A new car model was spotted on Test Track today by Twitter user @shawnathon33. Thanks to Shawn for permission to use his photos here. Apparently, more of these vehicles will be rolling out soon eventually replacing all the existing cars. I’m told that these are… Read More »New Car Spotted on Test Track
El Capitan Theatre
In case you’ve been under a rock (Pride Rock?) you probably know that Disney has put a shiny coat of 3D magic on the classic film, Lion King. Saturday was the world premiere of Disney’s Lion King 3D at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Yes, I know I just said “the the” and I’m okay with it.
The Disney Blog had press credentials, so I took my fancy camera (read, iPhone) and my talent (read, 8-year-old son Atticus) and bellied up to the green carpet to let the stars come to us — which they did by the limo-ful (or whatever they drove, I didn’t have to valet this time).
Sadly, my iPhone couldn’t capture sound and picture with any clarity. I blame the thousands of people around us and the gentle lullaby of Hollywood Blvd. And by “gentle” I mean loud and freaky. Rather than have video without audio I went with the still photographs and casual conversation. Plus, my son was a little too nervous to conduct the interviews, and it was really, really hot out. We decided to play it cool, which works for us.
It’s a two-fer with our second Behind the Scenes video of the day. This time it’s a look at The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. EPIC, as it’s called by Cast Members, celebrated its 22nd anniversary last week and is still… Read More »Behind the Scenes at The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
You’ve seen the new video from OK Go where they cover the Muppet Show Theme Song (if not, go see it now, we’ll wait….). Pretty awesome, right? Now you can get a peek behind the scenes as the Muppets and the band perform together. Okay.… Read More »Behind the Scenes at the Muppet Show Theme Song Video with OK Go
Earlier, I wrote about the upcoming game from Microsoft known as “Kinect Disneyland Adventures.” Gameplay involves players walking around Disneyland and interacting with various aspects of the park as if they were actually there. (You can collect autographs, hug your favorite character, and create souvenirs.) The actual “challenges” are within lands inspired by the various rides of the park.
The game was originally previewed at E3, but more images were released at Gamescom (a large gaming conference recently held in Germany.) According to InsideTheMagic.net, the game is slated for a November 15, 2011 release, although this is not yet confirmed on Amazon. Click here to see my original preview of the game (including video trailers and ordering information) or go below the jump for more pictures. I’ll admit, the more pictures I see of the game, the more I like it.Read More »A closer look at Kinect Disneyland Adventures
Are you a Mousejunkie? There’s no shame in admitting it. If so, it’s likely you’ve lived much of the advice provided in the non-traditional Walt Disney World guidebook. But if you’re asking yourself, “Mousejunkie? What is that?” Or you still consider yourself a padawan on… Read More »Mousejunkies
It’s almost time for the fall shows to resume. Here’s a little Modern Family bit from behind the scenes of a Flash Mob scene. Love it!
I am excited to report that WDWMagic.com wrote a few days ago that Duncan YoYo Champs will be performing on the Waterfront Stage in Downtown Disney this week! Now, for those of you who have never seen competitive yoyo-ers doing their thing, this post probably seems quite… Read More »Duncan YoYo Champions to Perform at Downtown Disney
