Podcasts about Disneyland Paris

Disney built its reputation on immersive environments, elaborate backstories, and spaces where even the smallest details help tell a story. This week, Lauren and Eric look at the newly remodeled Disney Wonders store at Disneyland Paris and ask whether Disney's push toward modern minimalism is stripping away some of the personality fans expect. From the richly themed Disney Stores of the 1990s to Animal Kingdom Lodge, Cars Land, World Showcase, and Pandora, they explore what makes great theming work and why people notice immediately when it is missing. Plus, they consider whether changing tastes, operating costs, and the next generation of shoppers could eventually push themed retail back in the opposite direction. HIGHLIGHTS • Disneyland Paris replaces a heavily themed 1990s-era Disney Store with the more minimalist Disney Wonders boutique. • Lauren and Eric ask why modern Disney retail spaces increasingly resemble contemporary malls rather than immersive Disney environments. • A look back at the maximalist theming of classic Disney Stores, restaurants, and entertainment destinations from the 1990s. • Animal Kingdom Lodge, Wilderness Lodge, the Polynesian, Port Orleans, and other resorts show how detailed storytelling can transform a space. • Pandora, Cars Land, Liberty Square, World Showcase, and even Universal's Harry Potter lands demonstrate what happens when designers fully commit to a theme.

Join us as Sheila welcomes first-time guest Alex Smith to the show! Alex is married and a dad to three children, ages 13, 11, and 4, and for the past three years has been sharing his love of Disney through his blog, "Second Dad to the Right." Alex shares the story behind the name of his blog and how what started as his own Disney adventure has turned into a family affair. His children have gotten involved too, sharing their ideas and helping with the blog, making the experience even more rewarding as they get to enjoy it together. Disney trips can add up, and Alex's wife, Audrey, found a creative way to help make those visits happen by starting her own online SAT/ACT test prep tutoring classes.

Le Triplex, le podcast de la location courte durée, redevient un vrai triplex : trois voix, trois parcours, et Charlie qui rejoint l'aventure aux côtés de Sammy et d'Anaïs. Plus de 200 000 écoutes, plus de 150 épisodes et un groupe WhatsApp d'environ 550 membres plus tard, on vous raconte qui on est vraiment, d'où l'on vient, et ce qui arrive.Sammy revient sur la genèse du podcast : il s'appelait Esprit BnB, jusqu'au jour où Airbnb a demandé à rencontrer l'équipe pour parler de ce nom. Charlie, le membre le plus actif du groupe WhatsApp, se présente enfin : un CDI dans la banque côté data, trois enfants, et une passion pour l'immobilier depuis ses douze ans. Il raconte Urban Chic, son logement au style street art à Évry, et le Crossover, une sous-location près de Disneyland Paris thématisée en trois univers (Disney, Star Wars, Marvel) avec une borne d'arcade, pour sortir du lot dans une zone très concurrentielle.Anaïs raconte ses débuts en location courte durée en 2016 avec une dépendance au fond de son jardin, puis un cabanon de 18 m² avec jacuzzi qui se loue toute l'année, jusqu'à sa conciergerie ouverte presque par hasard. Son exemple le plus parlant : une villa de luxe en Corse qui générait environ 15 000 € par an en conciergerie, et qui atteint aujourd'hui 90 000 € de chiffre d'affaires. Sammy, lui, raconte son parcours depuis une banlieue d'Angoulême, son premier studio au Futuroscope testé avec une fausse annonce, et pourquoi il conseille de ne pas tout mettre dans sa résidence principale.Vous verrez aussi comment chacun se répartit les rôles (la conciergerie pour Anaïs ; l'investissement, la fiscalité et le financement pour Charlie ; le marketing, l'IA et les partenaires pour Sammy), pourquoi le réseau est le nerf de la guerre en location meublée de tourisme, et un premier aperçu de la communauté privée du Triplex, avec des ateliers, des lives et des partenaires privilégiés. Un épisode pour faire connaissance, que vous soyez hôte, sous-locataire, investisseur ou conciergerie.

Episode 41: Voices of the Mansion with Andy Mack Welcome, foolish mortals, to another episode of The Swinging Wake Podcast! This week, Alex and Kris are joined once again by friend, former Disney Cast Member, and voice actor Andy Mack for a journey into the voices that bring Disney's Haunted Mansion—and its happy haunts—to life. Before stepping into the Mansion, Alex and Kris catch up on some spooky Disney news, including after-dark tours of Walt Disney's former Los Feliz home, new Halloween character bag charms at Disneyland, the Haunted Mansion x Stoney Clover Lane collection, Flotsam and Jetsam shoulder plushes from Tokyo Disney Resort, and the Haunted Mansion-inspired Halloween decorations appearing around the Disneyland Hotel. Then it's time to lower the safety bar and climb aboard our Doom Buggies as we explore some of the most iconic voices in Haunted Mansion history. In This Episode

Send us Fan MailIf you could erase every Disney theme park and keep just one, what would it look like? We take on the “Disney Super Park” challenge and draft a single, fully themed park made from the best lands, attractions, restaurants, and shows across Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disney. We fuel the planning session with a Pretty Boy cocktail (tequila, raspberry puree, lemon, a little pineapple) and then immediately start making ruthless cuts. We get specific about what makes a park feel like Disney: a Main Street arrival you actually want to linger in, a railroad that ties the whole place together, a castle hub that helps you navigate, and lands that have a coherent aesthetic instead of a random pile of headliners. From there, we draft our way through Toontown, Adventure Isle, Tomorrowland and Discoveryland, Mystic Point, Pixar-focused areas, and fantasy-heavy zones with trackless dark rides, coasters, and shows. Along the way, we argue over “best version” decisions like which Pirates, which Big Thunder, and which queues are worth protecting. The bigger question keeps popping up: do you build for nostalgia, or do you build the best possible guest experience for first-timers? We land on some spicy takes (yes, Tomorrowland is still a problem) and we leave out more iconic Disney attractions than we expected. Subscribe, share this with a Disney parks friend, and leave a review if you want more drafts like this. What three experiences would be non-negotiable in your Super Park?

Content warning: cancer, death, end-of-life care, child bereavement and serious illness.Twenty-four years ago, Sharon Rosenbloom's husband Simon died from cancer, leaving her with two young children and a life she had never imagined having to live without him.Today, Sharon is a bereavement therapist, coach and author of Widowed With Kids. But before we get to everything she has learned since Simon died, we go right back to the beginning.Sharon and Simon met on a blind date she nearly didn't go on. She spilled his Diet Coke all over him, somehow didn't put him off, and he went on to drive from Surrey to North London night after night just to see her.Both had already survived major health scares before they met. Simon had undergone major surgery following pancreatic cancer, while Sharon survived a brain tumour at just 26 after initially being sent home with what doctors thought was a virus.Together they built a family and had Sophie and Oliver.Then Simon became ill again.Secondary cancer was discovered, followed by chemotherapy, a precious family trip to Disneyland Paris, sepsis, a rapid deterioration and hospice care at the end.And then Sharon had to work out how to raise two grieving children while grieving herself.Sophie was seven. Oliver was five and had complex additional needs, meaning his understanding of his dad's death unfolded very differently. Every day he would ask, “When's Daddy coming ding dong?”, waiting for Simon to come home.We talk about children grieving in completely different ways, the advice Sharon was given not to cry in front of them and why she now believes the opposite. We also discuss children and funerals, solo parenting, family support and the sheer practical weight of becoming the only adult responsible for everything.Simon's funeral took place on Father's Day. Afterwards, Sophie would give Sharon cards telling her:“You're my mum and my dad.”And Sharon says that is exactly what she became.What makes this conversation particularly special is the length of the view. Twenty-four years later, Sharon can tell us what happened next.There were relationships, mistakes, difficult lessons, training in counselling and coaching, writing Widowed With Kids, supporting other bereaved people and eventually learning how to be genuinely happy in her own company.This is an episode about raising grieving children, becoming mum and dad, surviving the years that follow and discovering that while widowhood may stay with you, life keeps growing around it.Take care of yourselves, and each other.

This week, Curtis welcomes Lisa to the podcast for the first time!Lisa shares the emotional story of where her love for Disney began, why walking into the Magic Kingdom still reminds her of her dad and mother-in-law, and how her Disney vacations have changed over the years.We also geek out about her trip to Disneyland Paris, including why she thinks Phantom Manor might actually be better than Haunted Mansion, an amazing Big Thunder Mountain, the value of upgrading your resort experience, and the fun of meeting Disney fans from all over the world.Then we get into the heart of this week's show:Where are the best places to slow down at Walt Disney World?We talk about:

Tokyo DisneySea is routinely voted the best theme park in the world — and it's not even the most iconic Disney park internationally. This week, Ryan and Julie continue their international Disney series with Tokyo and Paris, two parks that couldn't be more different from each other.Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea Tokyo Disneyland was Disney's first international park, and it shows — hub-and-spoke layout, familiar lands, even upgraded versions of classics like Winnie the Pooh (the first trackless ride in any Disney park) and Beauty and the Beast. But the real draw is Tokyo DisneySea: a separate, water-themed park with lands found nowhere else on earth, including the flagship Journey to the Center of the Earth and a Tower of Terror with an entirely different storyline. Expect at least three park days, incredible food, and a serious crowd-planning strategy — skip weekends entirely.Disneyland Paris Built in 1992 on a notoriously tight budget, Disneyland Paris has since grown into two parks: Disneyland Paris (with a pink castle hiding a walk-through dragon's lair) and the newly opened Disney Adventure World, home to Avengers Campus, the World of Frozen, and Pixar-themed lands. It's also the most accessible international park from the US — and pairs easily with a London or Paris city stay.Where in the World? This week's spotlight: a family heading to Universal Orlando and Discovery Cove this September, timed around a son's sixth birthday so he can swim with dolphins the day after he turns six.Next week: tips and tricks for your next road trip.

In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Chris Cochrane opens the show and explains why this episode breaks the usual format. Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18. Chris signs off with the usual mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com.

878 · D23 Disney Parks Announcements: Sightlines Into Yesterday, Tomorrow, and FantasyThe loudest cheers at D23 weren't necessarily for what Disney was building next. They were for what Disney was willing to bring back, repair, and finally acknowledge.In a presentation built on a little faith, trust, and pixie dust, Disney asked fans to believe in an ambitious future, but this time it also showed its work. Models, progress, priorities, restorations, and even the things Disney chose to address directly revealed a much bigger story than any single attraction announcement.In WDW Radio # 878, we look at the D23 2026 Disney Parks announcements through a series of "sightlines" that connect Villains Land, Piston Peak National Park, Dreamfinder, the Expedition Everest Yeti, Spaceship Earth, Tomorrowland, Monstropolis, Tropical Americas, Disney Cruise Line, and much more. And the sightlines stretch well beyond the U.S., from Disneyland Paris and the return of its Jules Verne-inspired Space Mountain to new Tomorrowland, Avengers, and Spider-Man experiences coming to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.When you step back, it starts to look like a very Disney story of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy. Yesterday is being honored through attractions, characters, and experiences fans refused to let go of. Tomorrow is taking shape through ambitious new lands, technologies, attractions, and global expansion. And fantasy is where Disney is creating entirely new places and stories for us to step inside.We also explore what changed the perspective on some of these projects, why "no height requirement" may be one of the most important phrases of the night, why the sequence of these projects may matter as much as the projects themselves, and what Disney did not announce... and why.This isn't simply a recap of D23 2026. It's a closer look at what Disney is building, what it is preserving, what it is asking us to trust, and what all of it may mean for the way we experience the Disney Parks around the world in the years ahead.

"I want to see Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Prague in 10 days" is one of the most common calls a travel advisor gets — and one of the fastest ways to turn a dream trip into an exhausting one. This week, Ryan and Julie break down which European countries actually pair well together, and why the right combination matters more than the longest list.Why Pairing Matters Not every combination works. Mismatched destinations mean long travel times, rushed days, and a trip that feels like checking boxes instead of experiencing a place. The fix: geographic proximity, at least 2–3 nights per stop, and countries that complement each other in pace and culture.Four Pairings That WorkFrance & UK — Paris and London, connected by a 2.5-hour train, pairing romance and art with history and energy.Netherlands & Belgium — Amsterdam and Brussels, a shorter, more underrated combo of canals and world-class art alongside chocolate, waffles, and medieval architecture.Spain & Portugal — Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon on the Iberian Peninsula, ideal for food and culture lovers with 10 days to spend.Italy & Switzerland — A scenic-rail pairing anchored by the Bernina Express through the Alps, ending in Milan's fashion and food scene.How to Choose Yours Trip length, travel style, and who's coming with you all shape the right pairing — Ryan and Julie walk through how to match each to your group.Where in the World? A group of friends is headed to Alaska next summer for an Inside Passage cruise — including Wonder and Beyond Travel's very first client ever, who booked the whole thing off a referral chain that's since grown to multiple staterooms.Next week: Julie continues the Disney castles series with Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.

Two years ago, Disney made us nearly 50 promises at D23 Expo 2024. This year, they have to keep them.So what will Disney actually reveal at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event?I'm going park by park, resort by resort, and all the way around the world with my predictions for the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase. Villains Land. Piston Peak. Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Space Mountain and Tomorrowland. Journey Into Imagination. Spaceship Earth. Monstropolis. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Tropical Americas. Expedition Everest. Avengers Campus. Pandora at Disney California Adventure. Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disneyland, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Disneyland Abu Dhabi and more.I don't think this is another year of dozens of brand new promises. I think this is the year Disney has to show us what is real, what has changed, when we might actually experience it, and what may be quietly slipping away while nobody was looking.Do we finally find out what Villains Land is really going to be called? I have a theory, and it starts with a mountain. Could Figment and Dreamfinder finally return to EPCOT, and what if the answer isn't the one we've all been asking for? Is Tomorrowland quietly undergoing a complete transformation? Does Disney's Animal Kingdom finally get a nighttime spectacular? And what is the one surprise that nobody sees coming?Some of these are possible. Some are wild cards. And some are simply fun to dream about. That is part of what makes D23 so special.

Mitchie Torres is heading back to Camp Rock for another summer of fun, music and romance with chemsex bad boy rock star Shane Grey. But oh no! It turns out that the improbably named owner of Camp Rock, Brown Cesario, has a rival in the form of his former bandmate Axel Turner, who has set up a rival camp across the lake named Camp Star.Obviously unable to compete with Camp Star on any level, things at Camp Rock look bleak. That is until Mitchie challenges Camp Star to a final jam to determine once and for all who is the best rock and roll fantasy camp owned by a 70s rockstar on this particular lake. Can the plucky underdogs of the prohibitively expensive and elitist Camp Rock win the day against the snobs of Camp Star? Did Brown Cesario's old band really used to be called "The Wet Crows"? And isn't it kind of cheating to have the Jonas Brothers on your team?
