Disney Channel stars at the D23 Expo

Big news! Disney has announced not only a general overview of the Disney channel stars that will be at the expo, but they have also laid out the complete schedule for the signings!

In particular, I am excited to meet Hayley Kiyoko, Alyson Stoner, Olivia Holt, Stefanie Scott, and Caroline Sunshine. I have been trying to get Alyson’s autograph forever and Stefanie is just too cute.

I also look forward to seeing Chelsea and the cast of So Random again. I just need Doug and Sterling’s autographs to finish my Sonny with a Chance cast picture…

Pirates 4 Premiere at Disneyland

The stars turned out on the “black carpet” for the Pirates 4 premiere at Disneyland park on Saturday May 7th 2011. They actually built a huge screen on the banks of the Rivers of America.

First up, Jake T. Austin from WOWP with some blond chick that I’m assuming is his girlfriend.

I got a quick glance at Emma Roberts as she dashed past me.

Ashley Benson from Pretty Little Liars was looking very good.

My love Ashley Tisdale was there too. Sadly, I was so excited to see her that this vid was all I got of her.

I was just a few feet from the lovely Vanessa Hudgens as she signed some autographs. She is stunning up close.

The lovely dancer Lacey Schwimmer signed some autographs for fans too.

I did not expect to see Kyle Massey, but I guess he still follows Lacey around everywhere. 🙂

Eliza Dushku pretty much ran past as fast as Tizz did, but it was still a real treat to get to see her in person!

After seeing Lacey and Kyle, it was no surprise that Disney would want to have Chelsea Kane come by too.

I guess this Dancing with the Stars thing is popular. It didn’t seem like anyone knows her as “that blond chick from JONAS” besides me.

Eva Longoria is my one cliche older woman crush. So I got a kick out of seeing her in person too.

If you didn’t already know, Penelope Cruz is the female lead in Pirates 4. So of course she was there.

I just barely saw Mitchel Musso before the ushers pushed him along…

… to make way for our final guest of the evening Johnny Depp himself.

It was a lot of fun, and quite a sight to see. Even though the camera didn’t always agree!

In the next day or so I’ll be tracking down some of the professional press pics of Ashley, Vanessa, and the like as I regularly do for premieres. You can find move video from the even on my youtube and as always, click on each picture for a larger version.

Disney’s World of Color

It was a big night last month when the lovely Chelsea Kane,

and Nicole Anderson of JONAS,

were joined by Vanessa Hudgens

at the grand opening of World of Color at Disney’s California Adventure.

And I have to say, WOC is an amazing show. I went to see it myself and it is simply indescribable.

I’d post the video, but it’s nearly 30 minutes and youtubewon’t let me upload it in one piece.

Of course, nothing is as pretty as Chelsea Kane on King Triton’s Carousel of the Sea

D23 Expo Recap (Part 3)

On day three of the Expo, I was able to meet my two favorite Disney blonds, Tiffany Thornton and Chelsea Staub!

I don’t know how I was able to breathe, let alone talk, while in Tiffany’s presence. She is just one of the most amazing people, well, ever. I was able to tell her about TiffanyThornton.us and Sonny-with-a-Chance.com!

I can’t remember meeting Chelsea very well, as I was still stunned from meeting Tiffany only moments earlier. But I know I was able to tell her about ChelseaStaub.ws and that I loved her in Minute Men.

Prior to the signing, Chelsea and Tiffany had an audience Q&A session at the Radio disney booth. The full Q&A was some 40 minutes, and I was able to sneak a little bit of video for you all. 🙂

This first one is about what to expect on SWAC and JONAS.

This one was what happened when a really little girl asked about promice rings – and why neither Tiffany or Chelsea have one.

And this last one is about how each got her start in Hollywood. Watch for when Tiffany exclaims “What the Heck!?” 🙂

You’ll find a lot more pictures from Saturday in the DC Fans gallery and be sure to visit my youtube for more videos.

Tiffany Thornton & Chelsea Staub @ The D23 Expo!

I am so excited that I will get to see Tiffany Thornton & Chelsea Staub at The D23 Expo this Saturday!

Original reports said that they would be there on Sunday (the day of the Wizards event) so I thought I would miss them.

As most of you know, I love Tiffany. She does such a great job as Tawni, and she’s cute as heck. Plus, she’s 23! 🙂

I like Chelsea Staub too, but not enough to watch JONAS. If she was on a show I’d watch, I’d probably like her even more.

There are also supposed to be other DC stars at the expo on Thursday, but I don’t let know who they will be.

Be sure to keep an eye on my D23 Expo website for news, photos, and updates from the Expo! 🙂
