Play Disney Parks App Debuts at Disney Parks on June 30

The all-new Play Disney Parks mobile app will make its official debut at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort on June 30. The app will be free to download, and guests can pre-order today on the App Store and Google Play to be among the first to have the app automatically downloaded on their device.

As we previously shared, the #PlayDisneyParks app was designed for families and guests to enjoy together. With group play that enables everyone to join in on the fun, guests will turn wait time into play time with all-new interactive experiences and activities created for select attraction queues, including: “Playset Party” at Toy Story Mania! in Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Off to Neverland” at Peter Pan’s Flight at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, “Rocket Race” at Space Mountain at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, and “Andy’s Boardgame Blast!” at the new Slinky Dog Dash coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And there’s even more to explore in the app!

Guests signed into their Disney account can also earn, collect and share uniquely themed achievements, rewarded for playing games, answering trivia, completing challenges and experiencing select attractions across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. And with the Disney trivia feature, there’s sure to be something for everyone to enjoy as guests can discover fun facts about their favorite theme parks.

This first-of-its-kind Disney app will also allow guests to celebrate the songs of Disney in a whole new way. Access Apple Music from within the app to tap into a curated audio experience featuring official playlists inspired by beloved theme park lands, attractions and characters – and some favorite memories too. Apple Music subscribers will even be able to add favorite Disney tracks direct to their Apple Music library allowing them to live and re-live the magic of Disney parks music at home.

And this is just the beginning. The Play Disney Parks app will evolve over time with new experiences and offerings, including the eagerly anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, coming to Disneyland Resort in summer 2019 and Walt Disney World Resort in late fall 2019.

New Sparkly Iridescent Minnie Ears Coming To Disney Parks Are Gorgeous

Disney has been on a streak of releasing trendsetting Minnie ears recently, including Rose Gold, Rainbow, Millennial Pink and even Mickey Ice Cream ears, and now they’ve just revealed their new Iridescent Minnie Ears and they’re totes adorbs.

Fans will be swooning over these unicorn-inspired, Lady Gaga-esque, oh-so sparkly set of ears coming this summer to the Disney Parks! They are cute and fashionable and go with almost any outfit.

A post shared by Disney Style (@disneystyle) on Jun 19, 2018 at 2:00pm PDT

These new ears are cute and fashionable and feature a structured bow at the front that shines with shades of blue, pink, and purple as you move to different angles, and a soft pink velvet lining for comfort.

Disney hasn’t released how much these beauties will cost, but they will probably set you back about $25 as other Minnie ears are usually similarly priced.

New Spooky Experiences Coming to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World

The Mad Tea Party will take you for a colorful ride as new lighting and effects give a new spin on the night. Depending on the color of your costume, you too could transform under the new dancing lights. How cool is that?

On Pirates of the Caribbean, new pirates invade the experience, interacting with sailing guests who will join the search for “Gunpowder Pete.”

On Space Mountain, explorers will hurtle through deep space as a new soundtrack and special effects transform the adventure.

Also new this year, Storybook Circus welcomes the Storybook Circus Disney Junior Jam, a dance party featuring some of your favorite Disney Junior Characters, including Doc McStuffins!

As always, keep your eyes open for dancing ghosts, the Headless Horseman, plus Mickey, Peter Pan and many of your favorite characters in the themed parade. Then turn your eyes to an eerie-lit castle to see the skies above come alive with a magical fireworks extravaganza and a spectacle that definitely goes bump in the night. Plus, the night comes alive with the return of the spellbinding “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular” castle show, where the Sanderson Sisters take “stage fright” to another level.

Get Lost in a Mediterranean Daydream and Choose Your Cruise for 2019

Walt Disney once said: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

In the spirit of that wisdom, take a moment right now…close our eyes…and dream of a magical voyage on the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea…

Et voilà! Now that we’ve dreamed it, we can make it happen!

A Mediterranean cruise vacation really is a dream come true — just ask the lucky guests who are embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure aboard the Disney Magic this summer. For those of us who aren’t cruising the Med this year, now’s the time to get a head start on planning a trip of our own in 2019.

We’ve already taken a closer look at the brand-new, roundtrip voyage from Rome debuting next summer, but the Disney Magic has plenty of amazing Mediterranean sailings to choose from… Which one are you dreaming into reality?

Ultimate Mediterranean Tour from Barcelona
Next year, the Disney Magic will sail a single 10-night voyage from Barcelona to seven remarkable destinations in Italy and France. With everything from breathtaking seaside vistas to unbelievable historic landmarks to mouthwatering authentic cuisines and so much more… let’s just say, you’ll want to free memory space in your phone to make room for the outrageous number of pictures you’re going to take. Instagram feed, level up!

Weeklong Mediterranean Getaways from Barcelona
Two seven-night Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona feature stops in Villefranche, France, and Naples, Civitavecchia and Livorno, Italy, between two days at sea. From these postcard-worthy ports of call, you will explore iconic cities like Monte Carlo, Nice, Florence, Pisa and Rome. A shorter five-night journey transports you to the same ports in France and Italy, plus a day at sea that gives you the chance to enjoy the lively entertainment, themed dining and family activities aboard the Disney Magic. I recommend a few turns on the AquaDunk to kick off the day!

Open-Ended Sailings Between Barcelona and Rome
Can’t decide which homeport you prefer? Check out our two special sailings that start in one country and end in the other. There’s a six-night from Barcelona to Rome, as well as a seven-night from Rome to Barcelona that includes a day ashore in Toulon, France, a new port of call for 2019.

Planning Tip: Both Barcelona and Rome are truly incredible cities that should not be missed in transit! Consider adding a few days before or after your cruise to explore all that your homeport has to offer. If you’re not up for working out the logistics, Adventures by Disney put together stellar three-night packages in both cities that take the hassle out of planning a pre-cruise adventure.

Travel Tips For Families With Little Ones Visiting Walt Disney World Resort

Some of the most common advice that family’s traveling to Walt Disney World are looking for is how to travel with little ones on a Disney vacation. What attractions can they enjoy? How to pack with a toddler in tow? Here are a few of the best tips to help you with your summer travels to Walt Disney World Resort.

A day in the parks can be tiresome for your tiny princess or prince. For this reason purchasing a park hopper pass to make the most of your vacation is very helpful. First you want to get to a park early and get in as much as possible. Then after the little ones need a break there’s nothing like the quiet of your hotel room for a mid-day nap, which lets you visit another park in the evening.

Character meals are always a favorite of little ones! There are so many to choose from, but one guest favorite is Chef Mickey’s. Little ones can interact with Mickey and his pals while enjoying a scrumptious breakfast or dinner. It’s definitely a must-do dining experience for all ages in her opinion.

If you don’t bring your own stroller, then you might want to rent one. By renting from a Walt Disney World theme park, guests do not have to carry and break down their strollers on Walt Disney World Transportation. Renting a stroller is also convenient because you leave it in the park and it doesn’t take up space in her resort room.

Disney World has offered the chance for children to get the ultimate Disney makeover for many years. Whether you want to be a princess or a pirate, the Magic Kingdom has a variety of makeover experiences for those ages 3 to 12. Now the adults get to play.

Walt Disney World salons specialize in making you feel your best during your vacation. Not only are the salons a place for relaxation, but they now offer “Character Couture Packages” where Disney stylists transform your hair, makeup and nails into designs inspired by our classic characters!

Those are just a few of the characters that the salon can transform. Other character styles include princess, villains, fab five, “galactic” styles and “hero/heroine” styles.

The packages are offered in three tiers:

“Incredibles 2” To Premiere On Disney Cruise Line Ships At The Same Time As On Land

Next weekend, the long-awaited sequel to Disney•Pixar’s animated hit “The Incredibles” blasts into theaters, and guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line won’t have to wait until they get home to find out what our favorite family of supers have been up to since we last saw them. “Incredibles 2” will premiere in Disney cruise ship theaters at the same time as on land!

Incredibly guests can can also relive the excitement of the original film from the comfort of their staterooms! “The Incredibles” is available on-demand aboard all Disney Cruise Line ships, along with a massive line-up of Disney animated and live-action films. For guests sailing over the next week, an in-room viewing party complete with milk and cookies from room service is the perfect way to celebrate the return of Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash and Jack Jack.

The littlest sailors can even get in on the action during Jack Jack’s Incredible Diaper Dash, a high-speed crawling race named for the youngest Parr family hero. During the dash, babies don their race numbers and crawl to the finish line of a specially themed 20-foot track, fueled by rousing music from the film and the cheers of an atrium full of spectators. This super fun event is offered year-round, and it’s a blast for guests sailing with and without crawling cruisers of their own.

Will you be catching up with the Incredibles on land or at sea next weekend? Either way, it’s sure to be “totally wicked!”
