Pixar Fest is upon us, & Disneyland has debuted their newest projection/firework show, Together Forever-A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular. WDW News Today caught the first showing, put up this awesome video for us all to capture a little of the magic. Now at first glance this show isn't on the level of Happily Ever After in Disneyworld, but it's a very, very close second. Beautiful moments abound during this, but the biggest highlight for me was seeing the real, "flying" Buzz Lightyear, & even more so the "flyby" from the house from Up! . Those were just amazing, & the house was totally unexpected. I also happened to notice some good ol' Disney reuse of some animation in here, seeing some scenes used in Happily Ever After. You really had to look to find them though. Other highlights in this show for me were the always friends line with Buzz & Woody, obviously the aliens with the claw, & more than any, the first projections from Coco . The little mariachi doesn't have a spot yet in the Happily Ever After , so that was really cool to check out. I wish I could see this live as video doesn't even do these shows any justice at all. To see the actual scale, & scope of these is a real breathtaking treat. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of this, make a point to go see it. You will not be disappointed, I promise you that. Until then though, what did you think of this video version of the debut? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Coco" Family Celebration Starts Soon At Disney Springs
I live in Florida. The bad part is I live as far away from Disneyworld as one possibly can & still live in Florida. I'm in the process of getting closer, & stuff like this is the reason why. Pixar's causing quite a frenzy of anticipation for the upcoming Coco. With a display in EPCOT's Mexico pavilion, & Plaza De La Familia at Disney's California Adventure the party's already going coast to coast. Now according to Chip & Co., Disney Springs is getting in on the action too. From October 27th to November 26 Disney Springs will be hosting the family-friendly Coco Family Celebration. From 6pm-10pm guests can enjoy Coco themed décor, music, & food, with face painting & activities for kids Fridays-Sundays. For a limited time get some vanilla flan at Spring's Street Tacos Food Truck, also joining the fray. I wouldn't just make a day of this, I'd probably make a week out of it. Tacos & mariachi music? Count me in. How bout y'all? Who's goin to attend this Coco Family Celebration, & who would if they could?
A Look At Plaza De La Familia In Disney California Adventure Park
I want to attend this so bad. I'm am on the other coast though, & that makes it a little hard to attend the other parks, for now. I was just at EPCOT though, & they are putting up a Coco themed Day of the Dead exhibition right as you enter the Mexico pavilion similar to this. That pavilion was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw this video. This kinda reminds me of an outside, more family orientated version. At Plaza De La Familia there's a Day of the Dead celebration every day, celebrating family. You can also get some background into Coco while you're there. This is one of those things you attend at a Disney Park, & the next thing you know you've spent all you're time here. Anyway, what do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Coco's Coming To Disneyland!
Can't wait until November 22 for the release of Pixar's Coco? Disneyland is providing a little something to hold you over in the form of Plaza de la Familia. I'm actually a little jealous of this one. I wish it was coming round my way. There's even an awesome spot in Epcot's Mexico to set it up. Hint, hint. Anyway, it's a festival beginning Sept 15 & running through Nov 2 at the Paradise Gardens Bandstand in Disney California Adventure Park. Pixar Post reports this is "A Musical Celebration of Coco" where singing host Mateo will be joined by Folklorico dancers & the GRAMMY-award-winning Mariachi Divas to bring three of the films songs to life. Also to be included in the festivities is mariachi music, The World of Coco exhibit, a Tree of Life interactive photo location, & a whole new menu of Mexican food. Every part of this sounds awesome. I've been all about this movie since I first heard the music. I would LOVE to see this show. (And also eat the food!) If this isn't streamed, someone on the west-coast please record this & put it up on YouTube. I have to see this experience. What do y'all think? Does this show sound as great in your head as it does in mine? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
