Breaking News: Pirates of the Caribbean 5

It is a sad day when you have to announce that Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is now on a indifinite hold because of script problems. The working title of the movie is going to be Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Dead Men Tell No Tales and was to come out in the Summer of 2015 but now word is out that it won't be until 2016 that we will be getting the movie. Because Lone Ranger didn't do as well as was expected in theaters Disney wanted to keep the cost of Pirates 5 under $200 million which may or may not happen. Another reason is for the fact that no one can agree on the outline and can't get everything together for the script.

Scammers targeting Disney Cast Members.

Even more Disney ticket scam news is going on now. It use to be just regular Disney tickets that you can get at ticket booths but now it is Disney Cast members. These people are approaching the cast members and wanting them to purchase tickets with the discounts. Cast members in Florida have been fired because park officials have found out what they had done. These scamers are not being fair to cast members because they are costing the employees their jobs and livelyhoods. Employees truly love their jobs and don't want to loose their jobs but when they do become friends with people they don't realize that they will potentially loose their jobs. The cast members deserve to keep their jobs and that they do not need to be apart of these horrid scams.

Pirates of the Caribbean history

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me. Very classic line and everyone knows that song but how many people actually know the history of the ride which prompted the idea of the recent Pirates of the Caribbean movies featuring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Pirates is in four different parks: Disneyland in California, Walt Disney World in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Park in Paris. The original ride is at Disneyland in California. Walt sadly passed away right before Pirates opened at Disneyland. Disneyland California: Pirates was to be a walk through wax museum type of a attraction instead of a boat ride. The ride is located right when you first walk into New Orleans Square. The facade is of the antebellum era featuring the 31 star flag (1850's). When you get to the front of the line you will see a sign over head that says Lafitte's landing which was name for the famous pirate Jean Lafitte. He had fought alongside the US Army at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of ...

Facts about Walt

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 buying Lucasfilms

So Disney has bought Lucasfilms for $4 billion in stocks and cash. I was rather excited for the fact that they would actually start making really good movies with the production part of Lucasfilms. But after reading that they will be making Star Wars parts 7, 8, and 9 I am rather disappointed in the fact that they want to dig the Star Wars movies into the ground some more after Lucas doing all his non-sense with the movies. Parts 1, 2, and 3 were not all that great to start with, 4, 5, and 6 had amazing story lines and were rather interesting to watch. What more is there to tell in this saga? I totally understand the buying of Lucasfilms from George Lucas. Don't really think that Disney would want to keep spending their money on licensing on products and having Star Wars weekend in Walt Disney World, Star Tours, and also the little Star Wars show in Disneyland. So it was good that they bought the company but not the greatest idea to make three more Star Wars movies.
