Disney will update its nighttime show "The Magic, The Memories and You!" for Valentine's Day, to highlight romantic Disney moments. The nighttime show runs each evening, just before the evening fireworks. At Walt Disney World, images are projected on Cinderella Castle as part of the show. (At Disneyland Resort, the images are projected onto the "it's a small world" attraction.)

An all-new interactive experience, "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom," has been testing sporadically the last few days in Walt Disney World. In the new game, Merlin the magician will recruit guests as apprentice sorcerers to undertake missions to subdue villains and ne'er do wells. Armed with magic spells in the form of special cards, guests must search for the magic symbols that lead them to animated villains' hiding places. By casting different magical spell cards, players can do battle with Yzma, Kronk and other "baddies" hiding throughout the land. From fireballs to frantic frogs and cyclones, there are spells to bring down each and every villain, with a simple flick of the wrist. This immersive role-playing adventure will be included with park admission.

As the opening date for Disney's new Art of Animation Resort nears, more photos both of the construction, and of the room models, have become available. Be sure to check the site periodically for additional photos and behind-the-scenes video of this new resort.
