Get Ready to Dance!
Here's a jazzy video of the new look for the Epcot monorails. See previous post for the concept art.
Fess Parker Remembered
Yesterday, Fess Parker (85), childhood hero to many, passed away. Fess Parker was very well known for his role as Davy Crockett in the Disney television show. He also acted as Daniel Boone for Disney as well.
The LA Times wrote an article about Fess Parker. Read it here.
Today is Foto Friday, and so here is my tribute to Fess Parker.

Childhood Dream Come True
The Disney Parks Blog posted a very cute article I'd like to share with you.
Fifty-five years ago, Rob Fischie was a little boy running through the gates of Disneyland on opening day. Today, Rob is a security guard in the Happiest Place on Earth.

An Update on 'Guilty Pary'
I recently wrote about a video game coming to the Wii system called "Disney's Guilty Party". Kotaku.com, a popular gaming blog, has posted an article about some of the gameplay. Their writers had the opportunity to play a bit of it.
Read the article HERE on Kotaku.com!
One of the particularly interesting parts, to me, was the way you can hide your clues from other players in the room. Obviously you are all looking at the same television when you play. This would make hiding the information the suspects give you difficult. 'Guilty Party' solved this by using a lie detector! When a player finished interrogating a suspect, they hover over the suspect with the lie detector. However, the player can press a button on their Wii-mote while they do this and it will display the opposite result (truth of lies)! Other players in the room who see the result won't know if you pressed the button and therefore cannot be sure that the suspect's information is valid. Clever, isn't it?

The Next D23 Expo
The dates for the next D23 Expo were announced on March 10th on the D23 website!
August 19th-21st 2011
Tickets for the Expo will go on sale one year in advance: August 19, 2010. If you missed it last year (and I very unfortunately did) then make sure you get to go in 2011! The panels and guests were incredible for the first Expo and I only expect it to get better and better!

I've decided to dedicate Fridays to photography, as I have dedicated Saturdays to cartoons. So, here are some fantastic photos from around the web of Disney World, Disneyland, and other Disney related things! Enjoy!

"One Word, 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!'"
The Sherman Brothers were honored in Disneyland yesterday when Mickey Mouse unveiled a window dedicated to them and their work. The window is on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom and reads, "Two Brothers Tunemakers" with their names underneath.
The Sherman Brothers have worked on many Disney classics including "Mary Poppins", "The Jungle Book", "The Aristocats", "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", and "Winnie the Pooh". They are also the creators of the song, "It's a Small World (After All)".

TRON comes to EPCOT
These are the new monorail designs to promote the new TRON: Legacy movie in the Disney Parks, specifically EPCOT. Both feature the light cycles and are pretty slick, if you ask me!
Both images from The Disney Parks Blog.
New Tron Trailer!
I tried uploading this to Blogger from my computer two days ago, but it never finished processing it. So, I had to settle for this version on YouTube.
