This year our team had a tremendous amount of fun sharing sneak peeks at new Disney Parks experiences, films and more through our Disney Parks Blog Meet-Ups at both the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
Here are some of our most memorable "meet-up" moments from 2016.
1) Transforming Spaceship Earth into the Death Star – Prior to the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, 400 Disney Parks Blog readers gathered to share in the Star Wars fandom when we temporarily transformed Spaceship Earth at Epcot into the Death Star. We were also thrilled to have actor Mads Mikkelsen (Galen Erso in the film) make a surprise appearance and do a quick Q&A for the group.
2) "Pete's Dragon" Screening In the Great Outdoors – Our first ever "Meet-Up Under the Stars" was held this year in the lovely outdoors of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Actor Oakes Fegley who plays Pete in the film even stopped by to introduce the movie.
3. Celebrating "Moana" On The Beach – What better place for a screening of "Moana" than the beach at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort? Although the weather was unseasonably cold, more than 1,000 attendees turned up for the fun evening, which included an appearance by "Moana" writer Jared Bush.
4. Readers Celebrate "Speak Like A Whale Day" With "Finding Dory" – Ask a Disney Parks Blog fan to wear a costume and you can never anticipate the creativity they'll come up with! Some of the most creative fan outfits we saw this year were spotted at our screening of "Finding Dory," where our readers also enjoyed posing for our "Under the Sea Selfies" and our "Fish Face" cam.
5. Jon Favreau Surprises Disney Parks Blog Fans – During a special advanced screening of Disney's "The Jungle Book" at the Disneyland Resort, the director surprised 400 fans in attendance when he showed up to introduce his film.
