Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey Have Arrived in Ireland to Film Disney’s ‘Disenchanted‘. Both Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey have shared individual posts on Instagram revealing they are now in Ireland for the filming of Disney’s Disenchanted, the sequel to their 2007 film Enchanted. Amy shared her arrival in a post celebrating and bringing awareness to Foster Care Awareness Month this May, and Patrick shared photos with fans from his site-seeing around the iconic countryside of Ireland.

According to The DisInsider, a synopsis for the film reads: “The film will see Giselle, Robert, and Morgan moving to a new house in the suburbs, overseen by Malvina Monroe, the main villain of the film. After problems begin to arise, Giselle makes a wish to transform their lives into a perfect fairytale. However, the spell backfires dramatically and puts Giselle in a rush against the clock to save both her family and her Kingdom of Andalasia before the clock strikes midnight.”
Disenchanted is currently slotted to premiere exclusively on Disney+ at a to-be-determined date and has begun filming in Ireland. The film will star Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Idina Menzel in their respective roles as Giselle, Robert, Prince Edward, and Nancy Tremaine, along with new cast members Maya Rudolph (Potentially Malvina Monroe), Yvette Nicole Brown, and Jayma Mays in unspecified roles.

Disney is pushing for 2021 Emmy Nomination for Gina Carano despite being fired from the Mandalorian franchise earlier this year.
Lucasfilm and Disney are promoting Gina for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Mandalorian Season 2 as seen in this “For Your Consideration” poster released by Lucasfilm.

“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future.
“Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

Bass Guitarist and Vocalist, Pete Wentz recently shared with Audacy that he is a HUGE fan of the Disney Parks. While gushing about his excitement for the reopening of Disneyland he also shared his dream of “touring” EPCOT’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World Resort.
“if somebody who’s listening from Disney World right now, I would love for Fall Out Boy to do a tour of the World Showcase at Epcot Center.” He jokingly added, “This will be our chance to go around the world super-fast. We’ll play in, I don’t know, not every country. Yeah, we’ll play the seven continents. I don’t think they have Antarctica there, but this is our chance to do it.”
Fall Out Boy and Disney have worked together on several occassions previously, having recorded and performed the hit song “Immortals” for Disney’s Big Hero 6 and were featured on the Nightmare Revisited and We Love Disney cover albums.

Face masks have become a main staple for touring the Disney Parks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun with them! We’re very excited that TMR Tours has designed new Chip and Co Face Masks and Minnie ears for us! There are two new fabric designs, a Disney Snacks design, and a Disney Parks attractions design.
Both fabric designs are available as Minnie ears, or a face mask! Plus, you also get two bows with the Minnie ears you can swap out! The Disney attractions design features fun ride vehicles from some of our favorites like Dumbo, the Mad Tea Party, Haunted Mansion, and more! I also really love that the tea cups from the Mad Tea Party are one of the icons in the print! Our logo is also scattered throughout the design with tiny Mickey icons.
The second design is Disney Snacks! Which is obviously my favorite because of my Disney snack obsession. So many tasty treats are showcased like Mickey waffles, Mickey ice cream bars, popcorn, and so much more! This design has our logo sprinkled throughout, with SPRINKLES!
You can find both designs, as well as your choice of Face Masks, Minnie Ears, or both now TMRTours!
Which of the new Chip and Co Face Masks and Minnie ears designs is your favorite?
It’s summer at Universal Orlando! Sort of, not only is the VelociCoaster open with technical rehearsals but they have added new food booths called Summer Bites. The new Summer Bites booths are at Universal Studios and we imagine they are to draw some guests away from the hustle and bustle of Islands. There are three new booths around Studios.
The menus have some delicious options and it’s always nice to have more food options while inside the parks. We hope they continue to add even more booths like they did with Mardi Gras. Either way it’s great to see Summer Bites and we look forward to trying some items off the menus.
It’s scary how hungry these Monsters Inc Pop Tarts are making us!
If you like pop tarts and Monsters Inc then you will love these inspired by Mike and Sulley! A delicious treat that makes a great breakfast option or maybe a snack to have while you have a movie night with your family.
Start by lightly dusting your work area with a coating of flour to keep your dough from sticking. Unroll your pie crust dough and flatten with a rolling pin onto the flour-coated surface. Begin cutting 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. Depending on the size and shape of your pie crust dough, you will only be able to get 2-3 rectangles from each crust.
Combine your scraps and continue to roll out the dough until it is used up.
Next, take half of your rectangular dough cutouts and place 2 tablespoons of jam in the center of each.
Once complete, take the other half of your pie crust cutouts and place them on top of the jam filling. Seal it up by scoring the ends with a fork and vent by piercing the top layer with a toothpick. Brush the tops of each pop tart with melted butter and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for 2 hours. During this time, you can start making the icing. Combine powder sugar, meringue powder, vanilla extract, and water. Split into 5 bowls for each of the colors.
Once the pop tarts have completely cooled, place the lime green icing (for Mike Wazowski) and sky blue icing (for Sulley) in piping bags with 1/4″ of the tips snipped off. Coat the top of the pop start with icing (avoiding the scored edges).
Allow about 30 minutes-1 hour for the base layer of icing to fully harden before proceeding with the piping details. Then, spoon the remaining 3 colors (leaf green, royal blue and white) into 3 separate piping bags fitted with a tip.
Starting with the Mike Wazowski pop tarts, pipe a quarter-sized circle for his eye using the white icing. Next, grab the leaf green icing and create 2 triangular shapes above the eye for his horns and a half-circle shape for his mouth. Place a dime-sized circle in the center of the white to form his pupil. Lastly, switch back to the white icing and add a few triangular teeth and a highlight to the inner pupil.
For Sulley, grab your sky blue pop tarts and the piping bag with white icing. Form 2 dime-sized circles for his eyes and 2 small triangles below his right eye for the teeth. Next, with the royal blue icing make 2 crescent shapes above the eyes for his horns, a simple curved line for his smile, and a diamond shape for his nose. Add 2 small royal blue circles to the center of the eyes for his pupils. Next, take the leftover sky blue icing and pipe stripes onto Sulley’s horns. Finish by using your remaining white icing to form 2 highlights on the pupils.
Let the icing set for about 1 hour before serving.

The animal care team at Walt Disney World always finds a way to make birthdays special for their baby animals. Celebration is in the air at Disney’s Animal Kingdom as they honor birthday girls Kirana and Grace this week.
Kirana, the first babirusa born at the park, just had her first birthday. Next is Grace, a western lowland gorilla, who is celebrating her second year with her troop.
Wildlife conservation is important to protect the Earth’s animal population and biodiversity. The team at Disney’s Animal Kingdom make terrific efforts in taking care of their resident wildlife.
In partnership with Disney’s Animal Nutrition Center, animal keepers made birthday “cakes” with portions of their daily diets and some extra goodies, like watermelon, to celebrate the occasion.
Be sure to look for these happy toddler animals on your next visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
