Disney's 2018 Movie Schedule

Hi there! This weekend Disney's first 2018 release is making headlines with its massive box office opening and critical acclaim of Black Panther. It seems to be a promising year for Disney, as this is only the beginning of its blockbuster releases. Let's take a look at what is to come!

A Wrinkle in Time (March 10th, 2018)

I first saw a sneak peak of this movie at the D23 Expo 2017 and I have been excited ever since. Oprah and the rest of the cast appeared on stage to present the sneak peek to the D23 audience, and everyone in the giant auditorium lost their minds for Oprah. I think movie audiences will have similar reactions when she is on screens everywhere in March.

Avengers: Infinity War (May 4, 2018)

The past ten years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe culminate in this movie. I cannot wait for this cinematic event! Black Panther has been such a success already, I expect audiences to be hungry for a lot more Marvel.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25, 2018)

After Lucasfilm's first successful solo movie, Rogue One, I have had high hopes for this Han Solo prequel. Plus, a movie that includes the Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke, is destined to be a hit.

The Incredibles 2 (June 15, 2018)

Growing up, The Incredibles was my favorite movie. I am super excited for this sequel!

Ant-Man and The Wasp (July 6, 2018)

Because of the creative promotional campaign for the first movie, I have giant expectations for more fun posters in anticipation of this sequel. And, I cannot wait to see The Wasp get more of the spotlight in this film!

Christopher Robin (August 3, 2018)

I am looking forward to a new twist on the source material of Winnie the Pooh, with Pooh and the gang leaving the Hundred Acre Woods to join Christopher Robin in the real world!

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (November 2, 2018)

Will this movie become the next holiday classic? I am intrigued to see how Disney interprets this story many of us all know and love.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (November 21, 2018)

When Wreck-It Ralph 2 was first announced, I had neutral feelings. But, then at the 2017 D23 Expo, I saw a sneak peek, and my excitement skyrocketed through the roof. We watched a scene where Vanellope von Schweetz visits all the Disney Princesses in the same room, with many of the original voice actors like Mandy Moore and Ming Na Wen reprising their roles. I don't want to spoil too much about this scene, but it has made this movie one of my most anticipated this year.

Mary Poppins Returns (December 25, 2018)

I have faith Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda will make this a movie to remember. I hope this sequel lives up to the iconic original movie!


2018 looks like a big year for Disney! Comment below what movies you are most excited for!

Disney Photopass Tips: Pop-Out Pics

Hi Disney fans! One of the best parts about visiting a Disney theme park are the pictures. There are so many insta-worthy shots on both coasts, at Disney World and Disneyland. One pose that will get everyone involuntarily saying "awwww" is what I like to call the "Pop-Out Pic".

Here is my family popping out from behind Stitch!



On an Adventures by Disney trip in Southern California, one of the families in our tour group started doing this pose at every Character Meet and Greet. The cuteness level of this picture is off the charts, so my family adopted it into our portfolio of poses. We take this picture with every character that comes our way!






I hope you all give this photo a try. If you post your images, feel free to tag @foodiefindersnyc with #PopOutPic

See ya real soon!
