The 'Up' House in Utah is Finally an Actual Home

January 4, 2012 at 1:41 PM | by | Comments (0)

The real-life "Up" house in Herriman, Utah has found permanent owners.

The house, which is a full-scale replica of the home in the Disney/Pixar movie "Up", located at 13222 Herriman Rose Boulevard, was originally built by Bangerter Homes to be part of the 2011 Salt Lake City Parade of Homes but became a tourist attraction that has brought more than 1000 people a week through suburban Herriman.

The builders had to get special permission from Disney to recreate every detail of the cartoon house, from Carl's chair in the living room to the mailbox outside, and that is exactly what appealed to the home's new owners.

If You Liked the Disney Pixar Movie 'Cars,' You're Going to Love 'Planes'

August 23, 2011 at 9:05 AM | by | Comment (1)

From the people who brought you the movie Cars (ah hem Pixar) now comes Planes! It's true—Disney is rehashing the storyline that made them million upon millions in Cars and giving it wings, literally. Just announced this weekend, Pixar's Planes won't be available until spring 2013, when it goes straight to DVD.

The story follows a cropduster plane—"Dusty" voiced by Jon Cryer—who leaves his little town of Propwash Junction (sound familiar to Cars already?) with a courageous spirit and a longing to join the ranks of faster planes, like air racers and military jets.

Check out the trailer (yes, there's already a trailer):

Jennifer Lopez Sticks to the Classic Rides at Disneyland

June 27, 2011 at 12:40 PM | by | Comment (1)

Jennifer Lopez took advantage of a little downtime over the weekend and spent the day with her family at Disneyland. On Saturday she was spotted on the Dumbo Ride at the Anaheim, California theme park with her three-year-old daughter Emme. Her son Max, mother Guadalupe and sisters Lynda and Leslie also tagged along for a day of Disney magic.

Of course Jennifer wouldn't be expected to walk through the park on her own, so Disney accommodated the Lopez family by providing them with a personal escort for the day who kept fans at bay.

Mickey Mouse Isn't Letting an Earthquake and Tsunami End His Fun in Asia

April 7, 2011 at 9:12 AM | by | Comments (0)

April is a big month for Disney when it comes to its theme parks in Asia. It seems like we’ve been talking about the House of Mouse opening up a new park in China for some time now, but it looks like tomorrow is the day when the bulldozers, shovels, and cranes finally arrive in Shanghai. The official groundbreaking is set for April 8—assuming all goes according to plan.

It takes quite some time for all those iconic Disney rides and attractions to be built from the ground up, so don’t expect to visit anytime soon. As of now, they’re thinking that it’s going to take about five years or so. The city of Shanghai has created a special tourist zone just for the park, and they’ve set aside just shy of 2,000 acres for hotels, parking lots, and a lake. They’ll also be adding a stop to their subway system too, so accessing Mickey will be pretty simple.

June 3 is the Most Important Day at Disneyland This Year

March 3, 2011 at 3:49 PM | by | Comments (0)

We’ve mentioned all the bulldozers at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure on and off for quite some time, and it looks like Mickey is still busy in his construction worker outfit as the warmer weather approaches.

The two parks are already getting ready for the influx of locals and tourists, and this year visitors are going to have quite the summer. Projects to revamp the park across from Disneyland have been ongoing, but this summer another big milestone arrives. The front entrance of the park will be changing—so get ready to enter in some kind of weird maze way—but once you’re inside get ready for a whole new ride.

Celebrate with Aaron Rodgers Today at Disney's Magic Kingdom

February 7, 2011 at 12:59 PM | by | Comments (0)

Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers won't have much downtime today. He's already on his way to Orlando for the ticker-tape parade down Main Street U.S.A at Disney's Magic Kingdom, which he'll squeeze in before heading to New York City for Late Night with David Letterman tonight.

After helping the Green Bay Packers win Super Bowl XLV&3151;in a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers&3151;in Dallas last night, Aaron stepped in front of the TV cameras and shouted the words every athlete dreams of: “I’m going to Disney World!”

Disney's California Adventure Loses Its Letters in Preparation for an Influx of New Fun Stuff

January 7, 2011 at 11:55 AM | by | Comments (0)

If you always wanted to take a tacky tourist photo—we have one, we’ll admit it—in front of the oversize letters that spell out “California” at Disney’s California Adventure it’s unfortunately too late. As part of the park’s major rehaul—they’re finally making it worth the price of admission—the letters are in the process of being sent backstage this week.

We’re a little sad as we always thought the letters were kind of fun, especially when the Disney folks dressed them up as candy canes for Christmas and as candy corns for Halloween.

To help keep the hype going long after the movie leaves theaters, Disney California Adventure has transformed a once dormant corner of their Anaheim, CA theme park into a pulsating, neon-lit nightclub.

Disneyland Hong Kong Isn't Such A Small World After All

November 17, 2009 at 5:14 PM | by | Comment (1)

Disney seems to have decided where its future lies, and surprisingly it's in the one major country that isn't convulsing from an economic disaster. A couple weeks ago we posted about how the Corporation is building an entire new theme park in Shanghai, China, with a projected opening date somewhere of 2015. In the meantime they're not exactly neglecting the Disneyland in Hong Kong.

It's quite the opposite in fact, as Disney is working with the Chinese government to massively expand the theme park, injecting half a billion dollars and adding three new themed lands:
