Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee! comes to the Magic Kingdom for 10 weeks only

I’m on a countdown now to our December trip and looking out for entertainment and attractions that we haven’t experienced before -- and the Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee! caught my eye.

This swinging musical show is will treat selected theme park guests at the Magic Kingdom to a revue of song and dance to celebrate the upcoming Disney animated feature, The Princess and The Frog.

The show will take place about the Liberty Belle riverboat three times a day from October 26 through January 3, 2010. The Liberty Belle will pull away from the Liberty Square dock carrying 22 dancers, a six-piece jazz band and 30 specially selected park guests!

Guests still ashore will be treated to a display of waving hankies fro those aboard. Sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate the release of the new movie.

Oh and the luck guests will also have a meet and greet with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen when they return to shore.

Now I wonder how I can get us picked to join the crew…

Be Shown to Your Seat at Magic Kingdom Counter Service Restaurants

One of the most frustrating things about eating at the Magic Kingdom counter service restaurants (or at any of the other parks for that matter) is that you can never seem to find an empty table. Well Disney is finally doing something about this issue with the introduction of new ‘rules’ at the Counter Service places in the park. Inside four quick-service restaurants in the Magic Kingdom, Disney has begun restricting access — but guaranteeing seating — during particularly busy lunch rushes.
