Hang on to your hats and glasses because there’s a new signature suite at the Disneyland Hotel – the Big Thunder Suite. This new suite will now be added to the other unique suites located on the 11th floor of the Dreams Tower.  There is also the Fairy Tale Suite, Mickey Mouse Penthouse and Pirates of the Caribbean Suite. All suites boast a distinct design, luxurious amenities and amazing views.

The Big Thunder Suite is the wildest suite in the wilderness and immerses up to six pioneers in 1,400-square-feet of luxurious rustic accommodations inspired by the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction at Disneyland park.

Big Thunder Suite Bedroom

Howling wolves sound to the push of the suite’s doorbell as guests step into a mine shaft foyer inlaid with Fool’s Gold and hear the rumble of a passing runaway mine train. A button on the wall can be pushed to trigger sound effects from the attraction. The mine shaft leads into a living and dining area that separates the suite’s two bedrooms. In many rooms, repurposed wood from a Midwestern barn is used as flooring and paneling, which is complimented by textured earthen walls.

Big Thunder Suite Dining Room

A stone-hearth fireplace in the living area serves as the suite’s centerpiece and houses a mounted flat-panel television. When not in use, the TV is cleverly concealed by one of the many pieces of attraction concept art found throughout the suite. The living area also includes a surround sound-stereo system and displays antique tools once used for mining gold, including an 1850s gold scale and pan.

The centerpiece of the dining area is a knotted table with seating for eight, with a wagon-wheel chandelier. Nearby is a wet bar made of petrified wood and above the bar hangs a “living portrait” of a gold miner who magically changes activities over the course of the day.

Rustic décor belies the luxurious amenities found in the suite’s two bedrooms. The master bedroom is appointed with a desk, sitting area, TV and king-sized bed with a commanding headboard made of rich wood, brown leather and exposed brackets.

The master bath is revealed through a sliding barn door, where a free-standing copper tub is surrounded by a dramatic stone wall. The tub’s copper finish matches the copper piping in the adjacent steam shower, which is tiled with an earth-tone mosaic. A television is concealed behind the mirror above the bathroom’s bucket sinks.

I am so excited!!  World of Color is coming very very soon.  I will be visiting Disneyland July 4th thru the 10th and just made reservations for Preferred Viewing with Dinner at Ariels Grotto!!

Here are some tips for the new show!

There are three ways to secure a spot for the show:

  • “World of Color” Disney’s FASTPASS Ticket – FASTPASS tickets for “World of Color” will be available each morning at the Grizzly River Run FASTPASS terminals. Guests can insert their park tickets into the terminal to obtain a FASTPASS ticket to view “World of Color.” As with other FASTPASS attractions, there will be a limited number of FASTPASS tickets available for the show. Note: guests will not be able to pick a specific show time. FASTPASS tickets will first be distributed for the earlier show, and after those have been distributed, FASTPASS tickets will then be distributed for the later show. When all of the day’s “World of Color” FASTPASS tickets have been distributed, Grizzly River Run terminals will convert back to distributing Grizzly River Run FASTPASS tickets.
    • Tip: If you would like to see the show on the day of its premiere, June 11, here are a few things you should know about getting a “World of Color” FASTPASS ticket. If you arrive before park opening, you may park in the Pumba parking lot on Disney Way and, beginning at 7 a.m., gather at the Main Entrance to Disney California Adventure park. When Disney California Adventure park opens to the public, guests lined up for FASTPASS will be walked into the park and over to the FASTPASS terminals. As always, theme park admission will be required to enter the park to obtain a FASTPASS ticket and to view the show.
  • “World of Color” Picnic Meals – You can also secure reserved viewing by ordering a special boxed picnic meal. Picnic meals may be ordered online – www.disneyland.com – beginning June 11 (date subject to change) or by walk-up purchase, subject to availability, at the Sonoma Terrace, Golden Vine Winery. They are not available for order via the (714) 781-DINE line.
    • Online orders may be placed up to 60 days in advance but may not be placed on the same day as redemption. The meals may be picked up at the Sonoma Terrace from 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
    • Subject to availability, guests who order Picnic meals online will be assigned to the evening’s first show, and guests who make a walk-up purchase will be assigned to that evening’s second show.
    • Picnic meal options include four selections for adults: “The All American” (cold honey-stung fried chicken), “The Taste of Asia” (chilled miso-glazed salmon), “The European Antipasto” (cured meats, regional cheeses, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomato) and “The Mediterranean Vegetarian” (marinated grilled vegetables in a whole wheat wrap with roasted garlic hummus). Kids’ options for chidren ages 3-9 include “The Junior All American” (chicken), “The Lunchbox Classic” (peanut butter and jelly) and “The Little Squirt’s Box” (apple wedges, string cheese).
    • All picnic meals with “World of Color” Reserved Viewing are priced at $14.99 and must be redeemed for the designated reserved show date and time. No refunds, exchanges or other discounts.
    • Each guest entering the reserved viewing area must have reserved viewing area admission. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Guests may only enter the viewing area during designated times and no early or late admission will be allowed. Guests in large parties may not be guaranteed admission within the same reserved viewing area. Separate theme park admission is required.
  • Prix Fixe “World of Color” Dinners – Prix fixe meals with “World of Color” Preferred Reserved Viewing are available at both the newly redesigned Wine Country Trattoria and Ariel’s Grotto restaurants. Guests may order from a selection of Italian cuisine at Wine Country Trattoria ($39.99 for adults; $12.99 for children ages 3-9), or a varied menu of seafood, meat and vegetarian options at Ariel’s Grotto ($36.99 for adults; $20.99 for children ages 3-9). Both restaurants offer Preferred Reserved Viewing for “World of Color.” Reservations: (714) 781-DINE. Seatings are at specified times and space is limited. No early or late admissions. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds, exchanges or other discounts. Separate theme park admission is required.

““Summer Nightastic!” Returns!

Beginning June 11, “Summer Nightastic!” returns to the Disneyland Resort, featuring exciting evening events that will electrify the night. “Summer Nightastic!” runs through Aug. 29 at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure theme parks.

Headlining the entertainment is the new nighttime water spectacular – “World of Color” – at Disney’s California Adventure park. Surpassing all previous water productions, “World of Color” brings Disney animation to life with powerful fountains that are the stars of the show, forming the world’s largest projected water screen. In the making since 2005, “World of Color” combines hundreds of magnificent fountains, LED-produced dazzling colors, and an all-new kaleidoscope of audio and visual effects to take water-infused entertainment to a new level of artistry.

Located in Paradise Bay, Disney’s newest production features an unprecedented infrastructure of water effects, larger-than-life projections, lasers, fire, fog, surround sound and stunning images. This technical wizardry, combined with classic, animated Disney and Disney•Pixar film sequences, creates an emotional experience for guests as jaw-dropping effects sweep across the lagoon and soar into the sky.

Meanwhile, at Disneyland park, “Fantasmic!” ignites the night with thrills, life-like creatures including a fire-breathing dragon, and spine-tingling adventures for Sorcerer Mickey. Also, in the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle, “Magical” sparks to life with a dazzling fireworks spectacular in which colorful choreographed pyrotechnics burst and soar to a soundtrack of celebratory Disney songs. “Magical,” which premiered in summer 2009, features both Tinker Bell and Dumbo in flight over the castle.”

There’s something for everyone during the holidays at Disneyland.  Here are the top 10 holiday experiences in the Parks.

DLR_Holidays

10. Watching the reindeer play in their corral and visiting Santa Claus at “Santa’s Reindeer Round-up” in Big Thunder Ranch.

9. Walking through the Parks and looking at all of the decorations, including the 300,000 lights on “it’s a small world” holiday, the icicles on Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, the giant Christmas tree on Main Street, U.S.A. and the oversized ornaments in “a bug’s land.”

8. Exploring the shops in both parks and finding the perfect Disney ornament to give to friends.

7. Sitting on a bench, eating a big gingerbread cookie from the Blue Ribbon Bakery and watching families celebrate at the parks.

6. Finding the ideal location to take a holiday photo with my mom (The giant Christmas tree on Main Street is always a winner, and we’ve found some fun spots in “Santa’s Reindeer Round-up,” too).

5. Listening to the carolers on Main Street, U.S.A.

4. Watching “A Christmas Fantasy” parade and imagining that I’m graceful enough to dance like those performers.

3. Sailing through “it’s a small world” holiday with a little kid. I love the experience even more when I can also experience it through a child’s eyes.

2. Experiencing Haunted Mansion Holiday featuring Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

1. Drinking hot cocoa while watching “Believe…in Holiday Magic” fireworks show, listening to a touching rendition of “White Christmas,” and waiting for the nightly snowfall to cascade around me.

Top ten choices for family vacations:

 

top family vacation spot - Orlando Orlando:
Theme park capital of the world, and home to dozens of great places to stay. Your kids can even play on sandy beaches in land-locked Orlando: a number of resorts have “beach pools”. Read about Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, other attractions; NickHotel with two waterparks and much themed fun; Orlando at Christmas; and more.

Orlando-Theme park capital of the world, and home to dozens of great places to stay. Your kids can even play on sandy beaches in land-locked Orlando: a number of resorts have “beach pools”. Read about Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, other attractions; NickHotel with two waterparks and much themed fun; Orlando at Christmas; and more.

 

Cancun and Mayan Riviera
Two hot vacation spots, in one: stay in Cancun, visit Riviera Maya attractions; or stay in the Riviera Maya and day-trip to Cancun. Cancun’s 25-kilometer Hotel Zone is a magnet for those who want shopping, dining, and urban pleasures with their beaches; many families stay at ancun’s all-inclusive resorts. (Tip: for a quieter location, try Club Med Cancun Yucatan, on its own peninsula at the edge of the hotel strip.) To the south, the very different 100-km Mayan Riviera has its own all-inclusives plus wonderful activities: visit Mayan ruins, snorkel on the world’s second-largest barrier reef, swim in “cenotes”; visit Xcaret eco-theme park.

 

Caribbean All-Inclusive Resorts
Caribbean all-inclusives are a popular choice for families, who love the beaches, watersports, and kids clubs; some resorts take kids programs above and beyond. 
 

Williamsburg VA
Combine educational fun at Colonial Williamsburg with just-plain-fun at the nearby Busch Gardens Europe theme park and (in summer) Water Country USA giant waterpark. History comes to life in Colonial Williamsburg: actors and volunteers portray people from 230-odd years ago, bringing to life the 1770’s just before the American Revolution. Yorktown and other historical areas can be easily visited on the same trip.

 

Arizona
First: iconic scenery, such as awesome Monument Valley, where you can also learn about the Navajo. Lake Powell is stunning too: go houseboating on this million-acre lake in a flooded canyon. Do an easy raft ride down the Colorado River in a red-rock canyon; or a whitewater raft adventure in the famous Grand Canyon, which you can also explore by a mule ride or helicopter flightseeing. Take the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams Arizona, where Route 66 still lives (and so does the Wild West.) Not to mention dude ranches and family resorts…

 

Myrtle Beach and Other South Carolina
South Carolina is the #2 state for tourism after Florida, with Myrtle Beach the biggest vacation spot with over 13M visitors a year. Myrtle Beach sits in a 60-mile stretch of beaches called the Grand Strand, and is is a budget-friendly, family-friendly place; many hotels have kids activities. The area has water parks, amusement park, dinner shows (such as Medieval Times), and other family entertainment; the Hard Rock Park will open in 2008. Hilton Head Island is another top vacation spot in S. Carolina.

 

Hershey PA
Three hours from NYC, 90 mins from Phillie, “Chocolate Town USA” offers Hersheypark (voted top amusement park by FamilyFun Magazine); Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park; the Hotel Hershey, a grand old hotel with kid’s club; Hershey Lodge; Hershey’s Chocolate World Visitors Center; and more.

 

Wisconsin Dells
Wisconsin Dells– with a population of just 4000– is the indoor water park capital of the world. Over twenty resorts offer an indoor water park to their guests; some sell passes to outsiders too. A number have outdoor facilities in summer also.

 

Southern California Vacation Spots
Anaheim, in the LA area, is home to Disneyland, a much smaller complex than Disney World, but a great family vacation spot with Magic Kingdom and California Adventure theme parks. Nearby is Universal Studios Hollywood theme park with move-based attractions. South of LA is Legoland California, with rides, live shows, and mini-lands made from millions of Lego blocks; location just 1/2 hr. from San Diego — another great vacation spot.

 

Oahu Hawaii
Oahu is a mere 597 sq. miles, but families will find plenty to do. Most of the action is in the south, around Waikiki; the north is very different, less developed, and well worth visiting. Check out: boat trips, wild dolphins, surf lessons (even for eight-year-olds), Atlantis submarine outing, Pearl Harbor, luaus… even “soaring” in a sporty little glider, with beautiful coast below.
