LUXURY CRUISE SPECIALS

# Buy a Veranda at Ocean View Pricing: Beth writes: "Amazing pricing on a new ship!"

# European Cruise: Beth writes: This is a very large, well-known and respected line in Europe... like Royal Caribbean is here. While most of their ships are kept in Europe, they do send couple to the Caribbean for part of the year. Regardless of what part of the globe you sail, though, you tend to get a lot for your money with this line - and this is a GREAT year to cruise Europe given the low airfares."

Twinkling Light Show at Pixie Hollow Makes Summer Nights at Disneyland More Magical Than Ever

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Summer nights at Disneyland Resort will sparkle with more pixie dust than ever this year as Tinker Bell and her fairy friends unite to create an iridescent light show in their first appearance under the stars, at Pixie Hollow Enchantment.

WHAT: Tinker Bell and her friends have been welcoming guests into their Pixie Hollow home, tucked into the glen near the entrance to Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, since fall of 2008. This summer, for the first time, nighttime visitors will find magical surprises at Pixie Hollow and see the nearby pond come to life in twinkling light shows.

WHEN: Nightly, at 15 minute intervals, beginning Friday, June 12, and continuing through Sunday, Aug. 23, at Pixie Hollow.

THE MAGIC: Pixie dust cascades across the landscape and radiates down into the pond. Even the water becomes enchanted as playful fountains spring to life, pop jets perform with whimsical precision and sparkling strobes shine throughout Pixie Hollow.

LUMINOUS COLORS: The dazzling light show features an array of luminous colors, from the deepest blues to brilliant reds to the most marvelous whites.

PIXIE MUSIC: The magical score transforms the fairy land after dark and includes all-new songs inspired by the film score from the popular movie, "Tinker Bell”"

LED LIGHTS: Sparkling, dazzling and twinkling effects are created by 1,000 LED strobe lights that use as much as 50 percent less energy than regular incandescent lights. In addition, the attraction is enhanced by colored LED fixtures both in the landscaped areas and in Pixie Dust Lake. While using less energy, the LED fixtures allow the color of the landscape and water to interact with the music.

SHOW DIRECTOR’S COMMENT: "Everyone will be swept away by the great music and shimmer of pixie dust at Pixie Hollow this summer," said Denny Newell, show director for Pixie Hollow. "This little gem of an addition to Nightastic! combines so many of the elements that make Disneyland the place where dreams come true - great storytelling, cutting-edge technology and, of course, heart."
