It's Jarvis! On Your iPad!
This new app is little more than a gratuitous promotion to get you to buy Iron Man 3 on Blu-ray starting September 24th. To be honest, I really don't think it does all that much. But dude...it's Jarvis! On your iPad (and iPhone)! For free!

MCL: "Iron Man 3" Reviewed, the Official Princess Merida and Pez Ratzenberger
There's nothing like staying up late to finish a podcast when you have to catch a 6:00 a.m. flight to San Francisco. It's for a good cause, though, as I get to preview the Walt Disney Family Museum's new exhibit showcasing the dark and fanciful art of Camille Rose Garcia. In the meantime, though, here's the latest from inside The Mouse Castle Lounge: I have my review of Iron Man 3, all the details about how Merida is becoming an official Disney princess, and why it's cool John Raztenberger is being immortalized in Pez dispensers. Enjoy!

MCL: Monstrous Crowds Expected at Disneyland's 24-Hour Party
I've got a bunch of fun stuff crammed into the latest episode of The Mouse Castle Lounge. First, Disneyland, Disney California Adventure and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom are going to be plenty busy on May 24 when they each host a 24-hour party from 6:00 a.m. straight through to 6:00 a.m. the next day. The Magic Kingdom will be busy, to be sure, but the crowds on the west coast will be, well, monstrous as the Disneyland Resort attempts to hold a Grad Nite at the same time.
Also, Iron Man 3 opens in the U.S. this weekend after an overseas opening worthy of a superhero. I've got sound clips from Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, IM3 director Shane Black and producer Jon Favreau as they talk about the making of the film.
All that and a preview of the still-under-construction Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Walt Disney World are inside this edition of The Mouse Castle Lounge. Enjoy!
The Mouse Castle Lounge can also be heard on iTunes and Stitcher.

Ride Closures at Disneyland and IronManoventions Inside 'The Mouse Castle Lounge'
It's a short and sweet weekend edition of The Mouse Castle Lounge as I travel on business totally unrelated to anything even remotely Disney. This is the view from my hotel room right now:
Cue the singers:
Saturday was not a good day for the Disneyland Resort as three E-ticket rides (Space Mountain, the Matterhorn and Soarin' Over California) were closed following an investigation by Cal OSHA into safety violations. No word as yet on when the rides will reopen, but Disney is scrambling to get into compliance and provide adequate fall protection for workers who maintain the exteriors of these attractions. The violations could end up costing Disney in excess of $230,000 in fines.
The actual citations filed against Disneyland can be found here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/citations/The_Walt_Disney_Company_DBA_Disneyland_Resort_%20IMIS_315531715.pdf
Space Mountain may be out of service for a while, but nearby, Innoventions is lining up guests to see Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries, a new display of Iron Man suits featured in Marvel's upcoming flick Iron Man 3. Lines at Innoventions, who knew that was even possible?
All that and more is in The Mouse Castle Lounge. Enjoy!

Tim Goes 'Inside the Mouse Castle': Annette Funicello, Harrison 'Buzz' Price and 'Iron Man 3'
Don't let the title fool you. The Mouse Castle Lounge is not changing, really. For one episode, I called it Inside the Mouse Castle because, well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. On further review, why mess with a good thing? The Mouse Castle Lounge is what my podcast is, was and will remain. Drinks all around!
So, what is changing?
The frequency with which I do this. Expect up to five shows a week with the latest news from the world of Disney. As strange as it sounds, it's easier for me to do a daily series of shorter shows (15 minutes or less) than to compile a week's worth of material (or more) and put it together in a longer podcast. Here's the plan: four evening shows posted Monday through Thursday with another show on Saturday (subject to change without notice based on the flaky whims of the host). Can you handle me on a daily basis? I hope you can. Be gentle.
In this episode, I pay tribute to Annette Funicello and celebrate Buzz Price's new window on Disneyland's Main Street. Enjoy!

Marc Davis, 'Planes' and Free Disney Movie Screenings in The Mouse Castle Lounge
After a few weeks away from the mike, I'm back in The Mouse Castle Lounge and catching up on a bit of news from the world of Disney. Among the highlights from this week's show:
Iron Man 3 will be making an appearance at Disneyland beginning April 13. Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries will take up room inside Tomorrowland's beleaguered Innoventions, displaying the seven Iron Man suits as seen in Marvel's Iron Man 3 due in theaters May 3. Besides seeing the display, guests will be able to virtually suit up and feel the power of being Iron Man. The exhibit is expected to run at least through September, but the rumors that an Iron Man attraction could take up permanent residence where Innoventions is now could change all that.
There's a new trailer out for the animated feature Planes and, well, it looks a lot like the old trailer. The difference? Dane Cook has replaced Jon Cryer as the voice of Dusty, the crop duster with a ton of heart and a fear of heights. Also, Planes will no longer be a direct-to-video release as was originally announced in 2011. It'll be in theaters August 9, 2013. And while it looks like a high-flying extension of Pixar's Cars franchise, it's actually a DisneyToon Studios film (although John Lasseter is one of the producers).
There's more, including a 100th birthday tribute to Disney animating and Imagineering legend Marc Davis, trouble at LucasArts and a way you could get to see preview screenings of Disney films for free. Enjoy!

Disney has announced they are awarding $1.5 million in grants to various children's charities and organizations. The Disney Helps Kids Shine program will benefit around 70,000 kids in Central Florida.
