Limited Time Magic: Year of the Ear and January events

It's finally here: the first Limited Time Magic announcements have been made by Disney Parks!

Limited Time Magic is the 2013 special event at Disney Parks. For the entire year, Disney Parks will host special limited time events at the parks. Each event will continue until the next event takes its place. Events are announced shortly before they begin; however, you can be guaranteed a special Limited Time Magic event no matter when you visit Disney Parks in 2013!


Today the first special Limited Time Magic events were announced:

Year of the Ear:  
Disney Parks has committed to making 2013 the "Year of the Ear." This special event features new ear hats and headwear released each month in 2013, from limited-release couture to funky and fun. The year starts off with limited-edition Disney Couture Ear Hats.


Bling in the New Year:  
From December 30, 2012 through January 5, 2013, the "Bling in the New Year" dance party will be held in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. This party is an opportunity for guests to dance to hit dance party tunes and party with Disney Characters.

Three Kings Celebration: 
From January 4-6, 2013 in Frontierland at the Disneyland Park, the Three Kings Day party will consist of 3 days of music, activities, and food to celebrate the end of the holiday season and honor Southern California's Mexican culture.




A Salute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue: 
From January 10 to February 4, 2013, there will be a revival of the Golden Horseshoe Revue at Frontierland in the Disneyland Park. The Golden Horseshoe Revue was an original world-famous show in Disneyland. This new show will feature favorite song and dance productions in honor of the original show, and as a tribute to fun family-friendly musical productions.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! This is where you will be able to find various information about Disney destinations, from little-known trivia to planning tips for your exciting vacations!

Since it's the holiday season, I thought it would be fitting to start with the holidays at Disney. Disney specializes in over-the-top Christmastime celebrations, and the crowds that flock to the parks and the Cruise Line every year prove that no one does Christmas quite like Disney!


The biggest holiday tip (and really anytime tip) for Disney is to plan ahead! The time between Christmas and New Year's is the busiest time at all Disney parks, so it is essential to book your trip well in advance. Prime hotel rooms fill quickly, and with dining reservations available up to 180 days in advance (as well as the ever-growing popularity of the Disney Dining Plan), it is important to get started early.

In addition, there are many holiday festivities during this time. Walt Disney World and Disneyland both host special Christmas parties after park hours. These specially ticketed events include exclusive parades and fireworks, dance parties, hot chocolate, rare character meetings, and even snow on Main Street! Plus, there are always fun things to see at the various resorts, including an enormous gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa!

There are also exclusive unique holiday events on the Disney Cruise Line, at Aulani Resort and Spa in Hawai'i, and on Adventures by Disney vacations!

If you're thinking of visiting Disney during the holidays of 2013, start planning ahead now!

As always, have a magical day!
