News Round Up 2018

[Farro]

Disney always releases a film schedule that’s like 5 years from now but it’s unrelaible because films move around and change so much that far out.

I understand.

At least I have Dumbo to look forward to!

Lots of years ago, I could name all the Princesses... then came Pocahontas, Aladdin, Mermaid, Beast, Brave, Tangled, etc... Of course, my daughter was into the princesses then, and now, years later, her son is more into Paw Patrol (where did I fail????) But, I've totally lost count now of just how many Princesses there are....

There are 11 Official Disney Princesses:
Snow White
Cinderella
Aurora
Ariel
Belle
Jasmine
Pocahontas
Mulan
Tiana
Rapunzel
Merida

I'm pretty sure that's an old list. They've at least added Anna and Elsa.

Have they though? Elsa is technically a Queen not a princess if we go off the movie.

 

[Douglas Dubh]

Or maybe not. I just found a couple of articles that keeps the list to those 11. I thought I remember them adding more but others like Elena of Avatar are only on "extended" lists.

The official Disney Princess thing is a media/toyline more so than anything. Anna and Elsa are part of the Frozen line. They don't need the Disney Princess label to sell.

Not all Disney Princesses are part of the line (like Princess Eilonwy), and they pretty much go by their own marketability rules which is why we have a Pixar Princess part of the Disney Princess toy line.

Elena, Star Butterfly, Sofia, etc. are all Disney Princesses, but they're not a part of the toy line.

So, just got back from Disneyland Paris and noticed a few things:
1) Mickey's Phillarmagic was in 4D with HD 3D and the floor moving. Can't quite remember the floor moving in WDW and kinda turned the Aladdin & Jasmine part into a tame simulator. I wonder if they will make adjustments to WDW's?
2) Autopia is going down for refurb next month at DLP and as I was exiting the attraction, I noticed two Disney Cast Members with paint schemes and making notes about the attraction. Not sure if that is standard practice for refurbs or not?

They only truly count if they’ve had a “coronation” event at the Castle forecourt.

Which I believe the last was Elena of Avalor.

Which I believe the last was Elena of Avalor.

She was introduced as “visiting royalty”. Don’t believe it was a true coronation cermony and I watched the whole dumb thing.

I sure hope that's true. I never understood why they would make a character in a kids cartoon a full-fledged Disney Princess. Those cartoons come and go so frequently, it seemed like they were getting too excited about a hot, new show.

I believe it’s srill popular with the kids.

Re-Imagined World of Disney Officially Opens!

I also saw some comments from Big Fat Panda that he was concerned of it not feeling as Disney or Magical as before best t in person he loves it and that there are a ton of details to find

I'm down here now on vacation. Happened to be in Disney Springs for the store opening. I was skeptical, but it's a nice design in person. It does lose a little of the older unique feel, but the new design feel much less cluttered. Especially when it's crowded, you get a sense of more room to breathe. They've got the bigger neon and other lit signs to give you a sense of where to look for stuff and the t-shirt area is a huge improvement.

Those look amazing and so much easier to build than those darn Metal Earth figures. I see some xmas presents being purchased at WOD next month.
