We had the opportunity this past weekend to see several different rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside – including the Royal Guest Rooms in Oak Manor (below, left), which are the most impressive. The rooms have an elegant and sumptuous feel to them (below, right).
Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee premiered at the Magic Kingdom today, and was an instant hit! Dancers, musicians, and characters from the movie invite guests to view the show (below left and right).
The Animation Building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the home to a new exhibit based on the upcoming hand-drawn film, The Princess and the Frog. The case (below, left) features props and drawings from the movie (below, right).
A sign for The Princess and the Frog (below left) sits outside the case. A painting of Madame Odie (below, right).
Princess Tiana as a maquette holds the frog (below, left). She also is in frog form (below, right).
There is also a nice Snow White exhibit in the Animation Building, called The Art of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (below, left). A maquette of the evil queen (below, right).

Today was the first day of Long Lost Friends Week (the second one of the year – see our coverage of week #1 HERE) for Limited Time Magic. Signs were posted letting everyone know who would be meeting (below, left). Chicken Little and Abby Mallard get in position once I tell them that the sky is falling (below, right).
The Marvel Iron Man 3 monorail (below, left) took it’s first passengers yesterday, as it glided along the express monorail beam between the Magic Kingdom and the Ticket and Transportation Center. This is the third time that a monorail has been wrapped to promote a film, following in the footsteps of the Tron Legacy and Avengers themed monorails. Iron Man (below, right) is shown on the side, along with “Stark Industries”.
We stopped by Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday, and visited the Magic of Disney Animation Building to see if anything had changed. We expected the Brave art exhibit to be there, but instead found Wreck-It Ralph concept art and displays in the Production Gallery (below, left)! Ralph (below, right) spends over 30 years as a villain in a game called Fix-It Felix, but grows weary in playing the bad guy. He leaves the game, and soon ends up in other adventures. Ralph (below, right), offers Pac-Man cherries to Q*Bert characters.
Denise stopped at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today to pick up a couple of items and also check the Magic of Disney Animation building (below, left) to see if the artwork from Disney/Pixar’s Brave was out yet. The sign on the front of the building said it was still the Pooh/Cars 2 display, but Brave (below, right) was actually inside! She was told the display isn’t finished yet, and the banners in the Courtyard still say Prep and Landing.
