The creepy bunch cut up and caper on the castle stage in front of Cinderella Castle four times nightly as part of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The show is followed by a meet and greet with the Villains, many of whom are not available for greetings at other times in the Disney Theme Parks. time-honored tradition. “Everyone we talked to when we were creating Dia de los Muertos for Disneyland® Park had a story about how their family celebrates it,” says Designer Daniel Torres. “It’s been great to share those traditions with our Guests.” While you’re there, enjoy a lunch or snack of savory tamales, pumpkin flan and orange cake prepared especially for this celebration at the Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante. “People love the Disney Villains,” says Denise Case, Show Director. “But most of the time, our shows are about the Disney heroes and heroines. So we thought Halloween would be the perfect time to showcase our baddies, and make them the stars of the day—or night, in this case. You can just imagine the Villains saying �Can we talk about someone important—like US—for a change? We’re soooo tired of all those goody-goody sweet girls.’ Can’t you just hear them?” For the Thrill Seeker For more daring family members, a whirl through a “creeped out” cosmos is in order at Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy. “Instead of the usual star field, we’ve created images that make you feel as if a ghost made up of a nebula of stars is after you,” says Jeff Welton, Audio Design Director. “The ghost first sees you in the launch tube before you launch into space. He then chases you through the attraction. He’s very wily and even gets ahead of you. At one point his ghostly hand swipes at you. Even the exterior of the attraction gets involved with projections that make it look as if the ghost is trying to break out. It’s a lot of fun!” In 2013 the creative team added castle projections to the show. “It was the first time we had ever combined a live-action stage show with castle projections,” Denise says. “They make the castle look haunted, and during some of the song numbers, it looks as if the castle is dancing in a haunted disco. Even if you’re not at the castle, you can see the projections in the distance from a lot of places in the Park. The technology is crazy cool,” Denise laughs. “It never ceases to amaze me!” The show also includes a tremendous amount of pyrotechnics as well. These are the Villains, remember. They love nothing better than making sparks fly! Seeking More Screams Scares and screams can also be had at Disney California Adventure® Park. Drop in at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ or get your monster dance moves on at the Mad T Party in Hollywood Land, where Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum welcome Guests to a “Dead Man’s Party” featuring Halloween music and a chilling new look.

Imagining with Character What will your child declare for Halloween this year? I am a princess. I am a cowgirl. I am a superhero. I am a Space Ranger. You know they start thinking and talking about it months in advance—trying on new ideas as fast as you can say Mickey Mouse! “Costumes can create magic for kids of all ages. They give them the freedom to be as imaginative as they can, to think about themselves and the world in new ways and to try on different personas,” says Pritti Barrera, Senior Manager of Global Product Strategy, Disney Store. “A shy child might feel more confident when she’s dressed as a Disney Princess. A boy might feel strong and brave when he’s a superhero. Being �someone else’ can be very empowering.” Does your daughter love dreaming of faraway lands? Choose from beautifully designed gowns and accessories for some of your favorite Disney Princesses including a new Aurora gown inspired by the live-action film Maleficent. Is she a feisty spirit, a perky best friend or nurturing caregiver? Cowgirl Jessie, Tinker Bell, Doc McStuffins and Minnie Mouse may be just the ticket! If she is a royal in training, she can step out in style in a glamorous Sofia the First costume and instantly feel like a princess. Boys can feel big, brave, bold—and even bad—with Star Wars Stormtrooper and Darth Vader costumes, as well as Marvel characters including Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America and Spider-Man. Buzz Lightyear, Cowboy Woody, Mickey Mouse, characters from Planes: Fire & Rescue and Jake, means there is the perfect costume for every imagination.

So why not laugh about them? characters,” Pritti says. “You also have to think like a child. Kids know these stories and characters better than anyone else. They see the details—including some things a grown-up might not see, so those details have to be right. For instance, when we were working on a gown for Princess Sofia, we had to imagine we were like a little girl who loves her. We had to think about what it is that makes Sofia special to her, and then incorporate those things, like the light-up magical amulet, so the child believes she is Sofia when she puts the costume on.” “It’s the same with boys. When they wear the Darth Vader helmet and talk in a low voice, they’ve become Darth Vader in their imaginations. We add the details that they would see—like a real chain, not just printed, or 3D belts for the tools they would have in that character’s world.” Sometimes getting the details right can be very challenging. “We went back to the drawing board quite a few times for the Star Lord mask,” Pritti recalls. “We also had to search a long time to find the perfect fabric to print a worn leather texture on his jacket. But when it all works the way we want, it’s really exciting.” What’s Pritti’s tip for helping your child find the perfect Disney costume? “Oh, I believe in letting the child choose,” she says. “Letting them be whoever they want to be! It’s their time now to be as imaginative as they can, and that’s a very magical thing!” Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, in theaters October 10, 2014, 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 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 days. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn’t had one. The film is the first live-action adaptation of the award-winning illustrated children’s book by Judith Viorst. “I grew up reading this book as a kid,” recalls Rob Lieber, who’s behind the screen story and screenplay. “I always loved the underdog position Alexander feels he is in. I think every single adult and child can relate to that feeling of �nothing’s going right today. Why me?’ I know I often identify with Alexander myself!” vacation entertain But turning an illustrated children’s book into a full-length film can be challenging. “I had to do a lot of reinvention,” Rob explains. “The book has a great theme and charm, and I had to keep all of that and build a movie around it.” Rob met the challenge by giving everyone in Alexander’s family a bad day, so they are all just getting through their �worst day EVER’ together. Alexander’s brother is taking his driver’s test and getting ready for the Junior Prom. You can imagine how that turns out. His sister is playing the lead in a school production of Peter Pan and she doesn’t exactly soar. His mom botches an important presentation at work, and his dad is having a tough time juggling the demands of being a stay-at-home father while job hunting. “I felt it was very important to keep everything real,” Rob says. “No aliens crashing through the roof, nothing outrageous. Everything that happens in the movie could potentially happen in real life. They’re just normal, everyday events.” shop In theaters October 10, 2014 “People remember and love the book, so it was key to keep that feeling in the film,” continues Rob. “I wanted the film to be humorous and fun, but a story everyone can relate to and enjoy. After all, like Alexander says at the end of the book, we all know that �some days are like that…even in Australia.’” Luckily, you won’t have to go to Australia to enjoy the film.

Countdown to Fun I with the Pixar Play Parade magine monster cheerleaders, green army men and dancing ants, all having fun together at the same time. It’s the Pixar Play Parade at Disney California Adventure® Park. With Toy Story 2 celebrating its 15th Anniversary in 2014, and The Incredibles celebrating its 10th, this fall is a great time to discover—or rediscover—this big, bright, colorful celebration! The high-energy parade, which premiered on March 14, 2008, stars Characters from several Disney•Pixar films, including The Incredibles, Cars, Finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life and both Toy Story and Toy Story 2. The parade gets off to a booming start with a big bass drum wheeled down the parade route by Sulley, with help from Mike Wazowski and their mischief-making classmates from Monsters University. Parade designer Jody Daily suggested the opening as a tribute to classic Disneyland® Park parades, which were often led by Mickey Mouse banging a similar oversized instrument. In addition to dozens of Characters and five colorful floats and push units, over 100 dancers, acrobats, stilt walkers and stilt jumpers dance, prance, rock and roll to the upbeat rhythms of two songs composed especially for the parade, “Countdown to Fun” and “The Party’s On.” The infectious tunes were written by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil, who wrote some of the biggest hits for High School Musical. Developing the Pixar Play Parade took over 500 Cast Members nearly two years. “The idea was to take Disney•Pixar movies and interpret them as a kids’ playground in their own worlds,” says Steven Davison, Vice President of Shows, Parades and Spectaculars. “The parade has a great sense of childlike 8 Learn more at DisneyRewards.com FALL 2014 playfulness and humorous surprises like streams of playful bubbles and water squirters that mist and spray Guests.” “Adding water play to a parade was a new element,” says Robin Trowbridge, Show Director. “There were a lot of challenges involved, including how it would affect the performers. We dumped water and bubbles on the street and then danced around in all the different costume shoes to make sure they were slip-resistant.” With the longest parade route of any parade in all the Disney Theme Parks, there’s always lots of room to find a perfect viewing spot. The parade proceeds through Hollywood Land, down Buena Vista Street, past the entrance of Cars Land and all the way to Paradise Pier. In fact, why not count down to the parade by enjoying our Cardmember Meet �N’ Greet between 10:30am and 1:30pm, at Hollywood Land.8 Then take in some of your favorite attractions and shows along the parade route, see the 5:15pm parade as it winds through Paradise Pier, then enjoy 10% off dinner at the nearby Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill at Pacific Wharf or the Paradise Garden Grill (meal period and other restrictions may apply).6 Finally, take home some of your favorite Disney•Pixar pals with your Cardmember savings of 10% on select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at select locations.7 You’ll find Monsters, Inc. merchandise at The Studio Store in Hollywood Land, Toy Story toys at Midway Mercantile at Paradise Pier and Cars companions at Sarge’s Surplus and Radiator Springs Curios in Cars Land. They’re a perfect way to remember the fun you had. Plush toys are a favorite for kids of all ages to collect and love around the world. Now, there’s a whole new group of cuddly pals at select Disney Store locations and DisneyStore.com. Meet Disney Tsum Tsum (pronounced Tsoom Tsoom), the newest in over-the-top cuteness. Tsum Tsum means “stack stack” in Japan, where they were first introduced in late 2013. “I think their charm is in their rounded shape, bright colors and stylized features,” says Douglas Oglesby, Director of Global Product Strategy. “Animation artists will tell you that in character design, large heads with smaller bodies evoke a childlike feeling that is attractive to almost everyone. The Disney Tsum Tsum characters definitely fit into that category. They’re all head! They look very childlike and at the same time, quite sophisticated. You just want to pick them up and hold them.” Disney Tsum Tsum comes in three sizes from a mini 2” diameter to about 8” in diameter. As their name implies, they are designed to be stacked on top of one another so they can be displayed in a variety of ways. “We’ll be introducing new characters into the line on a regular basis,” Doug says. “So if your favorite characters aren’t in the first group, just wait. We are always looking to introduce new friends. We’ll also keep bringing back characters in new costumes and looks, so there will always be something to look forward to.” “For our Guests to have something that feels uniquely Disney, and also has that highly stylized aesthetic, is a entertain vacation shop special combination,” Doug adds. “I think Tsum Tsum represents the quality and excellence in design and construction that Disney Store is known for. We are never satisfied with the status quo. We’re always challenging ourselves to find new creative ideas like Tsum Tsum.” Doug recalls the moment the first shipment reached the Disney Store home office. “We opened the boxes and everyone just went wild about them. Work sort of came to a halt as everyone oohed and aahed.” For even more fun, a free mobile game app was launched in January 2014 in Japan and very quickly hit #1 in the App Store. In this fun, casual puzzle game, players match as many Tsums as possible in 60 seconds and compete with friends for high scores. “With millions of Guests playing Tsum Tsum on mobile every day in Japan, we couldn’t wait to introduce the mobile app to the rest of the world, and Tsum Tsum made its U.S. debut in July 2014 on iOS and Android platforms,” says Justin Scarpone, VP and GM of Disney Interactive Japan. “The game definitely adds another level of entertainment to your experience. And you can even use the smaller plush to clean your screen!” Doug adds. “As the world gets smaller, it’s exciting to me to think that we can bring our Guests a product that is truly global. It shows that we can create products that speak to our Guests no matter where they live.” “It’s really cool to think that someone in Japan is playing with, hugging and collecting the same thing you are,” Doug concludes.

For 19 years, Guests at the Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival have been delighting in the sights, sounds, aromas and tastes of authentic food and beverages from around the world, as well as enjoying culinary and mixology demonstrations and special events. This year the popular event has been extended to 53 days of delicious delights. “I participated as one of the chefs at the first festival,” recalls Marianne Hunnel, Area Manager, Park Event Content Developer. “It was a brilliant—and very bold—idea to hold a festival inside a Theme Park. Really a first! When we started, most of the Guests at Epcot® were very surprised, sort of an �Oh wow, there’s a festival going on! Who knew?’ Today Guests love the festival so much, they contact us way ahead of time about dates and events so they can plan their vacation around it. It’s really wonderful to see how it has grown.” “We started with about 20 food kiosks,” Marianne points out. “Now we have between 25 and 30. One of the other big evolutions is how the food is prepared and presented. When we began, we were cooking elsewhere and just serving on site. Now the chefs prepare the food right on site. It adds a whole other element to the event to see the chefs working and to smell the aromas filling the air.” Guests’ tastes have changed as well, according to Marianne. “Thanks to the number of on-air cooking and food shows, everyone is so knowledgeable about culinary trends such as farm-to-fork. Our chefs have a lot of fun coming up with new ideas to please them. But it’s a logistical challenge too. Just imagine creating a dish with fresh strawberries and then having to be sure you can get enough to feed thousands of Guests for 53 days! Mother Nature better cooperate!” This year, one of the new marketplaces, Patagonia, will be enticing Guests with such dishes as Verlasso salmon, a sustainable salmon harvested in Chile, 10 Learn more at DisneyRewards.com FALL 2014 and beef empanadas from Argentina as well as two wines from each country. The Puerto Rico marketplace is back by popular demand, and both it and the Brazil marketplace will be serving up new ambience and entertainment experiences.

Since April 22, 1998, Guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park at Walt Disney World® Resort have been thrilled by the show’s exuberance and spirit, making it the longest-running show at the Park. This spring, the popular 30-minute musical moved from its original location at Camp Minnie-Mickey to a brand-new air-conditioned venue in Harambe Village near Kilimanjaro Safaris®. Naturally, you’ll want to relax between nibbles, so take advantage of a delicious retreat and stop by the Chase Lounge, exclusively for Chase Cardmembers at the 19th Annual Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival. For more information about the Chase Lounge, visit DisneyRewards.com/FoodandWine. “I’m thrilled about our new location and new venue,” says Greg Wolfe, Producer with Creative Entertainment. “It’s as if our Guests are in an African village where a festival just happens to be taking place— and they’re part of it.” Not only are there great food, music and memories, the festival also dishes up a menu of special events you won’t want to miss. “The show is inspired by Disney’s The Lion King, but it doesn’t retell the story,” Greg explains. “Instead it builds on the momentum and the music of the film as Simba invites you to participate in the joyful energy of an African festival.” New this year is Dinner with Walt. The one-night-only event, on October 24, 2014, lets you share a night of memories with a beautiful art-and-music-filled tribute to the man whose storytelling genius changed the world. “The evening focuses on Walt as a person,” Marianne explains. “Our chefs are even developing a menu inspired by foods from those eras that he probably ate.” This event is sure to be a hot ticket, so pick up yours early when they go on sale. Can’t make it to Dinner with Walt? This year, the popular Party for the Senses, on October 25, 2014, features chefs from Disney Resorts and Theme Parks around the world, including Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, Hawai�i. Want to taste what other Disney Guests are enjoying elsewhere? This event’s for you! The show roars to life with a theaterrocking version of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” followed by a playful rendition of “Hakuna Matata”—a tune that’s perfect for an amazing display of comedic acrobatics by the Tumble Monkeys. To prepare for their wild, fast-paced routine, the acrobats trained extensively, even learning how to think and act like monkeys—including grooming giggling audience members in the front rows. The show swings from comedy to drama as tribal warriors on stilts stage a battle while another performer juggles fire to the darkly ominous “Be Prepared.” “Naturally we have to have a villain in the show,” Greg points out. “So the hyenas show up to create some menace and mayhem.” The mood lightens when aerialists perform a lyrical duet high above the audience to “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” A spirited finale brings the full cast together for a rousing rendition of “The Circle of Life,” that even involves selected audience members. “I love the entire show,” Greg says. “I’ve probably watched it more than 100 times, but this will always be one of my favorite moments. When we hit that song at the end, and everyone is on stage, Guests just have this look of awe and joy on their faces that’s wonderful to see.” “Festival of the Lion King” runs as often as 9 to 10 times a day, seven days a week. Check the daily Park schedule when you arrive for exact times. Greg suggests using your Fast Pass+ for your visit to Kilimanjaro Safaris® and “Festival of the Lion King.” Then make time to explore the marketplace, where you’ll find unique African crafts and enjoy live street performers.

At first glance you may think they’re not very powerful. But Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, the three good fairies from Walt Disney’s animated masterpiece Sleeping Beauty, have something Maleficent doesn’t have, doesn’t understand—and doesn’t take into account—the power of their hearts. As The Walt Disney Company celebrates the 55th Anniversary of Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, releasing for the first time on Diamond Edition Blu-ray™ and Digital HD on October 7, 2014, we thought it would be fun to look at how the young Princess’ three spunky, spirited and staunch allies developed. At the beginning Walt considered making the three good fairies identical like Huey, Dewey and Louie, Donald’s irrepressible nephews. “We thought �that’s not going to be any fun,’” recalled Disney Legend Ollie Johnston in the book “Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life” which he coauthored with Disney Legend Frank Thomas. “So we started working on how we could develop them into special personalities.” Frank and Ollie began studying older women to learn how they move and stand, think, feel and express emotion. “It’s the same thing we do with every character,” Frank said. Eventually three distinct personalities began to emerge. Flora, the tallest and largest fairy, is the unspoken leader. Voiced by Verna Felton (the Fairy Godmother in Walt Disney’s Cinderella), Flora is like a highly capable, no-nonsense matriarch. According to Frank and Ollie, “Flora dominates without realizing she is doing it. She’s just full of ideas, and the others usually follow them. Flora gets things done.” If Flora is the cool-headed planner, Merryweather is the hot-headed reactor. “Little Merryweather was a feisty little thing and got upset real easily,” Frank recalled. Voiced by Barbara Luddy (Lady in Walt Disney’s Lady and the Tramp), Merryweather is impetuous and childlike. A do-first, think-later fairy, Merryweather doesn’t always want to go along with Flora’s plans and loudly voices her objections. Luckily, sweet-tempered, kind-hearted Fauna (voiced by comedienne/writer Barbara Jo Allen) is there to balance the trio. FPO Interestingly, Fauna proved to be the most difficult to create, and her personality was elusive at first. It’s a bit hard to animate pure niceness, after all. you up, made you cry and laugh and been a part of your life since you can remember. They are the songs and music of Disney’s most cherished films. Inspiration for Fauna finally came from a lady Frank and Ollie met while on vacation. “She could be described as wispy, constantly smiling and twinkling-eyed,” Thomas said. “She loved everybody, thought beautiful thoughts, could scarcely conceive of wrongdoing and delighted in spreading what she considered to be sunshine. Here was a positive character who saw only good in everything and still lacked nothing in personality.” Presto—as if by the wave of a magic wand, Fauna came to life. Now, in tribute to these musical treasures, “Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection” was created, a series of albums featuring the original soundtracks of 12 of Disney’s most beloved animated classics. The first, The Lion King, debuted on June 24, 2014 in honor of the Academy Award®winning film’s 20th Anniversary. Three additional releases are planned in 2014: Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid. Eight releases slated for 2015 will honor Fantasia, Pinocchio, Cinderella and Toy Story, among others. Despite their comic scenes, the fairies’ are not foolish. “Finding entertainment in a personality does not mean making a clown out of that character,” Frank and Ollie explained. The challenge was always to create situations where the fairies’ individual traits could be brought out in an entertaining way. And for a limited time, as a Cardmember you can take advantage of the exclusive offer on page 15 to share your set of “Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection” with your family.10 “The three fairies really carry a lot of the action in the film,” said Disney Legend Floyd Norman in a recent interview. Floyd was a young animator at the time the film was in development. “When I was first assigned to work with Frank and Ollie animating the fairies, I thought �oh, I don’t want to draw little old ladies,’ but after working with them for two and a half years, I learned to love them.” Whether dominant, dithery or delightful, the three good fairies bring their individual strengths to their goal of protecting their darling “Briar Rose,” and if that means taking on Maleficent, well, they’ll try their best. Love gives them bravery much bigger than they are. Everyone should have friends like them on their side. Join us in celebrating the animated masterpiece of Sleeping Beauty. For a limited time, you can receive a free print, featuring Maleficent, with the purchase of a new D23 Gold or Silver Membership, courtesy of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club.9 See page 15 for offer details. FALL 2014 “About a year ago, we noticed that there were a number of significant Disney film anniversaries in 2014 and 2015,” says Rob Souriall, Vice President of Marketing for Walt Disney Records. “We realized this would be a wonderful time to celebrate the amazing music from these classic films in a special way.” “We wanted each of the albums in the “Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection” to be a collector’s piece in terms of both the album content and the art,” Rob continues. “So we went on a quest to find a fine artist who could re-envision the original album covers.” After an exhaustive search, the team found Lorelay Bove, a visual development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios who worked on Princess and the Frog and Wreck It Ralph. “Lorelay’s style is very fresh and unique,” Rob says. “It’s a little reminiscent of Mary Blair, one of Walt’s favorite development artists. We were delighted when Lorelay agreed to work on the collection with us.” Each album is as beautiful as the music it contains. Inside, an elegant book features rarely seen original film concept art from the Disney Archives and extensive, insightful liner notes. The Lion King album features notes by producer Don Hahn. The album also includes over 30 minutes of film score which has never been released before as well as bonus songs and demos. “For all the albums, we’re presenting the music in a way that hasn’t been done in many years by mixing the score and songs in the order in which they occurred in the film. It gives listeners the experience of hearing the music exactly as if they heard it in the film itself,” Rob explains. While it isn’t possible for all “Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection” releases, some will also include a fascinating addition entitled “The Lost Chords” which will feature songs that were written and recorded but not incorporated into the final films. “For instance, there are seven compositions which never made it into Mary Poppins, so Richard Sherman and Randy Thornton, our own musical history expert, went into the recording studio with a full orchestra and brought those lost songs to life.” “It’s a wonderful feeling to be part of the team working with this legendary music,” Rob says. “Our goal with every album in �Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection’ is to create something truly unique for those who love Disney music…something they’ll want to share with their kids and their grandkids. We want the collection to be as timeless as the music itself.” Treasure Them All 2014 June Aug Oct Nov 2015 Jan Feb Mar Apr May June Aug 13 12 Learn more at DisneyRewards.com You’ve sung them in the car and in the shower; you’ve danced to them with your sweetheart and rocked your babies to sleep to their calming melodies.
