Next Starbucks® Location Set to Open in Disney’s Hollywood Studios®

Back in April of 2012, Disney Parks announced plans for the addition of a Starbucks® location in each of their six U.S. Theme Parks at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida and the Disneyland® Resort in California. Since that announcement, four out of the six domestic parks have opened their Starbucks® locations – Disneyland® Park, Disney California Adventure® Park, Magic Kingdom® Park, and Epcot® – along with locations in each resort’s Downtown Disney® areas.

Next February, a location will open inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios® in Florida. The Trolley Car Café will serve Starbucks’® signature beverages and La Boulange™ pastry items along with various Disney baked goods. Located on the corner of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards in the former LA Prop merchandise location, this will be the perfect stop before hitting your first attraction or for that midday ‘pick me up!’

Adventure is Out There with a Disney Land & Sea Vacation!

By Magic Maker® Melissa Ludwig

Are you ready to experience the ultimate Disney Destination Getaway? Then you are ready for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation! When most people are getting ready to plan a Disney Vacation, they choose one destination, such as Walt Disney World® Resort, or a Disney Cruise Line getaway. Why not combine them for the supreme in relaxation and fun?

Here are some of the options that you could consider for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation:

–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 3, 4 or 5-night Bahamian Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 5-night Western Caribbean Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Disneyland® Resort and a 2 or 3-night Weekend Getaway Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Disneyland® Resort and a 5-night West Coast Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Adventures by Disney® cruise vacation packages, including destinations such as The Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, London, Copenhagen, and Barcelona.

…And more! The possibilities are numerous and there is a Disney Land & Sea Vacation to fit a wide range of budgets.

Last year, my husband and I chose a Disney Land & Sea Vacation for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect selection. I had wanted to go to Walt Disney World® Resort, and he was hoping to try a cruise, as he had never been on one before. So, we hopped on a plane to Orlando, spent two full days at Walt Disney World® Resort, transferred from Orlando to Port Canaveral on a Disney Cruise Line charter bus, and then enjoyed a 3-night Bahamian cruise including port stops at Nassau (home of one of the Atlantis Resorts) and Disney Destination’s own Castaway Cay. We could not have had a better time…we each got what we wanted from our honeymoon, and created countless memories to last a lifetime.

So, if you are struggling to figure out a vacation to suit the whole family, look no further than a Disney Land & Sea Vacation, which will truly offer something for everyone. With pre-and post-cruise add-ons, the options are more flexible than ever, and your Magic Maker® is here for you every step of the way to help make this the vacation of a lifetime.

‘Villains Unleashed’ Hits Disney’s Hollywood Studios® Saturday

This Saturday, August 23, more than 50 Disney Villains will take over the operations of Disney’s Hollywood Studios® for a Villains Unleashed special ticketed event!

We have some additional information for our guests that will be attending the party:

  • Although the party doesn’t start until 8p, tickets become valid starting at 5p for admission. We suggest arriving early and enjoying a few of your favorite attractions before the party begins!
  • On your way into the park, be sure to pick up an event guide. This will give you a listing of all the locations and times for the special activities.
  • The party will kick off at Hades Hangout (Sorcerer Hat stage) at 8p.
  • Villain character greetings will be spread throughout the park. Take note of which Villain the queue is for and any posted appearance times. Not all of the Villains will offer meet and greet opportunities.

Hidden Mickeys

By: Christie Howley, Magic Maker®

If you are taking a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort, you probably expect to see Mickey Mouse and his friends just about everywhere you look. But did you know that Mickey Mouse may be hiding in places you wouldn’t think to look? There’s a phenomenon called “Hidden Mickeys”, and they’re bound to make your trip even more exciting!

What is a Hidden Mickey you ask? Disney Imagineers and most creative artists have put their heads together to sneak partial or full images of Mickey Mouse (and sometimes even other characters) into areas of the Walt Disney World® Resort property that you may not expect to find him, and some may not be so easy to see! The history of Hidden Mickeys (explained by a cast member during a back stage tour) began when Epcot® was in creation in 1981. The Imagineers did not want to display Mickey Mouse in the Epcot®. They believed that he should remain a fixture at the Magic Kingdom® Park, while Epcot® was intended to transport guests into a futuristic world- sans Mickey Mouse. Some cast members felt differently, however, and during the opening of the park, snuck Mickey Mouse’s trademark three-circled head and ears into the background of certain attractions and rides. Guests and other cast members noticed, and began to look for them and the movement took off!

Now, Mickey Mouse’s iconic head and ears are not the only Hidden Mickey to be on the lookout for, though they do remain the “Classic” Hidden Mickey. Hidden Mickeys come in all shapes, sizes, characters and forms, some being as difficult to see as the full body Hidden Mickey laying on his side in the clouds, in one of the final scenes in Splash Mountain® Attraction. Or if you happen to stop by the Disney’s Polynesian Resort, head upstairs to Kona Island, coffee shop by day, sushi bar by night. The counter is made up of colored tiles…see if you can find the one shaped like Mickey!

An example of a non-Mickey Mouse Hidden Mickey can be found on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. While in Owl’s house, search for a picture frame of Mr. Toad, who used to have his very own ride in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh’s location many years ago.

There are some Hidden Mickeys that can only be found while waiting on line for the rides, so if you happen to have a FastPass+ you may miss one or two. But don’t worry, there are more Hidden Mickeys buried throughout all 4 parks (and the water parks!), the resorts, and even some restaurants! If you need help finding some, most cast members have a pretty good idea of where you can spot them. But don’t forget that they’re hidden­-intentionally placed Mickeys (such as a cookie shaped like Mickey Mouse in the bakery) do not count. Use your imagination, get the kids to join in, and celebrate that now there’s one more reason to go to Walt Disney World® Resort- to go hunting Hidden Mickeys!

With some fabulous specials available at Walt Disney World® Resort, our Magic Makers® are ready to send you hunting!
