Any Space Mountain fans out there? This beloved Disney classic located at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World has been a family favorite among many for years now. Seemingly never losing its popularity, it seems Disney has decided to work up a new Space Mountain movie!

As shared by Hollywood Reporter: “Disney is getting ready to ride Space Mountain onto the big screen. The venerable ride is getting the movie treatment, with the studio hiring Joby Harold to write the script for what is to be a live-action adaptation. Harold will also produce with partner and wife Tory Tunnell and their Safehouse Pictures banner. Also producing is Rideback, the shingle run by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich and was behind Disney’s billion dollar-grossing Aladdin.”

“Logline details are being kept hidden amidst the rings of Saturn but it is described as a family adventure. The project, which is in the early stages, is intended for theatrical release.”

If you love taking a spin on the teacups, racing around the galaxy, or practicing your terror with ghoulish delight, this year’s runDisney Virtual Series might be worth running to.

Celebrating its fifth anniversary, this year’s runDisney Virtual Series pays tribute to three iconic Disney Parks attractions which were voted on by fans during last year’s D23 Expo, with the Virtual Challenge honoring a beloved piece of Disney Parks’ past.

The Virtual Series is made up of three 5K runs to be done at the guest’s course of their choosing at home in June, July, and August 2020. Each race has its own medal that all registrants get, so if you’re into running and classic Disney Parks attractions, be sure to register!

June’s 5K might drive you a little mad, but don’t worry, everyone’s mad at the Mad Tea Party! Featuring an emblem of the race details within the Mad Hatter’s hat, runners will be celebrating the attraction as it marks it’s 65th anniversary at Disneyland this summer.

Go for launch with July’s Virtual 5K celebrating Space Mountain! The logo surrounds the iconic attraction building that hosts the beloved roller coaster, which celebrated its 45th anniversary at the Magic Kingdom earlier in January.

The 50th anniversary celebrations may have been last year, but this August, runDisney celebrates The Haunted Mansion with this Virtual 5K! It’s not surprising to see this be the August run, given that that’s when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off at the Magic Kingdom.

And if you complete all 9.3 miles of the three 5K runs this summer, you’ll complete the 2020 runDisney Virtual Challenge! If you register for this, you’ll receive a completer medal themed to the classic ticket books of Disney Parks past.

Registration has yet to open.

New Space Mountain Wishables

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom, Uncategorized

This month brought us the new Park Life Wishables collection featuring park icons from Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort, but coming soon is the adorable Space Mountain Wishables collection, which is now available at Hong Kong Disneyland.

The full collection features an astronaut Mickey and Minnie, a Space Mountain Ride Vehicle, and Robo-Dog! For those who remember the Robo-Dog, he first debuted as “Nipper the RCA dog” back when Space Mountain opened in 1975 (and was sponsored by RCA.) Guests would see him sitting inside a spaceship as they entered the attraction. The pup was later stripped and reused during the 1994 Tomorrowland revamp, where he was placed along one of the attraction’s many exit ramp scenes… which thankfully survived the latest revamp that took place last November.

The unbagged Wishables plush is no less than the attraction’s iconic ride building itself.
