Disneyland Paris

On April 12, 2017, Disneyland Paris will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. This means there will be a celebration with "starry decorations and exclusive shows, to a reimagined daytime Disney Stars on Parade and a dazzling Disney Illuminations nighttime show featuring Le Château de La Belle au Bois Dormant." Along with that, some of the rides are being improved for the guests. Peter Pan's Flight, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, and Space Mountain are all being changed in time for the 25th anniversary.  

I have never been to Disneyland Paris but hope to go someday in the next few years. I want to travel to Europe and visit Italy, Paris, and Germany. I also wish to some day go to every Disney park that I have yet to go to (Florida's Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Hong Hong Disneyland, Shanghai Disney Resort, and Tokyo Disney Resort).

Blog Review

I recently found The Disney Blog and really enjoy it. It is run by many different men and women. This blog is wonderful and they have many posts about what is currently happing in "Disney news." They have many different easy to navigate sections of their blog including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Television, Pixar Films, Star Wars, Marvel, Movies, Disney Animation, and Flordia Attractions. This blog is well put together and contains a lot of information. They post multiple times a day with through posts about any topic they are talking about. This is nice because each post contains a lot of information and shows they really know what they are talking about. There is only one thing that I do not like about this blog. I do not like the advertisements on the side of the page. It makes it look a little tacky because they do not all involve Disney. I think it would look better if they were Disney advertisements, considering this is a Disney blog, but they aren't. They are just regular ads that can be found on any other pages. I definitely recommend you following up with this blog as it contains many different posts for a fellow Disney lover. 

Trump Animatronic in Walt Disney World's Hall of Presidents

In Walt Disney World there is a hall for all of the United States' Presidents. They add the newly elected president to the hall and this year the hall will be closed from January 17, 2017 through June 30, 2017 to add Donald Trump. This show starts with a video about the history of America then a curtain rises to show all of the presidents, including the current president. They all get a chance to speak and then at the end it features the speech of the current president.

There is a petition going around on change.org fighting to have President Trump's figure to not have any voice. People believe that in all of his speeches that he says hateful things and the children who visit do not need to hear the hateful things he has to say. " 'Donald Trump ran a presidential campaign on hateful speech, misogyny, racism, and xenophobia,' the petition reads. 'In doing so, he has tainted the legacy of the American Presidency forever.' Since Disney's Magic Kingdom is a place meant for families, Rogers says 'it is not an appropriate place for a Donald Trump speech.' " (Sad, Silent Trump).

Although I disagree with many things President Trump says and is wanting for our country, I do think it would be unfair to not let his animatronic character speak. Clinton, Bush, and Obama have all had the final speech of the show and would be incomplete without a final speech. If they do not have Trump do a speech they will need to find some other way to end the show. I am pretty sure Disney would not do that to Trump because that would cause some issues and Disney probably does not want to do that.
