Tokyo Disney Resort has announced that a 4th Disney Hotel is in development in the Shin-Urayasu area called “Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel”. The decision for a 4th hotel stems from the fact that the 3 existing Disney Hotels operate at 90% occupancy.

This new hotel will have decorations reminiscent of Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea in a new concept. The concept of a “dream” after visiting the parks to continue their in-park experience while at the hotel.

Planned to open in June 2016 in the Shin-Urayasu at the Palm & Fountain Terrace Hotel location. No word on when reservations will start for guests.

Walt Disney Records Set To Release PIXAR’s “Inside Out” Soundtrack

WDWNT on June 5, 2015

inside_out_11_bestmoviewalls_by_bestmoviewalls-d8mea2w

Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out” features an original score that captures the emotional spirit of the story by award-winning composer Michael Giacchino.  The soundtrack will be released by Walt Disney Records on June 16, 2015.

Directed by Academy Award winner Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.”, “Up”) and produced by Jonas Rivera, p.g.a. (“Up”), Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out” opens in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2015.

Giacchino worked with director Pete Docter on “Up” (garnering an Academy Award® for best original score) and also counts Disney•Pixar’s films “Cars 2,” “Ratatouille” and “The Incredibles” among his credits. But, says the composer, “Inside Out” was different. “Pete wanted the music to feel as if it was coming from the inside—from internal thoughts,” says Giacchino. “We were going for something atmospheric. Something that wasn’t traditional film score.”

According to the composer, the goal of the music mirrored the goal of the film. “It had to feel emotional,” says Giacchino. “I wasn’t sure how I wanted it to sound, but I knew how I wanted it to feel. This film is personal.”

The score was recorded with a 70-piece orchestra with an organ and a rhythm section that consisted of guitars and a drummer.

“I had a lot of fun writing the music,” continues Giacchino. “There’s a 1930s jazzy section we wrote for the Forgetters, and we channel classic horror in the Subconscious. The film really goes all over the map musically, but what I love most about it is that we never forgot that it’s an emotional story that’s being told.”

“Inside Out” is preceded by the short “LAVA” from Pixar Animation Studios, director James Ford Murphy and producer Andrea Warren. Inspired by the isolated beauty of tropical islands and the explosive allure of ocean volcanoes, “LAVA” is a musical love story that takes place over millions of years.  The short features the theme performed by Kuana Torres Kahele (Uku & Narrator) and Napua Greig (Lele).  The “Lava” theme will be available at digital retail on June 16, 2015.
