Hi everyone!
The DVC Bay Lake Tower is just a few months from opening and everything looks nearly finished on the front exterior of the building (below left). A view of the relocated tennis courts (below right) from high atop the Contemporary Resort.
Hi everyone!
I am very happy with the reaction to my latest DVD release, Jeff Lange’s Disney-MGM Studios Parade Classics – 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition (for more information or to order, click HERE)! Last week was a huge one for Walt Disney World, I had a wonderful trip and have another update that came out of it.
Walt Disney World rolled out the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade without the Villains Float, but with many more characters interacting with guests. Characters like Geppetto also are in the street and not on the float.
Pluto waves to the crowd (below, left). Geppetto now walks through the street, shaking hands with guests (below, right).
Hi everyone!
Today, Denise from site partner MouseSteps finally made it onto the new Downtown Disney balloon experience Characters In Flight! Enjoy a full report on her two flights with photos and exclusive video.
Characters In Flight (operated by Aerophile) is a tethered helium-filled balloon that takes guests 400 feet above Downtown Disney. The ticket counter (below right) is where you can purchase your ticket immediately before entering the final queue for your flight.
Hi everyone!
I just returned from a quick trip to Walt Disney World where I recorded footage for my upcoming DVD, Jeff Lange Experiences: Epcot’s Flower & Garden 09 DVD (my 2008 edition is available HERE). I was also able to see the Characters In Flight balloon testing and learned that the opening date has been pushed back pending building permits and further testing.
I have some photos and video from around Walt Disney World starting with Pleasure Island (below). It seems the Celebrate Tonight theme has made it’s way to the Island and I am told there will be nighttime entertainment offered going forward.
Next is the Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower (below left). The Fantasia Market (below right) will replace the Concourse Sundries-Spirits shop which closed on January 20th.
Hi everyone!
Today I have some great photos and exclusive video from the upcoming Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival! Below is Sorcerer Mickey and the Broomsticks from Fantasia plus the all-new topiary from the Ostrich Ballet segment.
If the Sorcerer Mickey and Broomsticks look familiar they appear to be the ones that were on display next to the Hollywood Drown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (below right).
The Flowered Quilt display is growing in nicely (below left) and the Butterfly House going up (below right).
Some famous characters peer from the bushes as we spot Goofy and Mickey Mouse topiary getting ready for the festival!
Hi everyone!
Site Partner Mousesteps website is having some issues right now (it’s up and running, but no updates are currently able to be added). Denise went to take photos of the DVC Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower and 4th floor construction in the main building after taking new video of the parade at the Magic Kingdom. Below are her photos and words:
This photo was taken from the monorail:
And from the walkway between the Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary:
Hi everyone!
Last week I presented some photos of the last glimpse of Christmas at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Below are some updated photos of the same views after the post-Christmas changeover.
The classic Mickey Mouse floral display has returned to the train station (above left) and Main Street USA has said goodbye to the Christmas tree and garland for another year (Below).
I personally love the holidays at Walt Disney World and am always a little sad to see it end, but at least it seems to get bigger and better every year. Here’s looking forward to the holidays at Walt Disney World in 2009!
Exclusive Video:
