  • Video Of Woman Inappropriately Touching Gaston At Disney is Going Viral

    Video Of Woman Inappropriately Touching Gaston At Disney is Going Viral

    A guest at Disney World was told to “get out” while getting her picture taken with Beauty and the Beast character Gaston after she touched him inappropriately.

    In the video, which was originally shared on YouTube in 2015, a woman can be seen standing next to Gaston for a photo touching his chest in a flirtatious manner.

    The encounter prompted an instant response from the Disney cast member, who stepped away before gesturing for the woman to leave, telling her: “You’re out. NOW.” As you can see in the video below:

    The actor immediately pulls away, while staying in character pushes her towards the exit and says “get out.”

    This week the video resurfaced after, Evan Snead, who goes by the username @evansnead on TikTok, where he frequently shares behind-the-scenes facts and videos about Disney theme parks, uploaded the video to TikTok as a reminder to guests of the importance of treating Disney cast members with respect.

  • ‘Beauty and the Beast’-Inspired Spaces Aboard the Disney Wish

    ‘Beauty and the Beast’-Inspired Spaces Aboard the Disney Wish

    The Disney Wish will be the fifth ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet, with sailing expected to begin in summer 2022 and Disney has revealed that the ship will feature “Beauty and the Beast” inspired spaces aboard the ship.

    If you’ve ever vacationed with Disney Cruise Line before, you know how they offer dedicated spaces for adults to relax and unwind. Aboard the Disney Wish, their adult dining venues will have a uniquely Disney twist inspired by this classic story. 

    At Palo Steakhouse, they are evolving the Disney Cruise Line favorite and combining authentic Italian cuisine with modern steakhouse fare. As you dine in this sophisticated setting, you’ll notice subtle theming centered around everyone’s favorite punctual and precise clock, Cogsworth! The design of this space features dark wood detailing that is adorned with clockwork-inspired wall art. The layout will offer oversized banquette seating or the option for a more intimate table that will be adjacent to expansive windows offering stunning ocean views.

    While Palo Steakhouse is deep and rich in ambience, Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement celebrates the light and frivolity of Cogsworth’s quick-witted colleague, Lumiere, boasting a palette of blues and white brought to life through shimmering light fixtures made up of gold and glassy baubles. You’ll discover these elegant design details celebrating the debonair candelabra all while enjoying a gourmet menu created by the three-star-Michelin Chef Lallement. One thing’s for sure, a dinner here will certainly be an illuminating experience! 

    Both restaurants will feature private dining rooms and will be joined by an outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean.

    And, of course, you wouldn’t be able to celebrate the story of “Beauty and the Beast” without including one of the most iconic elements in the film – the enchanted rose that started it all. Found at the entrance to Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté, the lounge, appropriately named The Rose, will serve as the perfect setting for a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner cocktail. 

    The first sailing is slated for June 9, 2022, with three- and four-night sailings going to Bahamas and Castaway Cay, and bookings will open May 27.

    Disney Confirms Live-Action ‘Beauty & the Beast’ Prequel Series in the Works

    During Thursday’s Disney Investor Day, the studio confirmed plans for a Beauty and the Beast prequel series on Disney+.

    The six-part musical live-action series will see Luke Evans and Josh Gad reprise their roles from Disney’s 2017 live-action big screen adaption of Beauty and the Beast.

    Gad took to Twitter shortly after the news was announced, and promised fans something fun as you can see below:

    The show will expand the world of the film, and give fans a look at the backstory behind the two antagonists before the events of the movie.

    The streaming service Disney+ is teaming with Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz as well as composer Alan Menken.

    The 2017 Beauty and the Beast film, directed by Bill Condon, grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Kevin Kline also starred.

    No one’s got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston and no one gets a new tv series like Gaston either. That’s right! A new Beauty & The Beast prequel series to the 2017 Disney live-action feature film, with stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans set to reprise their roles, could be coming to Disney+.

    Streaming service Disney+ is teaming with Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz as well as stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans for a Beauty and the Beast prequel limited series to the 2017 feature film in which the latter pair starred.

    The untitled limited series will be a six-episode musical event, with composer Alan Menken in talks to return as well. Sources say the project, which is currently in the early development stage, will take place well before the events of the film and also expand the Beauty and the Beast universe. No other stars from the film — like Emma Watson and Dan Stevens — are currently attached, though sources say there is a possibility that they could pop in for a guest spot.

    The 2017 Beauty and the Beast film, directed by Bill Condon, grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Kevin Kline also starred.

    The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news.

  • New “Beauty and the Beast”-Inspired Lounge Coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

    New “Beauty and the Beast”-Inspired Lounge Coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

    Tie your napkin around your neck, because Disney is bringing a new “Beauty and the Beast”-inspired lounge to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa this fall as we have previously reported and now we have a name.

    Located on the second floor of the lobby, this re-imagined lounge will be called Enchanted Rose and will celebrate the magic and romance of Disney’s popular live-action movie. 

    Formerly Mizner’s Lounge and Commander Porter’s, the new lounge will feature four unique spaces inspired by Belle and the Beast. The signature bar will glow from the light of a magnificent gold chandelier that takes its inspiration from Belle’s flowing ball gown, with subtle nods to the Beast’s magical rose. The formal library showcases classical baroque designs and French furnishings inspired by Belle, with hints of the Beast’s friends. The garden room will be a whimsical space that draws its inspiration from the enchanted forest surrounding Beast’s castle. And an outdoor patio will evoke the romance of Beast’s garden terrace.

    It’s the latest new Disney magic coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. In February, we announced a new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location will open this summer at the beloved and picturesque resort hotel located on the banks of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

    With charm and elegance to be found around every turn, this quaint bar and lounge will be the place where you can put our service to the test and share a tale as old as time.

  • Georgia Merry and Brian Hull New Beauty and the Beast Duet is Magical

    Georgia Merry and Brian Hull New Beauty and the Beast Duet is Magical

    Youtube sensation Georgia Merry and impressionist Brian Hull have teamed up once again. This time the duo is singing “Something There” from Disney’s “Beauty and Beast” and it’s amazing!

    Merry and Hull have partnered up for a duet before with a performance from Disney’s Pocahontas and this time they have brought the magic once again! Take a look at the new video below:

    Breaking through with her sound and style, Georgia Merry has become one of YouTube’s biggest Disney content creators. With over a hundred million video views she has really made quite a name for herself and keeps her fans coming back for more.

    Georgia is 22 and lives just outside of Manchester, UK. She created her channel around five years ago and her content is split between covers of the latest popular songs, vlogs and, by far and away her most popular and viewed content, Disney medleys.

    Each of Georgia’s Disney medleys takes around two months of solid work to produce. Her medleys are a result of massive amounts of hard work, from planning and producing the music that it will feature to cutting the transitions between songs.  She has to record the vocals, plan the costumes and make-up and then of course the shooting and editing of the video, all to come up with the final production that you’ll see on YouTube.

    Get Your First Sneak Peek of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Attraction

    Today Disney Parks shared a sneak peek at the new Beauty and the Beast ride and attraction coming to Tokyo Disneyland.

    The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, as it will be called, is modeled after the original 1991 animated film and features animatronic figures of Belle, Beast, her horse Philippe and other characters. The attraction is being added to the park as part of a large-scale development plan bringing new attractions, entertainment, shopping and dining to the park.

    “We’re very excited to be creating the first ride through attraction of Beauty and the Beast anywhere in the world right here in Tokyo Disneyland,” said Disney Imagineering Senior Producer Jim Clark. Take a look at some of the details and amazing concept art below.

    Beauty and the Beast Tokyo Disneyland

    The ride is just part of a Fantasyland revamp. Beauty and the Beast Castle will be the centerpiece of a new area themed to “Beauty and the Beast” in Fantasyland and tower nearly 98 feet above the surrounding area and house the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, a new attraction inviting guests to step into the animated film aboard ride vehicles that dance in rhythm to the film’s music.

    The nearby Village Shoppes and La Taverne de Gaston will further allow guests to explore the world of the film and enjoy the ambience of Belle’s village.

    The ride will debut in spring in 2020 as part of the resort’s expansion plan. In addition to nearly doubling the size of Fantasyland at Tokyo Disneyland, Imagineers are hard at work on an eighth themed port at Tokyo DisneySea, celebrating the stories of Frozen, Tangled and Peter Pan and connecting to a new deluxe hotel with a one-of-a-kind luxury wing.

  • Cogsworth Voice Actor David Ogden Stiers Dies at Age 75

    Cogsworth Voice Actor David Ogden Stiers Dies at Age 75

    David Odgen Stiers has died at the age of 75 after he lost his battle with bladder cancer.  The famous actor is best known for playing Major Charles Winchester on “M*A*S*H”, but for many Disney fans he is known as the voice of Cogsworth — the clock — from Disney’s 1991 animated classic “Beauty and the Beast.”

    The actor’s agent Mitchell Stubbs confirmed the saddening news Saturday night in an email.

    He died “peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon after a courageous battle with bladder cancer,” the MKS Talent Agency tweeted.
    “His talent was only surpassed by his heart,” the agency added.

    The Emmy-nominated actor also provided the voice of a number of classic Disney characters including Beauty And The Beast’s Cogsworth, Governor Ratcliffe and Wiggins in ‘Pocahontas’ and Jumba in ‘Lilo and Stitch’.

    Stiers was twice Emmy nominated for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy or variety or music series for his work on “M*A*S*H”, but the accomplished award-winning actor also has more than 150 film and television credits. Beyond his beloved role in Beauty and the Beast the actor actually has multiple Disney credits to his name.

    In addition to serving as the voice of Cogsworth in “Beauty and the Beast”, we was also the narrator of the film. Additionally, he also voiced Governor Ratcliffe and Wiggins in Disney’s “Pocahontas” and voiced the Archdeacon in Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
