Blogging for Three Years!

Yesterday was very special because it marked the anniversary of when I started this blog. Yesterday, we celebrated three years!

Reaction: crowd cheers!
Source missing.

For a Media Writing assignment back in 2012, I wrote my first post on January 14. I didn’t know what lay ahead for me and had no idea I was in for a great ride!

In honor of the occasion, I look back at 2014 and ahead at 2015 in the video below.

Obviously, the biggest change this year will be the eventual change in name! I personally am leaning toward Molly Loves Mouse, but since I’m writing the blog for YOU, your opinion matters. So please vote below for your pick of the two potential names!

Which name do you prefer?

As always, THANK YOU to all my loverlies: my fans, my family, my friends, all the strangers who find me on Google. Every single time you click on my blog, you make my day 100x better. This blog wouldn’t be possible without all of YOU.

And as is tradition, here are my annual follower/fan numbers – look how we’ve grown!

Join me for another year as we continue to celebrate the magic of Disney! ttfn!

Disneyland’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Dark Ride Updated with Digital Projections

(Whew, long title.)

Yesterday, Disneyland reopened the Alice in Wonderland dark ride, which had been updated with digital projections. The update also took care of some safety issues, after a cast member slipped in 2010.

Image from Wikipedia.

Inside the Magic took a POV video of the new ride:

Both videos from YouTube.

To understand the changes, here is Inside the Magic’s explanation followed by a video of the previous version of the dark ride.

Besides the safety enhancements, WDI took the rehab time to install several new Alice figures and many new digitally projected effects. New effects can be seen immediately as one rides down the rabbit hole into the attraction. A fully animated scene from the movie is projected onto a set piece showing Alice chasing after the White Rabbit. There are several more projected animated bits in the flower section and in the Queen of Hearts section.

None of the figures feature video-projected heads, like those seen in the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, despite the rumors on other Disney fan sites.

The newly rebuilt down ramp still features the twists and turns regular Disneyland visitors remember, albeit on a wider track. The new rails on the exit (left) side of the vehicles reflect the vine architecture of the exterior. There is also a digitally projected animated tea party seen when entering the final scene at the bottom of the down ramp.

Check out Inside the Magic’s article for more, including a former Imagineer’s opinion of the changes.

ttfn!

***UPDATE***

Here's a video my friend Sara shared on her blog, The Disney Den. It provides a side-by-side comparison of the old and the new. Enjoy!

Vote for a New Name for this Maleficent Plush!

I ordered this Funko Pop! Maleficent plush from Disney Movie Rewards, and she arrived while I was in Florida.

Video from YouTube. The Disney Freak’s Blog original video.

I’ll have another post with pictures and everything, but before that, I wanted your help in choosing her new name!

The first two options are my mother’s suggestions, which I think are pretty cute, but I offered another option for you to suggest your own idea.

What name should we give Molly's new Funko Pop! Maleficent plush?

ttfn!

What’s the Best Kind of Music?

I’ve shared with you before how my dorm “neighbor” would have little polls on her whiteboard outside her dorm room. I thought I’d share another one she did that was Disney-related.

This particular time, she was doing a poll on the best kind of music. When I saw the options, I knew one was missing.

So I wrote in “Disney”.

Did it win?

See for yourself, below:

Country music beat it...sad, isn't it?

What would you have voted?

Who’s the Hottest Disney Prince?

Or maybe just the cutest….

A college friend just two doors down from my dorm always has a fun poll on her whiteboard by her door. One day it happened to be on the Disney Princes.

Cellphone picture if I remember correctly -- sorry for
bad quality!

Who would you vote for?

And who did I vote for? Guess.

ttfn!

Wondering who that is in the bottom right corner? I accidentally spelled his name wrong but he’s this guy.
