Have You Taken a Disney Food Challenge?

By Shendl

I found a list that someone had compiled of things to eat in Walt Disney World and that got me thinking about making my own Challenge for my next trip.  The one I found online was not easily achievable for me and my husband, so I went through all the Goodies that we had yet to try and came up with our own FOOD CHALLENGE!

This is my Challenge for my next trip – I hope we can complete it!

Walt Disney: One Man's Dream at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream

One Man’s Dream is an attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I think it is an under appreciated  tribute to Walt that many people neglect as they go running by to get Toy Story Midway Mania.

This is a history of Walt, with artifacts and displays which take you through the years. There are more photos here.

Walt’s elementary school desk, which he carved his initials on! A reproduction of Walt’s office. Where some of the magic happened.

 There are beautiful scale models here.

Great examples of Disneyana can be found throughout.

At the end of this exhibit is a lovely film. Be prepared to shed a few tears.

NEW! Be part of the magic and Glow with the Show

The magical Mickey Ear Hats will make their debut with Fantasmic! on October 15, a date that also happens to mark the 15th anniversary of the nighttime spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Also, beginning on October 19, “Glow with the Show” Ears will become part of “Wishes” fireworks and the “Celebrate the Magic” nighttime projection show at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Park. And during the holiday season, be sure to wear your Ears for special surprises during The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and performances of “Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season.”

Enjoy the Streetmosphere at Disney's Hollywood Studios

A Little Streetmosphere at Disney’s Hollywood Studios 

By: Nick Maglio, co-author of the Disney Musings Blog

Me, being taken into custody by Officer William Club.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios evokes the Hollywood of yester-years and that never was. It has it’s own cast of characters to help sell the nostalgia. The Citizens of Hollywood are a group of street performers that appear throughout the day, primarily on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards.
They perform largely improvised shows that are sometimes truly inspired. These shows are never the same twice, as they obviously change depending on what character is involved, and, of course, the audience participation.

My wife an I have personally been involved in one such performance!
I was picked out of the gathering crowd, as I am, of course, a “world famous actor” who has agreed to star in the world renowned director Flavio Fellini’s next movie.

 Here I am acting in a scene, with the Hollywood starlet, Victoria Throckmorton. As you can see, I’m channeling my inner William Shatner.

 My leading lady has discovered I have been untrue, and is about to visit retribution upon me.

 But, as I am too big a star to be involved with such a dangerous stunt, the director calls in my double, Hubert Hayseed.

 Hubert takes the wrath for me.

 Up next is our make up kiss scene.

 But I have it in my contract that I will only kiss my true leading lady…

 …my wife, who is called from the sidelines…

… and we kissed. (the director missed the shot!) Here we are, giving a bow to our adoring crowd.

You can often just have a one on one experience with a citizen. Here, I am getting a Lavatory FastPass from aspiring actress, Paige Turner.

 There are many different shows and skits the Citizens perform throughout the day.
This one was early in the morning of our last trip. My wife and I were just finishing up our cupcakes at Starring Rolls, when many of the citizens walked, and rode by.
This is Officer Percival Peabody.

 We followed them over to in front of the Sorcerer’s Hat, and watched the “Roll Call.”

Tricks were performed, and trivia contests were held, with FastPasses given out as prizes. 
Below is Ben Appetit performing a trick, assisted by Paige Turner.

Also on our last trip, we saw the “Funniest Citizen in Hollywood Contest”, and it was great.
The host, Jack Diamond, asks a random guest what they did for a living, and an item they used for their job, and the citizens would then have to tell a joke based on that item, in the form of “99 (insert item here) walk into a bar, and are denied service by the bartender” joke.
The Citizens must come up with a funny one-liner to end the joke.
For instance, someone said they worked with electronics, and the item they used was a DVD.
“99 DVDs walk into a bar, and the bartender says, “We don’t serve your type in here, get out!” and the DVD says “Hey, you’re making me blue-Ray!

“Officer William Club, telling a joke.

 
Evie Starlight, Stone Granite, and Beau Wrangler wait their turns to prove they are the funniest Citizen of Hollywood.

Host Jack Diamond keeps the show rolling.

Bottom line, if you are in the Studios, and you see a Streetmosphere show starting, or just a lone Citizen, stop and take the time to enjoy one of the most unique and funny experiences Walt Disney World has to offer.
