Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Royal Asante Presidential Suite Tour, Walt Disney World – Photos & Video

Hi everyone!

We had the opportunity to tour the amazing Royal Asante Presidential Suite at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (below, left). The suite is over 2000 square feet – it seems even larger, and has so much detail in every room. The living room is spacious, with couches and chairs in a circle (below, right), and a fireplace just steps away.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Update: Disney’s Tangled Display at The Magic of Disney Animation – Photos & Video

Hi everyone!

We were at Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday and decided to check on the Magic of Animation display area, in case Toy Story 3 had made way for Tangled. As you can see below, Tangled now fully encompasses this area that has also featured The Princess and the Frog and UP! A display case (below, left) holds artwork from the film. A closer look (below, right) shows the film title, along with art depicting characters and scenes from the film that originally had been titled after the main character, Rapunzel.
