It’s that time of year again when I want to do my best Wookie impression. Disney’s Hollywood Studios have announced the preliminary lineup for this years Star Wars Weekends (don’t time fly). Obviously more news will come out closer to the event, but the lineup looks pretty solid to me. Anyhow here goes… The celebrity [...]

Night of Joy kicks off tonight for a two night run of contemporary Christian music at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (DHS). This is the first time the twenty-five year old event has run at the Studios, as previously it has been held at the Magic Kingdom. I don’t think the move has pleased everyone, with Brandon [...]

There has been some progress at Pixar Place, with the main walled off area finally being removed. So we now have a small store selling Toy Story Mania themed merchandise and the Hey-Howdy-Hey Take Away counter-service/outdoor vending location.

Well good old Buzz will now get the opportunity to go “to infinity and beyond” thanks to the guys at NASA and the Space Ranger Education Series thats running as part of the “Toys in Space” education [...]

Disney have launched an official site looking at what will be in-store for wannabee American Idols at the new American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With the tagline of Watch, Vote, Perform Disney are pretty much spelling out what your role will be as a participant of the attraction. Watch Well, you can watch [...]

I know sometimes we can get over-excited by the little things, but this weekend the fastpass machines were opened at Toy Story Mania. Apart from the obvious advantage of being able to get fastpass for the ride, it also means that the completion of the project is coming close with the official launch being at [...]

I’ll admit it, I’m starting this post off from a really biased position. I’m no fan of reality TV shows, and I’m certainly no fan of American Idol. Who actually thinks opening the American Idol attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? The reason I’m dredging up this old news is that the finale of this years [...]
