The long awaited date for the premiere of Disney XD's revival of DuckTales has finally been revealed. On Saturday, August 12 the show will premiere a 1 hour episode at midnight and play for 24 hours continuously on Disney XD. The show will then commence a few weeks later with two new episodes on September 23 coincidentally that is the 30th anniversary of the shows original premiere date. Episodes will air at 7:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 10:30 p.m., EDT/PDT.
Along with a new poster, the new opening sequence of the show was also revealed. Check it out below:
It all starts with a coin, as we follow Duckburg’s trillionaire, Scrooge McDuck, and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, with Webby Vanderquack and Donald Duck tagging along as they all chase down the runaway 10 cent coin. They run through comic book style settings featuring monsters, villains, epic adventures, and piles of gold. It’s amazing! With an animation style inspired by the classic Carl Barks’ comic designs, this opening combines classic DuckTales elements with a new updated look that has got us feeling both super nostalgic and super excited for this new series. The ending is perfectly tied together as Scrooge McDuck impressively catches the stray coin with his cane, followed by Launchpad McQuack literally crashing into the DuckTales title.
I can't wait for August 12.

Walt Disney World to Honor Memory of Lane Graves:
One year ago today, 2-year-old Lane Graves' life was taken way too soon as an alligator dragged him into the Seven Seas Lagoon from the shores at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. His death was ruled an accident but in the months since, changes were made to Walt Disney World properties that sit alongside bodies of water. Rockery was placed right at the edges of the lagoons, roped fences were also added along with signs warning guests of the presence of snakes and alligators.
His parents, Matt and Melissa Graves, made a public announcement stating that they would not be suing The Walt Disney Company over their precious son’s traumatic death; instead, they would establish the Lane Thomas Foundation in his honor. The purpose of the foundation is to support pediatric organ donation.
The official symbol of the Lane Thomas Foundation is a beautiful lighthouse which Walt Disney World is planning to have sculpted and placed at an undisclosed site on their property.
“To provide continued awareness of the foundation and its mission, we’ve commissioned an original sculpture of the lighthouse the foundation uses as a symbol of love and hope, to be installed on our property this summer,” George A. Kalogridis, president of Walt Disney World Resort, said in a statement Tuesday.
