Word has definitely gotten out about what a fashionably fun time you can have at Dapper Day. In fact, Disney sent its own team from the Disney Style YouTube channel to film this featurette. Remember Walt Disney World is having a Dapper Day on March… Read More »Dapper Day – Disney Style Featurette
Update: added video of how the hashtag was made.
I love this new yearly event of celebrating an entire 24 cycle at Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom. When else can you see the sun rise on a majestic building like Cinderella Castle or take a foggy dawn cruise aboard the Mark Twain? The ‘Disney Day’ events would be great just for those rare opportunities. But Disney being Disney always takes it up a notch.
For this year’s all-night event, everyone is being invited to show their #DisneySide by dressing as their favorite Disney hero or villain. According to Disney both coasts will feature a great lineup of events showcasing the good-vs.-evil of classic Disney stories including character meet-and-greets throughout the parks, special entertainment, event merchandise and special food and beverage offerings.
For the 2014 Disney Day head to Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park in California. The event will run from 6 a.m., May 23 to 6 a.m., May 24, 2014, local time.
Lastly, to announce this event, Disney did something really cute with twitter. They created a 140 character hashtag out of Disney characters. Click the photo to head over to Flickr where you can see the full size version of this image and see if your favorite character is included.
Is your favorite character there? See complete list here. Head below the jump to see a new video with footage from Disney showing all 140 characters and how they came together to make this very unique tweet!

Disney has just released a concept video showing a short fly-over of a completely re-designed central plaza in the Magic Kingdom. I’d heard the rumors this was coming, but had not heard exactly how extensive the change would be. It’s dramatic. The end result will change the character of the main hub of the park, transitioning from moat to garden, an idea first conceived for Shanghai Disneyland. But Orlando is getting a version of it first.
Watch the video then join us below as we dissect a few key visuals:
The newly remodeled hub will feature several new elements, including fountains, sculpted gardens, additional pathways, expanded restaurant seating and even a special viewing area for fireworks and other performances.

Disney released a splendid new musical trailer for Muppets Most Wanted today, featuring the opening number from the movie, aptly titled “We’re Doing A Sequel”. Needless to say, it’s a lot of fun.

Waffle Sandwiches snuck their onto the menu at Magic Kingdom Sleepy Hollow Refreshments last year and have been one of the park’s best lunch values ever since. I’ve tried the Nutella and Fresh Fruit and the Ham, Prosciutto, and Swiss waffles, but I hadn’t made the acquaintance of the Sweet and Spicy Chicken waffle until recently.
First, let’s talk about the location. For the view, you really can’t beat Sleepy Hollow. I mean, even with a giant crane behind it, Cinderella Castle still soars majestically above your table. You’re also parade route adjacent, with a good view of the floats as they cross the bridge from Liberty Square to the hub.
The restaurant itself is in a great looking building with lots of architectural style and feels like it would fit in fine in revolutionary America. Seating is plentiful and there’s a covered area if the rains decide to come, which they often do in Central Florida.
