In Orlando alone, 4 of a area’s large parks — Disney, Universal, Legoland and SeaWorld — have opened, or are about to open, new attractions.

And a renouned Dumbo captivate is now a small reduction crowded, since Disney built a second, matching ride.

The new spaces are built on what was once a site of a 20,000 Leagues Under a Sea experience, and a enlargement doubles a distance of a strange Fantasyland.

George Kalogridis, boss of a Walt Disney World Resort, pronounced that if he were bringing his family to a park on a summer day, he would start with a Enchanted Tales with Belle experience, afterwards check out a new Doc McStuffins shred during Disney Junior-Live on Stage during Hollywood Studios.

Hollywood Studios is also a place to find costumed characters from a Disney-Pixar film Monsters University.

“Something new in any park creates it easy to prove everybody in a family,” he said.

Over during Universal Orlando, a 3-D thesis park float formed on a Transformers fondle and film code will open Jun 20; a identical float is already open during Universal’s parks in California and Singapore.

The park describes a float as an interactive, “larger than life battle” between a Autobots and Decepticons. It uses moody simulator technology, along with wind, feverishness and fume to make a riders feel enthralled in a experience.

At SeaWorld Orlando, a Antarctica — Empire of a Penguin captivate non-stop on May 24.

With a ride, restaurants and a penguin habitat, it’s a largest enlargement in a park’s history.

The float takes visitors by a queue, themed around a illusory penguin named Puck. As visitors make their approach by a reserve and ride, a heat keeps dropping — until visitors are in 30-degree temperatures.

The float ends during a penguin habitat, where some-more than 250 birds live. Visitors can watch a birds merriment on seaside or underwater.

Park executive pronounced that in doing investigate for a new attraction, penguins are a large pull during parks.

“As we grown this attraction, we found that adults like penguins only as many as kids, and we’ve seen adults act only like kids when they’re around them,” pronounced Terry Prather, a clamp boss of park operations during SeaWorld Orlando.

Busch Gardens in Tampa has dual new offerings: a Madagascar Live uncover and 3 just-born singular Malayan tiger cubs.

Over during Legoland Florida, a park is expanding to embody a new float and interactive play area formed on a company’s renouned Legends of Chima product line.

The section, that is scheduled to open Jul 3, will embody an interactive H2O float called The Quest for Chi, a Lego-building challenge, a 4-D film and a meet-and-greet with costumed characters.

Legoland also has a Carlsbad, Calif., outpost and in April, non-stop a 250-room Legoland hotel there. Visitors are greeted by a fire-breathing dragon done of 400,000 Lego bricks. Guest bedrooms are flashy in pirate, journey or dominion themes, and many equipment in a bedrooms seem as if they are built of Legos.

Not to be outdone by Florida, California’s thesis parks also have new offerings — mostly in a form of disturb rides.

At Disneyland, a new Fantasy Faire offers all of a Disney Princesses in one place — a intricately minute Royal Hall. Also during Disneyland, “Mickey and a Magical Map” is a new uncover during a Fantasyland Theater this summer.

Great America in Santa Clara will have a Gold Striker, a wooden coaster that soars to 108 feet during 54 mph, opening this summer. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk’s new Undertow drum coaster will reinstate a Hurricane coaster in June; it’s described a spinning roller coaster. At Six Flags Magic Mountain, a Full Throttle is billed as “the world’s tallest straight loop” during 160 feet; that coaster will open after in a summer. Knotts Berry Farm debuts a Coast Rider this summer — with 1,339 feet of track, a association says it “gives guest a feeling of roving a California coast.”

Non-coastal residents also have new offerings during informal parks.

Dollywood in Tennessee has non-stop RiverRush in a Splash Country partial of a park.

In a Nevada desert, a H2O park called Wet ‘n’ Wild has non-stop in Las Vegas. A Wet ‘n’ Wild had been on a Strip for 20 years though close down in 2004. The new, $50 million H2O park non-stop to passholders on Memorial Day weekend and is open to everybody on Jun 3. There are 25 H2O slides.

And in Ohio during Cedar Point, thrill-seekers will be treated to a new, $30 million drum coaster. Called The GateKeeper, a 4,164-foot lane soars over a park’s opening and winds by a park. It’s a longest swift coaster in a world, attention analysts contend — that means that riders lay on possibly side of a track, with zero above their heads or next their feet.

The two-minute, 40-second float facilities rolling flyover maneuvers, 360-degree flips, drops, spirals and a gut-churning 170-foot drop.

Each car has 4 riders and any one can pierce exclusively and lizard by elements,” pronounced Schoolfield. “What’s sparkling about this coaster is that it’s really maneuverable.”

Disney’s Grand Additions

Disney only announced a grandest further to a best moneymaker (err best kept secret) is strictly on sale.

Yes — we am articulate about a newest further to a Disney Vacation Club lineup: The Villas during Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.. We’ve been examination construction for years now.

Like Bay Lake Tower (Contemporary’s DVC wing) a GF Villas were scarcely 3/4 finish before Disney even certified they were building anything during all. Why? The fear is a newest glossy intent will harm sales of a existent properties like Saratoga Springs, Animal Kingdom Lodge, even a stunningly beautiful Aulani in Hawaii.

Speaking of Aulani it might be moving a NEXT DVC skill — though some-more on that soon.

But behind to a Grand Floridian — here is your initial demeanour inside what a villas will demeanour like. Starting with a Living room.
 

Moving to a eat-in kitchen.

And a bedroom.

Those images come from a new video debate Disney expelled to announce a units are going on sale.  You can watch it below.

 
So — how does a Grand further smoke-stack adult price-wise?? No warn it appears to be a most-expensive Disney time-share yet. The further is going adult during what Disney considers a flagship resort, after all.
 I’m a journalist, not a math man — so we incited to a experts during DVCNews.com

They write: “Nightly indicate costs during a Grand Floridian run 30-40% aloft than allied views during Bay Lake Tower. In fact, a cost for Grand Floridian Lake View bedrooms are constantly aloft than even a Magic Kingdom thesis park perspective during Bay Lake Tower.  

You can learn a lot some-more about a money-side of a DVC review at their web site.

The Grand Opening of a Grand Villas is approaching to be in Oct 2013.

If we REALLY wish to splurge — we can indeed live in a magic. About a week ago, Disney announced it is expanding a megamoney Golden Oak Luxury Residential area — between Port Orleans Fort Wilderness.

The newest area there will be named Marceline — after a little Missouri city Walt himself grew adult in. But while Walt’s family was among a lowest of a bad — Homes here will start during $1.7 Million with a smallest of 3,800 block feet. Disney says there are 19 half-acre lots in Marceline. Yes it will be gated. Here’s an instance of a forms of homes authorised in Golden Oak.

Marceline homes will possibly have a H2O perspective or will limit a inlet preserve. All of them are in walking stretch of a blow new bar residence and restaurant.
And Golden Oak will also be home to Central Florida’s initial 4-Seasons Resort.

 
There contingency be a marketplace here. Disney says a initial 4 neighborhoods have all though sole out in about dual years.
You do get some perks  — including concierge services, doorway to thesis park travel and we do get to go to all of a Extra Magic Hours we like.

Here’s a link  to a Golden Oak website if you’d like  to learn more.

More from a bustling Theme World soon.

Until then, Keep your emails, questions, and comments coming!

Here’s a couple to my many new Theme World Blog entries.

See we in a parks!

Lauren Lipton, author of “Adult Entertainment,” spent $3,263 over 6 days staying in 4 hotels and checking out 3 parks during Orlando’s Walt Disney World. Here’s where some of a income went:

To keep travelers entrance notwithstanding a mostly frightful crime news filtering out of a country, Mexico’s tourism attention has forsaken prices in new years.

That slip continued in 2012, when hotel rates fell 2.3%, says Hotels.com. And prices are approaching to stay nearby that low turn this year, says Travelzoo’s Christie McConnell: “They don’t wish to expostulate a marketplace away.”

Some of a best — and safest — deals are in a Riviera Maya, such as a $999 package from debate user Apple Vacations: Get 7 nights during a Grand Palladium Colonial Resort Spa and airfare from Los Angeles during 23% off.

NEXT: Cruises

Some of we might remember a “Walt Disney World Forever” music-on-demand complement that was once accessible to guest visiting Main Street U.S.A.. Visitors were means to select from hundreds of low-pitched marks featured in Disney attractions—current and historical—to emanate tradition compress discs. For a Disney strain geek like me, it was pristine heaven.

advertisement

When this complement was removed, it was transposed with another tradition strain module that done large albums from a storied Disney vaults accessible for a initial time in years. There were dual locations—one on Main Street U.S.A. and one during Once Upon a Toy in a Disney Village Marketplace. A far-reaching operation of offerings enclosed all from “Walt Disney Takes You to Disneyland” to Annette albums, to a soundtrack from a 1980s “Disney Afternoon.” Pure Disney bliss.

One of my favorite albums purchased during Once Upon a Toy was a “Walt Disney World Band.” From a classical 1970s-era trademark to a selected Mickey Mouse to a vacationers’ colorful apparel, this manuscript screams early Walt Disney World.

The music, however, is a really best part. It captures a optimism, a anticipation, and a pristine fun of a Magic Kingdom’s “opening act”; namely, Main Street U.S.A.

“King Mickey” (Mickey Mouse March)

Familiar to each singular guest who enters a park, 1955’s “Mickey Mouse Club March” is presented here in a brief, though unforgettably upbeat, arrangement. Featured on usually about each Walt Disney World strain entertainment given a 1980s, this chronicle sets pulses racing with expectation for a classical Disney adventures nonetheless to be discovered. It is engaging that it is this really chronicle that is still played on Disney buses as they proceed a Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney Melody

One of a really best tracks, a Walt Disney Melody merges several upbeat Disney classics firm to send spirits mountainous and feet tapping. The initial song, “Hi to You” is another favorite Jimmie Dodd strain form a strange Mickey Mouse Club. A crafty overpass leads to another Disney standard: “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” from Song of a South. Always renouned and always recognizable, this Academy Award leader has turn a some-more distinguished partial of a Magic Kingdom knowledge given a attainment of Splash Mountain. Next up: “Whistle While You Work” from a really initial Disney charcterised feature, Snow White and a Seven Dwarfs. Arranger James Christensen creates a miscellany of favorite songs that is usually as noted as a strange versions. Just try to listen to this collection of songs and not smile. It’s impossible.

It’s a Small World

The Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman classical gets a marching rope diagnosis here and a outcome is a memorable, and really brief, interpretation of an captivate favorite. The opposite balance plays good in a marching rope style, and there are copiousness of crafty strain references to a general feel of “It’s a Small World.” Lots of fun.

Who’s Afraid of a Big Bad Wolf?

Reaching distant behind into Disney history, a Walt Disney World Band includes a curtsy to a really initial strike Disney strain from The Three Little Pigs. Clever, funny, and original, it’s a acquire further here that helps remind today’s guest that a brilliance of a Magic Kingdom knowledge owes a good debt to a dexterity and creativity of a really initial era of Disney animators, composers, and Imagineers.

Songs from Winnie a Pooh

At usually underneath 3 minutes, this miscellany clocks in as one of a longer marks on a album. Three Pooh classics—”Winnie a Pooh,” “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers,” and “Hip Hip Pooh-Ray”—are blended in a robust tiny miscellany that takes listeners behind to a Hundred Acre Wood. The estimable participation of A. A. Milne’s dear bear of tiny mind should come as no surprise: this manuscript was accessible in 1971 in a midst of Disney animation’s adaptations of a Pooh stories. These buoyant melodies conjure images of a old-style Pooh himself, bouncing along Main Street, pot of sugar on his head.

The Old Home Guard

From a live-action/animated classical Bedknobs and Broomsticks, this impetus captures a nationalism and wish that swept England during a Second World War. In a film, this strain appears twice: once nearby a opening of a story and afterwards once again during a film’s close. Here, it is played with good fidelity to a film—for a initial notation or so. It segues in to an uncomfortably jazzy interpretation that to my ears, creates it roughly unlistenable. My advice: listen to a initial half and afterwards press fast-forward.

Grim Grinning Ghosts

An all-too-brief though reasonably scary chronicle of a Haunted Mansion favorite. Played in low, teenager keys, this tiny gem captures a dread—and a humor- of one of Walt Disney World’s all-time favorite attractions.

A Marching Band

This series sounds usually like a “We’re a Mouseketeers” series from a strange Mickey Mouse Club, and it really good might be. Here, it’s called “A Marching Band” and is a snappy, upbeat strain guaranteed to set your toes tapping.

Mary Poppins Medley

A honeyed tiny collection of informed tunes from a 1964 classic, indeed formed on a strange Irwin Kostal arrangements done for a film. Much of a strain featured here is from a “Jolly Holiday” method wherein Mary Poppins wins a horserace. It contains all a hallmarks of a Academy Award winning arranger’s style: strange interpretations of balance and interweaving of songs (in this box “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and “A Spoonful of Sugar”). This arrangement captures a caprice of a noted day in a English panorama roving on merry-go-round horses.

America a Beautiful (Circlevision Theme)

An reasonably nationalistic chronicle of a appreciated American strain captures a fad and nostalgia of a Fourth of Jul parade. It’s also good to see a universe “Circlevision” again.

Strike Up a Band

A rousing chronicle of a Gershwin classical starts a collection of American favorites generally suitable for a Main Street U.S.A. parade.

Seventy-Six Trombones

This Meredith Wilson balance from The Music Man also captures that sentimental turn-of-the-century feel for that Main Street U.S.A. is so zodiacally loved. Listening to these customary tunes again, I’m reminded of a optimism, a energy, and a vitality that characterized so most of America’s past and that were embodied in Walt Disney himself.

Old Favorites Melody

This collection is quintessentially Main Street, incorporating many of a themes that still play instrumentally on a Main Street loop. “The Band Played On,” “In a Good Old Summertime,” and “While Strollin’ Through a Park One Day” consolidate a jauntiness and “feel good” atmosphere of a tiny hometown in a summer.

Toot Toot Tootsie

In a suggestion of a good Spike Jones, this crazy series is honestly funny.

With A Flair – with a “Dapper Dans”

Another preference from a 1971 film Bedknobs and Broomsticks, this is a usually outspoken preference on a collection. Sung by Main Street’s Dapper Dan’s, it’s a quick and mad take on a strain creatively sung by Professor Brown in a film. It’s not startling that dual songs from Bedknobs and Broomsticks seem here, as it was Walt Disney Productions’ large film recover for 1971. This chronicle is fun and conjures images of Riverside, Iowa, a tiny city featured in The Music Man. A good block of Disney—and Magic Kingdom—history, recorded here forever.

Football Medley

Reminiscent of pep rallies and homecoming parades, these rousing numbers reconstruct a fad of Friday night football games and bonfires. One of a selections—”You’ve Gotta Be A Football Hero”—was created by Al Sherman, father to Disney composers Richard and Robert Sherman.

“Slidin’ Saints” (When a Saints Go Marching In)

This lane seems rather out of place here: it would be some-more suitable during Disneyland’s New Orleans Square. Nevertheless, it’s a fun, spreading series that facilities some initial category work from a coronet section.

King Cotton – March

No American impetus could be finish though a John Phillip Sousa march, and this one is quite effective in capturing a prolonged mislaid tradition of entertainment in a city block on a Sunday afternoon to a rope concert.

I Got Rhythm

The shutting lane is another George Gershwin favorite. The rope is apparently carrying a lot of fun with this jazzy number, and throws in all though a self-evident kitchen sink. Like what? There are honking horns from Main Street U.S.A. vehicles, a tiny riff on a 1955 “Mickey Mouse March”, and some astonishing vocals from rope members themselves. This series captures that clarity of fun and veteran unrestrained that noted Walt Disney World’s early years. Cast Members—in this box musicians—were selected with pinnacle care, were treated well, and common an tacit clarity of honour of being a partial of a Florida Project. A fun, wise end to this noted collection

Taking a Bit of a Disney Magic Home

While a Wonderland Music Company and a Walt Disney World Forever cd programs are no longer accessible for park guests, there is a bit of good news. This “Walt Disney World Band” cd is accessible for download on iTunes. Take a listen and we am assured that each fan of a Vacation Kingdom of a World will find something to adore about this solution of Walt Disney World’s enchanting music.
