Disney VoluntEARS are continuing to work hard and have a positive impact in communities around the world.

Recently in Argentina, VoluntEARS were joined by children at the Garrahan Hospital for a screening of Violetta in Concert as part of a program that bring Disney theatrical releases into children's hospitals.

Minnie and Mickey have been victims of Eminent Domain! This was my first thought upon hearing the announcement that Mickey's Toontown Fair was closing its doors and being leveled to make way for New Fantasyland.

If you're the parent of any Disney princess obsessed youngster you've likely stood in line more than once to meet The Princesses.

A ship used in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean film series recently sunk off the coast of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

As we get closer and closer to the First Marvel/Disney movie that doesn't revolve around the heroes we know best, i.e. The Avengers, we seem to get more and more tastes of what we can expect.

The lush landscape at the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in the Magic Kingdom is all an illusion.

What looks like real grass, trees, and shrubs is actually Disney magic hard at work. There are 350 fake shrubs, 55 synthetic trees, and fake grass at the Mine Train location. But there's also 20,000 real shrubs and 150 live oaks, cedars, and birches at the site.
