[Inside the Magic](http://www.insidethemagic.net) has posted a listing of their *10 Most Popular Disney Videos* from the past year. Some of my favorites include:

* The *Frozen* World of Color segment from Disneyland;

* The *Transformers* walking around during the Transformers ride opening; and

* Merida officially becoming a Disney Princess.[^note]

Take some time this New Year’s Eve to watch a couple of these videos remember all the cool things that happened the past year.

[^note]: Now all we need is for Princess Leia to be get her coronation.

[The World’s End](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the-worlds-end/id686656998?at=10l5TL)[^affill] is in the running for my favorite movie of 2013, with [Star Trek – Into Darkness](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/star-trek-into-darkness/id643978126?at=10l5TL) not far behind.

I was not a *huge* fan of [Man of Steel](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/man-of-steel-2013/id684580963?at=10l5TL), but I did enjoy parts of it. Also, it seems like it will be the foundation that the rest of the DC movie universe is built on.

If it was the original Timm version of Harley, it probably would have been the top spot.

This should be interesting. If this goes on through the Christmas week, I would imagine that we have seen the end of “paper” Fastpass at the Animal Kingdom.

Memory Maker Launches at Walt Disney World Resort

It costs the same as the “Photopass+” offering that it replaces. On the plus side, it allows unlimited downloads of pictures taken during your trip, instead of the one huge bundle download at the end, like the old offering did.
