Adventures by Disney Cruise Enhancements

Once again the Disney Cruise line has teamed up with Adventures by Disney to help you make even more out of your Disney vacation. Before, the two created European Port Adventures, where guests on European cruises could follow Adventures by Disney guides on land to see and learn even more of the countries they’re visiting. This time they’re doing something similar, with Alaska. The name is a bit wordier this time, called “Enhance Your Alaskan Cruise with Adventures by Disney.” For anyone familiar with Adventures by Disney, particularly its trips to rural locales, a lot of the activities are going … Continue reading →

Disney Cruises in 2012 and 2013

I haven’t reported as much on the Disney Fantasy as I did on the Disney Dream. The latest in the Disney fleet makes its maiden voyage in just a few weeks and yet this is the first that I’m reporting on it. That’s because there hasn’t been a lot to say; the Fantasy is quite similar to the Dream. It’s beefed up a bit, but it’s basically a bigger, fancier version of the Dream. Now the Fantasy is set to make its first trips, however, and the time has come to talk about it. For the first time a christening … Continue reading →

Festival Disney

I don’t know how I hadn’t heard of Disney Youth Programs before now. I know I didn’t pay any attention to Disney outside of following its films until I started Disney blogging, but given how many events Youth Programs offers I’m just surprised that it took me so long to learn about it. Soon after announcing the dates for STEP Classic, the official Parks Blog gave word on the 2012 dates for its other music and arts competition: Festival Disney. However, the post on the parks blog site is meager; it mentions that the Festival will run on “select” weekends … Continue reading →

Visit and learn the history of … Continue reading →

When the Famous Go Missing

Posted on by

Nick Stahl has gone missing. The actor, who played John Connor in Terminator 3, was reported missing by his estranged wife, Rose Murphy. Murphy told LAPD that she hadn’t seen Stahl since May 9th. She believes he was last seen in the Skid Row district. Earlier today, LAPD released a statement saying the actor is still listed as missing. The couple has been separated since January. Fearful of what she thought was drug use, Murphy asked that Stahl have limited, supervised visitation with their two-year-old daughter. I don’t know what is going on with Stahl, but it doesn’t sound good. … Continue reading →
