Disneyland Paris


- Summer 2004, Disneyland Paris is celebrating the release of The Lion King III! And what better way to celebrate than to mount a statue of Pride Rock in front of the Castle and to have characters from The Lion King meet and greet all day, everyday* around it!



- "Mickey's Show" has been announced to premier on 8th March 2003. The show will include all of best moments from the animated classics and highlights of Mickey's life!

- The Main Street Electrical Parade has finally come to a glittering end. After 23rd March 2003, The Main Street Electrical Parade will be no more. So make sure you catch a glimpse before it's gone forever!

- Sully and Mike are currently appearing daily at Disney Studios!

- Gadget is a now a regular character appearing daily in the Magic Kingdom! Here is a snipet of the email I received from Disneyland Paris, "Gadget, along with all the other Disney favourite characters are in the Disneyland Park whenever possible. as always for the most up-to-date information call into City Hall on your next Park visit."

- From the 8th of Feburary to the 9th of March 2003 carnival hits the Disneyland Park. This Carnival will be based on the Jungle Book including all of your favourite characters including Mowgli, King Louie and Baloo.




Walt Disney World


- The Dragon Coaster for Beastly Kingdom in AK may be coming quicker than one first thought! Disney seems to be making props for it already! Check this site out, http://www.ebeffects.com/gallery.asp?p=6. If you notice, one of the images captions say, Animal Kingdom! So perhaps the coaster is coming at us fast!

- Haunted Mansion has a new addition to it! Outside the Mansion there is a new tombstone for Madame Leota, and the best thing is - it moves!! Leota's face is on the stone and her eyes move now and then, also the stone moves a little!

- Disney is constructing a new ride, Mission: Space! It is squeduled to open in 2003 costing over $100 million! Guests will experience special space effects including gravity loss. For more information about the forthcoming attraction visit http://disney.go.com/vacations/missionspace/.

- LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. : Disney magic meets Disney music in a new 3-D film spectacular debuting in 2003 at the Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort.
"Mickey's PhilharMagic" will star Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other favorite Disney characters animated in a way they've never before been seen: grand, glorious, in-your-face three dimensions.
"We're really excited about this new attraction," said Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Guests love the Disney characters and films, and this gives them the chance to take a magical ride right into the world of Disney animation."
The "Mickey's PhilharMagic" cast will include Mickey and Donald, as well as Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," Aladdin and Jasmine from "Aladdin" and Simba from "The Lion King."
Set in the PhilharMagic Concert Hall, which replaces "Legend of the Lion King" in Fantasyland, the eye-popping 3-D experience will unfold on one of the largest screens ever created for a 3-D film, a 150-foot-wide canvas.
Complete with in-theater effects, the attraction will immerse guests in the richly animated world of the Disney characters. The Walt Disney Company has experimented with animating the Disney characters in 3-D before, most notably in "Working for Peanuts," a 1953 Donald Duck/Chip 'n' Dale cartoon short, but never on a scale as grand as "Mickey's PhilharMagic." The attraction is being produced through the combined efforts of Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Feature Animation.
"We're always exploring ways to take 3-D to the next level," said Tom Fitzgerald, executive vice president and senior creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering. "From 'Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D' to 'Honey, I Shrunk the Audience' to 'It's Tough to be a Bug!', we keep looking for new ways to allow guests to become a part of the action and story.
" 'Mickey's PhilharMagic' will be the most animated, energetic and magical 3-D show we've ever created!"
