Walt Disney World: New Halloween Experiences Added!

 

There is some new fall fun coming to the Walt Disney World Resort September 15 – October 31!

Throughout the day, special Halloween cavalcades will pop up on the parade route and head down Main Street, U.S.A.  You could come across Mickey Mouse and his pals, all dressed up for the occasion in Boo-tiful Halloween costumes. On select days, you may even encounter a cavalcade of Disney Villains – from Gaston and Maleficent to Queen of Hearts and Jafar – creeping down the path or a nightmarish procession featuring the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington! 

As another special treat for the Halloween season, the iconic Dapper Dans are coming back to Magic Kingdom Park, beginning September 20, performing as their undead alter egos The Cadaver Dans.  You will be enchanted by acappella performances from the Cadaver Dans when they emerge from their tombs.

The Halloween spirit is also in the air over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where Minnie’s Halloween Dine is set to return to Hollywood & Vine, beginning September 25.  A monster feast will be served to your tables, and favorite Disney friends will make special appearances in the restaurant.  You can wave and snap photos of Minnie Mouse dressed as a happy witch.  Goofy is coming as a spooky cowboy, Mickey Mouse as a funny vampire, and his best pal, Pluto, gets into the act wearing a cute Halloween collar.

I am really so excited, most especially to hear that The Cadaver Dans are returning!  I absolutely love this quartet.  If you are going and you haven't heard them sing before, please try and seek them out.  They are the very best!

There are still plenty of admission spots left for resort Guests, and remember capacity is capped at 25% right now.  It's an incredibly historic time to visit the Walt Disney World resort.  E-mail me at debbie@dreamsbydesigntravel.com to start planning your trip today!

Walt Disney World: Holiday Magic Begins!

 

It's time!  Starting November 6!  It's the most magical time of the year!

"We have an update on some of the festive experiences coming to Walt Disney World Resort.  Building off of our recent experiences of operating in a new environment, we’ve reimagined the holidays which will, of course, apply current our current health and safety measures while still keeping the joy and magic of the season.  And while things are looking a bit different at Walt Disney World and beyond, we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

 

We know how much our Guests love the holidays, so from Nov. 6-Dec. 30, they will be able to enjoy festive décor, themed merchandise, seasonal food & beverage offerings, and entertainment all across Walt Disney World Resort.  Holiday magic will be in full force at the four theme parks and Disney Springs, and Santa Claus will make time for special pop-up appearances at each location, waving and exclaiming holiday wishes to all. 

Guests will be delighted by the sight of festive flotillas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, holiday promenades at EPCOT, and merry motorcades at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.  Character cavalcades at Magic Kingdom Park will take on a special holiday twist, with Christmas friends on festive floats in their holiday finest.  Gingerbread Men?  Check!  Elves and Reindeer?  Check, check!  And the Toy Soldiers will join the Main Street Philharmonic as they march through Magic Kingdom Park, bringing musical holiday cheer for all to hear.  

 

When night falls, special projection effects will give a festive look to Cinderella Castle this year, providing a colorful backdrop for our Guests’ photos.  The appearance of the iconic castle will be transformed with a rotating series of designs including a whimsical Christmas sweater and a regal overlay of red, green, and gold ornamentation.  This will be in place of the Castle Dream Lights.  Other holiday experiences that draw big crowds will be on hiatus this year as well, such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Candlelight Processional at EPCOT.  We know these experiences are a cherished part of holiday traditions that will be missed by Guests and Cast Members alike, but we’re glad to be able to bring holiday magic in other creative ways.  

Of course, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without enjoying a meal among friends and family.  Minnie Mouse will be hosting a yuletide gathering for all her friends at Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting Nov. 6.  Santa Goofy will be there, along with Minnie and more in their holiday best. 

Shifting gears to Disney Springs, Guests will discover Christmas around every corner as they come across a collection of elaborately-decorated Disney Christmas trees spread throughout this retail, dining, and entertainment destination.  In the evening, Guests visiting areas within Town Center, West Side, and The Landing will encounter a magical snowfall, adding an extra touch of wonder to their holiday shopping.  And to top it off, Jock Lindsey will once again be turning his hangar bar into Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar complete with delightful holiday décor and a delicious limited-time menu filled with festive favorites. 

Disney Resort hotels will also be decked out for the holidays, with their lobbies featuring iconic trees and other festive flourishes.  One thing to keep in mind is that our gingerbread displays will not return to the Resort hotels this year.  While we know they are a favorite of people taking in the holiday décor, we’re not able to include those displays due to physical distancing guidelines.

Starting a bit later in the season, on Nov. 27, we’ll celebrate highlights from the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.  Holiday kitchens will return around World Showcase promenade with favorites like American Holiday Table featuring Slow-roasted Turkey with Stuffing and Bavaria Holiday Kitchen with dishes like Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl.

Guests will be invited to step inside World ShowPlace to enjoy the returning group, JOYFUL!, who present a journey through R&B, Gospel, contemporary, and traditional Christmas and holiday music.  Also, the Voices of Liberty will bring their incredible 8-part harmonies to the America Gardens Theatre stage for a special concert of favorite carols and songs of the season.  There are plenty more details about this festival to come, so stay tuned.

We’re all looking forward to creating new holiday traditions with our Guests and Cast Members this year, as we introduce unique ways to enjoy the season together. There’s a lot of holiday fun to see and do here at Walt Disney World Resort!"

I'm really bummed about losing the gingerbread displays, but other than that, it looks like the Walt Disney World Resort is really trying their best and hardest to keep things festive and fun, as always.

Road Trippin' With My Favorite Disney Characters

Do you remember the last time you traveled?

You packed your bags, tidied the house, maybe boarded the pets, and planned out your itinerary...then you got in the car (or on the plane) and traveled to either a place you love and visit often or somewhere new and exciting you've always wanted to go.

That's how last night at State Farm Arena was for my family.  I packed my bags (well, my Disney Lula Roe shirt and purple sequined ears), kissed the pets goodbye, and planned out my trip to Atlanta with my cell phone and Waze app. 

We traveled to both a place that we love and also to somewhere new and exciting. 

Thanks to Feld Entertainment's newest Disney On Ice show (called Road Trip Adventures), we were able to travel to some of the most magical places around the Globe - 17 Cherry Tree Lane, Agrabah, and even Polynesia.

It was magical.

Disney's newest Disney On Ice is a little under 90 min. long (including one intermission).  Mickey-eared Cast Members warm up the audience preshow, but you still have a few minutes after start time to grab some popcorn, a drink, and find your seats. 

The show starts in typical Disney On Ice style - Mickey, Minnie, and a few of their closest Fab 5 friends enter the arena and welcome us to the show.  Since this new show is road trip-themed, they come out in  their "car," which just so happens to have plenty of room for all of us.  Yay!!!  I was ready to jump in and go immediately.

From there, we road trip to many of Disney's most famous and magical locales - England to visit Mary and Bert; Hawaii to visit Moana, and of course Africa and Arendelle.  (I have plenty of live video on my personal facebook page, as well as my travel facebook page, and blog page was well.  Keep in mind, it's hard to film sometimes - these characters are so fast!)

The show really flew by quick for us.  I wish it was a full two hours, and I definitely think that Disney could add to the show highlighting more of their wonderful musical history.

My favorite parts were Mary Poppins and Bert and the Aladdin sequence.  (I love the new Jasmine solo from the newest live action film.)  The screens Disney and Feld use both as a backdrop and also in center "stage" are amazing.  They really help the show to pop and come to life.  As usual, the audience was full of Disney fans of all ages - little ones in pirate costumes and Princess gowns, teenagers, and Moms and Dads.  All of us singing out LOUD (yes, LOUD) to all the great musical hits we have known for decades.

If you will be traveling to see Road Trip Adventures at State Farm Arena this week and/or weekend, remember that there will be plenty of souvenirs to buy there.  Keep in mind that Disney On Ice keepsakes don't come cheap, but if you can hold off until after the show, Disney usually offers a special combo package on the way out.  (Our offer was a set of four different items, much cheaper than buying any one of them alone!)  You can also buy great Mouse Ears for all your Disney adventures on Amazon.  Here is a vendor that we have discovered and used several times in the past.  (Disclaimer:  This is an affiliate link.)  The ears are a fraction of Disney's cost and lighter.  I love them.

I will post more pictures as we get them, so check back often!  I really enjoyed this show.  It was definitely my most favorite Disney On Ice production so far.  Great acrobatics, characters, and even a surprise BANG at the end!

Tickets for Disney On Ice presents Road Trip Adventures start at $15.  All seats are reserved, and tickets are available online at ticketmaster.com.  For group rates and information, please call 1-866-248-8740 or Felddirectgroup@feldinc.com.  *Ticket pricing is subject to change based on market demand.

Disney On Ice to Play State Farm Arena THIS WEEK!

Good morning Disney fans (or maybe that should read fanatics...)

This is THE week!  Are we all ready with tickets in hand?  Disney's newest Disney On Ice ("DOI") production, "Road Trip Adventures," rolls into Atlanta's State Farm Arena beginning Wednesday night (9/25) and will be in town until Sunday, September 29th.

I am so excited to see my friends from Orlando again.  I always love Disney On Ice because (1) I don't have to get on a plane or in my car and travel to meet them and (2) because the DOI shows are always so amazing and fun. 

I love seeing the array of characters each show brings and I love hearing the arena fill with thousands of Disney fans singing all the Disney classics together.

If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, here is some additional information to help you get them in hand:

• Disney On Ice presents Road Trip Adventures will whisk families away on an immersive getaway chock-full of magical participatory moments!
  
  
• Featuring new and classic tales, this multi-generational experience will visit State Farm Arena from Wednesday, September 25 – Sunday, September 29 for nine performances.

Zappos - Coach Disney Key Fobs Less than $2! **FREE** Shipping!

Right now, Zappos is offering a $15 credit to your order when you join their Rewards Club.

After contemplating adding more Harvey's magic to my purse collection, I spotted these Disney key fobs.  They are by Coach and come in four colors.

Right now, they are on sale for $16.50, and when you use your $15 credit on them, they come to a whopping $1.50 (plus tax, which for me was $.11)!  ...and to sweeten the deal, the shipping is **FREE!**

Unfortunately, none of the cash back sites have Zappos on their site, but for a $1.50 Coach item, I think I'm good!

We aren't sure if this deal is open to the public or only select individuals or how long it will last, but it's a good idea to take a peek and see if you are offered the deal as well!

Happy shopping!

Disney on Ice's Frozen Lights Up Atlanta!

Welcome to Arendelle!

Yes, Frozen's fictional Norwegian town came to Atlanta this week, and you still have time to visit it this weekend.

Before I give this brief review, let me state up front - we were 30 min. late to the production due to the horrendous traffic in Downtown Atlanta.  When we arrived, we found we were not the only ones late; this show is PACKING in the crowds - our show looked to be almost completely sold out.  So, all that said - please make sure you leave in plenty of time for travel, traffic, and parking.

As with all Disney on Ice shows, as you enter the arenas you are bombarded with Disney music and souvenirs.  Included are all types of assorted Frozen paraphernalia, so come with deep pockets or an iron will power - items included the obligatory snow cone cups and cotton candy items along with Frozen dolls and t-shirts.

This Disney on Ice show follows the movie pretty much to a "T."  You will know definitely know all the words and music.  Each time a new character from the film arrived onto the ice, cheers ERUPTED from the crowd.  One of my favorites was Svan.  Who doesn't love this reindeer?

As with all Disney productions, quality is top of the line -- fantastic ice skaters, costumes, lighting, and special effects.  (If you are lucky enough to sit on the lower level, snow falls from the ceiling for most of the show.)

As I stated above, the ice show primarily follows the movie script, so children will know when each song is coming.  One of the highlights of the show is, of course, Elsa singing, "Let it Go."  As the scene started coming together, you could feel the rumbling in the air and hear all the children starting to murmur with excitement.  Before you knew it, the first few notes of, "Let it Go," played, and the whole arena erupted in cheers and screams.  I was sandwiched in between three little girls who sang from beginning to end at the top of their lungs (mostly off-key, but grinning profusely the entire time).  It is definitely hard to hold back tears when you are faced with magical Disney moments like this!

I was sitting on the second level, so my video was not the best.  Here is a clip from YouTube to give you a sneak peek of this magical moment:

Another favorite part of Disney on Ice for me is the bookending they do with core Disney characters.  Since I missed the front end of the show, I was ecstatic to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and a host of other Disney characters close out Frozen.

One other character note:  While Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff have been in the Disney Parks for a while now, this is the first time we are treated to Svan, Olaf, Hans, the trolls, and even the Duke of Weselton.  Nice to see all them in person!

Other fun effects include pyrotechnics during some scenes along with those scary wolves chasing Anna and Kristoff through the woods (yes, the wolves are on ice too)!

Overall, this Disney on Ice show is fabulous.  It doesn't travel far from the movie script, and that is good since all of America has seen this movie way too many times to count anymore.  It is a fun day or evening out for the whole family.

I mean, who doesn't enjoy a good sing-a-long combined with a Disney on Ice spectacular?

Disney On Ice's Frozen plays Atlanta's Philips Arena through TOMORROW.  You can still get tickets through Ticketmaster or the Philips Arena box office.
