Tim and Anthony survived last weekend's 24-hour party at the Disneyland Resort and share all the details on today's episode of "Inside The Mouse Castle." Huge crowds were on hand for the premieres of "Disneyland Forever" fireworks, the "Paint the Night" parade and the "World of Color - Celebrate!" show, while equally large crowds waited outside the gates to get in. It was exciting for most and frustrating for some as Disneyland kicked off its 60th anniversary Diamond Anniversary. Also: Disney opens its biggest Disney Store ever in Shanghai, "Tomorrowland" underperforms at the box office and Reese Witherspoon may be the next Tinker Bell--but we may never find out whether or not Asa Butterfield will play Spider-Man.
Who's ready for 24 hours straight at Disneyland? How about the same at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom? It's the Diamond Celebration and the Coolest Summer Ever on opposite coasts on May 22nd. Tim will be marathoning it at Disneyland from 6:00 a.m. Friday to 6:00 a.m. Saturday. Why don't you join him? Inside The Mouse Castle this week, Tim and Anthony talk about what to expect during these all-night parties and also take a look at the new Indiana Jones-themed bar at Walt Disney World, the Disneyland exhibit coming to the D23 Expo in August, Brad Bird's Tomorrowland and the hubbub about Disney's African princess.
