Disney’s Soda Fountain and Studio Store

One of my favorite little gems of Hollywood is Disney’s Soda Fountain and Studio Store.

Located next to the El Capatan theater and across the street from Hollywood & Highland center and Mann’s Chinese theater.

You can even see Donald Duck’s webbed foot prints at Mann’s…

… and Donald’s star outside the Studio Store.

That’s one popular duck. 😉

The studio store features a small resteraunt and store area but my favorite part is the the decor.

This includes autographed photos from Aly & AJ.

Heros Hotie Hayden Panettiere.

The cast of High School Musical…

… including some of the suporting actors like Olesya Rulin and Kaycee Stroh.

Oh, and they even had Miley Cyrus autograph a guitar. xD

Even for a Disney display, Miley’s autograph is hardly more than a squiggle. *eye roll*

At least Brenda Song and Raven know how to put a little effort into it.

Disneyland Report

Okay, this isn’t the sort of thing I generally consider news, but it struck me, so I wanted to share it with all of you.

I went to Disneyland this past Friday, and I was excited to see the new(ly reinstalled) Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.

“Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln” returns to Disneyland on Friday after a five-year hiatus, Walt Disney Imagineering officials confirmed.

Since its debut at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York and subsequent Disneyland residence, the “Great Moments” show has undergone repeated story makeovers and audio-animatronic updates.

After an employee preview Thursday night, visitors to the Anaheim theme park will see a fifth-generation Lincoln figure with a rebooted storyline and remastered soundtrack that revert to the 1964 original.

Upon exiting the show (which was fantastic) the exit gallery featured great moments in American history, and the dreamers that made it possible.

For example, the most amazing achievement in the history of mankind, the moon landing

Or great inventors like the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, or Henry Ford.

And let’s not forget musical legends like Hannah Montana.

Yeah, that’s right. They put Miley up next to the Moon Landing and Michael Jackson.

Now, I love Milez, but seriously? Who came up with that idea? I still randomly burst into laughter just thinking about it!

Speaking of Miley, they where also promoting her new movie, The Last Song.

Which they should be doing. 🙂

D23 Expo Recap (Part 2)

So before the D23 Expo, I had looked at Miley’s concert tour schedule to see if it was possible for her to make an appearance at the expo. And for whatever reason (I think I got my dates mixed up, LOL) I was under the impression that Miley wouldn’t be able to make it.

As I tweeted at the time (@anitrain), and recorded on my D23 Expo Website, “I saw Miley! I didn’t think there was any way she could be here now.”

That’s why I was so surprised, shocked, and excited when Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, brought her out on stage on day two of the D23 Expo (09/11/09)!

To round out the talent appearing on stage, Miley Cyrus arrived to help promote the Nicholas Sparks movie she just finished called The Last Song. “I love all of his other movies and to work with someone who kind of inspires you is really cool,” the superstar revealed. “And I remember growing up, my mom would always be reading his books and I always wanted to read them. So now that I can and I’m working with him, it’s really great.” No movie clip was available, but instead, the pop icon thrilled the crowd by singing her smash hit “The Climb.”

Miley did a great job preforming my favorite song of hers. And it was great to finally see her in person! 🙂 I did think it was kinda weird they didn’t have a clip from The Last Song for us though.

Of course, Miley wasn’t the only star to show up on Friday. Actors John Travolta, Johnny Depp, and Nicolas Cage where all there. As where directors Jerry Bruckheimer and Tim Burton. It was a really unbelievable experience.

Miley was the least welcome star though. At the announcement of her name, I heard people behind me groan and one exclaimed “Oh come on!” And I believe that person actually worked for Disney! The people right in front of me actually left when Miley came out. I hope they didn’t mind missing Johnny Depp too!

You’ll find many more photos from Friday’s events in the DC Fans Gallery.
