This week, one of my Disney friends (and fellow travel agent co-workers) is aboard the Disney Wonder to see all the new enhancements Disney is unveiling to the public this month.  Disney released this press release detailing some of the great new adventures.  Take a peek.  It may be time to book that cruise!

"We’re excited to share more details about the incredible lineup of enhancements debuting this week on the newly transformed Disney Wonder.

From Super Hero sightings to a New Orleans-style street party celebration, there is so much to discover.  Here’s a closer look…

• At Marvel Super Hero Academy, Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow and other Super Heroes from the Marvel Universe host training activities for kids all cruise long.
  
  
• Tiana’s Place is a new restaurant celebrating the charm of the Louisiana bayou with southern-style cuisine and a spirited atmosphere.  Inspired by the Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, Tiana’s Place features a lively jazz band on stage, a high-energy parade around the room, and performances by Tiana herself.
  
  
• At Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post, kids can get their “Frozen” fix Frozen adventures in our youth club.  This with imaginative play and hands-on activities, plus one-on-one interactions with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf.

Thor: The Dark World - A Review

*Friend and guess reviewer, Aurora Moore, shares her thoughts about Disney and Marvel's newest adventure movie, "Thor."

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Media Preview of Thor: The Dark World this past Tuesday, and about the only thing I can complain about was that it wasn't longer! 

Oh Hello Handsome Fella 

I am one of those annoying girls who has only become a Marvel fan as of late. I have never been a super hero or comics girl but since the first Thor, I have become a huge fan. I have loved Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and my personal Favorite Captain America more than many of my other girl friends I think. I love the action mixed with the comedy mixed with the plot mixed always with a little snark and romance! Thor: The Dark World did not disappoint on any of those fronts. 

I am not the girl to spoil it for the rest of the class but this was great! 3D was perfect and it was SO PRETTY! Asgard was stunning to see this way. It literally jumped out at you when they showed it. The movie was perfect length (112 minutes) and of course left plenty of room for more stories! 

Again, I am not a comic book girl. It is well known that I have never picked up a comic book. Archie and Jughead was about the only comic book I have ever touched. These Marvel movies have grains a new fan from me and I can not wait for more! Please head off and see these movies!
