    Disneyland Paris Brings Mickey, Marvel and More in 2019

    If you haven’t had an opportunity to visit Disneyland Paris then 2019 is your chance! Disneyland Paris announced this week an incredible series of exclusive new and returning experiences, starting this holiday season into 2019.

    The resort has announced several “mouse”-do events celebrating Mickey’s 90th, including Mickey and his PhilharMagique Orchestra at the Discoveryland Theatre. The Big Cheese also appears in a ghoulish new float, Mickey’s Illusion Manor, during the park’s Halloween parade, and in the new “A Surprise For Mickey!” interactive show at Walt Disney Studios Parks during the Christmas season.

    Over the holidays, get ready to deck the halls for an Enchanted Christmas from November 10th through January 6th. Savor the most wonderful time of the year in Town Square where a giant Christmas tree will stand stately as a daily, gentle snowfall completes the postcard-perfect winter wonderland on Main Street, U.S.A.

    You can bet Mickey and his friends will put on their jolly holiday best to bring glad tidings to each guest, whether they watch Mickey drum in Mickey’s Big Band Christmas or catch everyone’s favorite goofball in Goofy’s Incredible Christmas.

    The new year will ring in the return of the Pirates and Princesses Festival from January 19th through March 17, 2019. In tandem with the swashbuckling and sovereignty, Legends of the Force: A Celebration of Star Wars will make the jump to lightspeed from January 12th through March 17th. Have you ever wanted to hug Chewbacca in person? This year you’ll be able to fulfill that dream and more whether you pledge allegiance to the Light Side or Dark Side of the Force.

    Avengers, assemble! The Marvel Super Heroes will once again protect and take over Walt Disney Studios Park in 2019, and this time a new hero will join them. Can you guess who? If you answered, “I am Groot,” you’re correct! Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America and more of your favorite Avengers will also appear in thrilling shows and experiences.

    In addition to the return of seasonal favorites, the new Festival of the Lion King and Jungle will go wild from July through September 2019. Immerse yourself in the circle of life and the bear necessities for a vibrant, exotic journey featuring Simba, Timon, Pumbaa and Baloo.

    Another year memories await at Disneyland Paris, and all that’s missing is you! Allez-y!

    It’s never hard to find a reason to go to Walt Disney World and in 2019 there will be more to see, do, taste and experience in the parks next year than ever before!

    Here’s a list of 19 new and limited-time experiences to look forward to in next year at Walt Disney World Resort!

    1. In honor of the true originals, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Mickey & Minnie’s Surprise Celebration will bring new music, dancing and all sorts of other fun to Magic Kingdom Park.

    2. For starters, the new “Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party” at Magic Kingdom Park will invite you to dance with Mickey, Minnie and their pals in front of Cinderella Castle. Shake it along with live singers belting out new arrangements of classic “Mickey Mouse Club” songs.

    3. The Dapper Dans and other entertainers on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom Park will sing songs in honor of Mickey and Minnie.

    4. Look for special Mickey- and Minnie-themed merchandise and food at Magic Kingdom Park to make this party complete.

    5. And this is a Surprise Celebration, after all, so you can expect more Limited-Time Magic entertainment and other experiences to pop up periodically around Magic Kingdom Park.

    The Incredibles

    6. The Incredibles are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as Pixar Place will transform into a Municiberg city block.

    7. At the end of the block, a party will be held in honor of Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Frozone to celebrate their Super deeds.

    8. Meet the one and only Edna Mode – the greatest super suit designer! She will set up a special location on Pixar Place showcasing some of her best creations (no capes!).

    9. Also on Pixar Place, look for clues to the whereabouts of the youngest Incredible, the mischievous and multi-powered Jack-Jack.

    10. Elsewhere at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a door to the monster world will open inside Walt Disney Presents, where you’ll have a chance to meet Mike and Sulley from Pixar’s Monsters, Inc.

    11. Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Lion King” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom along with Timon and Rafiki in the “Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party” on Discovery Island. Let your inner animal roam free on the dance floor in this raucous party!

    12. Also at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, have fun posing in front of special three-dimensional photo opportunities re-creating scenes from the animated classic.

    Epcot International Festival of the Arts

    13. The Epcot International Festival of the Arts is back! This year’s special event takes place Jan. 18 – Feb.25, allowing you to indulge in world-class culinary, visual and performing arts.

    14. The Disney on Broadway Concert Series is expanding to seven days a week during the Festival of the Arts, so you’ll have even more opportunities to experience some Disney musical magic live on stage.

    And later in the year…

    15. Welcome spring’s arrival with the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, returning March 6 – June 3 with its wide selection of delectable bites at outdoor kitchens and dozens of Disney-themed topiaries blooming around the park.

    16. Even better, this year’s Garden Rocks Concert Series expands, as well, to seven days a week during the Flower & Garden Festival, which means a total of 270 concerts over the course of the 90-day event.

    17. Ka-Chow! Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy rolls into Disney’s Hollywood Studios in spring 2019. In this new show experience, you’ll come face to face with Lightning and learn from his years of experience on the track.

    18. Outside the Racing Academy, you’ll get to meet Lightning McQueen’s speedy pal, Cruz Ramirez.

    And finally…

    19. If you haven’t visited Walt Disney World Resort recently, then there’s even more for you to explore and experience. Become an honorary toy at Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, travel to the bioluminescent planet of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom or wish a fond farewell to “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” – the nighttime spectacular at Epcot– before its conclusion scheduled for the second half of 2019.

  • Disney Cruise Line Debuts 2019 Fall Lineup of Itineraries and Home Ports

    Disney Cruise Line Debuts 2019 Fall Lineup of Itineraries and Home Ports

    Disney Cruise Line has announced an exciting lineup of vacations for fall 2019, including returns to captivating destinations like Bermuda, Bahamas, Baja, Canada and the Caribbean on a variety of itineraries from home ports in New York, California, Texas and Florida.

    With cruises ranging from two-night getaways to weeklong vacations and beyond, this season of sailings offers countless opportunities for families to delight in Disney magic, explore exotic locales and make lifelong memories together.

    Read on to discover all the ways your family can embark on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in fall 2019.

    Sailings to Bermuda, Bahamas and Canada from New York
    The Disney Magic will return to New York in September 2019 for an exclusive selection of departures to a diverse collection of destinations, including luxurious Bermuda, sun-kissed Bahamas and historic New Brunswick, Canada.

    Three special five-night cruises feature two days in Bermuda, allowing extra time for guests to indulge in the island nation’s famous pink-sand beaches, world-class shopping, abundant water activities and distinctive blend of British and Caribbean culture.

    A single five-night cruise to Canada will transport guests from New York to charming Saint John, New Brunswick with a stop in Bar Harbor, Maine. Saint John is the home of majestic natural phenomena like the renowned Reversing Falls and the world’s highest tides, located where the Saint John River meets the Bay of Fundy.

    And during two seven-night sailings from New York to the Bahamas, cruisers will be treated to a double-dose of pixie dust. We are pairing a stop at Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay, with a magical day at Port Canaveral, Florida… where every guest receives a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket and round-trip transportation to the theme parks in nearby Orlando!

    Baja and Mexican Riviera Voyages from California
    Also in September 2019, the Disney Wonder will set sail for a limited engagement in San Diego, where guests can embark on adventures to Baja and the Mexican Riviera. Baja itineraries highlight the region’s famous beaches and exciting water activities with calls on Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico. Two exclusive seven-night Mexican Riviera sailings feature the snorkeling and scuba diving hot spots Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.

    Disney Cruise Line guests can add even more magic to these vacations by combining select San Diego-based cruises with a pre-cruise package from Adventures by Disney. During this three-night itinerary, guests will embark on a rare behind-the-magic visit to The Walt Disney Studios and Disney Archives, a private tour of Walt Disney Imagineering and a visit to the place where it all began — the Disneyland Resort!

    Vacations to Bahamas and Caribbean from Texas
    Beginning late November 2019, the Disney Wonder will make Galveston its home port for a special series of sailings to the Caribbean and Bahamas, with itinerary options at four, six and seven nights.

    Caribbean cruises include stops in Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Bahamian itineraries feature stops in Castaway Cay and Key West, Florida. Two of the Bahamian sailings also take guests to Nassau, Bahamas, while another includes an exclusive second day on Castaway Cay.

    Tropical Escapes from Florida
    The Disney Magic will return to Miami in November 2019 with a diverse lineup of cruises to the Bahamas and Caribbean, with most itineraries featuring a day ashore at Castaway Cay.

    The Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy will continue sailing guest-favorite itineraries out of Port Canaveral, and every sailing includes a stop at Castaway Cay. The Disney Dream sails three- and four-night Bahamian cruises, while the Disney Fantasy sails seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages.

    The Disney Fantasy will also sail a selection of special itineraries in fall 2019:

    • In October, an eight-night voyage transports guests south to St. Kitts, Antigua and San Juan, Puerto Rico. A six-night Western Caribbean itinerary in October includes calls on Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico. Both itineraries are capped off with a day at Castaway Cay.
    • In December, two unique seven-night itineraries on the Disney Fantasy include one cruise to San Juan, Tortola and Castaway Cay, and another voyage featuring two days on Disney’s private island after visits to Cozumel and Grand Cayman.

    Disney Vacation Club Charter Cruises for 2019
    Today, Disney Vacation Club announced the dates for two special members-only Disney Cruise Line charter cruises: a five-night Pacific Coast sailing aboard the Disney Wonder on May 15 and a seven-night cruise to Bermuda aboard the Disney Magic on October 5. Bookings for both cruises open to Disney Vacation Club members on June 23, 2018.

    Which cruise will you choose? Bookings for fall 2019 sailings open May 24, 2018. If you need help booking your magical vacation, contact Enchanted Kingdom Vacations with Vikki for help.
