If you’ve been following along with recent Disney Parks news, then you know World Princess Week was a celebration of royal proportions at our destinations around the world as we celebrated the timeless magic and beloved storytelling of Disney princesses. It was an extra special week for us here at Walt Disney World as we welcomed more than 50 incredible wish kids and their families from organizations like Make-A-Wish for our largest wish-granting event ever: “Once Upon A Wish Party. “ CG animators had to rebuild the character models for CGI characters from films created prior to Tangled (2010) due to updates made to animation technology over the years, with rigging and rendering being reworked so that they could be used with modern technology. [7] The CG animators worked closely with the hand-drawn team, with Goldberg and Feliciano, the latter a fan of Aladdin since childhood, inspecting the short to determine whether a scene would be led by a hand-drawn or CG character, after which they would evaluate whether a hand-drawn or CG character should be animated first in the scene. [7] Animators with experience in hand-drawn and CG animation, such as Tyler Pacana and Anthony DeRosa, worked on scenes combining both formats; Pacana used a technique named "2D puppetry" to help rig the final photo shot. [7] Scarlett said that her choice of favorite Disney princess changes depending on what movie she has seen recently. Character greetings: Make-A-Wish families immersed themselves in Disney’s timeless tales as they met familiar Disney Princesses and other cherished characters in the Dream Parlors.

Rachel Morgan's story really drew me in and captured me. I liked the idea, the characters and the plot, I fell into it while reading and will definitely read more from her.The real Rumplestiltskin was trapped in Rumplestiltskin's Cell in " The Price of Gold", and took in Regina as his magic student in " We Are Both". In the realm created by the Evil Queen's wish for Emma to have never been the Savior, Killian Jones and his counterpart's history are the same, up to the point when the Evil Queen casts the Dark Curse in the Enchanted Forest and her other version fails to cast it in the created realm. (" Tougher Than the Rest", " A Pirate's Life") In the Wish Realm, Emma wishes on a candle shaped like a blue star, which is sitting on a cupcake, just like she did in " Pilot". According to Colin O'Donoghue, the older version of Wish Hook is one of his favorite versions of Hook to play. [4]

Wallina by Nikki Jefford - oh, this was such a fun and sweet retelling of Thumbelina - I’d read it again and to kids. You have to read it yourself to see how the author substituted the toads and other beings in the original fairytale - priceless! Will definitely have a looksee at this author’s other books. The Dreamer’s Curse by Rachel Morgan - take on Sleeping Beauty - Cress learns the day before her 16th birthday she is destined to die tomorrow because a wish granted by the infamous Godmother requires a steep price - a life for a life. Loved the potion solution and the fact the Godmother was like a mafia queen. But that's not all! There's family-friendly entertainment galore, and festive activities to delight the young and young at heart, a lively mini disco to get everyone grooving, and a visit to our cosy grotto where you can create cherished memories with your loved ones. Don't forget to capture the magic with our incredible photo opportunities!We know wishes are powerful, transformative experiences for children facing critical illnesses, and granting wishes is an enormous honor for us here at Disney as the largest wish granter in the world for Make-A-Wish. In fact, one out of every two wishes granted in the U.S. through Make-A-Wish has been a Disney wish. Do you remember the last time a story made you think about it for days? That's what happened to me when I read Pin Oak's Wish by Anthea Sharp in the Once Upon a Wish anthology. I'm not sure if it was the NC setting (I have lived here all my life), the melancholy but sweet ending, or Carl's choice not to accept an offered gift, but I found this story resonating in my mind for several days.
