Disneyland Wait Times for March 2022

 

[GingerMermaid]

I waded through puddles up past my ankles last night at Epcot.

We left Epcot early after looking at the forecast and while I was expecting rain, I wasn't expecting THAT. We watched from our balcony and boy, it was pouring!

DVC Rebrands Guaranteed Weeks As 'Favorite Weeks'

As sales reopen for the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, DVC looks to draw greater attention to this program calling it the "Favorite Week."

Favorite Week buyers are required to purchase a number of points roughly equal to the 2023 cost of their week plus an additional 10%. For example, a January Lake View Resort Studio at the Grand Floridian which would normally cost 143 points requires a purchase of 168 DVC points as part of a Favorite Week. The Favorite Week is written into the buyer's contract, and the applicable accommodation is booked on their behalf each year before the room is even made available to other resort owners.

Film reviews are starting to come in for Pixar's Turning Red ... it's getting rave reviews as one of Pixar's best in years!

Rotten Tomatoes: Turning Red Reviews

Currently trending at 93% ... Disney really should have released this theatrically

Add us to the list of those wishing it would have gone to theatres. We would have!

Super excited that this movie is based in Toronto!! So often they film here but make it look like they’re elsewhere. This movie is celebrating Toronto and we’re excited!!

First Look: Scenes from ‘The Little Mermaid’ Stage Show Aboard Disney Wish

Throughout the show, playful scenic designs and state-of-the-art video projections will transform the Walt Disney Theatre into a 360-degree undersea environment. During “Kiss the Girl,” Sebastian will lead a chorus of sea life in a refreshed rendition of the melody as the audience is visually transported into the scene. In a new twist exclusive to our show, even though Ariel doesn’t have a voice at this point in the story, her inner voice will play an important and meaningful role in the song.

Disney Enchantment Moves to Odd Showtime Starting May 16

Starting May 16th, Disney Enchantment will be shown at 9:20pm instead of 9pm. The move comes as Magic Kingdom extends its baseline hours from a 9pm close to a 10pm close.

It’s unknown how long Disney Enchantment will be performed at 9:20pm, but it stays at that showtime as far as the calendar goes (currently May 18th).

That starts on my birthday and I will be in Magic Kingdom to celebrate. I am going to think that this was in honour of my birthday
