MOVIES: Pirates of the Caribbean - Deads Man's Chest

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's ChestI found this on the internet today:

"Disney has just announced that Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest will make its Disney DVD debut on December 5th. Starring Johnny Depp as that mischievous, heroic rogue Captain Jack Sparrow, this epic adventure has taken audiences by storm. The film continues to pillage the high-seas with a tidal wave of worldwide box-office grossing of over a billion dollars to date, making it Disney’s most successful movie of all time.

P2 will be released as both a deluxe 2-disc Special Edition DVD set and as a single-disc DVD. The single-disc DVD features screenwriter audio commentary and the hilarious, never-before-seen “Bloopers of the Caribbean.” The Special Edition features limited availability holographic packaging and includes all single disc features, plus a treasure-chest of bonus booty: a behind-the-scenes documentary; a Captain Jack featurette; a sword-fighting featurette; “Creating The Kraken” on the film’s stunning sea beast; “Fly On The Set” – an on-location view of filming; a featurette on the legend of Davy Jones; bonus program on the newly “re-Imagineered” Pirates of the Caribbean resort attraction; star-studded, red-carpet Hollywood premiere footage; producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s personal on-set photo diary, and more. Much of the bonus material is exclusive to this DVD release.

To launch the Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVD, Disney Home Entertainment is unleashing “Dead Man’s Mail” (www.deadmansmail.com), an interactive site and emailable interface hosted by a rogue talking skull with a penchant for dressing up. Tips on the site for speaking like a true Pirate of the Caribbean are guaranteed to get tongues wagging.

A Few Of My Favorite Photos From Disneyland

Happiest Homecoming On Earth Coming To An End

Happiest Homecoming On Earth On September 30th, 2006 the Happiest Homecoming On Earth, Disney's 18 month long celebration marking the first 50 years of Disneyland that started on May 5th, 2005 will officially (sadly) come to an end. Many of the decorations like the hidden "Mickey 50 Ears", gold accents and commemorative gold colored rides are already gone.

We were lucky enough to make it to Disneyland twice during that 18 months, once in the winter of 2005 and again in June of 2006 shortly before our move the UK.

Here are some photos from our trip in June, ENJOY!

Jordans First Day Of School

Last month Jordan started the third grade at Feltwell Elementary School which is located on RAF Feltwell. It is about a 2-3 minute walk from the house we lived in last time we were stationed here but now it is about a 40-45 minute bus ride from Ely. He has always wanted to ride the bus so he enjoys it.
