Oh, there was some major tweeting going on this week!  Here’s what Disney fans were talking about…

RunDisney Events – This week was the lead up to the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend at Disney World.  Saturday morning included the Jingle Jungle 5K with the half marathon on Saturday night.  The twitterverse was humming with tweets from runners and fans alike.  If you’ve ever dreamed of completing a runDisney event, these races looked like great ones.

Halloween is over and Christmas has arrived in all places Disney.  The holiday decorations have gone up, the “snow” has started falling, and the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the year is over.  What happened to Thanksgiving?  Anyway, if you’ve been or are going to Mickey’s Very Merry, I’d love to hear about it!

Tony Baxter, Imagineer and Disney legend, received a Window on Main Street USA in Disneyland on Friday, November 1st.  Mr. Baxter’s new window, installed above Main Street Magic  pays tribute to a man who has contributed so much to the Disney we all love.  Please take a minute to read this excellent article at Laura’s Miscellaneous Musings blog.

Still more Thor!  As Thor: The Dark World opened in theaters this week there have been quite a few excited fans.  I caught this newest installment in the Marvel Avengers movie series yesterday.  Now I feel qualified to tweet about it too.

From the Disney Twitterverse – Week Ending November 2, 2013

IMG_1915What were the fans-of-all-things-Disney tweeting about last week?

  • Flavors of Club Cool at Epcot – New flavors debuted. Okayyyyyyy.  This one was really popular for some reason.  Club Cool is located in Innoventions and offers tastes of different Coca-Cola products from around the world.  I’ve got to admit that after many visits to Epcot, I have never visited Club Cool – if I’m going to enjoy something cold to drink at Epcot, it’s most likely not going to be a soft drink.  But, if you’re really interested in this news, the Disney Parks Blog had a good write up about it.

 

  • Thor and Captain America – I’m with everyone else – totally stoked about these two upcoming Marvel movies.  Thor:  The Dark World opens in theaters next Friday (November 8th).  So Excited!  We’ll be waiting a little longer for the Cap….April 4, 2014 is when Captain American:  The Winter Soldier is set for release.

 

  • Glow With the Show Ears hit Walt Disney World – okay, this one was really trending a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t know how big a deal it would be.  You can buy one of those (you know) Disney EAR hats that has a new technology build in it that makes the ears “glow” in time with different nighttime events.  If you can spare the $25 for a pair, they do sound kinda cool – wouldn’t want to try to schlep them around all day just for the evening event – but that’s just me.  If you’ve just got to know more, The Relocated Tourist had a good write up here.

 

  • Talking Mickey – Again, trending for a couple of weeks, but I don’t have small children and won’t be waiting in line for this Disney World Magic Kingdom character meet-and-greet anytime soon.  I saw a video here (posted by ThemeParkTimes) and this is incredibly awesome if you think about it.  Alas….maybe I’ll have grandkids someday (not now!) and they’ll never know that Mickey was absolutely silent (quiet as a mouse, if you will) until 2013 – and that was just fine.

 

  • All Things Halloween – but one totally cool tidbit I saw was that there was a “real” ghost lady outside the Haunted Mansion during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party that would actually interact with guests.  (Thanks @MMandMPodcast)  I want to go to that party and see that ghost lady!!!!
