New Frozen ride

MK_PFTHBLUEA1CHAR_7351472920

Kenny the Pirate of Character Locator is my go-to expert on meeting characters at WDW. His app is consistently more accurate than the others for finding characters, especially for the special Characterpalooza.  If you want more info on his app, I wrote a post on it previously.  You can find that post HERE.

As many times as I’ve been to Disney, you would think I’ve done it all, but there is always something new to explore and Kenny posted this video of the NEW Frozen Ever After ride at Epcot.  It is in the Norway area of the World Showcase, in the previous home of Maelstrom.

Disney & Pixar: Aren’t they the same thing?

 

disney pixar

I ran across an article about Disney and Pixar this morning and my daughter asked, “Aren’t they the same thing?”  I guess if you’ve grown up watching their collaborative creations, you would think so, but they are different aspects of the same company.

Disney And Pixar Fight To Rule The Mouse House (you can read the article by Nicole LaPorte for FastCompany here)

Disney is synonymous with animation, as they should be since Walt created the industry with his first animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1937.

Although other studios have jumped onboard the animation train, Disney and now Pixar seem to dominate.  In the 1980s, Pixar became the innovator for animation, demonstrating how computer-generated imagery could appear realistic and just as emotionally captivating as traditional animation.

In the early 1990s, Disney and Pixar agreed to work together on one computer-generated animation film and with the enormous success of Toy Story, they agreed to work on 5 more films over 10 years.  Since that time, there have been many amazing collaborations:  A Bug’s Life, Toy Story sequels, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Up, Wall-E, Cars, Brave, Ratatouille and now this summer’s biggest animation debut, Finding Dory.  You can see the full Pixar timeline here.

We’re excited about seeing this sequel and plan on making Finding Dory headbands or hair bows to wear for the movie, so I’ll have to post on how to make these once we’re done.

Costume shoes

2015-05-29 07.57.13

My girls love to dress up, especially at Disney. Queen Elsa is all the rage in our home, but the thought of my daughter wearing plastic shoes to the World kills me. So, we decided to decorate plain canvas tennis shoes for our day to meet the Arendelle sisters.

2015-05-11 13.06.36

Initially we planned to dip them in dye, but my daughter preferred to have varying shades of blue, so we used fabric markers. Tulip offers a large set with 5 dual-tipped blue ones, which worked perfectly for her idea.  The next time we decide to make costume shoes I will try this tie dye method I learned from Brook at Made in Michigan, using Sharpie markers and alcohol.

2015-05-28 16.47.40

She added a hand-drawn bow in silver paint Sharpie and we dyed her shoelaces (much faster than coloring them with markers).  To make them sparkle, we sprayed them with fabric glitter spray.

Disney pin board

pins

I love collecting Disney pins. There are so many styles and patterns with every character represented, but what to do with them when you return from the World?  There are lots of different opinions, but I like having them on display to remind me of my happy place everyday.

Bulletin boards come in various sizes and price range, however we were lucky enough to find these cork board frames at Target for $3 in both blue and pink.  They are perfect for a small board and since the frame is already colored, it was ready to go once opened.  I think it might be cute with a pretty bow on top, too!

Keys to the World

Imagination has no age–Walt Disney

 

Magic Bands are your new ‘Key to the World.’ If you are staying on property or an annual passholder, there is NO extra charge for your bands. They hold your room key, your park tickets, your FastPass+, your Memory Maker account and your charging privileges.

Magic Bands

If you are a ‘day guest,’ you can purchase a MagicBand in advance from Disney store online or on property, however you cannot add charging privileges.  The active transmitters embedded in MagicBand are expected to last for 2-3 years.

You can customize your magic bands at least 10 days prior to your arrival, which includes choosing a color and adding a name or phrase.  It was very exciting to get our first set of Magic Bands, but we definitely wanted to spruce them up before we traveled to Disney.  There are lots of great ideas for painting and decorating, however some require way too much artistic skill for me, so instead I added simple painted polka dots.  Sharpie paint markers work well on the bands and come in a variety of colors.  I have used this Magic Band for two different 5-day trips during the past year and the design has held up, with only a touch up on the black Mickey head needed before the 2nd trip.

It also began to peel pretty quickly, so we ended up adding extra color using the Sharpie paint markers.  I think for our next set we’ll try making pretty designs using my new vinyl cutter.  I’ll post an update whenever we get a chance to do this 🙂

Wish fund “jar”

A dream is a wish your heart makes — Cinderella

 

My husband gave me a vinyl cutting machine (after LOTS of hints) and I have been having so much fun being creative!  I purchased these glass blocks and could never figure out exactly what to do with them.  Scanning through Pinterest, I found my inspiration…a change jar for Disney.  Since there is always another trip on the horizon, I couldn’t wait to get started 🙂

First, I located this cute castle design from the Silhouette store,

then added “Wish Fund” in the Waltograph font.  If you need this font, it is located on dafont.com for free.

Where do I find characters at WDW?

It all started with a mouse–Walt Disney

Baymax from Big Hero 6
Baymax from Big Hero 6

One of my favorite things to do at WDW is meet characters.  I don’t always meet Mickey, but I love getting pics in his different costumes.  There are certain meet & greet (M&G) areas for special characters like Princess Fairytale Hall at Magic Kingdom for Anna & Elsa OR Cinderella & Rapunzel.  However, other characters can be difficult to locate, especially if you (or your child) wants to meet someone in particular, like Alice.

So, how do you find these harder to locate characters?  There are daily schedules for characters with special M&G areas that you can pick up, along with your guide map when you enter the parks, as well as information on the free My Disney Experience app, but my favorite way to find characters is Character Locator.

character locator

This site was created by Kenny the Pirate.  For me, he has been the ultimate authority on where to locate characters, as well as information on the ‘secret’ Characterpalooza event.  This is a not-published opportunity to meet several characters (even some rare ones), however the time frame is typically only 15-20 minutes.  Also, when there is possibility of bad weather, it may NOT happen.  This event used to be sporadic around the park (especially Streets of America area).  For the most up-to-date info on when and where it happens, check out Kenny’s site.
In 2005, the company closed viagra for women price its original plant. For more information, please cipla cialis india visit 99eyao website: Or see related articles like Can Chronic Prostatitis Infect Female Company?

This is because they know that unlike their other male counterparts, they cheap sildenafil 100mg have nothing to offer a woman in the bed. If cialis cheap india you are really in search of the way to cure sexual problem is by employing natural methods.
During the summer, we met Aladdin with Genie, Donald Duck, & Princess Tiana.  On my last trip, I had a solo touring day at Hollywood Studios.  I made sure to include Characterpalooza in my plans and had the opportunity to meet Princess Tiana, Evil Queen, Stitch, Pocahontas with Meeko and Mary Poppins with Bert.

There is a small annual fee for accessing ALL of the information on Character Locator, however I feel the cost is definitely worth it to locate any character available, within all of the parks at WDW.  Kenny has lots of great information for helping plan your trip to the World, so check out his site and blog.

Disney-inspired Vinyl Project

All you need is faith, trust and a little pixie dust–Peter Pan

My first vinyl cutter creation

 

I finally got a vinyl cutting machine for my birthday.  I’ve always wanted to be able to cut out my Disney-inspired designs and create projects quickly, however it took me 2 months to finally try cutting something out.  It was a bit daunting for me to get started because the software was very different, but I decided to have faith and jump in.

Before I actually took the machine out of the box, I started looking for inspiration on Pinterest, then a Google search for tutorials.  There are some excellent blogs, websites and YouTube videos that can help you understand where to begin.  The one that really helped me get started was  Melissa at Silhouette School Blog.  She has extensive information for anyone using a Silhouette machine.

For my first project, I wanted to create a simple black vinyl sticker for my laptop cover.  Of course, Mickey would be my first choice and I thought the Mickey head would be simple enough shape, but it still needed something.  I decided to add a heart design, then as an after thought I added my name in silver sparkle vinyl (using the Disney font “Waltograph”).  Download this font from dafont.com right here.

One of the great things about finally getting started is realizing that I can create just about anything…generally Disney related, of course!

Celebration cakes

To all that come to his happy place:  welcome — Walt Disney

My husband has a summer birthday, and it just so happens we’ve been at Disney TWICE during his birthday.  Disney does a great job of helping people celebrate all kinds of celebrations…weddings, anniversaries, adoption, family reunions, and especially birthdays.  In fact, we had the most wonderful cake at our on-site wedding.  It was a beautiful, two-tier chocolate cake, with white chocolate raspberry filling, and buttercream icing.  The staff decorated the cake with little Mickey heads and of course, a Mickey & Minnie cake topper.  This was part of the wedding package, so costs are different, but any cake from Disney is pretty yummy.

A few years ago, we rented a specialty cruise (pontoon boat) from the Contemporary Resort and ordered a special Mickey birthday cake.  It was a beautiful chocolate ganache, which is absolutely delicious.  The pontoon driver took us around Bay Lake, then found a great fireworks spot to enjoy Wishes, with the music piped into the boat.  It was a very memorable (and higher priced) experience, which requires at least 90 days advance reservation (407-wdw-play).

On our most recent trip, my husband and I decided to have a special dinner for two at Kona Cafe in the Polynesian resort.  Most restaurants will have a basic 6-inch cake available, however it seemed like a lot of dessert for just the two of us.  Instead, our waiter was able to bring him a special birthday cupcake plate, which was just right.  There is no guarantee that a cake will be available when you walk up, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

If you want to make sure a cake is available or to something more than a basic chocolate or vanilla cake, call the Cake Ordering Hotline at (407) 827-2253.  Since the bakery at the Grand Floridian makes the cakes for the on-site weddings, they have the most options as far as flavors.  I highly recommend calling the main line for ordering a cake 2-3 weeks in advance to get the most options.

If you are looking for more information on ordering cakes, AJ from Disney Food Blog has a great article.
