    Movies Anywhere launches

    So, today, Disney took their Disney Movies Anywhere and joined forces, Voltron-style, with a bunch of other studios to make Movies Anywhere. The really cool thing about this is that they've gotten multiple online digital retailers on board with this, so you can pull movies from various platforms...

    Disney's New Ad

    By now, we've all seen the commercials for Universal Studios, about how they're a more mature, "grown-up" vacation destination. If not, here's a refresher. Disney has retaliated without even mentioning them. Unfortunately I cannot find a video on youtube on the moment, it starts with a little...

    Dream Big Princess Movie Event

    Just a reminder that, starting this weekend, AMC and other participating theaters will be showing various Disney animated films. Beauty and the Beast starts today and goes through 9/21, followed by Mulan, Tangled, The Princess & The Frog, and Brave. I really hope this is successful enough that...

    ESPN to become "The Ocho" for one day only.

    Specifically, August 8 (8/8; get it?). They will broadcast a whole day's worth of "seldom seen sports".

    Rest in Peace, June Foray

    The legendary voice actress has passed away. Citing all her numerous credits would take far, far too long, but her work for Disney included Mulan, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Ducktales, and Gummi Bears.

    WWE in WDW?

    So, tonight on Monday Night Raw WWE reminded everyone that 2017's Wrestlemania 33 will take place in Orlando. Now, the question is- will WDW or Uni try to cash in, perhaps try some sort of cross promotion? Certainly, I can imagine some wrestling fans who also like theme parks to try and hit both.

    If the Magic Kingdom lands got into a fight, who would win?

    Let's say someone, like Maleficent, casts a spell that turns the various lands of the Magic Kingdom into people. Said people then get into a brawl. Who wins?

    If you see "Space Mountain" on social media today...

    It is NOT about the ride in any Disney Parks. If you have to ask what it might be in reference to instead, then you probably don't want to know.

    It starts tonight at 8:30 PM EST. We're getting Thrawn, baby!

    Cracked.Com Article on Poor Guest Behavior

    So, today, humor site Cracked.com put an article on bad guest behavior at Disney Parks. And for the most part, I agree. Except when they start lambasting Disneybounders. First, those are not costumes. They are clearly street clothes with a color scheme meant to be evocative of Disney...

    Gift Cards from Target

    We're discussing a family trip to Disney, and I mentioned the trick of using the Target Card to get 5% off of Disney Gift Cards (stretch that vacation dollar, as it were). It then occurred to me that they may have decided to close this particular loophole, so I decided to see if anyone knows if...

    We've had a thread about which Disney moments make you cry, so let's go to the other end of the spectrum- which moments from Disney never fail to bring on the giggles?

    Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby!

    Today would have been the 99th birthday of Jack "The King" Kirby, co-creator of Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and countless other characters. More importantly, his art techniques and story telling style in the graphic medium were incredibly influential, from using different "camera...

    My sister just got back from a trip...

    It's always fun to hear her talk about it. She found Baymax terrifying, still loves DHS despite all the construction (her favorite park), and then we get this gem... "We met Aladdin & Jasmine and they were really nice, but you could totally tell that they were [copulating*]!"...

    Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders!

    Now, before you go, "Hey! Batman is Warner Brothers, and we talk about Disney here!", allow me to remind you that the original series aired on ABC (and, in fact, you can find a few bits of memorabilia in DHS), so I consider it fair game. Besides, it's too awesome not to share. Anyway, a new...

    Channing Tatum to play Merman in Splash remake

    Yup. Disney is planning a Splash remake, and Channing Tatum will be shirtless through a good chunk of it. I'm convinced that internet author Chuck Tingle is somehow behind all of this.

    Diamond Horseshoe Now Accepting Reservations

    Check it out. Probably just a seasonal thing, and the menu doesn't look too inspired, but it is nice to have another table service option in the MK while it lasts.
