Disney World is overwhelming enough between having to travel there, figure out transportation to the parks, and delegate which rides to go on and attractions to see — having to decide what to eat there just makes things even more stressful.

Disney’s “Descendants” Soundtrack Available On Walt Disney Records July 31

Walt Disney Records will release the soundtrack for Disney’s “Descendants” on Friday, July 31, the day the eagerly-anticipated movie premieres on Disney Channel (8:00 p.m. ET/PT).  The soundtrack pre-order is available now HERE.  It features the single “Believe,” performed and written by 16 year-old recording artist Shawn Mendes (Island Records) and original songs performed by the “Descendants” cast, plus bonus tracks and a score suite.

On Tuesday, June 16, Shawn Mendes’ “Believe” single will be available as a song purchase or free with the purchase of the “Descendants” soundtrack at select digital retailers.  The song will premiere in the U.S. and Canada, Monday, June 15 (4:00 p.m., PT) on Radio Disney.

Disney’s “Descendants” stars Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains.  With a knowing wink at traditional fairy tales, the live-action movie fuses castles with classrooms to create a contemporary, music-driven story about the challenges in living up to parental and peer expectations. The notable cast also includes Mitchell Hope, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Maz Jobrani, Kathy Najimy and the Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth.  Emmy Award-winning Kenny Ortega (“High School Musical”) directs, choreographs and executive-produces Disney’s “Descendants.”

The movie’s soundtrack showcases a broad range of music — from the opening number, a pulsating electronic dance song “Rotten to the Core,” and the percussion dance number “Did I Mention?” written by Grammy® and Emmy® Award winner Adam Schlesinger, to the stirring ballad “If Only” written by Adam Anders (“Glee”) and performed by Dove Cameron, and the finale anthem “Set It Off.”  It also features a hip-hop a capella take on “Be Our Guest” (from Disney’s “Beauty & the Beast”) and the showstopper, a comedic Broadway-esque tune “Evil Like Me” written by Tony® Award nominee Andrew Lippa (Broadway’s “The Addams Family,” “The Wild Party”) and performed by “Descendants” stars Kristin Chenoweth and Dove Cameron.  A bonus track reprises “Rotten to the Core” performed by the movie’s Sofia Carson.

Disney’s “Descendants” marks another connection between Disney and Shawn Mendes who last year was named Radio Disney’s “Next Big Thing” and thrilled audiences with his performances at the 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards and the Radio Disney Family VIP Birthday on Disney Channel.  His debut album, Handwritten (April 2015) entered the Billboard 200 chart at No.1.  This summer, he will perform on select dates of Taylor Swift’s North American stadium concert, The 1989 World Tour.

1. Rotten to the Core Performed by Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Cameron Boyce and Booboo Stewart

Adventures by Disney Introduces New Ways to Experience Europe in 2016

Adventures by Disney, a leader in guided group travel worldwide, continues to add remarkable vacation itineraries to their growing portfolio with the introduction of new European vacation itineraries for 2016, including a newly reimagined England and France vacation, as well as additional departure dates for the recently announced all-new Danube river cruise itineraries.

Starting June 10, 2015, adventure-seeking travelers can book an enhanced England and France itinerary for 2016 that now includes even more immersive activities, such as scone making, a dragon “hunt,” a speedboat journey down the River Thames and more.

This newly reimagined England and France itinerary joins the recently announced lineup of European river cruise vacations planned for 2016, which have proved so successful that additional sail dates have now been added. On these exciting new adventures, travelers will sail down the famed Danube River to experience iconic locations and hidden gems in eight destinations across four countries – Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary.

England and France Adventure

The newly enhanced 8-day, 7-night England and France adventure takes travelers to Paris to soak up art and culture in the City of Light, to London to visit the castles and cathedrals that have borne witness to historical moments both famous and infamous, and into the English countryside to enjoy splendor and serenity. From basking in striking scenery to discovering the remarkable culture of these two famous European countries, guests will be in awe of the beauty and authenticity that England and France have to offer.

Newly reimagined elements of this itinerary include:

  • Tales from a Beefeaterat the Tower of London
  • Speedboat journey down the River Thames
  • All-new immersive experiences in the English Countryside, including a proper high tea, scone making activity, archerylessons, and an interactive hunt for dragons and knights at Windsor Castle

Danube River Cruise Adventure

The new Adventures by Disney 7-night, 8-day Danube River Cruise itineraries, sailing with AmaWaterways, the travel industry’s premier luxury river cruise line, offer guests the chance to discover the heart of Europe in a way that is active, immersive and easy. Now offering five sailings in the summer of 2016, as well as two holiday themed sailings in December 2016, these river cruises allow travelers to explore castle ruins in Slovakia, sip and savor wine from local vineyards in Austria, climb along a treetop path in Germany and more.

These sailings offer maximum port time in each city, arriving at dawn and departing late night. That means more time for travelers to discover the destination through guided activities and individual exploration for a customizable vacation experience.

Adventures by Disney guests will sail aboard the all-new, 170-passenger AmaViola, a river cruise ship being custom built by AmaWaterways with families in mind. New family-friendly features include specific room configurations, including six sets of connecting staterooms, as well as some rooms and suites that accommodate three- and four-person families, and other exquisite details that allow families to feel luxury and comfort while onboard.

Endless shipboard activities await guests of all ages. From wine tastings, dancing, and an onboard fitness center, along with some of the finest cuisine and services, adults will feel the charm and luxury onboard. Exciting and exclusive activities for Junior Adventures include activity nights, karaoke, movies, video games, relay games, life-size chess and more. Teens will also find activities and themed nights created specifically just for them.

Adventures by Disney exclusive sailings will take place July 7-14, July 14-21, July 21-28, July 28 – Aug. 4 and Aug. 4-11, 2016. Highlights of the 8-day/7-night adventures include:
