For me, part of the magic of a Disney Vacation is discovering what delicious treat is available that wasn’t on my last trip. This weekend I found a whole new line of very creative Disney themed candy. I love the names and the package design that went into creating this line. The price is too close to movie theater candy for my taste, but I will definitely be trying these sweets as the opportunity arises.
I found 13 different varieties. See close-ups of each box below the jump:
Pity the poor Disco Yeti. Touted as the animatronic to end all animatronics; jet powered with an amazing range of motion; guaranteed to scare the living daylights out of thousands of roller coaster riders on Expedition Everest daily; and yet, seemingly forever frozen in a… Read More »Revenge of the Disco Yeti
As you may have heard Mickey and Minnie are moving to a new meet and greet location in Town Square at the recently renamed, but not yet open, Town Square Theater. We posted recently about how this will be the first character meet and greet to feature a Fastpass option.

I’ve been holding off on posting about the new Haunted Mansion interactive queue hoping I could get over there and see it in person. Unfortunately, I’ve been under the weather lately, so visiting the Magic Kingdom isn’t an option. So instead, I present a special preview from Walt Disney Imagineering:
The new queue is currently in soft-opening phase. That means it may not be open when you’re there.
I’m a big fan of the idea behind the interactive queue and have been since Roger Rabbit Toon Town Spin and Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. I can’t wait to see this for myself. In the meantime, if you want a mega-spoiler edition of the above preview, check out this video from Inside the Magic on Youtube below the jump (since it has spoilers):

As I have previously covered here and here, apparently one of the privileges of being and EPCOT corporate sponsor is that you get to use pavilion as a set for your commercials. In this case Werther’s Originals, which recently opened the Karmel-Kuche store in the… Read More »New Werther’s Original Candy Commercial again highlights Epcot
