Haunted Mansion Holiday: 14 Fun Facts You May Not Know

Haunted Mansion Holiday:
14 Frightfully Fun and Festive Facts to Share with Your Friends

It's hard to believe that this is the 14th year of Haunted Mansion Holiday, where Jack Skellington has visited the 999 Happy Haunts who dwell in the Haunted Mansion. Disney Parks Imagineers have perfected the festive blend of 'Scary' and 'Merry' transforming this beloved Disneyland attraction. Each year, Jack dresses up as “Sandy Claws” as he and his ghost dog Zero bring ghoulish delights from Halloween Town to visit Disneyland Park. You don't want to miss out on this unique holiday treat sure to delight your family and park goers of all ages.




1. Holiday Makeover – This frightfully awesome attraction has the longest holiday makeover of all. It doesn't go down once Halloween is over, since the theme is "A Nightmare Before Christmas" it stays up for the entire holiday season, this year until January 6, 2015. That is something to scream about!

2. Deck the Halls – Each season, thousands of feet of “Black Gnarly” garland is draped and hung inside and outside Haunted Mansion Holiday. Jack’s faithful dog Zero gathered more than 200 bones to use as décor, garland and presents. Now that's a good example of man's best friend!


3. The Eerie Exterior РMore than 400 flickering candles create a ghostly glow on the fa̤ade of the Haunted Mansion. Each night, more than 100 jack-o-lanterns shine their ghoulish light.

4. Home Creepy Home - Creepy cobwebs are artistically kept (not swept!) year-round to make Jack Skellington and the 999 Happy Haunts feel right at home. We can't figure out if this is more strange or just pure genius. No dusting required!

5. “Come Out to Socialize” - More than two dozen additional animated figures “materialize” inside the mansion whenever Jack brings his Haunted Mansion Holiday around. From man-eating wreaths to vampire teddy bears, they wait all year to join in the holiday spirit.


6. The Haunted Elevator – Jack Skellington and his ghost dog Zero appear in a fully animated sequence on the ceiling of the “stretching” room, which transports guests into the depths of the mansion.

7. The Portrait Gallery – Ghost dog Zero makes a surprise appearance among the spooky, transforming portraits in the gallery corridor. Look quickly down the hallway or you may just miss him.

8. The Graveyard – The graveyard inside Haunted Mansion Holiday is covered with nearly 7,500 square feet of snow. More than 20 gallons of UV (ultra-violet) paint is used to enhance the snow’s eerie glow. Nearly 1,000 tiny, orange lights decorate the trees.

9. Graveyard Ice Angels – The iconic Graveyard Ice Angels are designed with a jagged, ice-carved look. Their ethereal wings and snow-glow colors shine with a more ghoulish luster than ever this year.

10. Seasonal Séance Room - Madame Leota’s “13 Days of Christmas” are featured in 13 spinning fortune cards that tell of the Christmas gifts which, as she proclaims, “My ghoul love gave to me…”
Kim Irvine, daughter of the original Madame Leota – For this seasonal attraction, Imagineer Kim Irvine gives a spirited performance as the Haunted Mansion’s favorite psychic, floating inside the Haunted Mansion’s Crystal Ball in the Séance Room. Her mother Leota Toombs, Disney Legend and long-time Imagineer, first gave life to the floating head.


11. Supernatural Sweets – Every year, a new ghoulish concept for the Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house is created for the celebration scene in the mansion’s Grand Hall. This strange and wonderful treat is almost always “supernatural.”

12. Haunting Gingerbread Smells - The haunting scent of tasty gingerbread wafts throughout the Grand Hall, tempting Happy Haunts and guests alike. If you've ever smelled it, you know exactly what we are talking about. It delights the senses and makes you want to eat a gingerbread cookie!

13. Haunted Mansion Gingerbread House - One of Jack’s holiday traditions is leaving a special treat for the ghosts who dance around the Haunted Mansion’s Grand Hall. The annual centerpiece for this “waltz of the weird” is always a huge, creepy gingerbread creation. Jack delivers new and thrilling surprises every year. A team of five pastry chefs created this year’s Gingerbread Mansion. Three of them have been part of the Haunted Mansion Gingerbread House team since the annual holiday transformation began 13 years ago. The Ghost Host of Haunted Mansion Holiday always says, “even a gingerbread house can be scary,” and this year’s design definitely lives up to the “scary” definition. Of course, the Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house adds a little whimsy with a hapless gingerbread zombie trapped inside – and those frightening spikes are very sharp, red-and-white candy canes. The gingerbread house also will feature opening and closing doors and special lights.


14. ‘Hurry Back!’ – New for 2014, a more “animated” Sally bids farewell to “Sandy Claws” Jack Skellington as he, and Haunted Mansion Holiday guests, depart from the Mansion. While you ride on the last escalator as you are exiting the ride, make sure to listen for Sally and watch Zero leading the reindeer and sleigh. Your family will definitely want to "Hurry Back" to ride this beloved holiday attraction!

Cinderella Official Trailer and Movie Poster Reveals First Look

"CINDERELLA" OFFICIAL TRAILER
REVEALS FIRST LOOK AT THE LIVE-ACTION FILM
FROM WALT DISNEY STUDIOS.


One of Disney's most popular Princesses whose life is the ultimate fairy tale comes to life next Spring in Cinderella. So grab your glass slippers and leave your evil step mother at home. Remember, if you keep on believing the dreams that you wish will come true.

CINDERELLA opens in theaters March 13, 2015.
A live-action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale, “Cinderella” brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece as fully-realized characters in a visually-dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.


The movie poster above, featuring Lily James as Cinderella, was photographed by Annie Leibovitz exclusively for the film’s campaign. Additional photos by Annie Leibovitz featuring the cast from the film can be seen in the costume feature of Vogue magazine’s December issue, on stands now. 


From Walt Disney Studios:
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever.


Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Thor,” “Hamlet”) 
Starring Lily James (“Downton Abbey”), 
Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”)
Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Elizabeth”) 


Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter (“The King’s Speech,” “Alice in Wonderland”), “Cinderella” is produced by Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Elysium”),

David Barron (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”)
Executive produced by Tim Lewis (“Goldeneye”).

5 Reasons Your Child Will Love Petz Beach for Nintendo 3DS


We recently had the chance to try out a new Nintendo 3DS game called Petz Beach by Ubisoft, which just so happened to be a good fit for Jessica's 7 year old daughter, Kaia.

She loves animals. She loves gaming. It's a no brainer.

 

We're always looking for new ways to keep our kids busy while traveling to our next Disney Vacation. We load up our movies, kid apps on the mobile devices, charge up the Nintendo 3DS, and pack up the games for a journey filled with happy kids and happy parents! Sound familiar? It's great to find age appropriate games to help pass the time, Petz Beach for the Nintendo 3DS is just that. (Headphones and witch fingers, not included.) 


Here's our top 5 reasons your child (& you) will love Petz Beach: 
(Hint: It's the same reasons our child loved it.)

1.) Animals Galore - There are more than 50 different types of animals in the game from dogs and cats, to dolphins and whales. This was a real highlight for our nature girl!

2.) It's An Adventure - They can embark on the ultimate adventure in Petz Beach, from caring for a variety of animals, completing quests, expanding their villages, and connecting with other Petz owners. Because the environment in game changes with the seasons, the adventure lasts all year long!

3.) Learning Made Fun - This is one that us parents can feel good about! Through its partnership with Encyclopedia Britannica, Petz Beach incorporates learning along the way. As kids care for their pets and complete missions, they’ll learn facts about animals, plants and insects. Anytime that education is included in their gaming experience, it's a bonus.

4.) The Game Expands As They Play - As players explore the town and meet new neighbors with their pets, the game expands and grows. Helping new friends will expand the village as the game progresses.

5.) Pet Simulation - Even though we already have a dog, Kaia is always asking to get another pet. With this game she can get the feeling like she has many different pets that she gets to choose, then name, and spend time with all with no mess involved. Hopefully this will keep her asking for a puppy for Christmas at bay. Wish us luck!

This game is a hit in our house. If your child is a Petz fan, you may also want to check out the new Petz Countryside, allowing them to enjoy the same fun gameplay in a whole new environment! Plus both games are rated "E" for everyone, so there's no need to worry about who can play these family friendly games.

The holiday season is upon us, sending parents (us included) everywhere into a shopping frenzy. (Seriously guys, it's already mid-November) Shopping online can be a helpful shortcut. You can purchase your Petz Beach or Petz Countryside here. We think these are both good gift ideas for the gamer in your family. Easy peasy.
