Disney's Hollywood Studios and Fans Pay Tribute to Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds | Inaugural Epcot International Festival of the Arts is Underway | "Star Wars: Galactic Nights" Special Event Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios: One Night Only | "Delicious Disney, A Chef Series" Continues in 2017 | Views around the World | This and That | Crowd Forecast
Disney's Hollywood Studios and Fans Pay Tribute to Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds
Actress Carrie Fisher, best known for portraying Princess Leia in the Star Wars movie franchise, passed away on December 27, 2016. The next day, her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, known for her starring role in Singin' in the Rain, passed away as well.
Fans at Disney's Hollywood Studios on January 14, 2017, paid tribute to the passing of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds by raising lightsabers and umbrellas for a moment as Joy Frost's musical rendition of "Singin' In The Rain Lightly Sprinkled with the Star Wars Theme" played. Video by Alan S. Dalinka.
Since Disney's Hollywood Studios is Walt Disney World's center for celebrating all things Star Wars (and is the Florida home of the Star Tours attraction), and since the park's The Great Movie Ride pays tribute to the film Singin' in the Rain, it makes sense that the park would be the site of a tribute to these legendary actresses. Thus, on January 14, in what Disney performer Mark Daniel announced from the Center Stage was a "fan-based event" which was "created for you, by you," fans paid tribute to "a mother and a daughter who forever left their marks on the Silver Screen: Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher." Mark Daniel invited fans to, "either raise your umbrellas or lightsabers toward the sky and, together... pay tribute to Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher."
Inaugural Epcot International Festival of the Arts is Underway
The first-ever Epcot International Festival of the Arts began its six weekends (of Fridays through Mondays) run this past Friday. This new Festival at Epcot celebrates Disney-inspired visual artists, culinary artistic creations by Walt Disney World chefs, and the performing arts, including Disney's Broadway songs and artists. On Festival days beginning at 11 a.m., seven "Food Studios" (six around World Showcase Lagoon plus one in the Odyssey Festival Showplace) provide a theme park-take on "Fine Dining" that really is a step above food served at Epcot's other Festivals (note, though, that a "Fine Dining" experience at a quick-service-style kiosk requires increased waiting time as each dish is prepared for and presented to guests).
During Festival days, the Fountain Stage is filled with multiple scheduled performances and, when no performances are scheduled, Living Statues "perform" in the nearby Plaza. Opportunities to step into the art (for fun photo opportunities) are also presented in several locations around the park. Festival nights include three nightly performances of the new "Disney on Broadway" Concert Series that brings Broadway stars to the America Garden Theatre stage on the World Showcase Promenade performing Disney's Broadway songs accompanied by live musicians.
We provided full coverage of what you can find at the Festival, including many photos, video interviews with an artist and several of the Festival organizers, and a video of Broadway stars Ashley Brown (Disney's original Broadway Mary Poppins) and Josh Strickland (Disney's original Broadway Tarzan) performing the song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in an article published yesterday. The Festival runs through February 20, and is included with park admission (of course, some activities, souvenirs and other merchandise, food and beverages cost extra).
Only average mid-January crowds were on hand to greet the Festival's rainy first day, but Saturday saw crowds swell to levels we have seen at other Epcot Festivals on Saturdays and Sundays. Reports suggest that crowds remained large over on Sunday and during the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday on Monday as well.

"Star Wars: Galactic Nights" Special Event Coming To Disney's Hollywood Studios: One Night Only
Last week, Disney announced that a new one night only "Hollywood-inspired special event" called "Star Wars: Galactic Nights" will take place at Disney's Hollywood Studios on April 14, 2017, from 7 p.m. until midnight. In this new hard-ticketed event (whose oddly plural-form name suggests and a Disney Parks Blog author commented may be offered on additional nights in the future), guests are invited to dress as favorite characters "and celebrate forty years of Star Wars milestones" in much the same way that Star Wars Weekends used to do. (Given the restrictions on regular day guest costumes, specific costume rules apply and can be found on the Walt Disney World website on this page.)
Advertised festivities include (subject to revision or cancelation, of course):
- The Rebel Base will serve as the event hub with multiple events, hosted shows, Star Wars dance parties and more taking place in the center of the park.
- "Inside the Saga: Celebrity Chat Show" – a celebrity chat show in Epic Theater about the making of Star Wars films.
- Star Wars photo ops – iconic Star Wars backdrops, including Han Solo cast in carbonite, Jabba the Hutt's Palace, the Hoth Wampa Cave and more.
- Galactic Nights Stars in Cars Motorcade – A procession will welcome in Star Wars celebrities down Hollywood Boulevard.
- Imperial March & March of the First Order – The arrival of the Dark Side: Darth Vader will lead a battalion of stormtroopers on a march down Hollywood Boulevard to the event stage. Captain Phasma will also lead a unit of First Order stormtroopers through the park, pausing to give a demonstration of power and strength.
- Seize the Saga Interactive Scavenger Hunt – Collect Star Wars-themed pieces at the photo backdrops throughout the park, revealing a surprise when all items have been collected.
- "Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away" – Video clips of the film saga juxtaposed with character moments on stage, featuring Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren and more.
- "Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular" – The park's popular Star Wars-themed nighttime spectacular lights up the night.
Other popular attractions are also scheduled to remain open, including Star Wars Launch Bay and the Star Tours – The Adventures Continue attraction. Also expected are AWR Trooper sightings, roaming droids, Star Wars-themed food and beverages, special merchandise and more.
The Star Wars: Galactic Nights ticket costs $129 plus tax for adults and $124 plus tax for children ages 9 and under. Disney Vacation Club and Passholder discounts are available. Tickets are said to be extremely limited, but, as of Tuesday, January 17, 2017, appear to be available on the Walt Disney World website here. You also may call (407) 827-7036 for more information or to book tickets.
"Delicious Disney, A Chef Series" Continues in 2017
Dates are set for this year's "Delicious Disney, A Chef Series" where guests experience evenings filled with delicious cuisine prepared just for you by an award-winning culinarian from Walt Disney World Resort. As the Disney Parks Blog announced, "this year, the Walt Disney World Resort chefs launched a new dinner series to showcase the stellar talents of the culinary team; with unique and inspired culinary creations coupled with deliciously creative wine pairings." This year's theme is "storytelling with food."
Dinners are often intimate (no more than 60 guests), and the kickoff for 2017 will be Jan. 31 at Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom Park. Tickets for the January 31st event are $499/person, including tax and gratuity. Tables in Wonderland discounts are not available, but members do receive an exclusive gift.

Views Around the World
I took a few nice walks from Epcot and its International Gateway (the park's "back door") to Disney's Hollywood Studios this week. As usual, I took a few photos that may be of interest along the way, particularly some at sunset and dusk.

This and That
…The Characters in Flight tethered balloon, located on a platform on Village Lake in The Landings neighborhood of Disney Springs, debuted a new look last week. According to the Disney Parks Blog:
The balloon is updated every four years or so, giving the team the opportunity for a new look. [According to] Matthieu Gobbi, General Manager for Aerophile (the group responsible for operating the balloon), "the new balloon envelope was inspired by the springs and the element of water – it's very coherent, as the balloon floats in the air, then lands on the water of Lake Buena Vista." Indeed, the color palette, with soothing blues and a scrolling pattern that makes me think of gentle ripples in the water, fits seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of Disney Springs.

…Orlando Sentinel reports that Planet Hollywood Observatory finally may be set to open this weekend. We were unable to reach the restaurant's spokespeople to receive confirmation before publishing this Update.
…With the recent change to Magic Kingdom's park opening that we reported on in recent weeks—where Main Street U.S.A. opens before the park's scheduled opening time and a new welcome show is presented on the Castle Stage—Magic Kingdom announced that it is adding new quick-service breakfast options in coming weeks. It is not yet clear which locations (other than Main Street Bakery, aka Starbucks) will be open before the official park opening time, but the food locations that are expected to also have breakfast available daily until 11 a.m. include:
- Casey's Corner: serving muffins, bagels and a croissant donut, plus savory, "brunch-like" corn dog nuggets and the hash brown dog (literally, a hot dog on a bun topped by hash browns).
- Plaza Ice Cream Parlor: serving Mickey waffles; Kellogg's cereal; and donuts, plus a donut sundae consisting of a donut topped with Edy's ice cream, hot fudge, apple, whipped cream, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips and a cherry.
- Sleepy Hollow: serving a hot, freshly-made waffle topped with strawberries and whipped cream; plus a new egg, ham, and tomato waffle sandwich (expected later this month), and a fruit and chocolate-hazelnut waffle sandwich.
…Earlier this month, twelve new members were officially welcomed to the 2017 Disney Parks Moms Panel. This year's panel boasts an inclusive roster of trusted Disney advisors from all walks of life with unique experience. They hail rom Canada to Brazil and are parents of twins to those with special needs and beyond. Collectively, these everyday moms and dads join 19 other Disney-savvy travelers to provide guests with personalized recommendations on every Disney vacation escape and answer any imaginable trip-planning question. To meet the new panelists for 2017 and learn more about the Disney Parks Moms Panel, visit their official website.
