Resort Updates
Disneyland
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout!
The infamous new ride that is coming to Walt Disneyland Resort, in DCA (Disney's California Adventure) In DCA they have replaced Twilight Zone's Hollywood Tower of Terror with this futuristic new marvel ride. So the story is that the collector from the movie has in prisoned our heros in his collection and its their adventures trying to escape. imagineers have described the feeling of the ride as having the same thrill that the tower did. Many are upset since The Tower was a favorite ride for many years and they don't want them to replace their favorite ride. However, The imagineer who has designed this ride created the amazing Cars land in DCA. So I trust his decision. I definitely will miss the tower of terror, but I am also excited for the potential of this ride as well.
There will be a interactive line as there will be holograms and collection items in tubes, it looks pretty interesting.
If you wanna watch their process of the building of the ride HERE is a link to the video. It's from the youtube channel Fresh Baked Disney, they are awesome and really a pleasure to watch. Disney says "Guests will experience multiple random, unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift will rock to the beat of music inspired by the film’s popular soundtrack." so I think the ride is gonna be awesome, what do you guys think?"
Recently in Disneyland, they opened a Beauty and the Beast restaurant called Red Rose Tavern. This restaurant is located where Pinocchio’s digs use to be at Village Haus. They serve a lot of Different type foods than Pinocchio's restaurant.
All photos come from DFB (Disney Food Blog) They have a very informative review HERE.
The review almost every item on the menu! I love their blog I read it a lot, they also have a youtube you can check them out HERE.
I have not been there. When I move to California next year (hopefully red rose is still there), I will cover it then.
Star Wars Land
The one thing I am most excited about is Star Wars Land (not the official name I'm assuming) So coming to Disneyland AND Disney World this galactic beauty is being built right now! and I have been closely watching its progress on youtube and different Star Wars and Disney blogs/vlogs.
So I have a big obsession with star wars and I cannot stop looking at theories and such. But this will be amazing for star wars fans and non-star wars fans alike. Whether you like it or not this will be cool, because the rides are said that they will be thrilling and unlike anything in the park. there will also be plenty of new restaurants and such inside the land. HERE is a playlist of building progress and theories of how the rides will be and such.
Above is the full announcement with details about the world of star wars, in both Disney world and land.
Magic Cards?
They are now testing a system reminiscent of magic bands. If you don't know what a magic band is, it's a bracelet with tech where you can it at a thing similar to the picture above. how it works is before you go in the park you arrange for fast passes or restaurant reservations. in Disneyland, they are slowly implementing them into the parks. We don't know if its permanent or just a test, but I hope it stays it sounds like a great alternative having to go all over the park to arrange for fast passes or restaurant reservations. HERE is an article that is more indepth.
Disney World
Pandora
Currently under construction, is the long awaited pandora. The world of Avatar Comes to life in this new part of Disney world. It will be placed in the animal kingdom. There are plenty of videos and vlogs to show you how cool it's going to be but I'll show a couple and link the others.
The ones above are the most informative ones I could find at the moment and also HERE is a link to a blog about it. I am very excited about it, the ground is supposed to glow and so are the plants. It's going to be totally immersive and I can't wait to see it.
Movies/TV
Beauty and the Beast
First of all, the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast was released March 17th, and grossed $1 Billion in the National box office placing it at the highest grossing live-action musical movie in history! That is a huge deal! Congratulations to Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evens, Josh Gad, and the rest of the Beauty and the Beast cast. Good Job! If you haven't read our review click HERE.
Moana
The story about Moana was released on November 23rd. This movie was the daughter of a chief of a Polynesian island called Motunui. She goes on a journey to save her people from a terrible evil. This movie was so good, I could watch it a million times. Moana grossed $628.6 million Dollars at the box office! Do I smell another Disney princess? Since she is not royal but a daughter of a chief she may not apply to the first requirement to being a Disney Princess. However, she applies to the rest of the requirements. If you haven't seen the movie go watch it! it's amazing! If you have and want to see what we thought of it read the review we wrote here.
CoCo
This is a movie that Pixar is working on, that is to release November 22nd this year! So what this movie seems to be about is this latino boy (his name is Miguel) who loves music, but his family (for some reason) has a ban on music. He still dreams of becoming like his favorite musician Ernesto de la Cruz. In a journey to prove himself, he finds himself in the land of the dead. So it seems from the trailer that his favorite musician was a family member because he has an old ripped up photo of a woman who looks related to our main character, and then the guitar the ripped out person is holding is the same guitar Ernesto has. So I'm assuming Ernesto is his grandfather. something happened with him to make the family ban music. I'm not sure it's just a guess, for now so I will post a review on this one later on. It seems like it will be similar to Book of Life where it takes place on the days of Dia De Los Muertos otherwise known as the day of the dead which takes place from October 31st to November 2nd. So, Miguel, I'm assuming is going to go to the land of the dead during Dia de Los Muertos, since that is when they open land of the dead so the dead can visit their loved ones. (what I got from book of life if I'm wrong please let me know). However, this looks like a great movie. I have been waiting for a Latino character since I really enjoyed Book of Life. Stay tuned for a review once it comes out.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tale
yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me. Seems like we are getting yet another installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I know many are tired of them, but I am totally excited for this one. Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and I love the character Captain Jack Sparrow. So this one is about Jack having to join up with his old nemesis the evil Capt. Salazar to go find the trident of Poseidon. And we get a new character who is a strong headed astronomer from the British navy. So this already sounds really epic. This one I definitely will write a review.
Guardians of the Galaxy | Vol. 2
Oh boy, we have been waiting a while for a second installment. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be released on May 5th. We loved the first movie so much we watch it with my dad at least every other month. This movie will be about the journey in finding out who his father is. In the last movie, we find out his father is some sort of sentient being. I can't wait to find out what is in store for this movie. There definitely will be a review of this beauty.
Star Wars | The Last Jedi
Ooooo, I am so excited for this one! Coming out on December 15th this year! I have some theories on what it will be about so I will write a whole post about it later, cause I have a lot to say. There are currently no trailers or hints on what it could be about. Expect futher updates on this later on this year.
Cars 3
Coming out on June 16th. This one is supposed to be about lightning getting beaten by the car depicted above. after that people begin to wonder if he's washed up and should retire. With the help of another racer, lightning learns new tricks to beat Jackson Storm in the Florida 500. I don't know If I want to see this one. The last one wasn't too good, I love Mater in all but I wanted the movie to be about racing, not silly Mater adventures. That is what Mater's tall tales is for. But, it seems it will be more focused on racing and Lightning Mcqueen so I will be taking my little brother to this one, cause Cars is his favorite movies. if you want a review, let me know. I probably will since I'm gonna see it with my brother.
Star Wars | Forces of Destiny
Star Wars: Forces of Destiny is a tv cartoon that is going to be 2-3 minutes in length about the heroics of star wars heroins. This will be on Disney's youtube channel. There will be a panel on it at Star Wars Celebrations in Florida. I cannot attend but I will be looking for ways to get the info from it. I'm really excited about them. I will include a link to a preview and an article about it if you're interested. These adventures will feature Rey, Jyn Erso, Sabine Wren, Princess Leia, Ahsoka Tano and others. The article says there may be a TV spot and books coming out. I think this is awesome, giving girls a show to watch with good female characters to look up to. Finally! Aparently, there will also be dolls of the characters coming.

Club Penguin Island
Did you grow up playing Club Penguin? Well since they closed the one on the computer it looks like they made a phone app! Here is what Disney says "Club Penguin Island is a subscription-based app that provides fans with engaging and immersive gameplay, and opportunities for self-expression, staying true to the core gameplay pillars found in Club Penguin.
