This Weeks Cartoon!

Just For The 4th Of July: The Hall Of Presidents!

The Hall Of Presidents was a dream of Walt Disney's from the very start of Disneyland but the technology was not advanced enough to pull off yet. Thus, Walt decided to put his Audio-Animatronics to the test by Creating a life like interpratation of his favorite president, Abraham Lincoln. This attraction was called Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.

This attraction premiered along with many others at the 1964 Worlds Fair. It wasn't exactly what Walt wanted but he was happy with it. This attraction was the start to many great rides and attractions in all the Disney parks including Walt's dream, The Hall Of Presidents. Walt's brother Roy decided to put Walts vision in motion when he started plans to build Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The original name was going to be "We The People," but Roy thought "The Hall Of Presidents" would be more suiting. The attraction also features poet, Maya Angelou as narrator. The Hall of presidents is one of the many great American symbols the Walt Disney Company has done over the years and it is clearly one of the best.
I hope you enjoy!

Nightmare Before Christmas Blueray

Nightmare Before Christmas is coming out on Blueray and Special Edition DVD Aug 26th. This release will feature several new bonus features. The best will be a digital ride through Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday. I'm really excited about this. So I've posted both the trailer and a ride through of the actual ride.

The New Pleasure Island

I found these pictures of the shops and restarants.

This is a picture of the new Hanes T-shirt Maker store

This is a new restarant called La Dolbe. It features a lot of South American food.


This is a new restarant called Portobella Yacht Club. It features authentic Italian dinners

This is Fulton Crab House. It has been at Downtown Disney for a while but will be getting a bit of a face lift this spring mostly to the third floor.

This is T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure. It is a new family restarant opening this fall. T-Rex will feature life size animatronic Dinosaurs, water falls, geysers, and a fossil dig site.

This is a balloon from Disney Paris. They are bringing a balloon like it to Downtown Disney to take people 300ft in the air to view Disney World from above.

New Face For Downtown Disney

Disney announced last weekend that they were elimnating all the dance clubs at Downtown Disneys Pleasure Island. They are doing so to make room for more shopping and entertainment. In my opinion this is great because when I go to Disney World I don't go to go clubbing. The only confirmed store that I know of right now is a Hanes Create Your Own T-Shirt store. Which might be cool.
