Disney Favorites and News 5.16.19

Hey guys! Hope you're having a good week! Here are some of my favorite Disney Things for the week.

First off: This Target Exclusive Giant Thanos Pop. I'm trying to collect the first batch of Avengers Endgame Pops and when I saw that target had a GIANT Thanos... I had to have it! I have one other Giant Pop- the Rage Aggretsuko which is also a Target Exclusive. I like that this Thanos is a Bobblehead... so it's like a really funny giant statue of The Mad Titan... he's pretty cool. Also you guys should know I love Thanos!

Here we have Thanos alone and next to my Thor Pop for size comparison. 

I haven't bought this just yet... but I did see some really cool Toy Story 4 T-shirts at Hot Topic. I've been browsing through their website and they have a Tank Top with the Toy Story 4 logo in a light green that looks like Buzz Lightyear Green. It's really cute and I have a feeling I'm going to order it soon...or get it in an actual Hot Topic store... idk!

Speaking of Toy Story 4... I do really like the Funko Pop figures for that too. I may go on to collect them once the movie comes out. Right now I'm actually looking to get the Flocked Bunny and Duck. The Bunny is available at Target... and right now it's hard to get and it isn't shipping... and the Duck is available at FYE... which I haven't been to yet. If you happen to see the flocked ones I'd say to grab them because I think they'll be hard to get. I'm still going to search because... you can never really tell with Funko pops... and they're fun to hunt for. I saw a review of the Toy Story 4 Funko Pops right here if you want to check it out.

My boyfriend found a cool Mickey Varsity Jacket at the Disney Store this week! We didn't get it yet... but it is a nice jacket and I thought he looked really good in it. Here is the link on ShopDisney. If it's still available by the time you see it... basically it looks like a Sports Jacket and it has Mickey's face on the back. It does look kind of like something you might see on The Mickey Mouse Club... which is cool. I just really like this one.

Speaking of the Disney Store- Aspen got me an Aladdin Mug from there also! It's super cute and really pretty... and it's just a good mug. It's big and its easy to drink from too. It's great. I also kind of like that it looks like a hybrid of the animated movie and the Live Action Movie. It's just super pretty. And when you buy a mug right now you can get a Tiny Big Foot Plush for a dollar... and I kind of collect these! So again, my boyfriend Aspen got me Mr. Pricklepants to go along with it too!

My mug is in the wash right now... so I screenshotted from the website. 

Now onto the news. Peter Mayhew- the actor who is best known for playing Chewbaca in most of the Star Wars movies has passed away. Chewbaca is one of my favorite characters... Han Solo is my favorite- but of corse his best friend is a close second. He was 74.

In theme park news, it's been announced that the new Space themed restaurant at Epcot will be opening this year! It's rumored to be in Fall... probably around when their Food and Wine festival is going on... I'm not sure. But this sounds cool and Epcot is my favorite park... so I really think this is really good!

I think that is everything for this week! Let me know what you guys think about this! Hope you're having a great week!

Disney Favorites And News This Week: 5.9.19

Not going to lie... I wrote this for Friday- but Life. I think this might be a Wednesday thing.

Alright #1 favorite this week is of corse Avengers Endgame. This is definitely worth the hype and worth seeing in theaters. I did a review on it... but man... I cried a lot! It was great. I want to see it again! It's probably worth seeing more than once in theaters.

I watched Ralph Breaks The Internet too! I did a movie Monday on it- you can check it out right here.I love the Bunny and Kitty in it and I actually got a Toybox Toy from The Disney Store with Vanellope, the Bunny and The Kitty. That is definitely a favorite for sure. My boyfriend actually has Ralph- so of corse I have Vanellope! I only have 2 of the Toybox toys right now. Vanellope and Dr.Strange... I do really like these but some of them look a little odd. I wanted the Thanos one because I love Thanos... but he just didn't look great.

I watched Zootopia too. I feel like I can watch this movie every time it's on... which is true of a lot of Disney Movies... but still. It's just so funny.

I've got some Disney News for you guys too! There was recently an Anniversary Party for Disney's Hollywood Studios and they previewed some new things. First off we have a new Logo for the park featuring Woody, BB8 and Mickey himself. I like the logo... however I do understand what a lot of people are saying about it... which is basically it's a little awkward as an actual logo. Seeing these 3 characters together makes sense in a commercial spot or on video... but with the different animation styles it doesn't look great on the sign itself.

I couldn't get a picture of the actual sign for this blog? Maybe Disney isn't allowing that or something... but here you can get the details of it... I'm curious. I don't think It's something I would think twice of while in the park itself... I don't think it would ruin my park photos... I still think it looks good... but I understand the criticism.

Another thing I think people are critical of: The Skyliner Gondola's having characters! So far there was an accidental reveal of one of the characters. You can check out this youtube video at 0:28 seconds. One of the covers covering the gondola's fell off and it showed what the gondola looked like. This one has Goofy, Pete, Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. I think it's cute. I like that some of the Gondola's have characters on them and some do not. I think if I were a kid I'd be really excited to ride in one of the ones with the characters on it. Plus it's kind of fun to guess which color you're going to get for the Monorail and... I just like how this will be kind of exciting to wait and try to guess what you might get.

Also there will be a table service Barbecue restaurant in Toy Story Land called Roundup Rodeo Barbecue. The concept art looks really adorable. I know Disney has a lot of great Barbecue restaurants on property. I've heard people say Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom is one of the best... and they have The Polite Pig... so this is a good announcement. I think it'll be really nice to have something else in Toy Story Land- especially since the main complaint I'm hearing about Toy Story Land is that there's no shaded areas. So this will be a nice break from the heat there.

A couple of different fireworks shows have been announced also! Disneyland Forever- which is the Fireworks show that Disneyland showed for their 60th celebration. It was apparently amazing and many Disneyland fans and park goers are excited for that. Walt Disney World also announced they will have a new fireworks shows for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party also! This will debut on August 16th- which is the first Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I think people were kind of surprised about Disneyland Forever, but not as surprised as the Halloween Fireworks because they debuted the Happily Ever After Fireworks to replace the Wishes Fireworks show. These both sound really good!

There's a Pop Up Museum in Disneyland's Downtown Disney. It's basically a museum of cute Instagram Walls dedicated to Mickey Mouse. It looks really cute and you'll probably see it all over your instagram. It looks like fun- if they bring it to New York or Something I'm sure I'll go!

Hope you guys like this favorites!

TTFN!
