Celebs React to Dick Clark’s Death – Part 2

It almost seems as if every celebrity in the world either knew Dick Clark or was influence by him. Here’s a few more reactions to his death: I don’t think Snoop Dogg ever appeared on “American Bandstand,” but he had nothing but love for Dick Clark, tweeting, “REST IN PEACE to the DICK CLARK!! U were pioneer n a good man!! Thank u sir.” Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons said, “Dick Clark was eternally young. No matter what culturally phenomenon was happening, he always embraced it. RIP…” The Jonas Brothers, who aren’t even old enough to have lived through Dick … Continue reading →

One More Disney Day Leap Year Extravaganza

It’s every kid’s dream: getting locked into Disney World overnight. While other Disney events have come close, notably Senior Trips/Grad Nites and New Year’s Eve parties, no one’s ever been allowed in a Disney Park in the middle of the night before. Or at least, a park has never been open to guests for a full 24 hours before. But now, both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom will be. One More Disney Day is how the Disney Parks have chosen to honor Leap Year. It’s an event that only comes around every four years, so execs wanted to celebrate it … Continue reading →

What Is DisneyQuest?

Lately many articles I write seem to be giving me other ideas for more, as I learn about new Disney topics I’d like to explore. Today’s inspiration comes from my New Year’s Eve article; one of the settings at Disney World for end-of-the-year celebrations was DisneyQuest. I’d never heard of the attraction before, so I did some research and now I’m bringing what I’ve learned to you. The Disney World website describes DisneyQuest as an “indoor interactive theme park” with a “one-of-a-kind gaming experience.” Think restaurants like Dave & Busters or even just a classic indoor arcade, but with a … Continue reading →

Disney’s Plans to Broaden its Appeal

I’ve written a lot about the Disney Princess culture, and how it’s experienced some backlash lately. Though Disney makes truckloads of money off its Princess brand, it also takes a hit from the brand due to how alienating it supposedly is for boys. While Disney is in the midst of expanding its Princess line, adding a larger fairy tale section and brand new Pixie Hollow to the Magic Kingdom, it’s also got some elaborate plans to draw young male interest. Some of these plans are already in place. For a few years now the Hollywood Studios at Disney World has … Continue reading →

Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow

Did you know that is what Epcot means? We forget sometimes that E.P.C.O.T. is an acronym and not just a name. 25 years ago, Epcot was opened. The original plan for this area was not necessarily an amusement park, but rather as a city of its own. The idea was to be a modern utopia designed much around the idea of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority and more. Walt’s original plan would create a downtown that was always indoors. This way the weather was always perfect – no matter if a hurricane was blowing in from outside. There would also be … Continue reading →

Disneyland Paris Turns 15

Posted on by

I remember when Disneyland Paris first opened. Can it really be 15 years ago? Apparently so! Although, much younger than Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida, Disneyland Paris has made it’s mark on the social landscape and become a destination for millions from around the world. The birthday celebration comes at a time when Disney is also celebrating it’s Year of a Million Dreams and the fan-favored Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is set to premiere. I get excited just thinking about it! Euro Disney S.A.S. Chairman and CEO Karl L. Holz said: For 15 years, … Continue reading →
