NEW CHARACTER GREETING EXPERIENCES AT DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

Beginning this week, guests can join some of their favorite Disney characters as they live out their Hollywood dreams in two new character greeting experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World® Resort.

In Celebrity Spotlight, located in the park’s Echo Lake district, Guests are invited to meet that lovable snowman Olaf, from Disney’s blockbuster film “Frozen.” Olaf is living his dream “In Summer,” chilling on the beach and ready to give warm hugs to all his new friends.

Just around the bend on Commissary Lane, Guests can find “Mickey and Minnie Starring in Red Carpet Dreams.” Here, guests will discover Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, living the dream as A-list Hollywood stars. They can walk the red carpet and step right into a scene with Minnie, where she appears as a Tinsel Town starlet in a ritzy setting straight out of a lush and colorful musical extravaganza. Next, guests can join Mickey in a scene from “Fantasia,” where he’s portraying his iconic role of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Olaf is in the Celebrity Spotlight now, while “Mickey and Minnie Starring in Red Carpet Dreams” makes its debut on Sunday, May 8, 2016.

Photos – Cinderella Fountain at Magic Kingdom – Hidden Surprise

We love all the small details that Disney provides its guests and Cinderella Fountain at the Magic Kingdom is no exception.  Take a look closely at the mural behind the Cinderella statue.  Stand directly in front of it and bend down a bit and you can see the crown appearing to fit nicely on her head.  That attention to detail is one of the thousands of reasons we keep coming back to Walt Disney World year after year.
