Kris Allen: The Expeience

“Kris Allen, you’re the newest American Idol. what are you going to do next?” Well the answer was obviously going to Disney World which he did on Friday May 29. Amongst the crowds were Disney Cast Members who won a competition, as well as some dedicated fans who also got to be up close like my family did. The event began with a procession down Hollywood Boulevard and ended up at a stage set up in front of the American Idol Experience, after a short concert where he performed Heartless. After the concert he made a surprise visit to give advice to the contestants in The American Idol Experience, as well as announcing the winner.

Studio 20: Day 2

All over the Walt Disney World resort there were Lights, Cameras, and Action to help celebrate Disney’s Hollywood Studios 20th anniversary. Of course it would not be a major anniversary without WDW Celebrations who celebrated by staging, “Studio 20″.

To honor this milestone Disney celebrated by holding a event at the Premier theater, not to mention selling decorated cupcakes, a beautiful t-shirt as well adding a few special touches like banners at the park entrance and a history exhibit on the park in the One Man’s Dream attraction. While Disney mostly celebrated the anniversary on May 1 WDW Celebrations held their “Studio 20″ event over three days, April 30 through May 2. You can see the first day’s events here.

The last “Studio 20″ event occurred on May 2 and began with a ride on Star Tours followed by a showing of The American Idol Experience. After that was a a group lunch at the Back lot express and then some independent time to see Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream and The Magic of Disney Animation. As the day went on there was a group ride on the Studio Backlot Tour. The day was capped off by a history walk and group ride on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Adventurers Lost in The Studios?

This was a site for sore eyes. Last September, during Closing night, the cast said during the Hoopla! (Hoopla!) that they were going on a year long safari, but apparently that does not mean fans of the closed attraction wont dress up to honor the memory of the Adventurers Club, on the anniversary of it’s grand opening.

05/31/05 – Hollywood!

This is a little late but I have been busy working on photos from my Disney Cruise Line West Bound Repositioning Cruise Vacation. Which also included 3 days at Disneyland, So I have a lot to go through. I put these photos up on smugmug earlier and just got time to get this put together.

On Saturday, May 31 I got a call, my friend had a day off and was going to head off to the parks for one last visit before returning to Paris France, the catch however he was headed over to Titus ville giving me time to get to Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Not my choice really) to enjoy and get photos of what’s new. Of course these photos are over a week old now and some things have changed with Star Wars Weekends starting up last friday. FYI, for Great photos of the events please Visit Mouse Steps where Denise Preskitt has around 200 photos from the Opening of the Event. I hope to visit it soon. Anyway We got photos around Midway Mania, The new/remodeled Premier Theater, as well as around the park stuff.

Toy Story and More!

On Sunday May 9, I was invited to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to ride the newest attraction: “Toy Story Midway Mania!” The attraction is a great piece of technology using 3-D glasses and a innovative technology to to play games you might find on the midway at a old pier along a coast or even in a theme park. Also went on other attractions like Rock N’ Roller Coaster. My friends and I had a fun time going on everything and cannot wait for the attraction to have its grand opening in late May (May 31)
