First concept art for the Marvel land scheduled for 2020 at Disney California Adventure for what will be apparently a Spider-Man attraction! The rendering was released in the New York Times article HERE with the caption "Spider-Man will be a centerpiece of a new Marvel-themed ride at the Disneyland Resort." Apparently, considering the position of the Guardians of Galaxy tower behind, this Spider Man building seems to be where was previously the It's Tough to be a Bug theatre...
The interesting infographic below showing all coming lands in the different Disney theme parks was also posted in the same article. If you look at the one for Disney's Hollywood Studios is indicated "re-Themed Roller Coaster" for the Rock and Roller Coaster, something that has never been mentioned before. Could it be a mistake? Considering it's a New York Times article, that they did with documents provided by Disney or WDI, i would say: probably not.
Californiacoasterkings.com has found the Holy Grail: the plans of the Star Wars Hotel at Walt Disney World!

Always about Star Wars Disney Enterprises has filed a new patent titled "Sword device with retractable, internally illuminated blade", in two words a laser saber, without the laser.
Here is the description: "A special effects device for providing an energy sword effect. The device includes two long plastic semi-cylinders, and these two blade body members are rolled perpendicular to their length, which creates compact cylinders of material of small volume that can be provided on a pair of spools in a hilt. To extend the blade, a motor provided in the hilt unrolls the blade body members from the spools. Each blade body member passes through a blade forming guideway that nests the semi-cylindrical blade body members together as they leave the hilt. To retract the blade, the process is reversed. The lighting of the blade is achieved with a flexible strip of light sources. The light source strip is attached to a blade end cap and positioned in the center of the two blade body members such that it is pulled up along with the blade body members during their extension."
Disneyland Paris started this week-end its Christmas season and in this part one we'll have a look at everything happening for this Christmas in DLP Walt Disney Studios where there is a lot to see and enjoy with 4K videos filmed by Max, D&M contributor and DLP Welcome webmaster.
But first, make sure to don't miss the end of the article as i also start the Christmas Special Offer on the very LAST copies of the Disneyland Paris book "From Sketch to Reality"!
At DLP Walt Disney Studios the main thing new this year in terms of Christmas theming and decorations is in the Ratatouille land with the usual Christmas village selling delicious food but in addition we have plenty of lights and giant Christmas balls added in the trees and around the mini-land. After all, the Ratatouille area is supposed to show a Paris replica and everyone knows that Paris has plenty of Christmas decorations during the Holiday season so it makes sense that they do it there, too. The only thing surprising is: what take them so long to think about doing it? Anyway, it's a good idea, the food sold by the Christmas village shops is good - though as always a bit pricey - and the Christmas theming fits well with the area as you'll see on the pictures below.
Here is the video filmed by Max showing you the whole Christmas decorations in the Ratatouille area.
Let's move to the Animagique theater usually playing Mickey and the Magician but not during the Christmas season as guests can enjoy now Mickey's Christmas Big Band 2018. Formerly inside Discoveryland Videopolis, the show is just as good and even better according to Max. And the band is swinging even better than ever so definitely don't miss it if you're there! Check Max 4K video below!
Another new show this year at the Walt Disney Studios is SurpriseMickey - Mouse Party which happen on the stage in front of the Tower of Terror. No doubt that the show is also here because of Mickey's 90th Anniversary, meaning that it may not play next year, so don't miss it too! Check Max 4K video below!
Introduced last year, Goofy's Incredible Christmas 2018 - LʼIncroyable Noël de Dingo was very popular and is back for the 2018 Christmas season also playing on the stage near the TOT with mapping projections on the Tower of Terror! Check Max 4K video below!
