New Specialty Eats to Celebrate Tower of Terror Final Check-Out; Sneak Peak of New "Moana" Trailer

New Specialty Eats to Celebrate Tower of Terror Final Check-Out:

Two new specialty eats are debuting at Disney California Adventure to celebrate the final check-out of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The classic attraction will be closing for good on January 2, 2017 to make way for the new Guardians of the Galaxy attraction.

First up for guests to try is the Tower Drop Dog at Award Wieners. It is an all-beef frank dipped in red-pepper ketchup, topped with grilled onions, peppers, and an onion crunch on top of a black noir potato bun. One bite of the awesome dog and you just might think you have traveled into the Twilight Zone.

The Drop, is a specialty drink that will be featured at the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge. It features a Midori with Irish cream and grenadine "dropped" in. One look at the creepy cocktail is not for the faint of heart. 

Hurry up and try these new specialty eats before the Tower of Terror checks out at Disney California Adventure.

'Tower of Terror' Movie in the Works at Disney; BoxOffice Makes First Prediction on 'The ForceAwakens'

'Tower of Terror' Movie in the Works at Disney:

Disney has hired Big Fish scribe John August and is looking to hire a screenwriter to make a movie out of one of its hit attractions Tower of Terror. Jim Whitaker is scheduled to co-produce with August after they hatched an idea together to make a movie based on one of Disney's most popular attractions and the studio loved their vision.

'Tower of Terror' has previously been made into a film, the very first Disney attraction based film, in 1997. The film was only made for television though and starred Steven Guttenburg and Kirsten Dunst. The premise of this film will be much like the attraction that five people enter into a posh hotel's elevator that is hit by lightning and they disappear into the Twilight Zone. 

This isn't the only Disney attraction film that is in the works as "The Jungle Cruise" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, no date has been set for the film's release. Also the popular "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series is scheduled to released its fifth film in 2017. 

BoxOffice Makes First Prediction for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens":

BoxOffice has made a long range forecast and its first prediction on how big "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be in theaters. They state the pros and cons of the film which are:

Pros:

• Every single trailer has been met with a wave of enthusiasm that no other franchise can match.
• Disney's marketing campaign has wisely avoided giving too much away.
• An aggressive merchandising push has helped engage a new generation of fans.

Cons:

• With so much hype, the film has a lot to live up to.

So what is BoxOffice is predicting? For "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on opening weekend they are predicting the film to make $215,000,000 and overall $762,000,000. That would be a record opening weekend. 

My Top 5 Favorite Attractions at Hollywood Studios

Today we return to our series we began last weekend with my top 5 attractions at the parks. Today we dive into Hollywood Studios. Once again this is my opinion of my favorite attractions and in no way am I saying these are the best. So lets dive into my top 5 favorite attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

5.) The Great Movie Ride:

Let's go to the movies. In at no. 5 in my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios is The Great Movie Ride. Sitting at the end of Hollywood Boulevard in the reproduction of Mann's Chinese Theater this classic ride takes you straight into your favorite movies. From Casablanca to The Wizard of Oz this ride makes you feel like you are part of the movie. This ride is a great family ride and I know that my family enjoy's it every time we are at Disney World. Like I said its a classic and has it humor too with your cast member that leads you into your journey. There are more than 50 realistic audio-animatronic figures with the likeness of Gene Kelly, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, James Cagney, John Wayne, and so much more. So why don't you just step into the movies with no. 5 of my favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios, The Great Movie Ride.

4.) Muppet Vision 3D:

It's time to Meet the Muppets, in at no. 4 of my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios is Muppet Vision 3D. I can't tell you how much I love the Muppets. From Kermit to Miss Piggy to Fozzie and Gonzo, you will see all your favorite Muppet stars. So let's put on our 3D glasses and dive into this crazy and funny attraction. While waiting for the show there is a 12-minute video of everything the Muppets do at their laboratory. It is the typical Muppet mayhem that happens in this video. You then step into the theater for more hijinx. With your 3D glasses on you head into Muppet Laboratories with Kermit who takes you meet Dr. Bunson Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. Things get disastrous when from their experiment the impish 3D experiment named Waldo is released. You have things going from bad to worse as they are preparing for the ending when Bean Bunny gets yelled at by Miss Piggy and he decides to run away. In the end you have Sam Eagle doing a dedication to America and Waldo making a big bang to end it exploding the lab. It ends with Kermit riding in on a fire truck through the wall of the theater that appears to be blown apart. It is a great show for people of all ages to enjoy. Muppet Vision 3D is no. 4 of my top 5 favorite attractions. 

3.) Toy Story Midway Mania

Jump into the Pixar World at Hollywood Studios with no. 3 of my top 5 favorite attractions, Toy Story Midway Mania. Another shooting arcade-like attraction, much like Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in the Magic Kingdom, this attraction is in 3D and involves all the Toy Story characters. This ride is for everyone and is very much a ride that I love. The ride usually has lines lasting over an hour so a fastpass is a must for Toy Story Midway Mania. The ride consists of five 30 second games that let's you compete against family members while shooting different targets in the games. It is all in good fun because everyone is having a blast in your car. The ride lasts about 5 and half minutes and is worth every minute you are there. In my opinion this ride has potential to be my favorite ride but it isn't and that is why there is 2 more great attractions to go. For now no. 3 for Toy Story Midway  Mania of my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios.

2.) Star Tours-The Adventures Continue:

Off in a galaxy far far away is no. 2 of my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios, Star Tours-The Adventures Continue.  My love of Star Wars helps this ride be no. 2 on my list. From riding with C-3PO and R2-D2 and getting the chance to go on a different journey every time you ride. There are more than 50 different journeys you can take while on this ride. You get to visit either Naboo, Tatooine, Hoth, Kashyyk, and Coruscant. You also may encounter some of your favorite characters such as Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Yoda, Admiral Ackbar, Chewbacca, Sebulba, Princess Leia, and Jar Jar Binks.  This ride takes you into the world of Star Wars and you feel like your actually in the movie. I love Star Wars so anything with Star Wars at the parks is going to make my list. I really can't wait for Star Wars in the parks. In at no. 2 of my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios is Star Tours- The Adventure Continues.

1.) Twilight Zone Tower of Terror:

We go to the Hollywood Hotel for my no. 1 favorite ride at Hollywood Studios with the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Are you ready to be taken into the twilight zone? Are you ready to be dropped 13 stories only to be tossed right back up? The Tower of Terror brings all those thrills and more on my favorite attraction. This ride is great no matter when you ride it. I love the thrill of not knowing whether I'm going to drop or be tossed up in the air like a rag doll. It's just great and the adrenaline rush you get from riding it is just exhilarating. The basis of the ride is a story of a family who while staying at the Hollywood Hotel while in an a elevator get sucked into the twilight zone when it is hit by lightning. The journey begins as you glide through different passageways in your elevator and then you go into the twilight zone. Just when you think your safe the thrill begins and the elevator drops you dramatically down and then pushes you back up and drops you again. It really is a great thrill ride and that is why it is no. 1 of my top 5 favorite attractions at Hollywood Studios.

So this was supposed to go up yesterday but I was busy and it never got finished so today you get a bonus blog. That's right 2 blog posts today, the next one will be up later on today. So literally in the words of Mickey Mouse, "See Ya Real Soon."
