There's exciting and unexpected casting news from Disney. Emma Watson will play a princess. She's taking on the role of Belle in the live-action movie version of "Beauty and the Beast." Bill Condon will direct the film which is expected to start production later this year with a likely 2016 release. In other casting news, Kaya Scodelario ("The Maze Runner") is joining the cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5." Meanwhile, Lucasfilm's "Strange Magic" took a nosedive at the box office, "Frozen" is making a major appearance on Disney Cruise Line, more measles cases are being linked to Disneyland and ticket prices for Disney theme parks are going up (again).

This is what happens when Team Mouse Castle gets together to celebrate Anthony's birthday at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. We apologize in advance. We also have a lot of fun sampling the tasty tropical drinks the bar offers, plus we recap the Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend, dabble in some Frozen Fun and offer our thoughts on last week's Oscar nominations.

Tim and Anthony gear up for another weekend at Disneyland while dissecting Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards. Could "Into the Woods" and "Big Hero 6" actually have been shut out? Also, a break down of the results of the Walt Disney World Marathon and Half Marathon, a discussion about the measles outbreak traced back to Disneyland and all hail the return of Fantasy in the Sky fireworks! There's also good news and bad news for certain Disney Cruise Line passengers.

So, this happened: Anthony made a surprise trip to Las Vegas to hang out with Tim and the result was this episode of "Inside The Mouse Castle." It's an unplanned, unscripted look back at last year with some of our favorite Disney moments and stories from 2014. "Star Wars," the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney Infinity 2.0, "The Avengers: Age of Ultron." Maelstrom, "Into the Woods," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and a whole lot more. So, mix a martini, pour some wine, down a shot or two and join the party. Happy New Year!
