love to tell again and again. They’re stories of special moments—large and small—which we’ve shared with each other. Whatever our age, they bring us together and keep us connected. Telling

stories is at the heart of what we do at Disney. And together we can help you create your own family stories that you will cherish for years to come.

This summer, perhaps your new family stories will be about riding the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom® Park at Walt Disney World® Resort. Maybe they will be about seeing the new film Planes: Fire & Rescue—and then watching your kids reenact it in the backyard. Years from now, perhaps you will still be talking about your kids’ reactions the first time they rode the Matterhorn Bobsleds or California Screamin’ at the Disneyland® Resort! Or it could be something as simple and warm as the memory of cuddling up and reading a Disney storybook together.

Your Disney Visa® Card can help you create your family’s

personal stories of Disney summer magic. Every time you use your card, you earn Disney Dream Reward Dollars®.1 So load them onto your Disney Rewards® Redemption Card to redeem for vouchers toward movie tickets to one of the new Disney films, a special toy from Disney Store or DisneyStore.com or a sweet treat for the family after a thrilling ride at the Disney Theme Parks.1,2

See How the Story Begins

W ho can forget the moment Maleficent arrives and puts the curse on baby Aurora in Walt

Disney’s 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty? One of the most iconic Disney villains, Maleficent is the essence of pure evil. But we never knew what made her that way.

Maleficent, the new live-action film directed by Robert Stromberg and starring Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, takes a deeper look at the unrepentant mistress of mayhem. The film reveals her untold story and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she rules, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.

What does it take to turn an animated character with a single focus and no backstory into a fully

realized live character whom audiences can understand and even, at times emphathize with?

“Maleficent is not a remake of the classic animation,” Robert points out. “And we are also not reinventing Maleficent’s character. We’re taking this great villain and revealing layers of information about her—examining her personality and motivations from new angles. We’re exploring a variety of emotions that take her character to levels we’ve never experienced.”

The journey begins with the script by Linda Woolverton, but it takes a variety of creative skills to complete the tale. As we take our journey through Maleficent’s emotional story, the costumes, lighting and scenic design must all play in unison to reflect her psychological changes, according to Robert.

“The subtlest change in costume color or in the temperature of the lighting from warm and bright to cool and dark help communicate the character’s emotional arc and steer the audience’s emotions,” Robert explains.

Music plays an important psychological role as well. “We were walking many lines with the music,” Robert says. “We wanted to appeal to audiences who knew and loved the original

Walk Through a FairytaleSince the walkthrough opened on April 28, 1957, in Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland® Park, Guests have been able to literally step into the story setting of the animated film classic. The journey tells the film’s story through intricately detailed dioramas, beautiful hand-illustrated books and special effects. Re-imagined more than once since its opening, and most recently in 2008, today Maleficent plays a significant role in the show, appearing five times (not including the illuminated manuscripts). During the last re-imagination, one scene showing her with her Goons required Imagineers to crane a piece of glass over 10-feet-tall in through an opening on the Castle roof. “I believe the walkthrough brings Guests emotionally closer to the film,” says Chris Merritt, Imagineering Art Director. “And just being inside the original Sleeping Beauty Castle that Walt built is a very extraordinary experience!”

To step into the story, enter the Castle gates into Fantasyland and turn left to an arched stone doorway. But tread lightly, for who knows when you may encounter Maleficent waiting to cast a spell on you.

After your fairytale tour of the Castle, stop by the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique just outside the Castle walls in Fantasyland, and use your Disney Dream Reward Dollars® to treat your little princess to a fairytale transformation.1

film score, which is based on Tchaikovsky’s ballet ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ but we also wanted to appeal to today’s audiences. As a character, Maleficent has several musical themes in the film, and they evoke different emotions depending on the instrumentation, which changes the emotional tone.”

James Newton Howard wrote the film score. “He’s fabulous at capturing emotional arcs musically,” Robert says. Popular songwriter-singer Lana Del Rey was hand-picked by Angelina Jolie to cover the film’s title song “Once Upon a Dream.” It is a dark and hauntingly beautiful new rendition of the song from the 1959 film.

But of course, it’s the actor’s performance that ultimately brings the character to life. “Angelina brought so much depth and soul to Maleficent’s character,” Robert says. “She was in love with this character and really wanted to explore who Maleficent is. She

was so engaged in the entire process, including the costumes and makeup, and even the jewelry and headpieces. Her enthusiasm made the development process so enjoyable.”

“Angelina created a very sharp, witty, well-thought-out characterization—exactly what the character needed. The first time she came on the set and said she was Maleficent, the whole crew gasped because she was just so perfect.”

Discover the truth behind the tale and fall under Maleficent’s spell as never before when you redeem your Disney Dream Reward Dollars® for vouchers toward movie tickets at participating theaters.1,2 For more information about the film, visit Disney.com/Maleficent.

purple that jump out against the crowd. “You always have to be aware of what’s happening with the characters,” he explains. “The audience needs to be able to immediately see and follow their movements wherever they are on stage. Throughout the project, I worked very closely with Casey, Scenic Designer Bob Crowley and Lighting Designer Natasha Katz to be sure the costumes worked with their designs and the action on stage.”

Once the designs were finalized, costumes were cut from muslin and fitted to the actors. “I always have the actors dance in their first fitting. They have to be able to move easily in anything we create. Each costume needs to look as delicate as a butterfly’s wings, but wear like a suit of armor.”

Not only do the costumes need to be easy to move in, delicate in design and withstand hundreds of performances, they have to be easy to get in and out of—quickly! “There are an average of 11 costumes for each member of the ensemble,” Gregg says. “It’s a huge number of costume changes—and they all have to happen very, very quickly.” There are 108 costume changes that must take place in less than 1 minute, 58 costume changes that occur in less than 30 seconds, and in the Prince Ali sequence 80 changes take place in under 8 seconds. “And we’re not just talking about putting on a new cape or turban, but entire outfits. You can imagine what it takes to organize all that backstage.”

“Of course, we’re constantly refining everything we do,” Gregg adds. “Most of the design work is developed before the acting company begins rehearsals. There are always things we

think are going to work, that don’t at first, so we’re tweaking shapes, colors—everything—all the way to opening night. But when the music begins, the curtain rises, the lights come up and audiences get their first glimpse of the color and beauty, every stitch is worth it!”

If one of your wishes is to treat your family to a journey into the enchanted world of Aladdin, as a Disney Visa® Cardmember, you will receive a special gift with your purchase of tickets to Aladdin to keep your memories sparkling long after the curtain closes.6 Visit DisneyRewards.com/Lamp or see page 15 for details. If another wish is to discover a new world of music, you can now pre-order the Aladdin Original Broadway Cast Recording at AladdinTheMusicalStore.com, releasing this summer.

“Aladdin is a gorgeous, unique spectacle. Being part of this production is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Gregg says. “With a show like this you can let your imagination go.”

Discover the Spectacular Beauty of Broadway’s Aladdin

T he Genie glimmers like a mirage against a dark sky. A parade fills the stage with dazzling color. Capes swirl, veils float as if stirred by the breeze of an Arabian night

and gossamer fabrics sparkle with thousands of shimmering beads. When the curtain rises on Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City, audiences will feel as if they’ve been transported by a magic carpet into a world of fantastical, spectacular beauty. And much of it was created—stitch by meticulous stitch—by Tony Award®–winning Costume Designer Gregg Barnes and his team. And there was no Genie to help!

“It’s a really big show,” says Gregg. “Counting the understudies and swings, we created 337 costumes. Normally a Broadway musical requires about half that number. And that’s not talking about custom-made headpieces, 161 pairs of handmade shoes and innumerable handcrafted accessories and jewelry pieces. We used 1,225 different fabrics, 83 of which were custom designed.”

But Gregg’s first challenge wasn’t just the sheer size and scope of the project. “Everyone knows and loves the animated film,” he says. “I had to find a way to honor its spirit,

but bring something new that didn’t just duplicate the look of the film. That’s the line all of us had to walk.”

“Aladdin is a fantasy story, but I needed to find elements in the real world to inspire the designs. Audiences have to relate to what they see—at least subliminally.” Director Casey Nicholaw wanted the characters to have a modern feel—something that today’s audiences would relate to. “So I gave one actor Arabian shoes modeled on high-fashion sneakers and another a big belt inspired by the back of a motorcycle,” Gregg adds.

“Casey said he wanted the palace scenes to look like the last scene in ‘it’s a small world’ at the Disney Theme Parks, with that lavish sugar-coated sparkle,” Gregg says. “So I spent a lot of time researching contemporary wedding dresses with lavish beading and lace.” Over 712 different bead styles added the sparkle Casey wanted. And one costume alone, a pair of men’s pants in the final section of the show-stopping “Friend Like Me,” is adorned with 1,428 Swarovski crystals.

Gregg was also inspired by the rich colors, textures and patterns of Oriental carpets, and used them extensively in his designs. For the marketplace scenes, he chose spice colors, then put the main characters in shades of green, blue and

Ignite ImaginationsT here are characters who make us

laugh out loud, move us with their courage and whose unquenchable spirit lifts our own. Dusty, the

determined crop duster who proved himself in Disney’s Planes (2013), is one of them. But what happens when he can no longer do the thing he loves most—air racing?

He shifts gears, of course. Proving that you just can’t keep a good plane down, in Planes: Fire & Rescue, Dusty launches into the world of wildfire air attack and learns what it takes to become a real hero.

Dusty’s pals from Propwash Junction are back, along with a new crew of unforgettable characters, including veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger, spirited airtanker Lil’ Dipper, heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie, Mayday, a lovable old WWII fire and crash vehicle and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as the Smokejumpers.

Meticulous research went into the story and characters. “We always draw from the real world,” explains producer Ferrell Barron. “The creative team visited various air-attack bases in California and at Yellowstone National Park. Everyone was very helpful in ensuring accuracy, although we had to take creative license in simplifying the process of fighting wildfires.”

“Fire itself is also a main character in the movie,” director Bobs Gannaway points out. “There are over 650 visual effects involving fire, smoke and water. It took about two-and-a-half years of research and development to create a fire that looked and felt real on

screen.” In fact, the team succeeded so well, that at one point, the fire effects had to be scaled back.

“The fire effects were definitely challenging,” Ferrell adds. “But the whitewater rapid rescue sequence was even more complex. You not only have the water, spray and mist, but you also have to capture the effect of the water on the characters as it pushes them around. Planes: Fire & Rescue is the most visually complex film we’ve made at Disneytoon Studios to date.”

But both Bobs and Ferrell remind us that effects are only there to support the story. “Our first goal is to bring truth to our stories and characters, and the same goes for our visual effects,” Bobs says. “We want the audience to believe in the world and become so immersed in it that they connect emotionally.”

“Planes: Fire & Rescue has a lot of heart,” Ferrell adds. “It’s a tribute to the heroic actions of firefighters everywhere. They are the people brave enough to run into a building when everyone else is running out, who put their lives on the line for strangers. They are true heroes.”

Fly into theaters to see Planes: Fire & Rescue. Then fire up your little heroes’ imaginations with your Cardmember savings of 10% on select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at Disney Store locations and DisneyStore.com with a new crew of toys including single and deluxe die cast figures, talking action figures and play sets inspired by the film.7 To learn more about Dusty and his crew, visit Disney.com/PlanesFireandRescue.

A Pitch Straight to the Heart Anyone who loves baseball will tell you that the sport has a million stories about legendary games and players. Now, Million Dollar Arm, a film based on a true story, adds another memorable tale to the list.

In a last-ditch effort to save his livelihood, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a major league baseball star, and travels to India to produce a reality show competition called “The Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of a retired baseball

scout (Alan Arkin) he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from Slumdog Millionaire) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from Life of Pi). The two 18-year-old boys have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings them to America to train. While the Americans are out of their element in India, the boys are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball, JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell), learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

“This is a great underdog story,” says Producer Mark Ciardi. “These two guys had never even picked up a baseball, and

six months later they were signed professionally. Every kid dreams of that!”

“What was interesting about making the film is how much of our journey paralleled the same challenges JB had to deal with in real life. He had to find those two talented boys and train them. We had to hire two actors and then teach them to pitch and play baseball. They trained every day. Suraj, who is naturally right-handed, even had to learn to pitch left-handed.”

Shaping the film also required finding the point where the sport story and human story connected. “The differences in culture were often quite comedic,” Mark explains. “We worked hard to find the perfect balance of humor and heart.”

“I have a favorite scene in the film, when the boys have had a pretty dismal failure at their first tryout in Phoenix. JB feels as if he’s let them down, and he expects them to give up and go home. I don’t want to give the scene away, but let’s just say, it’s a really beautiful moment when the boys show JB something about courage and loyalty.”

“Million Dollar Arm is about more than baseball,” Mark concludes. “It’s about learning to let people into your life, learning to care. You don’t have to know a lot about baseball to enjoy this film. You just have to know about love.”

To share a film that will make you and your family feel like a million bucks, go to DisneyRewards.com to redeem your Disney Dream Reward Dollars® for vouchers toward movie tickets at participating theaters.1,2 For more information about the film, visit Disney.com/MillionDollarArm.

op on board, buckle up and remember to keep your picks and shovels inside the car at all times. This spring, in addition to all the attractions, parades and shows for you and your family to enjoy at Walt Disney World® Resort, be sure to catch a ride on the new, family-friendly Seven

Dwarfs Mine Train, opening in New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom® Park.

The attraction gives Guests an opportunity to experience the world of Walt Disney’s beloved classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs from a completely new perspective—that of her seven best friends.

“We are always trying to create unique experiences for all of our Guests,” says Walt Disney Imagineer Dave Minichiello. “While Guests will see all the film’s Characters, we decided to focus on the Dwarfs and their mine. Those scenes in the film are so clever and amusing, we thought we could ‘mine’ a lot of fun from them,” he says with a chuckle. “It’s part of the Snow White story we’ve never told in a Theme Park attraction before.”

The whimsical attraction is located in the enchanted forest of New Fantasyland, an expansive area outside the castle walls. “All our New Fantasyland stories and architecture lead to the enchanted forest of New Fantasyland, and we wanted to create an attraction that would become a very dynamic center point in that area,” Dave explains. “We wanted Fantasy Forest to have a very different feel, so we’ve added a lot more topography and elevations including the mountain which is the home of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. You can walk around about 80% of it and enjoy some amazing kinetic views of the train moving in and out of the mine. It’s beautiful.”

As Guests progress along a shady tree-lined path, they’ll see the Dwarfs’ cottage meticulously recreated from the film. “It’s the first time we’ve ever built this cottage in any of the Disney Theme Parks,” Dave points out. In the last scene of the attraction itself, Guests even get a glimpse inside the cottage.

The story begins in the queue, where Guests can help sort and wash jewels or enter the vault where the Dwarfs have stored their gems. The commitment to

H

storytelling authenticity continues to the experience itself. “We looked at a lot of different ideas, and thought ‘How much fun would it be if the cars pivoted like they do in the film?’” Dave says. New technology allows the cars to sway from side to side and pivot as they go around curves. “It’s very smooth,” Dave points out. “One of our major goals was to be sure it would appeal to a broad age range. We wanted enough thrills, but we also wanted to make sure the entire family could enjoy it together.”

The attraction itself is rich in authentic details which help immerse Guests in the story. Walt Disney Imagineers spent hours poring over the mine scenes in the film, then captured every detail from the lanterns to the woodgrain and even the smallest bolt heads. No two cars look the same, even differing in the types of wood and metal used in their construction. It was as if the Dwarfs had built them one at a time over the years using whatever they found in the forest or mine. Artists painted the cars layer by layer, distressing the paint and adding hit spots and scrapes to show where they banged into something. “It’s all part of the storytelling,” Dave says. “Everything needs to feel like it’s in the right world so that the story is believable.”

“The New Fantasyland expansion is the largest ever created at Magic Kingdom® Park, and the mine train is the crowning jewel. The entire team feels very fortunate and thrilled to be part of creating an attraction based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Dave concludes. “It’s such a rich story, and all of us who have been involved wanted to create something that pays tribute to Walt Disney and the amazing artists who created the film.”

hat goes up must come down, as well as zoom around curves, plunge down hair-raising drops and, in the case of thrill attractions at the Disneyland® Resort, immerse riders in amusing, imaginative storytelling environments every twist and turn of the way.9

This summer, Matterhorn Bobsleds, which opened on July 14, 1959, celebrates its 55th anniversary. We thought it would be fun to give you a fast look at all the buckle-up-and- hang-on attractions, so you can plan your visit to the Disneyland® Resort to enjoy them all—one scream at a time.

Inspired by the real Matterhorn, Walt decided to cover a forested 20-foot-high mound named Holiday Hill with artificial snow, add a toboggan run and rename it Snow Hill. However, Walt always dreamed big, and his “hill” grew into a 147-foot-tall “mountain.” The use of a tubular steel track and integration of a themed environment made Matterhorn Bobsleds the most innovative coaster of its time. Today it continues to offer thrill-seekers an exciting race through ice caverns and glacier grottos, complete with roars from the Abominable Snowman, who took up residence in the mountain in 1978.

Fancy a spin through the galaxies? Take a high-speed whirl through Space Mountain, which opened on May 27, 1977. With the help of an American astronaut, the attraction was designed to give Guests the feeling of actual space flight. The high-speed mile-long ride through the dark is made even more thrilling by the fact that you can’t see the twists, turns and plunges waiting ahead. 37 years later, Space Mountain is still a Guest favorite. So make sure to grab your FASTPASS® ticket for the attraction. Maybe on your way to the Matterhorn.

If you’re seeking adventure worth its weight in excitement instead of gold, you’ll find it at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, “the wildest ride in the wilderness.” When it opened September 2, 1979, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad took attractions to a previously unprecedented height of storytelling in the environment inspired by Bryce Canyon, Utah. Hang onto your gold pans as a runaway mine train takes you racing along a twisting, turning track past red rock spires, steep gorges and an abandoned mine shaft. Along the way, keep your eyes open for bats, rattlesnakes and dynamite-munching goats.

Younger family members will love zipping along on Gadget’s Go Coaster in Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland® Park. The junior coaster was inspired by Gadget, the resourceful mouse inventor of Disney’s animated series “Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers.” It tells a whimsical story of Gadget’s inventiveness by using items she has salvaged, including an old comb, soup can and thread spool. It’s as much fun to look at as it is to ride!

There are more thrills to be had at Disney California Adventure® Park. At Paradise Pier, you can take off in Goofy’s Sky School. Inspired by the 1940 cartoon short Goofy’s Glider, it’s a wild

and wacky adventure that takes you through a crash course in how NOT to fly a plane.

Across Paradise Bay stands California Screamin’, the longest, fastest coaster at the Disneyland® Resort. Designed to resemble classic wooden coasters built during the golden age of coasters, California Screamin’ propels riders to a breathtaking peak, then plunges and swoops around, culminating in a 360-degree loop-de-loop. Your shrieks of delight are accompanied by an onboard audio track which was custom arranged to match the twists, turns and loops of the ride track. Just how daring are you?

With all those thrills, you are sure to work up an appetite, so use your 10% off select dining locations at the Disneyland® Resort (meal period and other restrictions may apply) in between attractions.4 Then head back out for another ride and buckle up for more screamin’ good times.
