Today at San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, announced to a packed house of fans that the Guardians of the Galaxy are coming to Disney California Adventure park!
Beginning in summer 2017, the outrageous and irreverent gang will appear in Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – a comically high-energy, rocking new adventure. Guests will be right in the mix with characters from the blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy” films.

Deep inside his fortress-like collection, the mysterious Taneleer Tivan (aka The Collector) is displaying his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy. They are trapped in customized display cases, suspended over a vast abyss. Unbeknownst to their unscrupulous captor, the intrepid Rocket has escaped and is enlisting the Collector’s VIP guests for help. Guests board a gantry lift, which launches them into a chaotic and hilarious adventure as they join Rocket in an attempt to break his fellow Guardians out of captivity.

The new attraction will anchor a broader universe of Super Heroes that will grow over time at Disney California Adventure park. This exciting new presence will transform the structure currently housing The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ (scheduled to close in early 2017) into an epic new adventure, enhancing the breathtaking free fall sensation with all-new visual and audio effects to create a variety of ride experiences. Guests will experience multiple random, unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift will rock to the beat of music inspired by the film’s popular soundtrack.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opens summer 2017 at Disney California Adventure park. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog as we’ll bring you more details as the attraction develops as well as opportunities to celebrate The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ before it closes in early 2017.

I met the man who does the Rod Serling voice last week at the Disneyana fan club, I wonder if they will use Mark Silverman in the new version of this ride.

 







Review on Pixar's Latest movie : Finding Dory and the short film: Piper A Must Sea Movie!! #70

Hello Friends: I thought I would do a Movie review . . .
Yesterday I finally gave in, as I have been debating on going to see Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Finding Dory.
She was so annoying in the first movie Finding Nemo, That I really was not sure that I would want to see a whole movie about Dory.

Well I was wrong, John Lasseter outdid himself on this sequel. This storyline is much better as we find out where Dory grew up.

She even has more friends that you never met in the first movie.

This movie have lovable characters in it, and a few scary ones.

What I liked is that is shows the part where she saw the boat with Nemo in it go speeding by.

 

Marlin and Nemo are in this movie as are most of the characters with their original cast voices, If you watch in the beginning of the movie, you might see #53 Herbie Love Bug  in the movie.

I wont give away too much of the plot for those who haven't seen it yet.

This movie is Better than Finding Nemo and your children will love it too.

I give this movie 7 tentacles up!!!!!!!

Oh and Please stay to the bitter end, There is a surprise that everyone in the theater missed as they all left during the credits.

Cast voices are :Ellen DeGeneres, Ty Burrell, Ed O'Neill, Albert Brooks, Kaitlin Olson, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Idris Elba, Hayden Rolence, Dominic West and William Dafoe. and everyone's favorite John Ratzenberger.

 

 

Pixar's Short: Piper is Unbelievable!!

This short should win and academy Award for realism the sand looks real, The water looks so real even the sea foam and sea weed looks real, you would think you are really at the beach.

I truly had a great time at the movies yesterday, as I am sure you will too

Don't miss this one or you will be sorry.

Do you have a love for Steam Locomotives, as Walt Disney did ?? Have you ever been to the Carolwood Society. #67

 

 

 

Preserving Walt Disney's Railroad Legacy     

Welcome to our website! The Carolwood Society is dedicated to preserving the personal railroad legacy of Walt Disney.
Walt Disney always loved trains and he was one of America's greatest railfans. Through his own initiative and personal financial resources, he was responsible for preserving real steam railroading for generations to enjoy at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and other Disney theme parks around the world.
Walt Disney helped to build, and enjoyed sharing, one of the most intricately detailed miniature live-steam home railroads ever created: the one-eighth scale Carolwood Pacific Railroad, the backyard pike located at his estate in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles.

Walt Disney's Barn
Amidst his railroad, Walt built a barn where he could monitor and control the operation of his railroad. Walt's Barn also served as a workshop and a place for Walt to relax. The Barn is open to the public in Los Angeles' Griffith Park.
The Carolwood Pacific provided the launching point for Walt's vision of a family-oriented themed amusement park that we all now know as Disneyland.
Learn more about Walt’s Barn  

Please visit the link to become a member: http://carolwood.com/

I someday wish to visit this unique real running railroad at Griffith Park ,
I hear They are having a BBQ there tomorrow 7/16/16. Please check the website for more information. As there will be Disney Legend Animators there and other famous people.

I would like to thank Carolwood Society for allowing me to post this on our blog.

Wildlife Wednesday: Disney Cast Members Worldwide Help Native Wildlife in Shanghai. #64

In keeping with Walt Disney’s long tradition of embracing a commitment to conservation, Disney cast members from around the world are using their unique skills to champion wildlife conservation at the Shanghai Disney Resort.

As part of the design of the resort, Walt Disney Imagineering created Wishing Star Park, a 100-acre lake with restored wetlands along the shoreline and more than one and a half miles of pathways through open woodlands and shrublands along the lake’s edge. These habitats are providing homes for native birds and butterflies in an otherwise highly developed landscape.

To study how Wishing Star Park is benefiting wildlife, cast members in Shanghai teamed up with the Conservation Team in Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment department last July by working with bird experts from Shanghai Wildlife Conservation Association to design and implement a monthly bird-monitoring program around the lake. During the past year, 46 species have been found at Wishing Star Park, including species of conservation concern and many migratory species that depend on places like Wishing Star Park for a safe place to rest and refuel on their long-distance journeys. That’s fantastic news because before Wishing Star Park was established, there was little habitat for wildlife in the area!
To further help nurture Shanghai’s birdlife last year, the team added nest boxes to provide birds with a safe place to raise a family. Engineering Services cast members from Disney’s Animal Kingdom crafted three different styles of nest boxes to give birds a few different options. After a trip halfway around the world from Orlando to Shanghai, the houses were installed last December. Cast from Citizenship and Community Relations and Horticulture teams joined forces to attach the 12 nest boxes to trees and ready them for the birds.

It has been an amazing year for wildlife at the Shanghai Disney Resort, and now that the park has opened our guests can enjoy the magic of Wishing Star Park as well! We will check in on the conservation efforts of Wishing Star Park again soon!

I would like to thank Anne Savage, Ph.D., Ph.D., Conservation Director, Disney’s Animals, Science and Environmentfor this post on Disney Parks Blog.

Disneyland Park Guests Get a Peek at New Star Wars-Themed Land. #63

In April, we celebrated the official groundbreaking of Star Wars-themed lands coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, and beginning today, Disneyland park guests can get a glimpse of this exciting and immersive experience. A new image has been unveiled on the fence along Big Thunder Trail in Frontierland – one of the entry points to this never-before-seen planet in the Star Wars galaxy – revealing more about what guests will find in this all-new land.

Nestled between towering spires of rock, this thriving port contains a seemingly familiar architecture of markets, landing zones and buildings. Click here for a larger version of the image above. Look closely and you may find hints of some of the thrilling experiences that are coming – like the Millennium Falcon peeking out of one of the cargo bays, marking the location where guests will get the opportunity to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
The 14-acre land will be the largest-ever single-themed land expansion at Disneyland Resort. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog – we’ll continue to bring you updates as we learn more about this planet, as well as the citizens, aliens and droids who populate it.

( Just a note from me) I am glad to see that the Disneyland Railroad still exists, if you take a closer look at the sketch, you will see a wooden trestle running over the Rivers of America.
