Limited Time Magic Events - *Updated Weekly*

[Katzateer]

The main fairies are Tink and Rosetta (occassionally Vidia). Silvermist, Iridessa, and Fawn are extremely rare. I'm really looking forward to this event

We took a friend with us the year we saw them at MK - both girls were in high school and our youngest did NOT want to get her picture taken with ANY character. Her friend is a huge Tinkerbell fan and we waited forever to get pictures with the fairies when the paint was fresh on the walls at the new meet and great.
I think it had just opened the week we were there.

The pictures are adorable of her friend Courtney beaming with Tinkerbell and my youngest frowning at her and the other fairies. I think we got to meet at least 4 maybe 5 and each had a room decorated with their personality/character.

First Three-Park All-Nighter Kicks Off Monstrous Summer at the
Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts

Just seconds ago, a 180-foot-tall Mike Wazowski from the upcoming Disney●Pixar film “Monsters University” made the official announcement that we’re keeping three theme parks open for 24 hours on Memorial Day Weekend, the traditional start of the family travel season, to kick off a Monstrous Summer on both coasts. Wazowski, the loveable green-bodied, one-eyed monster, joins best pal James P. Sullivan (“Sulley”) in the prequel to “Monsters, Inc.”, this summer as college students with hopes of becoming Scarers.

Our first-ever, three-park all-night party is happening at the Magic Kingdom Park in Florida and Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park in California. The parks will stay open from 6 a.m., May 24 to 6 a.m., May 25, 2013, local time.

In Florida, Magic Kingdom Park will feature a “Monsters University” theme where Mike and Sulley will be the Grand Marshals of the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” day parade and make appearances in Tomorrowland. There will be extra entertainment throughout the day and night, including characters in their pajamas in Town Square during the late night and early morning, and late-night dance parties in and around the courtyard of Cinderella Castle.

In California, you’ll be able to party the night away at both parks with special entertainment including: a “Monsters University” “TLT Monstrous” Dance Club and Star Wars characters in Tomorrowland and late-night Character Pajama Party in Mickey’s ToonTown at Disneyland park. The new Fantasy Faire Royal Theatre at Disneyland park will become a Royal Dance Hall late at night with a live band and dancing; and guests of Disney California Adventure park will find Monstrous photo opportunities with new “Monsters University” “Dorms” in Hollywood Land and a new “Monsters University” float leading the Pixar Play Parade.

‘May The Fourth Be With You’ Celebrated at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for ‘Limited Time Magic’

For one day only, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will present a “Limited Time Magic” event for the annual, fan-proclaimed “Star Wars Day,” May 4 – a date that Star Wars fans worldwide turn into a celebratory pun, “May the Fourth Be With You!”

Separate from our month-long Star Wars Weekends special event (which begins May 17), this “Limited Time Magic” celebration features special Star Wars entertainment, characters, commemorative merchandise, a Star Wars dance party and a Star Wars-themed fireworks show to cap off the day.

You might even find yourself sitting next to Chewbacca aboard Star Tours – The Adventures Continue. Star Wars characters will make surprise appearances on the 3-D attraction to enjoy the wild journey through space alongside park guests.
A special edition of Jedi Training Academy also is planned that day, with parents invited to join their children (ages 4-12, sign-ups required on first-come basis) on-stage for the training and final showdown with the Empire.

When the sun goes down, galactic fun lights the night as Lobot (from Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back) takes over as DJ for a dance party that will be highlighted by a special Star Wars fireworks show.

“May the Fourth Be With You” “Limited Time Magic” park activities and shows are included in regular admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

I love all the complaints people have...any limited time extra magic for me gets me looking fwd to my next trip, which happens to be during the Friday the 13th event at DHS & I can't wait!

[AgentC]

May the Fourth be with you sounds like something that might kids might enjoy. So far none of the limited time magic has been interesting for me to make a trip just to see it, but we might do this one.

[Christine]

I got to see the monstrous summer even last nite at Epcot. So cute, but like the dragon at the FLE event , was one time only.

Ill be at the Star Wars event on the 4th briefly, then It's off to run the Everest Challenge! So watch the Twitters and there'll be photos and video. The pyro for Star Wars is supposed to be stellar!

These LTM are much more the caliber that I expected.

[joanna71985]

I'm not sure of the wording for the LTM on the 4th- do you have to have kids to be an adult in JTA? Because I would LOVE to participate...but I don't have kids

[k10]

Any LTM updates for this week? Hoping there's something aside from the Star Wars weekends. Haven't read any recent updates.

[VWL Mom]

They've been busy over at LTM adding some new items for the summer. You can check them out here

LTM is driving me nuts! All of wdw social meadow pushes the Lone Ranger boot with frozen root beer today. I went to get one? Sold out.

They aren't kidding when they say LIMITED time magic!

Also, wdw twitter and Facebook and blog announced the debut of beauty and the beast vinylmation. Well I went to all four parks today and couldn't find a single one. I asked CMs and they had no clue.

The monsters U pep rally is just a dance party like they do at rocket tower in Tomorrowland. Although the monsters U themed bar and drinks are really so cute!

REALLY excited though about independence week. My friend in pyro said the nights to watch will be the 2-4.

Jeesh, the movie doesn't even come out until the 3rd. Silly me, I told my boys we'd need to get them next week. If this was a buildup you'd think they'd at least have more than two days.

They said they'll get more but not sure when. Said they would be undetermined amounts delivered on undetermined days. It's luck of the draw. Uncool
