My weekly slideshow video of what's new at Orlando parks and resorts, hosted by Attractions Magazine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkpt37SaNG0&list=PL6B1381A87EA427F0&index=29&feature=plpp_video
Here is the video directly:
Description:
It’s a banner week in Orlando, when that rarest of events occurred: the opening of a new full-sized Disney addition.
More than a ride, a new resort hotel is a bigger deal, and it doesn’t
happen often these days (compared to the 1990s). The Art of Animation
replaces the second half of Pop Century, and it’s extremely well-themed.
We take a look around in photos.
Snow White’s Scary Adventures
closed this week, and the Disney parks saw other small changes such as
new signs at Dumbo and Storybook Circus. Car Masters Weekend at Downtown
Disney brought a classic car show and other goodies. And the Highland
Games opened at Epcot’s rose garden to celebrate the upcoming movie
Brave.
Outside of Disney, Wet ‘n Wild opened its new Blastaway
Beach, a kiddie water playground that is just as welcoming for adults as
it is for kids. What a week of new stuff!
Note that many of these topics will have their own blog posts later this here right here on Ultimate Orlando as well.
