Disney Lights Up Chicago [Quick Take]

 DisneyLightUpChicago Disney Lights Up Chicago [Quick Take]

As you know from my post about Keeping the Magic Alive from Home, I’ve recently found myself further from the Walt Disney World entrance gate than ever before. So when I heard that Disney Parks would be sponsoring the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival here in Chicago, I had to brave the crowd (and the cold) and check it out. I took a quick video of the action on my iPhone (sorry for the poor angle – I’m vertically challenged and didn’t get the best spot!) and thought I’d share it. Did anybody else reading this attend the Parade this year? Have you seen it before? Let us know in the comments or on our Facebook Page.

Kilimanjaro Safaris: Now with (More) Real Animals!

disney2009 ak safarilogo Kilimanjaro Safaris: Now with (More) Real Animals!

Come in, Simba One! The Disney Parks Blog has announced plans to change the final “scene” of Kilimanjaro Safaris. Instead of rushing to save the Baby Elephant “Little Red” from nefarious poachers, the last scene will be reconstructed as a Savannah space with a watering hole for live animals.

This will obviously cause a bit of a change in the story of the attraction, but Jennifer Baker, of the Disney Parks blog, promises the attraction will continue to have a “prominent conservation message.”

The changes will be completed by Fall 2012, though the attraction will remain open throughout.
