Today I got my new upgraded annual pass, the Disney Premiere Passport as announced yesterday during the Walt Disney Company shareholder meeting. I was told I was the first Disneyland/WDW passholder to receive this new pass today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Guest Relations (the cast members were excited and even took a picture). I was also told there are currently just over seven hundred duel coast pass-holders who qualify for the free upgrade to this new Premier Passport.
Benefits include:
Unlimited admission for 365 days to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure, including Park Hopper privileges
Parking for all theme parks
Unlimited admission to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach water parks at Walt Disney World
Subscriptions to Passholder publications
A one-year subscription to Disney Family Fun magazine (one per household)
Unlimited admission (except activities/events specially priced) to DisneyQuest in Downtown Disney Orlando, ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex (valid only on event days; some events require an additional admission charge) and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course (greens fee only; tee time reservations are required and subject to availability).
We stopped by Disney’s Hollywood Studios and found a new Toy Story 3 exhibit up where the Princess and the Frog had been (and UP before that). We’ve had photos and video of all these exhibits. The cases (below, left) hold quite a bit of artwork and story drawings from the film. Slinky Dog (below, left) is returning, as are most (or all) of the characters you love.
There are two maquettes (one is below, left) and a couple of posters – one of them is of Mr. Potato Head sporting the Toy Story 3 logo (below, right).
Another Toy Story 3 poster features Jessie (below, left). A colorful Woody poses (below, right).
A variety of sketches feature aliens and Bo Peep (below, left) and even more Bo Peep (below, right).
Jessie’s Critter Call Yodels (below, left) includes numerous “hits”, such as “Twirl your Squirrel“. One of many pictures of Jessie is below, right.
Al Mcwhiggin from Al’s Toy Barn (below left)and Emperor Zurg looking appropriately evil (below, right).
Mr. Potato loses his eyes, nose and mouth (below, left). Andy goes to college (below, right).
Family drawings and portraits (below left and right) are also featured.
Buzz and Woody stand in the case, with watercolor pictures in the background (below, left). Warm images of Andy and his toys are part of the film (below, right).
Buzz Lightyear is shown with Lots-o-Huggin Bear or Lotso, as he is referred, will be voiced by veteran actor Ned Beatty (below, left). Mr. Pricklepants, to be voiced by Timothy Dalton, is new to the story (below, right) – and looks like he will be a fun character!
Bonus Video - Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3 Display, Disney’s Hollywood Studios 3/9/2010 – This display replaced the Princess and the Frog display at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Animation Building).
In a different display area, a variety of blocks include toys and characters from the story (below, left), including one of Sids toys and a Barrel of Monkeys (below, right).
More watercolors and sketches line a display (below, left) and Mary Poppins joins two penguins at a character meet-and-greet inside the Magic of Disney Animation. We were told that a variety of characters comes out at 5pm, and there were tons (including Jafar, Snow White, Pocohantas, and more at various times when we were there).

Jeff Lange brings you vintage footage from two completely different but unique elements of Disneyland history!
Light Magic replaced the popular Main Street Electrical Parade, but ended after only 4 months in 1997. Two different vantage points – from the Small World mall and Main Street USA – give you a complete look at Light Magic!
One Man’s Dream was a beloved stage show that also ran for 4 months in 1990 before making way for Dick Tracy’s Diamond Double Cross. Performed at the Videopolis theater, this show celebrated the remarkable imagination of Walt Disney. This is a show not to be missed!

BURBANK, Calif. – March 10, 2010 – It’s a milestone year for the Disneyland® Resort, and D23: The Official Community for Disney Fans is celebrating with the premiere of DESTINATION D, a brand-new, two-day event exclusively for D23 Members that illuminates Disney’s fascinating history.
Here is the second part of our Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival update. A few days ago I posted photos of Future World from opening day, and we went back twice over the past few days to get pictures from World Showcase (as well as the Festival Center). You can see Spaceship Earth (below, left) beyond one of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival signs. A windmill (below, right) helps complete the Mickey and Minnie topiary set at the front of World Showcase (below, right).
Today was the first official day of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, and Disney did a great job! We have some possible frost coming in the next couple of days, so hopefully the topiaries and flowers hold up well. Donald, Goofy and Daisy enjoy the great outdoors (below, left) as Pluto looks over the “Welcome to the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, Celebrate the Great Outdoors” sign.
I had the opportunity to go to my first ESPN The Weekend event, it was really a great time! The theming starts from the time you arrive (below, left) and the stage in front of the sorcerer hat holds a variety of events during the weekend (below, right).
