Disney in your Day News
Yay, it’s finally February! That means I’m going back to Disney! If you’ve been following my blog you probably know that I’m running the Glass Slipper Challenge, so I’m getting excited but also a little nervous about that. We have so many other fun things planned too – dinner at Yachtsman, FP+ to meet Anna and Elsa, and even a trip over to Universal to check out the Harry Potter stuff! Plus, I’m now signed up for the Disneyland Half marathon – which means I’ll get my coast to coast medal, and I’ll be going to Disneyland for the first time!
As for the blog, once I return from my trip expect to see lots of park updates. I’ll also be continuing some of the regular series, such as “thoughts on Disney movies.” I’m hoping to get some more recipes and crafts up too. And I may or may not have recently become a little obsessed with tsum tsums, so I have a feeling they will be appearing on the blog as well!
Disney News
- First the “big news” was that Disney was introducing these cool looking mugs at their Starbucks locations. However, now the Epcot mug has been pulled because of the monorail having a purple stripe on it (the color of the monorail from the fatal accident in 2009, a color that has since been retired by Disney. My bet is that they’ll change the color of the stripe and have the mug back on the shelves as soon as possible.
- Disney is already getting ready to make new Indiana Jones movies… and rumor has it that Chris Pratt will be playing the lead role.
- People have been clamoring for Disney to introduce a Latina princess, and now she’s here – Elena of Avalor, who will have her own show on Disney Junior.
