At the end of last year, The Muppets Present Great Moments of History show was closed. The Muppets came back earlier this year for President’s Day Weekend and they are now back again for Christmas!
The Muppets Present Great Moments of History was a show in Liberty Square where the Muppets would sing songs and sign The Declaration of Independence.
This time, instead of singing songs about Independence, the Muppets are singing “Jingle Bell Rock”. Gonzo and his chickens are now shaking jingle bells. The paneling below The Muppets is red, green, and decorated with candy canes and Christmas trees. I think this is a great idea to bring back the Muppets because they were such an important part of Liberty Square.
Be sure to see the Muppets while they are in Liberty Square and take a lot of pictures!
Disney+ launched on November 12 and in my first review I promised you guys that I would do a more in depth review of Disney+. I have also been watching some shows on Disney+ and I want to recommend them to you.
First of, if you don’t know what I am talking about, Disney+ is a streaming service where you get to watch your favorite Disney movies and shows with no commercials. It is literally Netflix except everything is Disney.
Disney meaning Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Yep, there is something for everyone here!
If you speak another language Disney+ original shows and movies are in English, Spanish, French, and Dutch. Some shows, like The Mandalorian, have more languages. How exactly do you choose for your show to be in a different language? When you are watching a show click on the tiny box in the upper right corner. Do you see it?
Audio means that the show is in a different language. Subtitles mean that you will see the words on the bottom.
Wow!
Not all shows will have this many languages though. Some may just look like this.
You can also download as many shows and movies as you want!
Okay now I will tell you about some of the new shows on Disney+ that I recommend.
First up is The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian is Star Wars so if you like Star Wars you will enjoy this show. Have you heard of Baby Yoda? Baby Yoda is from the Mandalorian!
Another show I would recommend is The World According to Jeff Goldblum. The show is hilarious! Jeff Goldblum goes on a journey with you to learn more about things from sneakers to gaming.
The show is not only funny but you learn a lot more about the topic in a fun way.
Here are some of the other topics he talks about.
If you like cooking shows then I would recommend Gordon Ramsay Uncharted. Gordon Ramsay is a chef who goes to Peru, New Zealand, Morocco, Hawaii, Laos, and Alaska to learn how the people in these countries or states make food in their environment.
If you’re a fan of High School Musical then you should watch High School Musical The Musical The Series. I have not watched this show yet but I am going to. It has been 13 years since the first High School Musical and now the next generation is putting together a new production. High School Musical: The Musical.
Christmas is right around the corner! If you are trying to find a new movie to watch then I found one for you! Noelle is a fun Christmas movie. Noelle’s brother Nick is having trouble with taking over for their father so Noelle suggests he takes a break. When he doesn’t return Noelle must find her brother and bring him home.
I just recommended to you 4 shows and 1 movie. There has to be at least one show that you will enjoy. Episodes for The Madalorian, The World According To Jeff Goldblum, and High School Musical The Musical The Series new episodes come out on Fridays.
Disney+ has old Disney movies and shows but I wanted to talk about some new shows on Disney+.
Disney does have competition and I will tell you how they stay ahead of their competition.
First off, it’s Disney’s merchandise. They always have merchandise for special events like Christmas or Halloween.
Disney also has different collections so if you have, for example, an Imagination Pink Loungefly backpack then you probably want to match with the same color pink hat, shirt, and water bottle.
The Imagination Pink collection!
The merchandise is really expensive and Disney is making a lot of money because they have the merchandise in different colors.
The Rose Gold Collection!
Another way Disney is ahead is the Cast Members. The Cast Members (the people who work in Disney World) are always friendly and in a good mood. This is not the case in other amusement parks. In Universal they have friendly people too but besides Disney World and Universal other amusement parks just do not have very friendly people. The people that work at other amusement parks always look annoyed and like they don’t want to be there. Friendly cast members are very important because if a person has a good interaction with a cast member then they will want to come back to Disney World or Universal.
Disney is also constantly updating its parks by adding new rides. If, for example, you’re a big Star Wars fan then you probably want to go to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios. Then you will make the long journey to Disney World and Disney gets a lot of money! While we are on the topic, Rise of the Resistance opened on December 5.
Other rides that are coming are Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Train in the spring of 2020 in Hollywood Studios, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is coming next summer in the France pavilion, and Beauty and the Beast Sing Along debuts January 2020.
These are a few ways that Disney stays ahead of its competition.
It’s almost December and I want to tell you about the Christmas fireworks show and more Christmas events that are coming to Hollywood Studios.
You can see the nighttime show Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! This show is complete with fireworks and music. You can help the elves Wayne and Lanny from the movie Prep and Landing find missing Santa Clause.
You can also see the Sunset Seasons Greetings projection on The Hollywood Tower Hotel. It comes with lasers, snow, and stories and songs from Mickey, Minnie, Olaf, and friends.
Christmas is coming to Epcot! From the Holiday Cookie Stroll to the Candlelight Processional there are many reasons to be merry!
The Holiday Cookie Stroll is back! The Holiday Cookie Stroll is when you get to try different delicious cookies during the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. There is even a sweet offer! When you buy five cookies, and get a matching stamp for each one of the cookies, you can go to the Holiday Kitchen and get a cookie!
There is also the famous Candlelight Processional. It is a holiday event that takes place every year at Epcot. A celebrity hosts the event and tells the story of Christmas along with a choir and a fifty piece orchestra.
Here are the celebrities that will be the narrators at the Candelight Processional.
If you’re a Disney Passholder then Disney has already sent or is going to send you this book.
This cover is so pretty!
If you’re not a Disney Passholder, no worries! I am going to tell you about what is coming to Disney World this Christmas! I am going to do separate articles on Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Disney Springs.
A couple months ago I already told you about what is coming to Animal Kingdom this Christmas. If you missed that article click here!
Minnie now has her own fireworks show! Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit with pretty colors and carols.
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks!
You can see the fireworks show in Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tommorrowland. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks will be a part of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas. You can see the fireworks from now until December 22, 2019.
Disney World has announced holiday overlays and entertainment will be coming to Animal Kingdom during Christmas. I think it is exciting that Animal Kingdom will have decorations in every land.
Discovery Island will be filled with holiday decorations and luminaries on the roof, wire frame bird-shaped lanterns, and themed garland. Also, there will be festivities for the daytime and nighttime.
During the night the bird lanterns and rooftop luminaries make a glow through Discovery Island. The iconic Tree of Life will have winter tales. During the day Discovery Island will have sculpted puppets.
In Dinoland your favorite Disney characters will be playing Donald’s Dino-Bash. You will also be able to ‘Round the Truck-O-Saurus.”
In Animal Kingdom’s Asia, the theater district has been decorated for Diwali. Diwali is the holiday festival of lights in India.
The village Harambe in Animal Kingdom’s Africa will have western traditions with the colors and textiles of African celebrations. At Tusker House, Mickey and his friends will have a holiday overlay.
Finally, let’s head over to Pandora. There will be decorations at Pongu Pongu with pieces made from the Earth. It will begin November 8, 2019.
This news is exciting and puts you in the mood for Christmas!
