Every Guest is a Hero: Disney’s Theme Parks and the Magic of Mythic Storytelling

October 26, 2014 By Tony Caselnova

Hi. I’m Adam Berger, and in addition to being an occasional blogger for Disneyways.com, I’m also a longtime professional show writer and designer who has worked with the Disney Imagineers over the years on numerous projects. Now I’ve written an entertaining and highly accessible book that reveals, for the first time, some of Walt Disney Imagineering’s best-kept storytelling secrets. The book is called Every Guest is a Hero: Disney’s Theme Parks and the Magic of Mythic Storytelling, and it’s available in both print and e-reader editions from Amazon.com and other fine online booksellers. It’s a must-read volume for Disney enthusiasts and aspiring Imagineers alike.

Glow With the Show Evolves Into Made With Magic This Fall at Disney Parks
Made With Magic items will excite, delight, light up and interact with select Disney experiences at Disney Parks. We will continue to offer the original ear hat first introduced a few years ago. New items will include a new Minnie Mouse-inspired headband, a Mickey Mouse glove and, my favorite, a magical wand that reminds me of Sorcerer Mickey.
The Sorcerer Mickey wand will have multiple light-up functions and will give guests the ability to change the light patterns of other Made With Magic items. Guests can also place the Made With Magic items in a color-changing demo mode, when they aren’t present at “Made With Magic”-enabled entertainment.
As with the previously released ear hat, all Made With Magic items will interact with experiences at Disney Parks around the world regardless of where the items were originally purchased.
Each item will have a retail of $25.00. have you seen?

Disneyland from Randy: Last Sunday, October 12, over 16,000 walkers participated in the 24th Annual CHOC Walk at the Disneyland Resort, raising over $2 million for Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Besides this being the 24th year for the Walk as a whole, this was the 13th year that the Disneyland Resort has hosted the CHOC Walk in the Park. The route through both parks and the Downtown Disney District was filled with characters, music, and entertainment, not just provided by Disney, but from many local schools as volunteers as well.

CHOC has more of a connection to Disneyland than just the walk, though. Disney has supported CHOC Children’s even before the hospital opened. Walt Disney himself was instrumental in the founding of CHOC Children’s, “leaving a legacy of compassion and a tradition of community support that still exists today” (to quote Disneyland Resort President Michael Colglazier).

Disneyland Rumor – Lugi’s Flying Tires is being closed Jan 12, 2015, no replacement attraction has been named yet
DISCUSS – Movie review Rated PG
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Disney’s “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life—a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn’t had one.
Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Ed Oxenbould, Kerris Dorsey, Megan Mullally, Jennifer Coolidge, Bella Thorne
