Push the talking trash can

Sad news in the Disney world to report. Those of you that know of Push the Talking Trash Can will be sad because they have retired his as on February 9th. Many in the Disney community have been arguing about if it was true or not but a screen shot of a internal Disney message board stated that they aren't having him anymore. As of today (February 10th) Disney said that since contract negotiations are confidential they are willing to admit that they couldn't come to terms and agree on continuing with the guy who made Push. If you don't know who Push is he is a trash can that moves around Tomorrowland at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and he talks with guests, dances with them and just interacts with them.

Facts about Walt

Image
Disney" is actually a changed version of Walt's family's original name. The original name was D'Isigny. It was around the year 1044. Originally from France, Isigny-Sur-Mer was the area that Walt's relatives came from. Can you imagine planning a trip to D'Isignyland? When Walt was younger he was hired to work at the Kansas City Star newspaper. He was later fired from the paper because of lack of creativity. Years later The Disney Company bought ABC which owned The Kansas City Star. How strange that he was fired because he was not creative enough and years later you own them because of your creativness. According to All About Community Colleges, Walt Disney attended Metropolitan Junior College, MO. For other famous people who attended community colleges, see the alumni page. Walt Disney produced a series of cartoons entitled "Alice in Cartoonland", which combined live action and animation. These cartoons were long before ...

Disney raises prices

Well Disney has done it again: They have raised their prices. I was going to be getting the premium season pass this year so that I can go on my birthday (summer baby). but I am not able to nor willing to pay the $649 for the pass. I did the math for two people that want to buy the southern california pass it would be around $700 for them to go. That is way to hard for them to be spending that much money for them to be spending. It is even harder for a family of 5. Yes it is to get money back from the creation of Carsland, Buena Vista Street (when you first enter Disney's California Adventure) and the entire refurb of the Matterhorn in Disneyland. For Southern California Resident: SoCal Resident 2-day 1 park per day Ticket Ages 3 to 9 $99 Ages 10 and up $99 SoCal Resident 2 Day Park Hopper Ticket Ages 3 to 9 $114 Ages 10 and Up $114 Socal Resident 3 Day 1 Park per day Ages 3 to 9 $129 Ages 10 and up $129 SoCal Resident 3 Day Park Hopper Ages 3 to 9 $144 Ages 10 and up $14...

Walt Disney World's "Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!" Street Party

I love high energy parades. I really do. Sadly Disneyland doesn't have any more of the high energy parades. Only Walt Disney World have them. 

A look at Cars Land

Image
I am super excited for Cars Land I can't even explain it. This video that Disney has put together to show the different things that will be in Cars land. I love The Blue Sky Celler because they show the guests all the cool and different things that they will be putting into California Adventure.  Also included in this post is of the neon signs that will light up the night sky when Cars Land.  Please enjoy this short video and leave comments if you would like to know more. 

Star Tours Commercials

Image
When Star Tours 2.0 was going to open I was excited about the changes and all the different destinations that were part of it. But when I saw this commercial I was overjoyed with excitement that I couldn't stand the wait. I was lucky enough to go on Star Tours 2.0 a week before it officially opened and I couldn't believe the changes. Yes I am going to miss Rex but I know he is in a good place in the line as one of the visuals that you can see. So he is still part of the line.  I am glad that the updated Star Tours because it was so outdated like the old video film. Yes it is rather tacky with the 3D because most people can't do 3D but it does add nice effects to the ride. The best part is the line just to see the updates to it. Yes they did change the star crusier so that it doesn't have the meteor dents in it anymore (favorite part) but when you get into the next room they are now doing luggage checks instead of the robot fixing the same robot after all these year...

Goofy's vacation Guide.

Image
Many people think that you can do everything at Disneyland in just a day.  If you go during the super slow season then there might be a chance. When you take a vacation with little ones there is no chance of seeing everything because your kids may be too little to ride some of the big rides. If the kids want to meet the characters there goes most of your day trying to find them and also waiting in those long lines just to get a photo and say hi to them for thirty seconds.  Here is a guide that Goofy is part of to show you how to plan for your vacation to any of the Disney parks.  Enjoy. 

Creating magical memories.

Image
It is people like Barbra to create such magical, long lasting memories to those who have seen her. I found a video that someone had recorded of her during this parade and I fell in love with her. After that I loved watching videos of her and wished that more of the Disney employees had this much joy and energy that they bring.
