  • Florida Couple’s ‘Disney Park Guide Map’ Inspired Wedding Gains Social Media Attention

    Florida Couple’s ‘Disney Park Guide Map’ Inspired Wedding Gains Social Media Attention

    Central Florida residents and self-proclaimed theme park fanatics, Ben and Kylie Story’s jaw-dropping Disney Parks Maps inspired wedding attire grabbed quite a lot of attention when it hit social media a few weeks ago.

    But let’s back up at bit. Ben and Kylie met a few years ago while working at a local theme park. The couple had their first date at another theme park. And then…

    “Our second date, we visited Hollywood Studios and decided to buy the wedding ears as a laugh,” Ben said. “Little did we know that we’d be using those same hats at our Epcot bachelor/bachelorette party!”

    Ben, who regularly attends the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) convention in Orlando, often creates special themed jackets to wear to the convention to really get into an adventurous spirit. Since theme parks have been – and continue to be – such a big part of their lives, Ben decided to create a very special jacket themed after Disney Park guide maps to wear for their 2018 wedding.

    But creating one inspired by our park maps was no small task – it required three months of searching for the proper material, and then sewing and tailoring before it was finished.

    When Kylie heard about Ben’s plan, she decided to get into the park spirit, too, designing her bridal bouquet out of park maps – and even hiding a few Hidden Mickeys in there.

    “The bouquet just seemed so perfect. It will last a lifetime [and] represents our greatest hobby,” Ben said. “We headed to Disneyland as part of the honeymoon so there were even Disneyland maps in there!”

    The couple says they still get compliments on their wedding attire – especially when Ben wears his jacket out to the park for a day. But they don’t mind. “Life is short, so why not have a little bit of fun and stand out from the crowd!” Ben said. Check out the video below for more on the Story family.

  • Snapchat Brings Augmented Reality Filters To Disney Parks

    Snapchat Brings Augmented Reality Filters To Disney Parks

    Snapchat is partnering with Disney as well as other theme parks as part of a larger effort by Snapchat to bring its reality-altering lenses to theme parks around the world. Snapchat users can now add Disney-themed augmented reality lenses to enhance their Disney vacations.

    If you use Snapchat, then you already love using filters to change your appearance and now at Disneyland, Disney World and other Disney parks around the world, Snapchatters can now turn themselves into Mickey and Minnie Mouse with special filters.

    Though Snapchat made the announcement just last week, the filters have already been live at the parks for several months and are extremely popular.  Even celebrities have been using the filters to enhanced their Disney trips as you can see in Kim Kardashian West’s post below where she applies the app’s Mickey Mouse filter with her son Saint, while riding King Arthur’s Carrousel.

    Once inside Disney Parks, Snapchatters will gain access to the special lenses in the Snapchat filter carousel.

    “We love working with our partners Disney,” said Snap Inc. VP Ben Schwerin, “to create augmented-reality experiences that allow our users to connect with some of their favorite characters in a totally new way.”

    “Our fans are loving the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Snapchat lenses, which is just one of the many ways we are using the growing popularity of mobile technology to take the guest experience to the next level,” added a spokesperson from Disney Parks. “Along with offerings like the all-new Play Disney Parks app, we can’t wait to use this amazing technology to connect Disney Parks guests with even more of their favorite characters and stories.”

This is a tragic accident, and we are providing resources and care for those impacted and working closely with the proper authorities to understand how this happened,” George A.
