I’ve had a twitter account for years. Like any normal parent, I set it up to stalk lovingly monitor my darling children as they used social media. I didn’t begin tweeting or following others until I realized how many totally cool Disney fans (of varied Disney interests) there are out there in the twitter-verse. Now I’m following a big bunch of interesting, funny, informative, creative, athletic, crafty (I could keep going, but you get the idea) people on twitter….best of all, they’re DISNEY people like me.
So, what was everyone tweeting about last week? Here are some of the hottest topics:
- Frozen: Merchandise is arriving in stores, characters are appearing at the Disney Parks, and people are getting stoked about this latest Disney animated movie’s opening on November 27th. I am one of those people!
- The Disney Magic: Disney Cruise Line’s ship, the Magic, has just undergone a major refurbishment that included a bunch of fantastic changes. We just sailed on her in August and got to take one last look around the original version – can’t wait to see the new adult entertainment areas, the new restaurant, Carioca’s (replacing Parrot Cay), and a new water slide – The Aquadunk! and much more.
- The Jingle Cruise: It seems the perennial favorite for fans of the horrible pun (…”I’d like to point out this sandstone rock formation…most people just take it for granite.” bah-dum-bum) will get to experience Adventure Land’s Jungle Cruise in a whole new way as it is made over for the holidays – if anyone is going to be there, I’d LOVE to hear more about this.
- Magic Bands – still in testing and still causing an uproar. I’m looking forward to finding out, after the testing is over, if you really truly can only have 3 fast passes in one day thatmust all be at the same park. Being a huge fan of hopping, I’m hoping to hear this is not true.
- The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP): Since I am planning to participate in both of these next year, I’ve been paying particularly close attention to all the tweets about the food booths, the beverages, the crowds, the entertainment and, of course, the touring strategies for enjoying the best the fall season has to offer at Disney World.
I can’t wait to see what’s hot with all the #Disneyfans on Twitter this week…I’ll be back next weekend to give you another update.
