Writer's note: I'm back from Castaway Cay and Nassau.
As I said would be the case in the Writer's note last week, I did not have my usual opportunities to wander around Walt Disney World Resort this past week because Disney invited members of the media (including me) to sail aboard the Disney Dream for three nights to experience and learn about what Disney Cruise Line has to offer. I learned a great deal and had a great deal of fun sharing pieces with our readers with a lot more to come. For a quick review of the highlights shared so far (and your convenience) I have gathered together all of my #DisneyCruise tweets from the voyage into a Twitter "Moment" (which is embedded at the end of the Views below), and there is more to see over on the MousePlanet Facebook Page.
My short story about my first ever cruise (on any line, including DCL) is: I had a great time, made a whole bunch of happy memories with friends in a really short time, and have a lot more to share. Stay tuned to MousePlanet for a full article coming in February. Why so long from now, you may ask? Well, I have also been invited to an in-port look at DCL's Disney Fantasy next week to sample a little bit of its latest Star Wars Day at Sea offerings on select cruises to provide you with a look at that too.
A few quick news items around Walt Disney World Resort this week and even a brief One Passholder's Tip are in this week's Update.

Minnie Mouse Gets Hollywood Send-off and Honor
Minnie Mouse was honored yesterday with a star on Hollywood Boulevard in California. Before that, she was sent off from Disney's Hollywood Studios with a flourish where the park encouraged as many guests as possible to dress in Minnie Dots (her signature red, white, and black polka dots) that day. The promotion was called #RockYourDots.

Yesterday, January 22, in Hollywood, California, Disney CEO Bob Iger presided over a ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame to honor Minnie with the star. Pop Star Katy Perry appeared as well. Minnie's star is located in front of Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre.

And, of course, every good Disney celebration includes celebratory merchandise. Disney Parks Blog announced a new line of merchandise available on both coasts to help you celebrate Minnie-style: from Dooney & Bourke handbags to ear bands to more subtle items; the new items join existing products like the classic Minnie Mouse dress. Select items are also available on ShopDisney.com. Limited release shirts are available through January 26 on ShopDisney.com/ParkEvents.
NFL Pro Bowl Week Gets Underway at ESPN Wide World of Sports
With the NFL Pro Bowl returning to Orlando's Camping World Stadium (formerly, the Orlando Citrus Bowl) this weekend, Walt Disney World Resort is again participating in the festivities by hosting Pro Bowl Week activities at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Many events are free and open to the public. Some events, like the 2018 Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, require (free) tickets—check the registration page on 1iota.com, the audience coordinator's website.
The NFL Pro Bowl Experience returns to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex again this year on Wednesday, starting at 10:00 a.m. each day, including some new football-related activities, exhibits, and sponsors. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex will host a fun run at the Track & Field Complex. Complimentary parking is available at the complex.
Over at Disney Springs, there will be a Pro Bowl All-Star Pep Rally on Saturday January 27 starting at 4 p.m. It will include special entertainment, games, NFL cheerleaders and mascots, and more. Visit NFL.com/probowl for more information about all of the events and to purchase tickets to the game at Camping World Stadium.
Epcot Concert News & Calendar
The America Gardens Theatre on the shore of World Showcase Lagoon opposite the entrance to The American Adventure is home to numerous shows throughout the year. During the Epcot International Festival of the Arts, the Disney on Broadway Concert Series takes the stage three times nightly on Fridays through Mondays until February 19. Remember that Passholders can get wristbands at The American Adventure Pavilion on a first-come, first-served basis, at least one hour prior to the show that you wish to attend, for up to four reserved seats for the Disney on Broadway Concert Series performances (annual pass card and a valid photo ID required). All guests can get guaranteed reserved seating with a dining package.
The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival gets underway on February 28, and its Garden Rocks Concert Series kicks off at the America Gardens Theatre on March 2. Returning acts include Night Ranger (“Sister Christian”) which opens the series March 2-5, and The Spinners, known for “Working My Way Back To You,” the final Festival weekend May 25-28. Several new bands will perform at Epcot for the first time: Foghat (“Slow Ride”); Smash Mouth (“All Star”); Lonestar (“Amazed”); and Don Felder, formerly of The Eagles (“Hotel California”). Other bands new to the Garden Rocks series will be Rick Springfield (“Jessie's Girl”), Survivor (“Eye of the Tiger”) and Jo Dee Messina (“Stand Beside Me”).
For the convenience of our readers, we list all of the performances in our Google Calendar of Epcot Events. You can also add it to any Calendar that supports the iCal format (like iPhone and Mac) by copying this link.
The calendar is provided "As is, where is" and without any guarantees, as a courtesy. Given the effort it took to create it, we do respectfully request that you do not post our entire calendar on another site without first asking our permission. We do not know why Walt Disney World Resort has not created this sort of functionality outside of the My Disney Experience app itself.

One Passholder's Tip
This section of the Update provides our MousePlanet readers with the benefit of my years of experience as a longtime Walt Disney World Four Parks Annual Passholder, and lots of personal trial and errors, one (at least monthly) tip at a time.
One Passholder's Tip #40
Visiting Walt Disney World in Winter requires more layers of clothing than you might expect, so pack accordingly!
When I used to vacation at Walt Disney World Resort as a Chicagoan in late December and early January, I always had at least the winter attire I needed for the trip to and from home to the airport. Back in the earliest years of those trips, I did not fully appreciate just how much of a range in temperatures the Central Florida region can see during the winter. After all, isn't it "because it's warm in winter" the answer to why Florida is the home of "snowbirds?"
As local weather forecasters regularly remind visitors to the region at this time of year, it is not unusual to have a few days of at or slightly below freezing temperatures even as far south as Kissimmee and, perhaps, a bit further south than that. In other words, Walt Disney World sits right around the occasional freeze line.
Of course, unlike areas further north, it is highly unlikely that "freezing" cold temperatures persist for more than two or three consecutive days. That is why I felt there was the need for this installment of the One Passholder's Tip. This very week serves as a great example of the range of temperatures which have gone from a low of around 28º to a high of around 82º F. That's right - from below freezing to shorts-comfortable all in a seven-day span.
Back when I lived in Chicago, during Spring and Fall, it was not unusual to start the day with having the heat on, turning it off and, if possible, switching on the air conditioning until around sunset, and, then, switching the heat back on overnight. Well, here in Central Florida, that scenario becomes possible for a day or two at a time.
What all this weather talk really boils down to is that when visiting the parks in winter, pack not only a variety of "weights" of clothing, but pack clothes that can be layered. Based on my experience, there are days where you may wear three or four layers in the morning, get down to the short-sleves t-shirt layer around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and then get so cold that you may even to decide to buy a thick (and expensive but cute) Grumpy sweatshirt (I speak from experience and still wear it from time to time), or a knit hat, or scarf or such. When you do that, you just need to figure out what you can do with the layers you shed along the way. Shopping bags can come in handy for that…
Anyway, your mileage may vary, so be governed accordingly.
This and That
…Last week, we inadvertently failed to note the debut of new background music at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Following the end of the holiday season at the park, as of January 11, updated music around the park includes big band arrangements of familiar Disney tunes at the main entrance, and popular songs from the 1930s and 1940s as you proceed down Hollywood Boulevard approaching the Chinese Theater. Disney says that around the park, "From brassy horns near Echo Lake and jazz at the BaseLine Tap House, to the sounds of live performances outside Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, it's music to your ears!"
…Remember, as we reported last week: the World of Disney store at Disney Spring will begin to undergo phased refurbishment in mid-February. While parts of the store are expected to remain open, a new store, The Disney Corner, will open in the Town Center area (near the Lime Garage entrance) to sell select merchandise during the renovations. Also, the Ever After Jewelry Co. (formerly, the D-Living store) will remain open during the World of Disney store refurbishments. The phased work is expected to continue throughout 2018.
…And, a final reminder that coming up in Downtown Orlando at Dr. Phillips Center in the Walt Disney Theater on February 1 at 7:30 p.m., the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra performs Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - in Concert. The website still showed ticket availability as we prepared to publish this Update. Regular readers will recall that I paid to attend the concert performance of Star Wars: A New Hope back in fall and thoroughly enjoyed it; I have bought a ticket to this concert as well.
Even further beyond Walt Disney World Resort, Adventures by Disney announced a new Seine River Cruise in France beginning in summer 2019. The 10-day, 9-night trip includes 2 days in Paris by land, followed by eight days of river cruising to Normandy, Conflans, Vernon and more. Passangers sail aboard AmaWaterways, a "premier luxury" river cruise line in Europe. Adult-only, food-focused sailings will begin in 2019. Between family and adult-only departures on the Danube, Rhine, and now the Siene, Adventures by Disney will offer more river cruises in 2019 (21 total) than at any earlier time. Visit AdventuresByDisney.com for more information and booking options.

Just a thought on the Orlando cold... if you think you'll be able to buy a shirt or sweatshirt w hen you get here, think again- at least on property. Living in Orlando now, I visited over to Disney Springs and Epcot during our cold patches the last month or so. Pretty much all of Disney Springs except for the high end was sold out for long sleeve T's and sweatshirts and MouseGear was equally sparse. So if you're coming to Orlando in winter, bring your own sweatshirt.
Is that photo of the little suitcase sitting on top of a vending machine by the bus stops outside the studio?
That's good advice. On the colder days or when they are coming, the stores do seem to have a lot of long sleeve merchandise out earlier in the day. You very well can see empty racks at night.
Regards,
Alan
No. It is inside the park. It is obscure enough that I probably would not know it if I had not taken the photo!
Regards,
Alan
Maybe somewhere at Oscar's Super Service?
Nope. I’ll post the answer next week.

Muppets shop?
Yes! Well done!
