Tomorrowland Movie?!?



Disney will be making a movie called Tomorrowland! It'll roughly be based off of the land (think pirates) but details are quite scarce. It's being directed by Brad Bird (Incredibles, Mission Impossible:Ghost Protical). Sounds interesting!

That's right folks, your favorite Arabian Disney friends will be headed to Broadway next spring! I LOVE the show at Disneyland (which is rumored to be cancelled soon) and I bet this bigger better version will be another Disney Broadway hit!

Fantasyland Expansion

Well, I guess since we have DLand Day coming up I better start posting fun stuff again. As some of you know, their is a building called "Blue Sky Cellar" (not to be confused with Blue Sky Studios, where I work) where new attractions and expansions are displayed. It's an awesome place to visit and it's kinda hidden in California Adventure. I suggest you check out the exhibit if you get a chance.



Anyways, they just reopened and the primary focus is on the new Fantasyland expansion. This addition to the side of Sleeping Beauty's castle will mainly be princess themed. Though I'm not into Princesses or meet-and-greets I do think this new area will be pretty and it will help alleviate some crowds from other crowded areas.

Also, looks like there will finally be a new show back in the theater by ToonTown. It'll be called Mickey and the Magical Map.


I'm just glad that the space will be used for a show again. It's kinda cool to have another attraction revolve around the most iconic Disney character. I LOVE Fantasmic and with all of today's modern technologies I could see this show being quite stunning.

The Fantasyland expansion opens this spring (maybe in time for DLand Day?!?) and Mickey's new show premiers this summer.

Mousehunt Rule Review

It's that time again... Time to take off the gloves and battle for the coveted Mousehunt championship! We've had 2 incredibly close and intense years and so far, Savanna and Marianne are the only two to claim the crown. Who will it be this year? Will Zapperman finally ditch his two-time runner-up status for the trophy? Only time will tell.

Here is a recap of how the game works... 

Every Monday, at exactly 8pm pst an email will be sent out to the group. The email will contain 2 questions. A Mousehunt question and a Bonus question.  

For the Mousehunt question:  
  • 7 points will be awarded for a correct answer 
  • 5 points will be awarded for an incorrect answer 
  • 3 additional points will be awarded IF you are the FIRST to respond with a correct answer

For the Bonus question:
  • 3 points for a correct answer
  • 0 points for a wrong answer

Pop quizes:
     Randomly, at any time, a question/challenge will be sent out. Rules and points vary and will be explained in the pop quiz email. So be ready!

Final Showdown:
     On Disneyland Day, the 3 players with the most points will have the opportunity to compete in some sort of final competition to decide the winner.

Digital Winner:
     Each year we also have a digital winner. This is the person with the most points who does NOT attend Disneyland Day
