Blu-ray revolutionized the way people watch movies. DVD was a step up from VHS and now Blu-ray has been a giant leap up from the DVD system. Crystal clear quality, incredible sound and beautiful images are all worth the more expensive Blu-ray discs and players available on the electronics market. Disney recently began to release its classic movies on the Blu-ray format, starting off with Sleeping Beauty. Pinocchio, Fantasia, Fantasia 2000 and Beauty and the Beast are all in the supposed lineup of Disney’s next Blu-ray offerings. When Sleeping Beauty was released on the high definition format the reviews were unanimously positive. What is already considered one of Walt Disney’s most beautiful films was restored to a clarity and quality never seen before. As with every special release there were never-before-seen featurettes regarding the making of Sleeping Beauty and other unique content.

Now for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, fans of the original Disney princess will get a chance to see the movie restored to Blu-ray quality and get amazing inside looks on the classic Walt Disney film. Snow White fans will get to see new storyboards, two deleted scenes and a music video for “Someday My Prince Will Come.” Along with those extras they will be able to get a sneak peak at what is sure to become the next Disney classic, The Princess and the Frog. Right here in Orlando, Walt Disney World is gearing up for the release of the classic on Blu-ray with special events at the parks.

Over at the Disney theme parks, especially the Magic Kingdom, you will be able to get an extra dose of Snow White as Disney prepares for the movie’s release. The Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort is now holding a “pre-parade” where Snow White and Prince Charming lead the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” parade in order to promote the Blu-ray edition of the 1937 film. Along with Snow White on Blu-ray Disney is also promoting Toy Story 3 and The Princess and the Frog. This is a great season to check out the Disney theme parks. There are special events happening everywhere!

There is no doubt that one of the highlights of Walt Disney World that puts smiles on the faces of guests on a regular basis are its incredible parades. Filled with music, dancing, and incredible floats, each parade has a personality and a theme all its own, suited to fit the particular park it strolls through. And in the coming weeks, Disney will add a few more parade spectacles to its roster, with new delights and surprises that are sure to thrill any Disney lover.

First up is the "Disney Dreams Come True parade" at Magic Kingdom, which will be revitalized with a whole new name and new fun. Beginning January 23rd, the afternoon parade will be known as the "Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade" to go along with Disney’s new What Will You Celebrate promotion, which began earlier this month. The new parade will make more stops as it winds through Main Street USA and Frontierland, during which party dancers will perform to get guests into the celebratory spirit. There’ll also be new costumes, new music, and all-new float décor to go along with the new theme.

In addition to this parade, the "Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! Street Party" will debut in mid-February with a high-energy cast of Disney characters, stilt walkers, and other performers processing down Main Street USA toward Cinderella Castle. Combining the floats and décor of a parade with the spirit of a street party, characters will dance to high-energy tunes such as “I Like to Move It” and contemporary hits like “Breakout” by Disney protégé Miley Cyrus.

Five floats decked out as gift-wrapped packages will be part of the procession, and near the castle, Mad Hatter (from Alice in Wonderland), Genie (from Aladdin), Lumiere (from Beauty and the Beast), and Sebastian (from The Little Mermaid) will pop out of huge four gift boxes. They’ll join about a dozen other Disney characters lead by the master mice of ceremonies, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Visitors will be encouraged to mix, mingle, and dance in the street with performers during this 12 to 15-minute parade, which is scheduled to take place three times daily.

“That is the main idea of the show,” said Disney Entertainment Producer Gary Gutierrez, “to have the opportunity to play and dance with the characters.”

While the "Move It, Shake It Celebrate It! Street Party" will have several performances on most days, the "Celebrate a Dream Come True parade" will continue as the main, once-daily parade; guests can check the daily schedule when they arrive the park to find out parade routes and performance times.

The main event of the “Pirate and Princess Party” is the “Enchanted Adventures Parade.” This lively cavalcade prances through the park twice a night and boasts a 39-foot pirate ship complete with swinging and sword-fighting ship hands and Tinker Bell herself standing guard over a gold-filled treasure chest. Close on her tail is Captain Hook and his favorite chomping croc Tick Tock.

Also joining in this adventurous procession of piracy and princess-ness are fair-haired Disney maidens with their handsome princes by their sides, and horses bearing their regal knights amidst delightful dancers and the Jolly Roger flag corps.

To cap off this fantastic fiesta of fantasy and feistiness, the party-perfect “Magic, Music, and Mayhem” fireworks spectacular bursts into the night sky with an original musical score that includes everyone’s favorite pirate and princess tunes all orchestrated to go along with the glittering blasts in the sky above.
