Planes: Fire and Rescue invades Magic of
Disney Animation (May 25,
2014) |
Last
year
Planes
took
flight
into
the
theaters,
but
before
its
debut,
Disney
was
already
well
underway
into
developing
a
sequel
to
it,
Planes:
Fire
and
Rescue,
which
will
be
released
on
July
18.
Just
like
with
all
previous
Disney
films,
a
special

for
the
film
is
found
in
the
waiting
area
for
the
show
Drawn

at
the

Below

The
first
Planes
film
surprised
me,
and
from
the
exclusive

peek
at
this

this
one
appears
to
be
more
promising
than
the
first!

A New Starbucks in Downtown Disney (May
19,
2014) |
As
Disney
Springs
is
well
underway,
several
new
shops
and
restaurants
have
been
getting
closer
and
closer
to
their
opening
dates.
Two
Starbucks
have
been
in
the
line
up
for
about
a
year
now
and
one
of
the
Starbucks,
a
quick
grab
and
go
location
in
Downtown
Disney
Marketplace,
has
opened
as
of 2
o'clock
today!
Here
are
some
pictures
of
the
new
location:


As
you
can
see
the
location
is
located
between
the
main
entrance
of
World
of
Disney
and
the
Bibbidi
Bobbidi
Boutqiue
entrance.
With
prime
real
estate
located
directly
across
from
the
stage
on
the
Marketplace
side,
this
Starbucks
should
be a
hopping
place!

An Egg-celent Adventure (April 15,
2014) |
Last
year
Disney
introduced
a
new
activity
on
Easter
Weekend,
Epcot's
Egg-stravaganza!
The
idea
was
fairly
simple:
guests
picked
up a
map
of
World
Showcase,
along
with
12
stickers,
and
would
search
for
12
eggs
found
in
each
of
the
World
Showcase
countries
(including
the
Outpost)!
Due
to
the
activity
being
popular,
Disney
brought
back
the
Egg-Stravaganza
this
year
for
10
full
days!
I
made
the
trek
around
the
world
today
and
here
are
some
pictures
of
this
year's
Egg
Hunt!

guests
are
invited
to
stop
by
Disney
Traders
with
it.
Here
they
can
choose
between
one
of
six
eggs
to
bring
home!
The
options
are
Mickey,
Minnie,
Donald,
Daisy,
Chip,
or
Dale!
Here
is a

the
Donald

I
chose:

Overall,
the
experience
was
a
lot
of
fun,
although
fairly
easy
to
find!
Just
like
the
temporary
Muppets
Most
Wanted
game
in
World
Showcase,
the
Egg-Stravaganza
is a
great
way
to
visit
this
section
of
the
park
in a
unique
way!
You
can
pick
up
your
map
through
Sunday
at
several
stores
in
Epcot
for
only
$4.95!

Muppest Most Wanted at Epcot (April 5,
2014) |
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
Muppets
Most
Wanted
enter
the
theaters
and
has
been
the
#1
Comedy
in
America
since
its
release!
Epcot
has
now
joined
the
fun
by
adding
an
interactive
game
throughout
World
Showcase
to
get
guests
more
excited
about
the
film!

Guests
are
invited
to
join
the
MBI
(Muppets
Bureau
of
Investigation)
as
they
search
for
the
criminal
Constantine!
Guests
can
go
on
two
missions.
One
that
takes
them
through
the
United
Kingdom,
France,
and
The
American
Adventure,
and
another
that
takes
them
through
Germany,
Italy,
and
also
The
American
Adventure.
At
each
station
a
check
in
point
is
established
where
MBI
agents
receive
another
clue
to
help
them
crack
the
case.
New
signs
and
interactive
objects
have
been
added
to
enhance
gameplay,
and
of
course,
after
you
complete
your
mission,
you
get
free
things!

Check
in
Spot

Wanted

the
UK

A
fun
interactive
location
in
France!

Your
MBI
badge!

Freebies!
Overall,
the
game
is
very
simple
and
each
mission
can
be
completed
in
easily
20
minutes
or
less.
However,
it
is
definitely
worth
a
try
next
time
you
are
in
Epcot!

Birthday Hidden Mickey at Magic Kingdom (November
18,
2013) |
Ever
since
I
released
my
second
book,
A
Closer
Look
at
the
Magic
Kingdom's
Fantasyland,
one
of
the
most
popular
details
brought
to
my
attention
deals
with
a
Hidden
Mickey
in
line
for
Under
the
Sea!
An
Imagineer
went
all
out
in
figuring
out
how
the
sun
would
align
with
two
walls
at
noon
on
Mickey's
birthday
(today).
With
the
sun
aligning
with
the
two
walls
the
following
image
appeared
on a
wall
within
the
queue:

And
a
quick
video:
Coolest
Hidden
Mickey
ever?
I
think
so!

Minnie Mouse meet and greet arrives at
Studios (September 25,
2013) |
A
little
over
a
month
ago
I
posted
a
picture
of a
new
wall
found
within
the
Magic
of
Disney
Animation
(taking
up
my
favorite
section,
"Sound
Stage")
Today
the
walls
came
down
to
reveal
a
brand
new
Minnie
Mouse
meet
and
greet
area.
While
I
would
have
preferred
a
location
for
a
rarer
character,
the
meet
and
greet
queue
and
area
is
extremely
well
done!
Just
take
a
look
at
the
pictures
below!

No
real
indication
that
this
is a
Minnie
meet
and

Nice
reference
to

Lots
of
references
to

Once
inside,
Minnie's
room
is
filled
with
awards,
pictures,
and
more
fun
finds!

Villains at Studios (September 13,
2013) |
Today,
in
honor
of
Friday
the
13th,
Disney
hosted
one
of
their
most
unique
Limited
Time
Magic
events
to
date.
In
honor
of
the
spooky
day,
Hades
hosted
a
dance
party
in
front
of
the
Sorcerer's
Hat
while
some
of
his
villainous
friends
did
meet
and
greets
near
Echo
Lake.
We
got
in
line
for
a
mystery
villain
about
two
hours
before
the
arrived
and
waited
for
almost
three
hours
until
we
finally
met
Shan-Yu,
the
villain
from
Mulan.
Each
line
rotated
between
two
different
villains
(with
three
lines
altogether).
Our
line
rotated
between
Shan-Yu
and
the
Evil
Queen.
The
other
two
lines
rotated
between
Oogie
Boogie
from
The
Nightmare
Before
Christmas
and
Jafar
from
Aladdin.
While
the
final
land
rotated
between
Bowler
Hat
Guy
from
Meet
the
Robinsons
and
Maleficent!
Here
are
pictures
of
some
of
these
villains:




In
addition
to
the
characters,
a
special
Villainy
in
the
Sky
fireworks
show
was
presented
in
front
of
the
Sorcerer's
Hat.
The
entire
show
is
presented
below
(you
can
skip
to
about
the
two
minute
mark
when
the
fireworks
actually
begin):
Video streaming by Ustream
Overall,
the
event
was
amazing
although
very
crowded!
It
would
be
great
for
more
villains
events
in
the
future.
Due
to
the
popularity,
I'm
sure
it
did
give
Disney
thoughts
about
the
often
rumored
Villains
Theme
Park!
|
Princess Fairytale Hall (September 12,
2013) |
A
few
days
ago
the
walls
came
down
for
the
new
Princess
Fairytale
Hall
which
will
be
opening
up
next
Wednesday
(September
18th).
While
I
couldn't
take
a
look
inside,
the
exterior
gives
us a
glimpse
of
what's
inside!

If
you
take
a
close
look
you
may
notice
little
shields
along
the
border
of
the
exterior.
There
are
eleven
altogether
(one
for
each
princess).
Here
is a
look
at
the
shields:

Ariel,
Pocahontas
and
Belle's
shields
along
with
one
of
the
two
Fastpass+
entrances!

Regular
entrance,
Aurora
and
Cinderella's
shields

Mulan,
Snow
White,
Tiana,
and
Jasmine's
shields

Merida
and
Rapunzel's
shields
with
the
other
Fastpass+
entrance
The
experience
will
give
guests
a
chance
to
meet
either
Cinderella
or
Rapunzel
(each
who
will
be
accompanied
by
another
princess).
The
experience
begins
on
the
18th!
Who
is
excited?

Limited Time Magic: Long Lost Friends
(July 15, 2013) |
Another
Limited
Time
Magic
debuted
at
the
Magic
Kingdom
today!
While
the
majority
of
the
Limited
Time
Magic's
haven't
been
as
great
as I
would
have
hoped
for
them
to
be,
one
that
always
brings
a
smile
to
my
face
is
Long
Lost
Friends
Week!
The
scenario
is
pretty
simple.
Disney
allows
guests
to
participate
in
meet
and
greets
with
characters
that
rarely
make
appearances
anymore!
For
this
week
there
are
four
films
represented:
Robin
Hood
(which
is
making
its
second
Long
Lost
Friends
week
appearance),
Chicken
Little,
Princess
and
the
Frog,
and
Song
of
the
South!
While
the
return
of
Robin
Hood,
the
Sherriff
of
Nottingham,
Friar
Tuck,
and
Prince
John
is
nice,
I
had
already
met
them
earlier
this
year
so I
decided
to
meet
up
with
the
other
three!
Chicken
Little
and
Abby
Mallard
were
great
to
meet!
They
simply
posed
for
pictures,
although
I
did
let
Chicken
Little
know
that
the
sky
was
indeed
falling
which
caused
him
to
look
up
in
fear!

I
then
headed
over
to
the
Princess
and
the
Frog
area
where
Louis
was
doing
meet
and
greets
by
himself.
Slightly
disappointed,
due
to
the
fact
that
I
heard
Facilier
would
be
there
as
well,
I
got
in
line.
Luckily,
Louis
had
to
go
blow
his
horn
and
when
he
returned
ten
minutes
later,
Dr.
Facilier,
aka,
the
Shadow
Man,
was
with
him!
Facilier
told
me
to
stop
by
his
office
for
a
potion.
He
just
wasn't
allowed
to
discuss
it
with
me
with
others
around.

The
final
meet
and
greet,
and
easily
the
best,
was
with
Brer
Fox,
Brer
Bear,
and
Brer
Rabbit!
Brer
Bear
stepped
right
up
and
continuously
shook
my
hand
which
prompted
Brer
Fox
to
grab
my
other
hand
and
start
shaking
it.
Then
Brer
Fox
began
to
shake
Brer
Rabbit's
hand
with
his
other
hand
and
Brer
Rabbit
began
to
shake
Brer
Bear's
other
hand.
After
lining
up
to
get
our
picture
I
asked
if
Brer
Fox
had
been
behaving
himself
to
which
Brer
Rabbit
shook
his
head
no.
To
get
some
pay
back
he
put
Brer
Bear
directly
in
front
of
me
in
the
picture
(as
seen
below).
Luckily,
Brer
Rabbit
began
to
jump
around
in
front
of
Brer
Bear
until
he
was
distracted
and
looking
down
Main
Street.



Overall,
I
love
when
forgotten
characters
come
back
for
meet
and
greets!
It
gives
guests
a
unique
chance
to
remember
some
of
their
forgotten
favorites.
Plus,
the
fact
that
each
character
comes
with
a
unique
autograph
card
makes
this
Limited
Time
Magic
one
of
the
best
in
my
opinion!
Now
I've
got
to
head
off
to
Splash
Mountain
to
see
if
my
three
favorites
are
going
to
meet
me
like
they
said!
Have
a
Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah
Day
everyone!

Star Wars Day (May the 4th Be With You)
(May 4, 2013) |
May
4th
has
always
held
a
special
place
in
the
hearts
of
Star
Wars
fans
around
this
planet
for
years.
Due
to
the
date
sounding
much
like
the
famous
phrase,
May
the
Force
be
with
you,
the
date
has
always
been
celebrated
in
fun
and
unique
ways.
This
year,
Disney
decided
to
celebrate
this
unofficial
holiday
with
a
one
day
Limited
Time
Magic
event
that
would
even
make
Jabba
the
Hutt
excited.
Today
I
ventured
over
to
Hollywood
Studios
with
hopes
of
the
fun
surrounding
me
and
was
severely
disappointed
when
I
first
arrived
to
find
out
that
Star
Tours
hadn't
been
working
all
day
long
and
the
cast
members
had
no
idea
when
the
problem
would
be
fixed.
Luckily,
there
was
more
to
the
day
than
just
Star
Tours.
New
decorations
adorned
the
Star
Tours
area
for
today
only:

While
walking
around
more
and
more
Star
Wars
characters
began
to
walk
around
the
area
making
it
almost
feel
like
we
were
headed
to
Mos
Eisley
for
a
drink
at
the
cantina:

For
past
Limited
Time
Magic
events,
guests
had
the
chance
to
meet
different
Disney
characters.
Due
to
the
popularity
of
these
exclusive
meet
and
greets,
autographs
were
strictly
forbidden,
but
autograph
cards
were
handed
out.
Today
was
no
exception
for
guests
that
wanted
to
meet
Jedi
Mickey,
Princess
Leia
Minnie,
Stormtrooper
Donald,
or
Darth
Goofy:


Eventually
Star
Tours
reopened.
One
of
the
main
draws
for
this
event
was
the
fact
that
throughout
the
day
random
characters
from
the
Star
Wars
universe
would
ride
Star
Tours.
One
of
the
ultimate
goals
I've
had
in
my
Disney
life
is
to
ride
an
attraction
with
a
Disney
character.
Today,
that
dream
finally
came
true.
While
going
through
the
Fastpass
line
I
noticed
some
Jawas
ahead
of
us
and
realized
we
had
a
good
chance
of
being
one
of
the
lucky
few
to
be
onboard
with
Star
Wars
characters.
And
sure
enough,
the
one
Jawa
boarded
in
row
one,
while
another
went
in
row
two,
with
me
sitting
in
row
three.


To
say
it
was
unbelievably
amazing
would
be
an
understatement.
The
Star
Wars
and
Disney
nerd
in
me
couldn't
keep
still
as
the
Jawas
overreacted
to
everything
on
screen.
When
the
Rebel
Spy
was
shown
onscreen
the
desperately
looked
around
for
them,
when
Yoda
appeared
they
began
to
pump
their
arms
up
in
celebration,
and
whenever
we
went
into
hyperspace
they'd
throw
their
hands
up
in
excitement.
Overall,
it
was
an
amazing
experience.
Afterwards
I
got
my
picture
taken
with
them
and
watched
the
two
slowly
meander
their
way
back
to
Tatooine
Traders.

Highlight
of
my
life!
While
there
was
a
lot
to
do
throughout
the
day,
Star
Wars
day
didn't
end
there.
The
day
concluded
with
special
fireworks
over
the
Sorcerer's
Hat.
Here
is a
video
of
the
entire
fireworks
presentation,
which
starts
about
five
minutes
in.
Enjoy!

We
hope
you
can
join
us.
Until
then,
May
the
Fourth
Be
With
You...always.

The Magic of Disney Animations Update
(May 2, 2013) |
Yesterday
while
at
Disney's
Hollywood
Studios
I
made
my
regular
stop
inside
The
Magic
of
Disney
Animation.
The
room
near
the
Drawn
to
the
Magic
show
always
features
artwork
and
models
from
the
newest
Disney
animated
films.
Throughout
the
past
several
months
artwork
depicting
Wreck-It
Ralph
could
be
shown
along
with
descriptions
of
the
characters
and
lands
we
now
all
know
and
love.
Sometime
in
the
past
few
days
the
room
transformed
from
a
Wreck-It
Ralph
theme
to a
Monsters
University
theme!
While
the
room
isn't
as
detailed
with
descriptions
as
it
usually
is
(probably
due
to
the
fact
that
we
already
know
the
characters),
the
artwork
is
there
to
help
us
get
excited
about
the
upcoming
film!
Here
are
pictures
from
the
new
display!
Enjoy!

chance
to
run
over
to
the
new
Tangled
Restrooms
over
in
Fantasyland,
and
all
I
can
say
is
my
mind
was
absolutely
blown
away
by
this
amazingly
detailed
area!
Below
are
pictures
(and
some
descriptions)
of
the
area!
Enjoy!

I

True Love Week (February 14, 2013) |
A
few
weeks
ago
I
discussed
the
special
Limited
Time
Magic
event
known
as
Long
Lost
Friends
Week.
During
this
week
guests
were
given
the
chance
to
meet
characters
that
are
rarely
found
in
the
parks
anymore.
It
was
a
great
event
and
one
that
got
me
excited
for
future
weeks
dealing
with
Meet
and
Greets.

This
week,
in
honor
of
Valentine's
Day,
Disney
is
hosting
True
Love
Week!
While
the
Disney
Princesses
are
regular
meet
and
greet
characters,
the
princes,
for
the
most
part,
are
absent
(even
ones
like
Charming
and
Beast
who
actually
made
their
princesses
the
royalty
they
are
today).
To
make
up
for
that,
and
give
the
princesses
a
chance
to
be
with
their
loved
ones
for
this
special
day,
the
Disney
Princes
are
joining
the
Disney
Princesses
for
this
week
only!
Today
I
woke
up
bright
and
early
and
rushed
on
over
to
Town
Square
for
the
opportunity
to
snap
a
few
shots
with
some
of
these
often
forgotten
heroes.
The
three
couples,
which
were
all
surprisingly
chatty,
were
Cinderella
and
Prince
Charming,
Aurora
and
Phillip,
and
Rapunzel
and
Flynn
Rider
(or
Eugene
as
he
introduced
himself).

After
pointing
out
to
Prince
Charming
that
it
was
good
to
hear
him
speak
more
than
a
few
lines
he
explained
he
was
grateful
for
the
meet
and
greet
so
people
would
know
he
had
a
voice.

Phillip
took
full
advantage
of
the
fact
that
guests
were
actually
meeting
him
for
a
change.
He
was
a
chatterbox
and
his
constant
gabbing
almost
put
Aurora
to
sleep
again!

Rapunzel
and
Flynn
were
a
lot
of
fun,
as
usual.
It
got
to
the
point
where
we
tried
to
find
Paschal
and
Flynn
began
to
shake
the
flowers
shaped
like
a
heart
behind
us.
He
wasn't
there.
In
addition
to
these
three
couples,
guests
could
also
meet
Mary
Poppins
and
Bert
in
Fantasyland.
Also
in
Fantasyland
guests
had
the
opportunity
to
get
a
picture
in
front
of
Cinderella's
pumpkin
coach
as
well!
Both
lines
were
fairly
long
for
both
of
these.
If
you
do
get
a
chance
to
stop
by
before
True
Love
Week
ends,
I
highly
suggest
getting
a
Fastpass
for
the
Princess
Meet
and
Greet
instead
of
waiting
in
the
regular
line
(which
got
up
to
120
minutes
yesterday).
Have
a
Happy
Valentine's
Day
everyone!

Long Lost Friends week (January 27, 2013) |
Late
in
2012
I
was
extremely
excited
about
the
special
theme
for
Disney
parks
in
the
year
2013:
Limited
Time
Magic.
The
concept?
Each
week
a
different
themed
event
will
be
occurring
in
the
Disney
parks
and
it
will
only
last
for
one
week
only.
Sounds
pretty
cool,
right?
Well,
honestly,
the
first
few
weeks
I
was
fairly
disappointed
with
the
themed
weeks.
Celebrating
the
New
Year
every
hour
in
Tomorrowland
was
slightly
disappointing
and
the
Canadian
meet
and
greet
was
good,
but
too
random.
This
past
week
however,
we
got
our
Long
Lost
Friends
week
and
I
have
to
say
I
couldn't
be
happier.
The
concept
of
the
week
was
guests
would
have
the
chance
to
meet
characters
who
are
rarely
in
the
parks
anymore,
if
ever.
While
the
lines
were
insane
later
in
the
day
(when
I
could
typically
go)
I
did
get
a
chance
to
run
over
yesterday
morning
to
meet
the
characters
I
didn't
get
to
meet
earlier
in
the
week.
So
which
characters
were
there?
Take
a
look
below!





The
best
part
about
the
themed
week
was
Disney's
response
to
it.
Due
to
its
popularity
there
will
most
likely
be
at
least
one
more
Long
Lost
Friends
week
at
some
point
during
the
year
and
rumors
have
already
begun
to
be
heard
on
Hunchback
of
Notre
Dame
or
Hercules
characters,
or
even
everyone's
favorite
rabbit,
Oswald!
If
any
of
these
characters
do
show
up,
believe
me,
I'll
be
one
of
the
first
ones
in
line!

Wreck-It Ralph Meet and Greet
(October 29, 2012) |
With
Wreck-It
Ralph
coming
to
theaters
this
weekend,
Ralph
and
Vannelope
have
made
their
way
over
to
The
Magic
of
Disney
Animation
building
at
Disney's
Hollywood
Studios
for
a
new
meet
and
greet
opportunity!
The
line
takes
guests
through
Game
Central
Station.
While
going
through,
guests
can
see
what
the
video
game
characters
can
see
from
their
point
of
view
of
being
inside
the
game!

Entrance
to
the
line

The
dreaded
Cybug!

Fix-It
Felix
Jr.
and
an
out
of
order
game
(from
in
the
game!)

The
update
board
on
past
games
has
some
very
clever
shout
outs!

Moore
is a
nod
to
Rich
Moore,
director
of
Wreck-It
Ralph
while
JL
is a
nod
to
John
Lasseter

Overall,
the
Meet
and
Greet
area
is
very
well
themed
and
the
character
interaction
was
very
well
done!
Make
sure
you
go
meet
these
two
great
characters
on
your
next
visit!

Pete's Silly Sideshow opens
(October 4, 2012) |
Just
two
days
ago
we
reported
additions
to
Storybook
Circus,
but
at
the
time
Pete's
Silly
Sideshow
was
unfortunately
still
closed.
Today
the
new
character
meet
and
greet
area
opened
giving
guests
a
new
opportunity
to
meet
Minnie,
Daisy,
Donald,
and
Goofy
(in
their
alter
ego
forms!)!
In
front
of
the
entrance
you
can
find
Pete
leaning
against
the
Melody
Time
Brass
Horn
Band
machine.
Upon
the
machine
you
can
find
two
references
to
former
Disney
films.
Toot,
Whistle,
Plunk,
and
Boom,
Disney's
1953
short
cartoon
which
also
was
the
first
CinemaScope
short
cartoon
has
a
nod
on
the
top
of
the
machine,
while
the
name
of
the
machine
itself
is a
nice
nod
to
Disney's
1948
animated
feature
film,
Melody
Time!


After
entering
the
tent
you
can
find
signs
for
Minnie
and
Daisy
(if
you
go
through
their
line
on
the
left)
or
Goofy
and
Donald
(line
on
the
right)
describing
what
is
in
store
for
you!

Daisy
and
Minnie

Donaldo
and
Goofini
After
passing
the
signs
you
enter
inside
of
Pete's
mouth
(this
reminds
me
of
the
creepy
clown
slide
at
the
Boardwalk)
where
the
characters
await!

On
the
left
you
will
find
Daisy
and
Minnie!

Madame
Daisy
Fortuna!

Minnie
Magnifique!
On
the
other
side
of
the
line
you
can
meet
up
with
Goofini
and
Donaldo!

The
Great
Goofini!

The
Astounding
Donaldo!
Overall,
the
character
interactions
were
great,
however,
Donald
and
Goofy
really
got
into
their
roles
of
not
being
themselves,
but
Goofini
and
Donaldo
while
Minnie
and
Daisy
mainly
just
gave
hugs
and
kisses
and
posed
for
pictures.
I
spent
at
least
five
minutes
with
Goofy
as
he
showed
me
everything
there.
With
Storybook
Circus
finally
being
complete,
I
can
honestly
say
that
I
love
it!
It
has
become
one
of
my
favorite
sections
of
Magic
Kingdom
with
Dumbo's
lit
up
fountains
to
the
detail
inside
of
the
Big
Top!
There
is
so
much
to
see
and
the
detail
is
incredible!
I
love
it!

New additions to Storybook Circus
(October 2, 2012) |
Storybook
Circus
almost
doubled
in
size
two
days
ago.
Today
was
my
first
chance
to
head
on
over
there
and
see
the
new
additions
to
this
extremely
detailed
area!

This
giant
banner
found
in
the
Fastpass
machine
area
shows
the
final
product
of
Storybook
Circus!
Let's
start
by
taking
a
look
at
the
new
shop,
Big
Top
Souvenirs!

Entrance
from
the
front

Entrance
from
the
side
This
new
shop,
which
has
a
very
similar
feel
to
the
old
Toontown
Hall
of
Fame
tent,
continues
the
circus
theme!
The
center
piece
brings
back
the
popular
short
cartoon
character,
Humphrey
the
Bear
and
his
treat
stand!


The
top
looks
like
an
actual
big
top!

The
different
sections
of
the
store
are
set
up
to
look
like
animal
carts.
My
favorite
is
the
refrigerator
is
the
Penguins
home!

The
floor
is
one
of
the
coolest
parts
of
the
shop!
Extremely
detailed!!!!

The
new
Cast
Member
costumes
for
the
section!
While
the
shop
sells
the
typical
merchandise
of
any
other
Disney
shop,
the
look
and
feel
truly
makes
you
feel
like
you
are
at
the
circus!
Just
outside
of
the
back
door
is
my
favorite
part
of
the
expansion
so
far,
however.
The
Magic
Kingdom
has
never
had
an
area
where
guests
can
just
simply
sit
back
and
relax
at...until
now!

The
area
features
a
pretzel
and
hot
dog
cart

The
outdoor
seating
section
has
tables
meant
to
look
like
trampolines!
The
better
portion
of
the
section
is
actually
located
inside
near
the
new
Fastpass
machines
for
Dumbo
and
The
Barnstormer!

Fastpasses
for
Barnstormer?
YES!
While
the
Fastpass
machines
aren't
anything
to
get
excited
about,
the
chairs
in
the
area
definitely
are!
Found
around
typical
picnic
tables
are
different
benches
and
stools.
Some
of
the
stools
are
actually
"buckets"
flipped
upside
down
with
each
bucket
belonging
to a
different
Disney
character
that
makes
their
home
at
Storybook
Circus!

Al
Gator
(Fantasia),
Donald,
and
Practical
(as
in
Pig)
are
just
three
of
the
characters
with
these
awesome
chairs!
Unfortunately,
Pete's
Silly
Sideshow
isn't
open
yet,
but
according
to
the
Cast
Members,
it
should
be
open
in
the
coming
weeks!
Here
is a
shot
of
the
entrance
for
this
character
meet
and
greet
area!

Agent P! (June 21, 2012) |
Today
I
checked
out
the
new
Perry
the
Platypus
game
in
World
Showcase
after
attempting
to
do
so
the
past
few
days.
Your
secret
agent
mission
starts
at
the
same
starting
point
as
Kim
Possible
used
to.
Our
agent
put
us
under
an
umbrella
while
pointing
out
that
we
were
"under
cover"
and
prepared
us
for
our
mission.
He
asked
for
my
last
name
and
the
rest
of
the
time
my
phone
referred
to
me
as
Agent
D!

I
was
given
my
phone
and
the
mission
was
underway!

My
mission
took
me
to
France
where
Phineas
and
Ferb
just
happened
to
be
on
vacation
as
well!
Unfortunately,
Dr.
Doofinshmirtz
was
also
in
the
area
trying
to
woo
a
lady
who
he
talked
to
on
the
phone.
Much
like
the
television
show,
the
storyline
between
our
battle
against
him
and
Phineas
and
Ferb's
trip
to a
museum
went
hand
in
hand!

Much
like
Kim
Possible,
the
game
was
very
interactive
with
the
surroundings.
A
lot
of
the
old
interactive
sections
were
open
as
well
including
the
old
smell
test
in
France!

While
the
majority
of
the
interactions
are
the
same,
there
was
one
addition
that
was
extremely
cool!
I
give
you,
zip-lining
Perry!

While
most
things
have
been
updated
for
the
new
adventures,
there
was
one
mistake
that
I'm
sure
they
are
still
working
on.
At
the
end
of
the
mission
you
are
instructed
to
put
your
phone
away
and
the
following
picture
shows
up:

As
you
can
see
the
old
KP
(Kim
Possible)
logo
is
there!
Overall,
the
game
was
entertaining,
but
a
lot
more
time
consuming
than
Kim
Possible
was.
It
was
cool
watching
a
brand
new
storyline
for
Phineas
and
Ferb
right
there
on
the
phone,
but
at
the
same
time
the
story
does
take
up a
lot
of
time
at
some
points.
While
it's
great
to
get
a
full
story,
it's
also
too
bad
since
guests
have
to
put
aside
even
more
time
than
usual
for
gameplay.
I do
recommend
checking
it
out.
Like
Kim
Possible,
it
allows
you
to
explore
the
countries
with
a
different
intention!
