All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me...You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Disneyland Paris debuts a new nighttime show

As part of their 20th Anniversary celebration, Disneyland Paris recently premiered their new nighttime spectacular, Disney Dreams! The exciting new show, a combination of the best parts of World of Color, The Magic, the Memories, and You, and Fantasmic! takes place on and around Sleeping Beauty Castle.

It would be exciting to see a show like this come to the US parks, although, as awesome as it would be, it might be a reach to see something of this magnitude at Disneyland with the smaller castle and hub, and World of Color is just across the esplanade. Either way, it's great to see the cool things WDI is doing.


Disney released this video of the show:

Avengerail debuts at Disney World

In preparation for the upcoming Marvel Studios film, The Avengers, the Avengerail recently debuted at Walt Disney World. Unlike the Tronorail, this one runs on the Magic Kingdom line. According to Inside the Magic, the Avengerail cannot run on the Epcot line for legal reasons, possibly licensing issues with Marvel character-based attractions inside a Disney park, since the Magic Kingdom line doesn't actually enter the Magic Kingdom.

Could this be what CEO Bob Iger was referring to a few weeks ago when he mentioned Marvel coming to Disney Parks?

Pretty cool, but wouldn't mind seeing something like this at the Disneyland Resort.

Here's a cool video from Inside the Magic:
