Disney Tunes Photoshoot

Disney’s animation wouldn’t be the same without the tunes that stay with us long after the credits roll. So it’s no surprise the Disney Tunes had an itch to find some musical inspirations around Walt Disney World and rock out.

80’s Dale hit the drums at Animal Kingdom. He was excited to play along with his Oingo Boingo cassette tape.

Classic Rock Donald blew out his amps at home. So he stopped by D-Street to use theirs and show off his Mick Jagger like moves.

Classical Mickey found the only radio in Walt Disney World that tuned into his kind of music. It was in a pile of props over at Muppet Vision 3D.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

I’m not sure if this House of Blues jukebox still works, but don’t tell Disco Goofy that.

A Stitch in time… we flashback to when this mischievousness alien was part of The Electric Mayhem. Little known fact: The Electric Mayhem began as a punk rock band in 1974. After only a few months, lead singer Stitch left the band to work on some solo projects. In March of 1975, Dr. Teeth and the gang, minus Stitch, got a gig as the house band on The Muppet Show and went on to enormous fame and fortune. Stitch on the other hand, dropped into obscurity until his 2002 film debut in Lilo and Stitch. The film was an instant hit. But after the sequel went direct to DVD, Stitch had to take a job terrorizing guests inside Magic Kingdom’s Tommorowland.

Disney Afternoons Photoshoot

Disney hit the jackpot with the Disney Afternoon series. The developed exciting collectibles that allowed us to bring a little piece of our childhood home. Austin and I took them out of the home and to the parks at Walt Disney World for a few photos.

Bonkers must not be doing his job if Fall Apart Rabbit got into the forest.

Duffy the Disney Bear Photoshoot

I couldn’t wait to take the Duffy Vinylmation over to Epcot to see all the Duffy goodness!

First he wanted to read the story of how he came to be.

He was excited to learn all about the Duffy adventures.

He posed next to his story book with the Epcot ball in the background.

Oh my! This is the Epcot home of Duffy the Disney Bear!

Welcome Duffy indeed!

He couldn’t pass up a photo next to Mickey.

And of course, the big bear himself.

Sailor Duffy loves to travel the globe.

I’m seeing double Duffy!

I’m seeing lots of Duffy!

Duffy overload!

Duffy mixes it up with some pals.

Villains 3 Attempt DHS Takeover

Villains 1 set up a stronghold at the Swiss Family Treehouse, but ultimately could not conquer the Magic Kingdom.Villains 2 harnessed the powers of Epcot to destroy Walt Disney World, but fell short at the poisoned well. I thought they had learned their lesson until a scorching hot summer day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Austin and I were just minding our own business, going on our favorite rides when out of no where the attack began. Villains 3 thought that by capturing the power of the movies and sabotaging the rides, they could rule Walt Disney World.

Judge Frolo wasn’t pleased the US park stole this car stunt show idea from Disneyland Paris. So his devious plan was to take it out, flooding the rest of the park with overflow crowds!
He also decided to conquer New York City while he was here.
The Coachman hijacked some prop cars around the studio to take guests to Pleasure Island (in Downtown Disney) where they were forced to watch the human statue show for hours and hours on end.
Gaston was on his way to take over the Beauty and the Beast theater, but then he caught his reflection in the water fountain and began thinking “wow, you’re ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career.”
Oh how Gideon wanted so much to be a famous actor. And fame would bring him power. And with power he could help the Villains rule WDW! So he planted his memorabilia inside Sid Cahuenga’s where people would see it and think he was famous. Sure, it’s a long term plan, but he’s just not that devious.
The Queen of Hearts became ruler of the movies. Only the best films would now be made or else… You guessed it… Off with their heads!
Chernabog made an appearance in Fantasmic to let loose his evil spirits onto the crowd.
Look who we found hiding in a corner inside the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Ratigan was lurking around, chewing on the elevator cables.
Smee wanted to enlist only the best pirates for his crew. Where better to find pirates than… The American Idol Experience! Why? Everyone knows the best Pirates also love to sing! “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me!”
Tick Tock was lurking in the swamps.
Madame Medusa used this magic film strip to steal the fortunes of all the Disney film characters.
Mortimer Mouse was seen sneaking around the Disney Animation building.
His plan was to have himself drawn into every Mickey Mouse cartoon ever made. Replacing Mickey with himself and therefore changing history and becoming the most powerful cartoon on earth!
The great Disney animators were too smart for this trick, and Mickey remained the #1 mouse. But a pair of Villains have still been unaccounted for…
Si and Am wanted nothing more than to share their golden voices with people world wide. They were spotted sneaking around back stage.
There, they found the secret Cast Members Only recording studio.
The plan was to hypnotize everyone with their spooky chants.
But then they got distracted. A back stage pass!
And a chance meeting with the legend himself. The excitement made the sinister cat duo forget all about their evil plans… for now.

Field Trip! Nerds go to Epcot

It’s Summer vacation for most kids out there, but the Disney Nerds can’t get enough of school. So they have been sent off to summer camp to keep on learning. Last week, they took advantage of the beautiful Florida sunshine with a field trip to Epcot. Math, Science, Art and History are all at your finger tips at this Walt Disney World park.

The class is on their way to the park entrance.

Chip ‘n Dale don’t need too much help in this area, but they picked up some tips on how they can better live with the land.
They took in the sights and sounds of nature.
Donald was amazed at the physics of an up side down waterfall.
Daisy was also drawn to water, but she wanted to learn about The Living Seas.
No goofing around here… lets learn about speed!
Double bonus! Not only is Pluto a Bill Nye fan, but he also loves energy!
This is one thing they do not teach you in class… but Figment is an expert in Imagination.
Stitch isn’t looking to escape… he’s just on a mission to learn more about the galaxy.
Is an Imagineering degree in the works? Mickey discovers that this shape is everywhere in nature. (at least here at Walt Disney World.)
Always excited about culture, Minnie explores the World Showcase.
Only the nerdiest of Nerds would be interested in the survey marker found in the parking lot.
A “What if” experiment went wrong and Nerd Mickey was super sized!
Speaking of experiments… Stitch is in awe of the Mickey Spaceman statue…
…so he poses for one of his own.
Nerd Figment went home with a bunch of cool souvenirs.
