Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort “Top of the World” Lounge and Fireworks Viewing – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

We were invited to the Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort by friends to enjoy an evening at the Top of the World Lounge.  I’d spent some time last year taking photos and video of the resort prior to opening, but had not yet been inside. In the lobby, there is an area set up for a cast member to assist guests who want to go up to the lounge and observation deck (below, right).

Summer Nightastic at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Re-Imagined, Rock ‘N’ Glow Dance Party – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

Summer Nightastic is in full swing, we already have photos and video from the Main Street Electrical Parade and the Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Show! We went to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror on Sunday night to see what was new – and after we rode, we were told it wasn’t quite finished. It is finished now, and it includes a new drop sequence for Summer Nightastic, and you’ll see your photo just before you drop and at the end of the ride before the doors open again. There is also some old-time (40’s) music before the drop, and a star field where the 5th dimension normally is. At night, the Hollywood Tower glows green from the shafts (below left and right).

Summer Nightastic Preview, Main Street Electrical Parade Returns and Summer Nightastic Fireworks Show Premiere – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

We had such a great time last night as the Main Street Electrical Parade returned to the Magic Kingdom! We saw this version at Disney’s California Adventure last year (see video HERE) where it was called “Disney’s Electrical Parade“, but it’s not the same as seeing it where I first did as a child in 1977. The Tinker Bell float (below, left) was new for last year, with 25,000 points of light. Mickey’s train announces the name of the parade (below, right), though it wasn’t changed for Summer Nightastic to the Main Street Electrical Parade moniker.

SpectroMagic Final Showing at the Magic Kingdom before the return of The Main Street Electrical Parade – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

SpectroMagic ended it’s current run last night, we spent the last 2 evenings at the Magic Kingdom to say goodbye and to get photos and video. I was in attendance for Spectromagic’s premier showing on October 1st, 1991 during Walt Disney World’s 20th anniversary celebration. I thought it’d be fitting that we be there for the final showing before the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade. The SpectroMen signaled the start of the parade (below, left). The classic Walt Disney World logo is shown (below, right).

Interactive Talking C-3PO Thrills Guests At Star Wars Weekends, Weekend 2 Recap – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

Star Wars Weekends was another hit this week, and C-3PO has been the biggest draw of all! (below, left and right). Crowds have followed him anytime he’s left his meet-and-greet spot, and lines have been long today to meet him. He was in the Celebrity Welcome as well (below, left), standing next to Tom Kane.

Star Wars Weekends, Week 2: Interactive Talking C-3PO, Guests: Matthew Wood, Lorne Peterson and Tom Kane – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

We were very surprised yesterday at Star Wars Weekends to see an interactive talking C3PO in the park! While waiting for the Hyperspace Hoopla, we heard the crowd get a little louder – we turned around, and C3PO was walking by (below left and right). He is fully interactive, in the way that the Mickey Mouse was in a test at Disneyland.

Fantasyland has been undergoing quite a few changes, including the wall being moved to allow for better guest flow through the area. Scuttles Landing is now gone as is it’s canopy – but the tables and chairs remain (below left and right).
