Celebrate 10 Years of Meet the Robinsons with These Walt Disney Quotes

By D23 Team

Today we are celebrating 10 years of the Disney animated film Meet the Robinsons. We love the movie for its forward-thinking adventures of the young inventor Lewis in the amazing world of the future! While Louis is marveling at the wonders of the future—or as the citizens of the future call it, “Todayland,”—everyone reminds him of one important thing: “Keep moving forward.” This mantra isn’t just good advice, but also a quote from Walt Disney himself!

In the spirit of Meet the Robinsons’ forward-looking ideals, we’ve made some sharables with our favorite Walt quotes that we think capture the spirit of the movie. Download your favorites, and share them with any of your friends who love Meet the Robinsons!

Break-ing News: Wreck-It Ralph 2 Debuts Full Title and New Logo

The Internet is a-buzz with some very exciting news to come out of CinemaCon (the official convention in Las Vegas for the National Association of Theatre Owners) last night: Wreck-It Ralph 2 has an official title, and a brand-new logo!

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 will open in theaters on March 9, 2018, and—as you can take away from the title—the film follows Ralph as he goes on what’s sure to be some amazing adventures in the land of the Internet! We’ve only heard a few other tantalizing snippets of info about the film so far… chiefly, that John C. Reilly is back as the title character, and he’s joined once again by Sarah Silverman as Vanellope Von Schweetz.

Keep your eyes peeled (and your WiFi routers open) for more info as it becomes available.

New Behind-the-Scenes Look at Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

We’re (not-so-)patiently counting down the days ‘til the fifth installment in the Pirates adventure—Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales—sails into our local cineplex, and we were needing a little somethin’ to help tide us over… so color us thrilled about this brand-new, behind-the-scenes look at the film, above.

If you’ve been keeping track (like the good Pirates fans you are!), you know that Oscar® winner Javier Bardem joins the sea-worthy shenanigans as Captain Salazar, a sinister apparition bent on exacting revenge on Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). You’ll hear from Javier in this new video—which also briefly introduces us to actors Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario, who play Henry Turner and Carina Smyth, respectively.

Don your tri-corner hat, gather up some rations, and mark your calendars: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales opens in theaters nationwide on May 26.

Shanghai Disney Resort Launches New Spring-Themed Trains

Spring is bloomin’ all around the world, and our friends at Shanghai Disney Resort are getting into the spirit of things by launching four new spring-themed trains on Metro Line 11, along with the city’s subway operator, Shentong Group.

The trains are customized both inside and out with lovely decorations blending spring seasonal touches with classic Disney elements. Happen to be heading to Shanghai in the next few months? You’re in luck: With the recent launch of the new Shanghai Disneyland Spring Seasonal Pass, Metro passengers will also be able to scan a QR code printed on the interior of the train to purchase the new passes. (So convenient!) The new pass will be valid for multiple entries to the theme park by the same visitors from now through July 16.

Happy spring!

DCA Food & Wine Festival

Fan Favorites from Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

D23’s intrepid reporter Nicole Nalty recently spent the afternoon trying all manner of tasty treats and beverages at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival… it’s a tough job, but someone had to do it! Check out her rundown of delightful dishes (available now through April 16) here.

Autopia

A Fresh New Look for Disneyland Park’s Autopia

It’s a fun new trip for a fan favorite! Our friends over at the Disney Parks Blog recently debuted some new photos of Autopia—the classic Disneyland Park attraction where so many of us got “behind the wheel” for the very first time. Featuring Honda’s amazing ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) humanoid robot and its new friend Bird, Autopia now takes guests on a fabulous “road trip” that begins at a friendly campground.

Back in spring 2016, Autopia got a headstart on its refresh when its cars were repainted in cool Honda colors—and fuel-efficient Honda engines were installed under the hood. Take a spin through Autopia’s new story during your next visit to Disneyland Park!

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jordan Fisher Take to the Streets with “You’re Welcome”

They may be residing in different countries (at least for the next few months), but that didn’t stop a recent collaboration between Oscar® nominee Lin-Manuel Miranda and singer/actor Jordan Fisher—who will soon be co-hosting this year’s Radio Disney Music Awards—for the music video for their Moana end-credits version of “You’re Welcome.”

Lin, who’s currently shooting Mary Poppins Returns in the United Kingdom, walked the streets of London for his portion of this fun new video, while Jordan took to the New York City streets… all before the two actually came together (for realsies) in a recording studio for the video’s big finale.

Check out the video, above. And, “you’re welcome.”

Here’s a look at what happened during this star-studded kickoff event.

D23 Fab Five: Jenna Elfman’s Favorite Disney Movies

By Tim Lammers

Fifteen years after the conclusion of her sitcom Dharma and Greg, comedy great Jenna Elfman will celebrate her return to the ABC Primetime comedy lineup this spring with Imaginary Mary. In the series, Elfman stars as Alice, a successful ad executive whose imaginary childhood friend, Mary (voice of Rachel Dratch), turns up again in her life as she begins a relationship with a divorced father of three.

Imaginary Mary (sneak peek March 29 at 8:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. CT, Tuesdays starting April 4 at 9:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. CT) is a combination of live-action and computer-animation, and Elfman is thrilled that previews have attracted a wide audience.

Imaginary Mary

“My kids love watching the show. I have two boys and they’re super-responsive to Mary,” Elfman says. “Also, women love the show and guys dig it. It’s a family show, but it has romance and has this CGI character. It has all these elements, and they all work together pretty well.”

Elfman’s love of both live-action and animation is reflected in her list of her Fab Five Disney Movies below.

The Incredibles

1. The Incredibles: “I love the spirit of that movie. It’s funny, and I feel that the female characters are strong and I like their family dynamic!”

Toy Story

2. Toy Story and 3. Toy Story 2: “I love everything about Toy Story! I love all the characters. I love the humor. I love the writing. I love the animation. I love the story. Just everything, everything, everything!”

The Jungle Book

4. The Jungle Book (1967): “This is the first movie I ever saw in a theater as a kid! And I remember being emotionally impacted by it and being surprised that a two-dimensional screen impacted me emotionally. I thought it peculiar and magical.”

Mary Poppins

5. Mary Poppins: “What’s not to love about Mary Poppins? The good-natured spirit, the music. This movie always makes me happy!”

Fan Favorites from Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

By Nicole Nalty

Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is in full swing, and there’s a lot to see, do, and, of course, eat! We ate our way through the festival (in every job that must be done, there is an element of fun!) and rounded up some of our favorites for every appetite.

Don’t forget––Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival features more than just marvelous marketplaces! You can experience culinary demonstrations, brewmaster and winemaker’s dinners, hang out with Goofy at Jr. Chef and Chip ‘n’ Dale at Jammin’ Chef, and catch live performances from local bands. The festival continues through April 16!

DCA Food and Wine Festival 2017
Dole® Pineapple-Strawberry Float with Vanilla Ice Cream and Strawberry Pearls (left) and Chicken Teriyaki Slider with Spicy Dole® Pineapple Jam (right)

If you’re looking for something sweet…

LA Style––This marketplace is located in Hollywood Land, near Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! You can find sweet eats like the Chicken Teriyaki Slider with Spicy Dole® Pineapple Jam, and an indulgent (but refreshing) Dole® Pineapple-Strawberry Float with vanilla ice cream and strawberry pearls. Pair these two festival favorites together for a super sweet meal.
Sweet & Sourdough––A piece of Boudin sourdough bread is already a treat, but when combined with milk chocolate in a decadent bread pudding, it’s even sweeter. This was our favorite eat of the festival!
Lemon Grove––A tangy lemonade turns sweet with a cherry twist and cherry pearls.

DCA Food and Wine Festival 2017
Baby Iceberg and Heirloom Tomato Wedge with Peppered Bacon and Blue Cheese Dressing (left) and Smoked Bacon Mac and Cheese with Barbecue-seasoned Crispy Onions (right)

If you’re looking for something hearty…

Bacon Twist––This meaty marketplace is a hearty heaven! Enjoy mac and cheese piled with smoked bacon and barbecue-seasoned onions, and pair it with a baby iceberg and heirloom tomato wedge with peppered bacon and creamy blue cheese dressing. Still hungry? Try the Maple-Bacon whoopie pie.
The Onion Lair––Try the French Onion mac and cheese at The Onion Lair for a hearty vegetarian option. For meat lovers, the Braised wagyu beef falls apart on the fork and is complemented by creamy polenta and haricot verts.
Garlic Kissed––We loved everything at this marketplace highlighting Gilroy Garlic, but the grilled beef tenderloin slider with garlic chimichurri sauce will delight a bigger appetite.

If you’re feeling adventurous…

Garlic Kissed––Savory ice cream may seem out of the ordinary, but this Garlic-Rosemary and Avocado Oil Ice Cream Pop is a must-try for any foodie.

DCA Food and Wine Festival 2017
Warm Olive Focaccia with Olive Oil and Sea Salt (left) and Vanilla Bean Crème Fraîche Panna Cotta with Amarena Cherry Jus and EVOO Madeleine (right)

If you’re looking for a snack…

Nuts about Cheese––Three different cheese and nut dishes are available at this marketplace, but our favorite was the Brie Toast: topped with fig, mint, and roasted almond crumble, it’s a buttery-sweet snack.
Olive Us––There are few things more comforting than a warm piece of good bread, which you can find at the Olive Us marketplace. Baked with California olives, this roll is topped with olive oil and sea salt.

DCA Food and Wine Festival 2017
Verlasso® Sustainable Salmon Tataki with Avocado-wasabi Puree and Furikake Dust (bottom left), Mango Agua Fresca (top left), Cage-free Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs with Farm-raised Smoked Trout and Chives (bottom right), and Passion Fruit Posset and Coconut Chia with Mango Compote and Jelly (top right)

If you love seafood…

Seafood…Sustained––This marketplace has you covered. Try the sustainable salmon tataki and a fresh twist on deviled eggs—filled with cream cheese and topped with smoked trout.
Sweet & Sourdough––Two classics combine when a Bay Shrimp Louie Salad is served in a Mini Boudin boule.
Olive Us––Perfect for warm spring California days, a classic cioppino is served chilled (order the olive focaccia on the side!).

DCA Food and Wine Festival 2017
Roasted Sweet Corn Custard Tart with Honey Tuille and Smoked Chili-infused Chocolate Sauce (left), Jackfruit Carnitas Banh Mi Nachos with Cilantro Crèma and “Pickled” de Gallo (top), Sweet Corn Nuggets with Beef Chili, Spring Onions and Sour Cream (right)

If you’re a vegetarian…

I ♡ Artichokes––Each offering at this marketplace is vegetarian, but our favorite was the grilled and chilled artichoke hearts with a tangy romesco sauce.
Lemon Grove––Roasted cauliflower is served with a Meyer lemon-infused yogurt.
Off the Cob––Meatless nachos are taken to the next level with Jackfruit Banh Mi Nachos––this dish can be made vegan if you omit the sauce!

Celebrate 25 Sparkling Years with Enhanced Attractions at Disneyland Paris

By Jocelyn Buhlman

As part of a long-term renovation project for the 25th anniversary celebration, Disneyland Paris is adding a bit of extra sparkle to some of their classic attractions. “These renovations are a part of our innovation and enrichment program, which are proof of our commitment to always offering innovative experiences to our guests,” explains Catherine Powell, Présidente of Eurodisney S.A.S. What kind of innovative experiences are in store for guests ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary? We have the scoop on what magic awaits you in the City of Light.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Paris

Big Thunder Mountain
Located in the unique, western-gothic inspired land of Big Thunder Mesa, Disneyland Paris’ version of Big Thunder Mountain is inspired by the famous Monument Valley. What enhancements are in store for the wildest ride in the wilderness? Special, high-tech projection technology utilized for Disneyland Paris’ nighttime spectaculars will create an amazing finale that you will never forget. Additionally, video projectors, new lighting, explosion noises, and steam effects are enriching and renewing classic scenes. To add an aura of authenticity to Big Thunder Mountain, cast members restored a significant number of authentic accessories and décors, some of which are unique pieces, shopped in flea markets and ghost towns around the United States!

Peter Pan’s Flight
This classic dark ride is receiving a new dusting of pixie dust to ensure that it sparkles like never before! The most iconic scenes from Peter Pan’s Flight  are enhanced through a 100-percent LED black light. Now, as you fly over London, explore with the Lost Boys, and even soar past Mermaid Lagoon, you will feel even more like you’ve entered the world of your favorite animated classic. All it takes is a little faith, trust, and pixie dust!

it's a small world at Disneyland Paris

it’s a small world
The main anthem of this attraction is performed in eight languages, and now you can hear it through the ride’s brand-new sound system! Costumes have been renovated for all 176 of the dolls, while a new lighting system shines upon the children of the world. The famous façade for it’s a small world has been painted in beautiful, warm colors and its iconic clock tells us the time with an enhanced mechanical system.

Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Paris

Pirates of the Caribbean
Arrr you ready to sail the seas again with these salty old pirates? In the summer of 2017, this classic attraction will reopen—and feature some new (but familiar) faces! Captain Jack Sparrow and other surprise characters will sail into the attraction, along with new lighting effects and remastered audio. And be ready to batten down the hatches when you see the new special effects for the hurricane scenes and the treasure room, creating a totally immersive experience.

Disney’s Newport Bay Club
The largest hotel at Disneyland Paris and the second-largest hotel in all of Europe now shines even brighter, rewarded with a fourth star after months of enhancements! The hotel team meticulously renovated all the hotel had to offer, from room design to guest accessibility services, in order to earn this addition of a fourth star to their hotel rating. The hotel features redesigned interior and exterior areas, a new poolside experience, deliciously reimagined restaurants, and even wonderfully redesigned areas for the service staff! Even when you are away from the thrills of Disneyland Paris, these new enhancements guarantee you are enjoying the best Disneyland Paris has to offer throughout your stay at the resort.
