Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom officially announced

September 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Over the past few months there have been rumors online about a new interactive game for The Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.  Today the Disney Parks Blog made it official:

Today, we’re thrilled to share plans for a new role-playing adventure coming to Walt Disney World called Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. This is going to be fun – and it’s all happening inside the park. Merlin the magician will recruit guests to become apprentice sorcerers and then help them with maps and clues that show where and how to defeat an army of Disney villains.

Looks interesting, right? Work on this new adventure is already underway. You may notice a few giant crates and even some new spaces showing up throughout Adventureland. They’ll provide early clues to the challenge you’ll face while trying to save the Magic Kingdom. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is scheduled to debut in early 2012. And we’ll be sharing more details in the future so keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for updates.

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room is Back at The Magic Kingdom

August 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Iago and Zazu… those pesky birds.  They angered the Tiki Gods with all of the celebrating.  Back in January the Gods set, “Under New Management” ablaze and nobody cried.  But this last weekend saw the return of the original classic back to entertain guests for many years to come. Except for one thing, it’s not exactly the same.

As Disney put it, it’s more of a tribute show as certain elements from the original has been left out.  The Enchanted fountain for instance.  But still, a Tiki Room running at 90% is better than no Tiki room OR Under New Management.

Here is a little behind the scenes video the Disney Parks Blog put together:

Good stuff!  Let’s try not to anger the Gods again.
