It's Easter week and at Disneyland, not only are their colorful eggs hidden all around, but Sleeping Beauty Castle is decked out in blue and silver for the park's 60th birthday. At Walt Disney World, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto soft opened on Saturday at the Polynesian Village Resort to big crowds and long waits. We still can't wait to go. Star Wars Weekends are coming up at Disney's Hollywood Studios and we're really geeking over the action figures that can be custom designed with your face. Want a seven-inch figure of yourself frozen in carbonite? It can happen. Meanwhile, runDisney has released an updated calendar of events, Audra McDonald is joining the cast of "Beauty and the Beast," Disney and Paramont have reached an agreement over "Star Wars: Rogue One" and "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation," and "Fancy Nancy" is coming to Disney Junior.
Tim and Anthony don't have enough money to buy a Walt Disney World Monorail train or a Tron light cycle replica, so instead they're arguing about "Into the Woods" and pineapple pizza on today's "Inside The Mouse Castle." They also share the latest news on Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War," Little League star Mo'Ne Davis' new Disney Channel movie and speciall "Muppet Moments" for your kids. Plus, hear the troubling secret Steve Jobs shared with Bob Iger just before Pixar and Disney joined forces in 2006.
Tim and Anthony aren't sure about Tim Burton helming a new live-action version "Dumbo," but they're downright giddy about Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline and Josh Gad joining the cast of "Beauty and the Beast." And so, they debate the ultimate Disney question: is it a good idea or a bad idea for the studio to keep remaking their animated classics in live-action? Also in this episode of "Inside The Mouse Castle": "Tron 3" may or may not be made (but it probably will), "Cinderella" scores big at the box office, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are throwing 24-hour parties, and "March Magic" means you can spend $600 on t-shirts.
