Here is the final part of Jose Castillo’s photo update from his latest trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. On his last day, Jose visited two of the WDW parks with plenty to report:
Beginning at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the day
The tree outside the park
Some more decorations
The Tree of Life
Just thought we would take a moment to look at some recent commercials the Walt Disney World Resort has put together for a variety of topics:
Holidays at WDW
A more recent “What Will You Celebrate?” commercial
3-D Theaters on the Disney Cruise Line
While there isn’t a lot news going on at the moment, I thought I would post the new Holidays at the Disneyland Resort commercial, that features snow on Main Street, Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, the Main Street Christmas tree, & It’s a Small World Holiday:
Here are pictures from the second day of Jose Castillo’s trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. On Friday, Jose visited Epcot:
Another day dawns aboard Spaceship Earth…
With rather long lines
Jose got his funny photo posted somewhere in the middle of the ocean
Over at the exit of Test Track, we’ll take another look at the updated Fuel for Thought
According to the OC Register’s Around Disney blog:
Through Dec. 11, you can get a fourth night free when you purchase a three-night Disneyland Resort Good Neighbor Hotel vacation package. Tickets are included with the special vacation package for as low as $235 per person for a family of four.
This is one of the best times of year to go to the park in the experience of Around Disney contributors — the Thanksgiving rush is over after this weekend, the decorations are up and park-goers can avoid the summer crowds.

Our Orlando Reporter Adam Roth (of WDWCelebrations and Dreamfinder Forever) has provided us with a great update of what’s going on at the Downtown Disney District as of late. Here’s what’s new and notable:
Contrary to popular belief, this place still exists
To bring some life to the area, merchandise carts have been strategically placed throughout Pleasure Island
A shuttered Comedy Warehouse
A shuttered BET Soundstage Club
DMC_Man on the WDWNT Community Forums sent us some pictures & a description of the new Muppet scavenger hunt going on at Disney’s California Adventure. Here is his description:
On the website you help Kermit find all the missing Muppets who are scattered around California in 1937 because they were trying out Dr. Honeydew’s time machine. Eventually they get all-together and met up with imagineers to leave clues as to where they are through-out DCA. Then you go and run around DCA, find clues to where they are, text the answers through your phone to Dr. Honeydew and then you’re told to go to the Blue Sky Cellar and say, “I saved History & the Muppets,” show them the text message, and then you get an envelope which essentially says that everyone got back okay, and DCA is going to look very different in 2012. Also in the envelope is concept art with of what DCA will look like after all the new stuff is put in.
Basically it’s a big thing to make you go through DCA and see everything (very obvious from the get-go).
And here are the pictures:
A letter from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
Guests get given this map to take home, which is currently featured in the Blue Sky Cellar.
Our very own Chris Lastrapes just did the online Muppet Scavenger Hunt & after completing it, he was given a pdf to print out & take with him to Disney’s California Adventure. You can find the pdf at this link (and play for yourself at DCA if you have the mind to).
