Last Sunday, MouseInfo was invited to check out America's Family Pet Expo at the Orange County Fairgrounds. We had such a good time we wanted to recap with our top ten favorite photos of the event!

This Saturday (April 27th) head over to Hollywood for the 4th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival! In past years, the festival has worked in collaboration with D23 to feature some of the most influential and important Disney films ever created. This year will feature the timeless classic, LADY AND THE TRAMP at their newest festival venue - Disney's El Capitan Theater. The film will premiere at 1:15pm, but be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early.

This will be my fourth year attending this incredible festival, and I assure you, it's not one to be missed. Festival passes are available for purchase and range from $249 - $1,599. Personally, I prioritize my spending money to afford my Disney Annual Pass, (which means I can't afford to drop a thousand bucks for a weekend festival.) Luckily, the festival offers individual film tickets for $20 ($10 with valid student ID)! For me, this has always been the best option financially. The Festival website explains that these tickets will become available once queued passholders have been seated, and open seats will be sold on a "first-come, first-served and cash only basis at individual venue box offices and just prior to the individual program start time."

Yesterday, I was very privileged to get a sneak peek inside the newest Fantasyland Theater show "Mickey and the Magical Map." "Mickey and the Magical Map" sends Mickey Mouse on a theatrical adventure through India,China, New Orleans, Virginia, Hawaii, and Under the Sea.

The show will have five daily performances and will showcase an articulated King Louie, and of course Mickey Mouse himself. We were lucky enough to hear from the show creators on what it took to bring this into the Fantasyland Theater and what kind of obstacles they had to overcome with it being an outdoor venue, we also had the opportunity to hear Michael Jung and Kevin Eld speak about the Disney Parks Creative Entertainment Department, and what they hope to achieve in the future.

"Mickey and the Magical Map" opens May 25th at the Disneyland Resort.

On Sunday April 21, MouseInfo was invited to check out America's Family Pet Expo which is held each year at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The event took place from April 19-21st and is now in its 24th year. The event offered everything from breed presentations from dogs and cats, to pet adoptions.

Also, at the Expo guests could meet pet celebrities from television and movies. Mick from "Dog with a Blog" and Bolt who plays "Captain Megasis" from the upcoming movie "Space Buddies."

Combined with this weekend's amazing weather, the event turned out to be quite a great experience with lots to see and explore it really was a fun time.

Today Annual Passholders had a special preview of the new "Building a Better Hero" Iron Man Tech experience at Innoventions. Guests get to see different Iron Man suites and can participate in a presentation by JARVIS (Tony Stark's computer program) that invites guests to "suit up" in the Mark 42 armor.

The experience opens to the public on Saturday April 13, and Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3, 2013.

As part of Limited Time Magic, Disneyland announced from April 8-14 Long Lost Friends week would be coming to the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree. NFTYSqrt visited the Resort on Monday,to take a look at the newest Limited Time Magic event and some rarely seen characters.

Guests can meet ten different characters which include, Cast of Peter Pan, Lilo and Stitch, Robin Hood, Tarzan, Pocahontas, Scrooge McDuck, Ludwig Von Drake, Three Little Pigs, Mulan, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the Good Fairies from Sleeping Beauty. Annual Passholders also have a special opportunity to enter the Jamboree thirty minutes before opening to regular park guests. I highly recommend doing so if a Passholder. This is a great way to make sure you get pictures with everyone.

Enjoy the update!
