Ice is Nice! 5 Helpful Hints to make the most of a Frozen-filled day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios


1. Enjoy Summer Fun with Olaf 
  • Guests who snag a take-along Olaf at the park entrance and throughout the park can snap photos of themselves with the silly, summer-loving snowman and use the hashtag #OlafSummerFun for a chance to have their photos featured in the evening’s grand finale. Olaf also appears throughout the day on screen at the Sorcerer’s Hat Icon Stage, where he will share updates from his summer adventures.


2. Join in “Frozen” Sing-Along Celebrations
  • Melt away the heat of summer with laughter and singing during "For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration." Guests can make their way to Premiere Theater once the park opens to receive a return-time for one of the fun-filled showings of the sing-along which runs from 12:30 to 7 p.m. daily and features Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and the newly-appointed royal historians of Arendelle. There also is a standby queue line for the sing-along.


3. Don’t Miss the “Big Summer Blowout”
  • Choose from treasures and treats, flurries and ice, or both! Guests visiting Soundstage One have two choices: one for “Frozen” merchandise inside Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post, and one to visit Oaken’s Frozen Funland where guests can ice skate, play in the snow, grab a sweet treat and take photos in front of snowy backdrops. Or, visit both areas, one right after the other.


4. Dance & Dazzle the Night Away
  • Guests can rock out to a medley of “Frozen” hits each evening starting at 5:30 p.m. with a dance party, DJ and live band at the Sorcerer’s Hat Icon Stage. Then, guests can find a prime spot along Hollywood Blvd. to wrap up the evening with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf during a grand finale fireworks display high above the Sorcerer’s Hat, set to the music of the acclaimed hit movie.



5. Frame Up Warm Memories
  • Using new augmented reality technology, guests can take part in “virtual” character experiences, get access to added information in the guide maps and more. Before arriving at the park, guests can download the free mobile app, Aurasma, from the App Store or Android Market to their smartphone or tablet and snap photos at special “Frozen” backdrops throughout the park.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...
