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!
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 toDisney 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.
Check out this short video of Merry Magic at the Walt Disney Resort!
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:

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.
You have two days left -- today and tomorrow -- to help Disney and Disney on Ice ("DOI") celebrate 100 Years of Magic.
...and you don't want to miss out on this celebration.
I have seen a lot of Disney on Ice shows over the years, and each one has been special. However, after you have seen quite a few of them, you start to see a number here or there that is repeated in different shows. Well -- let me tell you something -- Wednesday night, I had the privilege of previewing Feld Entertainment's newest Disney on Ice creation, "100 Years of Magic," and magic it was!
This is truly a show you will want to see. I know these shows come to our area a lot, but this one is a bit more special. It doesn't just focus on a specific area or cater to the girls (as a lot of Disney shows seem to do). It truly does focus on the company as a whole, highlighting some of their most glorious achievements - even bringing the Disney Parks and Disney's television history into the mix. (One piece of Disney history I did find missing, however, was Steamboat Willie. I would have loved to have seen Mickey in black and white skating around the area and kicking the celebration off. I mean, isn't that how Disney started off to begin with? ...Or maybe even a nod to Oswald...)
Oh well, let's get started. (I will have just a few basic pictures to share with you in this blog post. I took a photographer with me, and I am hoping to get those stills posted here soon!)
As usual, DOI started out with our favorite Fab 5 entering the rink and setting up the show for us -- Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto (although I'm not sure Pluto is in the mix for this particular show opening).
From there, we are treated to a few highlights from the Disney and Pixar family treasure box -- Aladdin, Finding Nemo, the Disney family of Princesses (although this is a rather "classic" set; no newer Disney Princesses included in this show); and Toy Story (a much shorter version than what is presented in other DOI shows):
Up next was the final number to wrap up the first half of the show. This - to me - was the crowning jewel of this particular show.
I swear, being a Disney geek, I just about teared up when I saw what came out on the ice. At first, all we saw was a CLOCK FACE (see picture below), highlighted in the spotlight - nothing else. I immediately screamed, "IT'S A SMALL WORLD!" (Yes, I said screamed. Sorry, folks around me. I couldn't contain myself. It just happens sometimes...)
Next up in the 100 Years of Magic celebration was a tribute to the one ride that is iconic to all Disney parks around the world -- IT'S A SMALL WORLD ("IASW"). Yes, I said that -- they did a tribute to IT'S A SMALL WORLD!!
If you absolutely hate the song (as a lot of people do), then this would be a good time to start your intermission, but I'm telling you -- if you leave for this segment -- you are going to be missing out on one of the grandest presentations Disney on Ice has ever done. Flat out. Period.
Not only did Feld Entertainment replicate in it's entirety and in all its splendor the It's a Small World ride facade:
...but when those double doors at the bottom opened...the skaters emerged dressed as the dolls from the ride and singing the iconic tune. (Yes. THAT iconic tune...)
It's a lovely little piece with several of the countries getting their turn in the spotlight. I swear -- I almost cried. THEN...it got even better and Feld Entertainment pushed it UP a notch (in my little and humble opinion)...
Those same double doors opened AGAIN, and yes -- hang on -- the music from the MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE ("MSEP") begins. I swear (yes, I am swearing a lot during this post) - I jumped up from my seat, started yelling, and the Dad in front of me (holding his two-year old) turned around and gave me the oddest look....(Oh well, small price to pay for Disney geekdom...)
And do you know what came OUT of those doors while the music was playing? Nope. Not the MSEP floats, but floats of the IASW ride! Tying both events and iconic Disney Parks items into one beautiful scene! For instance, do you remember this scene from the IASW:
Feld Entertainment has beautifully recreated it in "float" form for this scene in DOI. (It's very hard to find good images of this on the internet, so you will just have to trust me on this one!)
To cap off the first half of DOI before intermission, Mickey comes down in the hot air balloon that graces us in the white room of the IASW ride inside the Disney Parks. What a glorious way to end the first half!
I could have just gone home after that first half, but Feld had more in store for us to help celebrate. Kicking off the second half of this show, we were treated to a nod to Disney's television past - the Mickey Mouse Club show from the 1950s! So great to see Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck "marching" and singing along with all of us in the audience. Again, I think I teared up a time or two during this number...
From here on out, it was back to the movies -- Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, Mulan (my favorite Princess), Pixar's The Incredibles, and The Lion King (the iconic Circle of Life moment).
To wrap up this fabulous show in a neat little bow, Feld and Disney bowed down to Disney's iconic musical number, "Circle of Life." While the song played, all the characters from the two-hour show reappeared and dance and sang together. ...and in true Disney on Ice tradition, Mickey and Minnie ended the show by taking their respective bows and thanking us for attending and helping them celebrate:
If you have the chance and live in or close to North Atlanta, I highly encourage you to go and see this Disney on Ice celebration. As I said above, I've seen a lot of these shows, but this one tops them all. I am quite sure it has to do with their nods to the Disney Parks and their television history. I wish more Disney on Ice productions would include nods like these. It pulls at all our heart strings, not just the children's, and it makes for so much more of an enjoyable experience.
I feel that if Feld Entertainment and Disney touched on these experiences and the vast array of material they have available to them (i.e., Tiki Tiki Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise; The Wonderful World of Disney tv show), their audience size could at least double. Disney and Feld Entertainment are missing out on a whole audience! So many adults (without children or with grown children) could easily be pulled into these shows if they encompassed so much more than just what is popular to children today. Tug on our heart strings Disney! You certainly possess the ability and knowledge of how to do it! I, for one, would welcome these additions to your Disney on Ice family!

Please help me in welcoming, Lindsey, to our family of sites, as she presents her very first review for us! Take it away Lindsey!
Disney On Ice: Let's Celebrate lives up to its title - in itself, the show is a
reason to celebrate! The show featured
different segments on reasons to celebrate, including a Very Merry Unbirthday
with Alice and the Mad Hatter; a Halloween Town celebration with Jack
Skellington and the Disney Villains; Valentine's Day with the Princesses and
their Princes; summer vacation in Hawaii with Nani, David, Lilo, and Stitch,
which lead to Japan with Minnie, and China with Mickey, Mulan, and Li Shang;
Mardi Gras with Tiana and Naveen; and finally, Christmas with Buzz, Woody,
Jessie, and friends. If you're feeling
homesick for the happiest place on earth, I highly recommend Let's Celebrate!Fun for the entire family, it is the perfect
touch of the Disney Parks close to home. If you're seated close to the ice, the
characters may interact with you! Even
if you are seated far away from the arena, the characters on ice still make
attempts to bring the audience into the show, such as saying the magic words
with Fairy Godmother (Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!) or saying "Aloha!" along
with Lilo and friends to kick off the Luau in Hawaii.
Some underappreciated characters
made an appearance, including Pinocchio, Geppetto, and the Blue Fairy; Mowgli
and Baloo; Jack Skellington; Alice and Mad Hatter; Cruella De Ville; and many
others.It was nostalgic to see the characters that
aren't often included. The Halloween
Town party was haunting in the most theatrical and fun-filled way. The Jack Skellington figure skater was
phenomenal - the movements were whimsical, fun, and daring, much like Jack
himself. The Valentine's Day segment
with the Princesses was gorgeous. All of
the Princesses were included, with the exception of Pocahontas, Aurora,
Rapunzel, and Merida. The princesses had
an individual dance to a contemporary remix of their signature song with their
prince. The final dance with everyone
was to Enchanted's "That's How You Know," which had everyone wanting
to clap and sing along. After a short
intermission, the show returned with summer vacation in Hawaii. The theatrics in this were amazing. Be surprised for some daring stunts and
pyrotechnics from David. The best part
of summer vacation was the very end - Louisiana with Tiana and Naveen had
everyone clapping along and having a great time. The bluesy melody of The Princess and the Frog soundtrack along with the fast paced
skating and dancing was well received by all. The final Christmas segment had kids of all
ages in the audience enthusiastic - "The toys are back in town!" Toy
Story is a timeless classic, and I loved seeing them out on the ice! I was most impressed by the costumes for Hamm
and Rex. Their costumes were very cumbersome,
but they still engaged with the audience (Hamm let the kids pet him!)
Overall, Let's Celebrate is one of the most interesting Disney On Ice
productions. What appeals to the
audience is that it's suitable for kids of all ages. Parents and grandparents will enjoy it just as
much as the little ones will. The timing
of the production is also convenient. It's
the perfect event to bring in the holiday season. Regardless of holidays and celebration, it's
the perfect event to get your fix of Disney (I know that I suffer from Disney
withdrawls!) If it's coming to a city near you, don't miss out on the
opportunity to see this production! Bring some good company, and Let's Celebrate!
