Adventures by Disney® has announced the addition of three new itineraries to its already extensive portfolio of group-guided vacations for 2015! Now available for booking is a 11-night adventure to Ecuador: Amazon and Galapagos Islands and 3-night “long weekend” trips to both New York City and San Francisco.
Star Wars™ Weekends are in full swing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. With just one week behind us, four more weekends of Star Wars™ fun is still to come!
One of our guest’s favorite treats during Star Wars™ Weekends is the Darth Vader cupcake. Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group recently released this fun video depicting what would happen if our favorite Star Wars™ Weekends sweet was consumed by the dark side! Then, take a look behind-the-scenes at the making of the video.
Headed to Star Wars™ Weekends? Make sure you stop by Rosie’s All American Café, Fairfax Fare, Starring Rolls Cafe, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, Pizza Planet, Studio Catering Co. or Darth’s Mall and pick up a Darth Vader Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake while they last for $5.19 or (1) snack credit on the Disney Dining Plans.
Disney Cruise Line will be revisiting popular destinations and home ports for limited-time in Fall of 2015. Special Hawaii cruises, sailings on the West Coast from San Diego, and a brief homecoming in Galveston, Texas will make for a magical season of sailings!
Explore the Hawaiian Islands on one of two special 10-night cruises in September. Experience the famous beaches of Waikiki on Oahu, see the views from high atop the summit of Haleakala Crater on Maui, take in the lush tropical gardens and waterfalls of Kauai and, on Hawaii Island — the Big Island, explore the natural wonders of the world’s most active volcano. These amazing itineraries on the Disney Wonder are sure to be a hit and will likely sell out early!
Disney Cruise Line will return to Galveston for November and December 2015 offering several different itineraries over the holiday season aboard the Disney Wonder.
Disney Cruise Line will make a return to the West Coast by offering six sailings from San Diego aboard the Disney Wonder.
And of course, Disney Cruise Line will continue to sail from Port Canaveral and Miami to the Bahamas and Caribbean in Fall 2015 with a variety of itineraries on the Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, and Disney Magic.

When the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opens to guests, inside you’ll find an innovative, interactive queue to entertain young and old while they wait for the attraction. This queue is so cool – it’s almost an attraction to itself! There are three parts to the interactive queue:
Just as the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Preview event at the Walt Disney World® Resort is beginning, a ride-through video of the attraction has been released.
Buckle up and take a ride on the crown jewel of New Fantasyland™! A warning that even though this video isn’t of the entire attraction, it does contain some “spoilers!”
A couple weeks ago, we brought you a first look at the new audio-animatronics® that will be inside the glittering diamond mines of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Click here for that article). Today, Walt Disney Imagineering released a “behind the mines” video showing how they are bringing the Seven Dwarfs to life. The results are some of the most advanced audio-animatronics® ever created by the team. You’ll be amazed by the level of detail and authenticity in these figures!
