"On August 2nd there will be a new issue of Disney Twenty-Three magazine on news stands. The Fall 2011 issue of the magazine is dedicated entirely to the 40th anniversary of Walt Disney World.
Here is a description of the magazine issue:
“Readers are offered a look at how the resort was created, including revealing details behind the mysterious operation to acquire the vast expanse of Florida land needed to build Walt’s ‘vacation kingdom of the world.’ With its nostalgic look back at attractions that have vanished but remain in the hearts of multiple generations, this commemorative issue also takes readers on an exclusive visit to the Magic Kingdom’s underground ‘city.’ Readers are privy to a host of little-known facts that contribute to Walt Disney World’s remarkable history and give the Florida theme park its unique identity. An illuminating all-encompassing interview with Imagineering dynamo Eric Jacobson rounds out the issue, as he tours the Magic Kingdom with Disney twenty-three, pointing out some of his park favorites and giving readers a preview of the new, expanded Fantasyland.
In addition to the look back at the excitement leading up to the spectacular opening of the Walt Disney World Resort in October 1971, Disney twenty-three’s fall issue includes an intimate, never-before-told portrait of Walt’s brother Roy, by his grandson Roy P. Disney. Roy O. was the executive responsible for making sure that the park opened on time… and on budget.”
Other segments in the magazine include:
- WE SAY IT’S DISNEY!: Bob Foster played a key role in the acquisition of the land that would become Walt Disney World. With Bob’s insights and recollections, Disney archivist Steven Vagnini takes us back to the twinkle in Walt’s eye that eventually became a reality.
- REMEMBERING 1971: Disney twenty-three relives the historic events leading up to that unforgettable day in October when Walt Disney World welcomed its first guests.
- MAKIN’ MEMORIES: From The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter to Kitchen Kabaret, the Magic Kingdom and Epcot have been home to countless attractions that left guests with the warm fuzzies. Here are some of Disney twenty-three’s all-time favorites.
- IN A CLASS BY HERSELF: Readers are welcomed aboard Empress Lilly, the Disney Village Marketplace riverboat that served up culinary delights from 1977 to 1995. Readers are even given the exclusive secret recipe for the Chicken Crepes Lilly that became so popular on the floating attraction.
- 40 THINGS (YOU JUST MIGHT NOT KNOW!) ABOUT WALT DISNEY WORLD: Even the most avid Disney fan might be surprised by the trivia uncovered about Walt Disney World in this feature. The parks are filled with vibrant history and little-known gems.
- AND MUCH MORE!

"Alright, Zac Efron’s “Bet On It” music video from the Disney Channel Original Movie “High School Musical 2″ has been funny from day one, but it’s made even funnier by the fact that Zac is turning himself into a super serious actor, taking on some strong roles in blockbuster movies. We try so hard when we watch this video to keep a straight face, and we do pretty good until the part where Zac looks at his reflection in the water “Lion King”-style. Then we lose it.
The choreography in this video is utterly amazing, and we’re so glad Zac filmed this when he did because we can’t picture him doing any of this anymore. Even if he was offered millions of dollars. On top of that, the music video doesn’t fit in with the rest of the movie at all, it is so obnoxious and over the top and so out of character for Troy Bolton (Zac’s character in the movie).
But don’t get us wrong. This is our all time favorite Disney music video, and it puts a smile on our face every single time we watch it. Check it out:
Zendaya Coleman posted this new photo of herself and her grandfather to her Twitter as her weekly Flashback Friday picture this week. Here’s what Zendaya Tweeted along with the picture:
