A 6th Kingdom.


6kingdoms_icon

That’s it, the Shanghai Disney project is official : we’re getting a new resort.

Some feel sorry for it, some feel doubtful… I feel quiet happy.

Happy because, no matter how many parks they choose to inflate this new resort with, this can only mean a new Kingdom for us. A Kingdom to wait for, speculate about and enventually walk through.

EuroDisney emerged in an internet free era, Hong Kong in an interest free era – due to the general deception its evolving concept triggered.
Shangai should be a very well budgeted Disney venture, and so shall be its internet monitoring.

News will be sparse and rumors numerous and I don’t usually post news on this blog but for a 6th Kingdom, I think I’ll take my chance.
Untill we can start comparing…

What is your Homepark ?

 

my-homepark1

What is your homepark, what is your Kingdom ?

It is not necessarily the Disney park you enjoy the most or the park you rate the highest. It is the Kingdom nearest to your home, the one your parents took you to the most willingly. It is the Disney park with the most memories. It is the Kingdom you grew up with.

Thing with our Homepark is we build on it our expectations for what a Disney venue should be.

Any other Kingdom is gonna be better or worse based on how it competes with the standards of our Homepark. That is why most Disney fans will almost systematically pick their Homepark as their favorite Disney park.

Because we always want people to know which park we feel to closer to, 5 Kingdoms designed those modest badges so that you can share it with everybody visiting your website, blog, social networking profiles anything.

All you need to do is add an HTML code and answer that simple question :

What is your Homepark?

Took you half a sec to answer, then Add your badge now !

The Press Release is out, much more information on the official website… but it looks like Disney is launching a chargeable all thing Disney official Fan Club. Theme Parks, Movies, Collectibles, everything shall be adressed through this 74.99$ a year channel. 

Package includes exclusive 4 issues a year magazine, certificate, a collectible,  coupons and benefits. Will follow a D23 Expo coming this september to Anaheim Convention Center (no membership required, 35$ entry).

The conference did talk about the eventuality of having D23 events in oversee Theme Parks but until then… not sure how foreign fans will be reached out. But this initiative, if successful, should really delight the US fans until it spreads out to the subjects of the other 3 Kingdoms. 

Good luck to Steven Clark and his team !

Naked Main Street

perspective_main

For more than 3 years now, Le Parc Disneyland’s Main Street perspective has been inhabited by the Disney Princess/15th Anniversary Poles. But one month ago, they’ve been put away for an overhaul that would deck Disneyland Paris upcoming celebration : Mickey’s Magical Party !

So is the french Main Street finally naked ?

Yes ! But only for a time being ! The new posts spoted below will osbtruct this unique vista again once their third makeoever is complete.

It’s sure sad this Main Street is not allowed to work its Wow like the Imagineers and Disney before them wanted it to.
But the poles only come back late March, so if you can visit the park before then, make sure to see a Disney wonder no other Kingdom has ever dared altere : Main Street Perspective

Hong Kong Disneyland Satellite Picture !

hkdl_satelite_illustration

It seemed like this imagery would never show up… At last: Hong Kong Disneyland seen from the sky.

It obviously dates from a few months before opening, by clicking on the image itself, you’ll get a higher definition of the 5th Kingdom.

By licking here, you’ll get a picture encompassing the whole resort on which we can notice a lot of land is left. Easy to guess where the second gate would go.
