First National Bank climbs, Studio Tram Tour falls

ImageDon’t worry, DLRP Today isn’t branching out into stock market reports — at Walt Disney Studios Park, there’s both movie magic in the making and movie magic in the process of being ripped apart. The Hollywood Boulevard project, after several weeks of important but less noticable progress on its façades, suddenly enjoyed a landmark week of changes to its new — and old — landmarks.

Agrabah Café to reopen, but not for street rats

ImageWhen the Adventureland pages were updated on DLRP Magic! several weeks ago, charting the ‘Closed & Replaced’ features of the land wasn’t such a magical task. But, little did we all know, one of the most mythical and frequently missed former locations would suddenly present itself for a reopening later this year. However, to experience Agrabah Café, you’ll now need to be truly “one jump ahead”…

ImageIf you haven’t already heard, Disney-MGM Studios is now officially no more.

Five-star luxury, bright and airy rooms

Not so much tea and coffee facilities, but at least a nice shade of green for the walls…

Ratatouille infests cinemas, nibbles on tasty tie-ins

Hollywood’s Sweet Success? Just prefab magic!

ImageHollywood Boulevard’s progress continues to be more than a little unbalanced, the ‘Sweet Success‘ tower still racing ahead whilst the rest of the placemaking remains as bare steel frames. Now, we know that our version of ‘Sweet Success‘ has an extra dome on its roof… but would you believe its walls also already have more detail than the Disney-MGM equivalent? C’est PrefabMagique!

Pin Trading August 2007 releases

Pin TradingIt’s the first day of a brand new month! What does that mean? A brand new list of brand new pins!

Years pass quickly in The Twilight Zone

ImageEvery time we check-in to The Hollywood Tower Hotel, the derelict Tinseltown landmark seems to have aged another whole year. As it begins to approach its final, 1950s state of neglect, our latest progress report shows letters turned inward, debris turning purple and Tower Hotel Gifts becoming a very presentable new boutique for the Studios.
