Test Track Update!!!


EPCOT

Well, progress is being made as the open date for Test Track "2.0" draws nearer every day! One big change that has happened already is "test Track ALL STARS', a musical show that takes place several times daily outside the construction walls has opened (I find it quite strange).  Also, re-imagineering is taking place, as new sets, props, parts and tech are being brought in.  One BIG relief for the original Test Track fans; the track WILL REMAIN THE SAME!!!! Yes! So, this update will be super, and we need it to open NOW! Watch the video - look how depressing it is without a teat car zooming by every minute! On a happier note, the Coca Cola road signs and frozen test car still remain, giving us a look at was and what is to come! What are you looking forward to? Any new news? Please leave them in the comments, don't forget to follow this blog if you enjoyed this article, and have a fun, fast-paced, MAGICAL day!

Ooops! I forgot!


As you can guess, I forgot to mention something about Cars Land at DCA - the really cool ride "Mater's Junkyard Jamboree"! This is a ride where you are pulled by the infamous Radiator Springs tractors (who Mater likes to tip every now and then) in an out of control seat that rapidly swings you back and forth as you drive through the junkyard.  While this ride was very unanticipated, it is just the opposite, and will put a smile on everyone's face who hops on.  Above is a video (shot by my Instagram friend Christian) of the ride shot on opening day.  Just see those carts swing, and be sure to music with some amazing vocals from non other than Mater himself.  Any comments? Please leave them below and have a magical day!

Disney Flashback - The Enchanted Tiki Room

DISNEYLAND

               Yesterday was just a normal day for most of the world, but for Disney fanatics like myself, visions of singing birds syncronized to dazzling waterfalls sat in our heads all day long.  Yesterday marked the 43rd birthday of, you guessed it, the Enchanted Tiki Room (and I know, I probably just got that song stuck in your head.  You know, the one that goes like, "in the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room). It's hard to belive that this iconic attraction has been entertaining park visitors for over 43 years now, and Walt himself was still alive!  For Walt Disney World, however, they have REALLY only been there for 10 months, as the Disneyland duplicate opened there last year.  Before that it was The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management, and way baclk it was Tropical Serenade Presented by Dole.  So as we look back at this iconic attraction, what reflections or memories would you like to share? Please leave them down there in the comments, i'd LOVE to hear them. In the mean time, have a tiki-licious, magical day!

Zoom into Cars Land!


Disney's California Adventure
Today, the construction walls come down and the newest edition to Disney's California Adventure, Cars Land, will be unveiled to the public for the first time (for info on Cars Land, look at my May posts). There have been, however, previews of Cars Land for special D23 members, passholders, ect., where they got to ride the rides, shop and eat in Cars Land! And some have even shot video of the rides. So, here it is, Radiator Springs Racers! (Not my video)

So, what are your thoughts? Please leave them below, and have a magical day!

Phines And Ferb: World Showcase Adventure

EPCOT

      If you have visited "the world" in the past five years, you know a big hot in EPCOT is Kim Possible's World Showcase Adventure, a role-playing attraction whedre you venture through various countries in World Showcase using a cell phone, was a big hit.  But this year, something hit the Imagineers: the last KP (Kim Possible) episode aired in 2008, and now most kids (unless youre from the old school Disney Channel like me) have no idea who Kim is.  But there is a new cartoon on Disney that everyone loves; Phineas and Ferb.  So, the Imagineers kissed the KP adventure goobye, and totally updated the attraction for a more modern, fun, and Phineas & Ferb-y type experience.  What did they do?

-Put in WAY more stops for more quests for more fun.
-FINALLY got rid of those old flip cell phones.
-Made the quests easier for smaller children.
-Put adventures in ALL 11 World Showcase Countries.
-Made it Phineas and Ferb!

There are only 104 days in Summer vacation, so go check it out now! Have a magical day!
