It's the start of another week here in the Royal Household, so I thought it would be nice to escape to sunnier climes. Perhaps the beautiful Mexico Pavilion in Epcot, Walt Disney World! Don't forget to drop by the blog and say hi!

A Window to the Magic (iTunes) Episode #227 Guest Host TJ shares with us a tribute to Harriet Burns. In an NPR 'This American Life' type format, we hear from many people who relate anecdotes about Harriet, including several Disney Legends as well as her daughter. We are relayed details from

The promotion that aimed to get people volunteering in their local communities in exchange for a free ticket to a Disney theme park has come to a close with the 1 millionth volunteer. Give A Day, Get A Disney Day reached that number in just over two months, quite a bit faster than they expected ...

Earlier today MousePlanet readers reported that the option to register for a volunteer opportunity through Disney's "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program had been removed from the Disney Parks Web site; now the site has updated it's FAQ to indicate that the program has reached th

This morning's must read story is the interview with Todd Heiden, International PR Director, Disney Destinations LLC. He tells the story of how the Tilt-Shift videos Disney Parks have been deploying have increased customer engagement plus they're just damn cool. So how did Disney start to u

A few weeks ago I attended a media event sponsored by Walt Disney World. While covering the event I stayed at Kidani Village. When I visited Kidani Village last year I did not come away very impressed with the resortbut...

It's been a while since we looked up to the beautiful wind vanes of Disneyland Paris. And seeing as this week has been some sort of Fantasy, why not stay in the fun land of Fantasyland. Today if we look up, we will see this interesting wind vane above the Peter Pan attraction. Don't fo

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day! And just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you can't celebrate. The following Downtown Disney restaurants have put an Irish twist on a few of their signature dishes: Fulton's Crab House is offering a hearty and delicious meal fit for

Without any further ado the first trailer from Tron Legacy. Open. Open. Open. This looks a little different from the 'proof of concept' trailer that was shown at Comic-Con, but it's still good. What do you think? Discuss this post, and anything else related to Disney, at the TownSqu

There are a couple of new Disney-related books that have been released recently, and while I haven't had a chance to read or review them yet I thought I'd let you know that they're out there. The first title is Warp and Weft: Life Canvas of Herbert Ryman, a "memoir biography"

The Disney Dudes Podcast (iTunes) #4-Wayne continues to report on his Christmas time solo trip. And I gotta say, "People, stop being so rude to Wayne!" He encounters a lady who runs him over, lies to him, but he still gets his Soarin' Fast Pass before her. Another strange twist to his

Editor: Please enjoy this special review from my wife Stacey. The Holiday Inn Walt Disney World Resort at Lake Buena Vista reopened for business on February 12th after a period of 'rebuilding'. Over 18 months they took the interior of building down to the bare concrete and replaced nearly e

Congrats to the well deserving crew up in Emeryville that worked on Pixar's "UP". It brought home two Academy Awards last night. One for best animated picture and one for best original score. I thought it was a nice touch that the people from Pixar in attendance wore the 'Bottle C

If you haven't had a chance to see Alice in Wonderland yet, the new Tim Burton and Disney movie, let's take some time to look at the Alice in Wonderland attraction out at Disneyland. The attraction opened on June 14 th , 1958, and is still in Fantasyland today. The attraction was ori

News and Rumors are gathered from various different websites. All rumors are rumors and are to be taken as such. News The Marketplace Marina at Downtown Disney is closed, with an expected reopening date in mid-March. The Baby Care Center in the Magic Kingdom will be closed May 14

I thought I would let the scanner cool down a bit and throw out a post. This is Nickel Tour #0586; it's one of the Art Corner cards showing Huey, Dewey and Louie on the Dumbo Ride. Above them is only one text box; any idea as to why the other two are blank? Was it left open so you can add

Over on Youtube Pinkwhig has uploaded a video mash-up that melds Disney Princess movies with the movie Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan. Yet another very good fan-made mashup. Keep them coming. Enjoy "Mean Disney Girls": Discuss this post, and anything else related to Disney, at the

I suggest that Disney's The Goofy Movie is one of the overlooked gems of Walt Disney's animation pantheon. It was Kevin Lima's coming out party as an Animation Director and largely a production of the short-lived French branch of Walt Disney Animation aka DisneyToon Studios. I'm no

To keep in with the Alice in Wonderland theming, today's blog post will take a close look at something situated in Fantasyland, in Parc Disneyland. Something close to Alice's Curious Labyrinth. And something that is part of the DF'82 Lighting Up series. These beautiful lights are sc

A while back I made my way to Village Haus for a hamburger. I recalled my sweeper days when I would enjoy a quick burger at the break room downstairs below the restaurant. There is a service window for cast members at the far western end of the main counter (it is behind the wall, just inside the
