PREVIOUS, 8:35 AM PT: Disney s Maleficent crossed $600M this week , as I reported on Wednesday. But the big news here is that it is also the film that has finally snatched the No. 1 crown from Disneys own Frozen in Japan. I suspected it would do so, and it earned the title with an estimated $7.1M debut. That marks the biggest opening weekend for a live-action import in 2014 and is also the biggest bow for an Angelina Jolie title in the market. Frozen, which was No. 1 for an amazing 16 consecutive frames, added an estimated $1.8M in Japan this weekend (the cume there is a regal $240.8M). That is likely to put it into the No. 3 spot given Edge Of Tomorrow also bowed locally.

It essentially acts as a digital ID that you wear around your wrist. The sensors within the band are also contextually aware and can detect where you are. Here's how Bajarin described one experience: But these RFID bands also had proximity features so when we were on a ride like Splash Mountain where they take a picture of you as you start the downward slide, it automatically sensed from our bands we were on the ride and that picture was automatically sent to our Disney picture site as well. Bajarin notes this mobile identity aspect could be crucial for the success of the iWatch. He even went so far as to say that Apple "would be crazy" seaworld vacation packages not to pursue such an idea. What's more, this concept appears to seamlessly fit with other initiatives Apple is rumored to be prioritizing moving forward. Numerous reports have suggested that the company will dive deeper into mobile payments this year, and Bajarin's reasoning makes the iWatch seem like a perfect fit for that goal. Bajarin writes: Imagine going into a Starbucks and just touching your iWatch or iBand to the terminal, entering a PIN numberand it is charged to your Apple account...Yes, you can do this with an iPhone now but that means taking it out of your pocket or purse and it is only single authentication at present. In a wearable, it is much easier to use for entering the home and for all types of interactions and transactions. New products around the connected home will also supposedly be a big priority for Apple in the coming months. Apple just announced its HomeKit smart home platform for developers earlier this month, and the company is said to be working on its own connected home hardware as well.

Disney Channel gave Girl a strong launchpad by skedding it behind the premiere of original telepic Zapped, featuring two of the channels latest stars, Zendaya and Spencer Boldman. Zapped opened at 8 p.m. to 5.7 million viewers, enough to make it the top-rated cable telecast of the year to date in kids 2-11 (2.9 million), kids 6-11 (2.3 million) and tweens 9-14 (2.1 million). However, Zapped fell short of the high bar set last summer by Disney Channels retro beach-party musical Teen Beach Movie , which garnered 8.4 million viewers in its July 2013 debut. Girl bowed at 9:45 p.m. with 2.3 million viewers in kids 2-11, 1.8 million in kids 6-11 and 1.7 million in tweens. In a clear sign that parents were watching Zapped with their kids, the telepic did a healthy 1.3 million viewers in adults 18-49. Girl brought in 1.6 million viewers in adults 18-49. With Girl, the series that picks up where ABCs 1990s TGIF comedy Boy Meets World generated a tidal wave of media coverage and nostalgia for the Alphabets distinct brand of family comedies from the 1980s and 90s. Boy Meets World reruns were a staple on Disney Channel for years, which primed the pump for interest in Girl. Disney Channel said Girl ranks as the most-viewed series ever on the Watch Disney Channel authenticated app and the most downloaded Disney Channel series preview on iTunes.

But when I was a kid we had movies like The Cat From Outer Space remember that? N: Yes! Theres a generation of us that grew up on Wonderful World of Disney we would watch it every Sunday night! PG: Yep! I watched The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night! N: Where do you find inspiration when youre creating music for a TV show Obviously the show itself, but do you ever pull from outside sources? PG: Well, it has to happen really fast. And they send me the script, so Im working from a script. For instance, there will be a part when Happy will sing a song and sometimes there are lyrics, sometimes there arent. A lot comes from hearing the actors voices in my head and trying to make it funny how they would say it. I was inspired by the Robin Hood movie with Roger Miller it just has great acoustic guitars and singing I used that a lot in reference with this show.

?I run to prove what I can do and who I am.? Most of us would expect a strong statement like that to come from an adult but it didn?t.

Scientists Find Experimental Support for Killer Whales' Ability to Learn New Dialects by Staff Comments A team of scientists from Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute (HSWRI) and SeaWorld San Diego has provided the strongest evidence yet that killer whale dialects are learned. The study found that juvenile male killer whales are capable of learning new call types when they undergo a change in social association. Killer whales have vocal repertoires that scientists call ?dialects? because they?re composed of calls unique to particular social groups. Discovering how whales develop these dialects hasn't been possible in the wild because of the inherent challenges in tracking an individual whale?s vocalizations and behavior regularly and for extended periods of time. The HSWRI study took advantage of the unique habitat at SeaWorld that was outfitted with multichannel video and eight hydrophones. This environment allowed the researchers to record and analyze the calls made by individual whales over a five-year period. Learning whether social association affects the calls of killer whales sheds important light on how wild populations of whales interact. Scientists still don?t know if and how webpage populations of killer whales can merge. The data from this study give clues about how that might occur. To find out more about this and other research projects at SeaWorld visit www.seaworld.com/truth.

Photo courtesy Disney To review, Walt Disney World allows visitors to make advance reservations for three attractions a day under Fastpass+, via the My Disney Experience link on disneyworld.com. Guests who have reserved a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel may use the Fastpass+ system to reserve ride and show times up to 60 days in advance of their trip. Annual passholders and other ticket holders may reserve times up to 30 days in advance of their visit. Once inside the park, Disney visitors may book additional Fastpass+ reservations, one at a time, after using their initial three Fastpass+ reservations. That's why we suggest that visitors consider try to schedule their initial three Fastpass+ times for early in the day, so that they can get additional line-skipping reservations during the rest of the day. In Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's separated the shows and rides eligible for Fastpass+ reservations into two tiers. You can reserve only one "Tier 1" attraction (the really popular ones) in advance, and must select "Tier 2" attractions (the less popular ones) for your other two Fastpass+ times. At Epcot, Disney's moving Living with the Land up to Tier 1, and demoting Maelstrom and the Character Spot to Tier 2. At Hollywood Studios, The Great Movie Ride moves up to Tier 1.

Resort Events Resorts As reported in July , some refrigerators in non-Disney Vacation Club rooms at Walt Disney World are being replaced due to a product defect. All Walt Disney World Resort rooms with the exception of DVC Villas, the family suites at the Art of Animation and All-Star Movie resorts, and the cabins at Fort Wilderness are impacted. Disney says "the schedule for replacing the refrigerators at these Resorts is expected to last several months." In the interim, if you have a reservation at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel and need a refrigerator for medical reasons, we recommend contacting your resort directly to inquire about availability during your trip. The hotel should be able to arrange for one if your room does not yet have a new refrigerator, but supplies may be limited while they work to replace all of the malfunctioning units. Polynesian Never Land Club Children's Activity Center closed for refurbishment through January 1, 2015. Polynesian refurbishment of the lobby ongoing. Polynesian Captain Cook's closed for refurbishment through June 14. Typhoon Lagoon the entire park closed October 26 through December 20 for refurbishment. Elsewhere Disney Osprey Ridge Golf Course permanently closed to play.

I seen Anna and Elsa with FP+. I highly advise you get your FP+ early or you'll miss out. From Rich T on June 12, 2014 at 8:13 AM If they want tier 1 options for non-thrill, then what do you consider Illuminations and Soarin'? Even Maelstrom was rather tame. and Test Track is literally a fast car ride. Maybe its a capacity issue. But Living with the Land in tier 1 is an absolute joke. That was a great ride, with the best food court and a short line. Its educational, fun and relaxing. But I find it ridiculous to equate that experience with Illuminations, Soarin, or Test Track.
