Prince Harry Tells Jon Favreau His Wife is Available for Work

I bet you guys didn’t know that the Duchess of Sussex is an amazing voiceover artist according to her supportive husband, Harry!

The two were seen talking to the director of The Lion King, Jon Favreau, Beyoncé and Jay-Z when Harry brought up his wife’s acting abilities. The footage catches Harry telling Favreau, “Next time anyone needs any extra voiceover work, we can make ourselves available.”

Markle then interrupts her husband to joke, “That’s really why we’re here, to pitch!”

Harry even bragged on his wife to Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, before Markle was hired by Disney for a project. Because she was given the opportunity, she donated to the charity, “Elephants Beyond Borders.”

Other companies are interested in working with the couple in the entertainment industry as well. Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos replied to a question about working with the pair, “Who wouldn’t be interested?”

Who knows what will be next for Harry and Meghan with their recent step away from the throne. Maybe we’ll be hearing and seeing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (as they are now formerly known) in some new movies- “just not Scar!”

Disney Puts Out Casting Call For Peter Pan and Wendy for Live-Action ‘Peter Pan’ Film. The rumors are true! Disney is currently searching New Zealand for their live-action Peter Pan for a live-action remake of the Disney Classic film, Peter Pan.

The NZ casting call was showcased on popular casting site, Cast It Talent. The casting call shares:

“A boy aged 12-14, any ethnicity. The personification of boyhood, a magical youth who never has to grow up, Peter is the undisputed ruler of Neverland, a magical land where pirates and mermaids and magic is the regular order of life. A magnificent and fearless swordsman and fighter who does constant battle with his old nemesis, Captain Hook, Peter is the leader of a group of perpetually youthful Lost Boys (and Girls), yet his own origins, and how he himself arrived in Neverland, remains mysterious — until much later. In London to retrieve his mischievous lost shadow, Peter flies Wendy Darling and her siblings away to Neverland for the adventure of their lifetime.”

For now, it seems Disney is searching for a New Zealand based actor for the role. You can check out the casting call by CLICKING HERE.

The project is currently being titled “Peter Pan and Wendy”. The film is set to shoot in Canada between April and August of 2020. No other casting decisions have been shared at this time. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney!

Many titles seem to derive from Disney Channel Original Series’, as most films have already been added to the streaming service. Disney will be adding more and more titles as time goes by, but it is fun to walk down memory lane for those of us who thought we would never get the chance to see these shows and films again!

What other titles do you wish were on Disney+? We would love to hear your choices in the comments! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney+

Make Use Of Those Disney Park Maps With These Easy To Make Coasters!

By

Catie

January 20, 2020

So you just got home from Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you’re unpacking, and you realize that multiple Disney Park Maps have made it home with you – now if you’re like me and you can’t bear to part with anything Disney (even if it’s a folded up, stained Magic Kingdom map), then might I suggest you ‘upcycle’ them into something totally awesome you can use every day in your home?

These Disney Park Coasters are easy and cheap to make, and not to mention every time you rest a drink on one you are reminded of just how magical WDW is!

Ok. So let’s get crafting!

You’ll need:

Plain ceramic tiles (I bought these white ones at Home Depot for 13 cents apiece)
Felt furniture pads (likewise, these came from Home Depot, $4 will get you 150 of them)
Mod Podge decoupage glue
Small Paintbrush
Disney Park Maps! (For this I used one of each for a set of four coasters)
Scissors

How To Do It:

Cut the maps to slightly smaller than the front side of the ceramic tile
Spread a very thin layer of the decoupage glue on the back of the map, and carefully press to the front of the tile (go little by little when putting it on to avoid wrinkles/air bubbles)
Once the map is positioned correctly on the front of the tile, coat the front and sides of the tile/map with another thin layer of the decoupage glue
Repeat the process for all 4 tiles and let dry overnight
Repeat step 3 the next day, and for the next few days to build up a nice thick protective Mod Podge layer on the coasters (personally I did a good 5-7 coats on each one, and I also coated the bottom of each one a few times too)

Once you have your desired number of decoupage glue layers, you can adhere the felt pads to each corner of the back of the coasters (the ones I bought were self-adhesive, as were most of the ones at Home Depot)

And then voila! The beautiful finished product! One for each Park

The perfect place to set my morning coffee! I ended up making two sets of the coasters– one for my dad for his birthday (which he LOVED and they now sit proudly on his bar!), and one for my house too – initially I wasn’t sure how the mod podge would adhere to the shiny surface of the tile, so I spray painted one set with matte black paint. Turns out, the mod podge stuck fine to both, so I kept the black and gave the plain white to my dad

We keep getting closer and closer to the grand opening of TRON!

Just last month TRON Lightcycles were on display at Magic Kingdom as a photo op for guests and now on a recent trip to the park we couldn’t help but notice that new walls are going up on what it seems to be the part of the attraction that will be inside.

The exterior part of the track looks like is mostly completed with still some work left to be done on what seems to be the launch area of the coaster and the concrete floor.

If you would like to get a better a look of TRON head over to the Storybook Circus area in Fantasyland.

TRON Lightcycle is a rollercoaster ride attraction that will allow guests to board a train of two wheeled lightcycles for a thrilling race through the digital frontier and is expected to open in 2021 just in time for the park 50th anniversary!

Take a look at the construction update of TRON here:

A new Monsters Inc. bus design has been spotted at Walt Disney World and it’s so cute it’s scary! Mike Wazowski and Sully are ready to take you around Walt Disney World on the newest addition to the resort’s transportation sytem.

The design features Sully and Mike Wazowski and their monster-sized faces on the side of the bus. Only Mike Wazowksi’s eye and top left horn can be seen- he’s probably making sure that Roz isn’t around to spoil any fun! We can see almost all of Sully’s face, with a big smile to greet any oncoming passengers.

On board, guests can look forward to new blue seating, vinyl flooring, fully functioning air conditioning, USB charging ports, and even Wi-Fi.

After a long wait, new Disney Parks Designer Collection ears are headed our way! Stunning new John Coulter Minnie Ears will make their debut Friday January, 24th! The beautiful Sara of Arendelle also kindly shared these exclusive photos with us, and they are stunning!

These will be be releasing exclusively at Epcot for the International Festival of the Arts on January 24th! However, they will be available for everyone, and on shopDisney in March! John Coulter is one of the select few official fine artists for the Disney Parks. His whimsical paintings can also be found in various shops and galleries throughout Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

The ears are simply gorgeous, and have a very delicate design of Mickey on one ear, and Minnie on the other. The printed design on the ears actually look like they were hand painted on, exquisite! Gorgeous silk flowers and velvet leaves in shades of purple and pink adorn the front.

The back of the ears have a elegant striped print, that reminds me of victorian fabrics. A delicate pink bow also tops off the chic look for the back.

The new John Coulter Minnie Ears are also the perfect accessory for Spring too! I feel that the enchanting florals are woven perfectly into the whimsical painting look. Sara of course looks absolutely marvelous in them as well! Be sure to follow her on Instagram!

Will you be adding these new Disney Parks Designer Collection Minnie ears to your collection?

Disney Cracking Down on Baby Yoda Merchandise from Other Sources

Say it ain’t so! It might become a little harder to get your custom Baby Yoda Merchandise. Disney has been putting a squash on sources like Etsy selling The Child Merchandise. Everyone just wants their hands on some Baby Yoda gear! It took Disney a little while to get all their Baby Yoda merch together and on shelves, it is still slowly rolling out now. Meanwhile, people wanted all things Baby Yoda. Disney will be having a line out this March 2020. Outlets such as Etsy caught on quickly and started mass producing The Child stuffed animals, shirts, socks, ears, etc. So much so that Disney is now having those sites take down their products.

Disney doesn’t always do this but with the sensation that Baby Yoda is and the potential profit from him already proving to be massive, they are sending notices and having Etsy remove products that are trying to copy the likeness of the cutest creation dare I say possibly ever. This has messed up orders for some and cancelled orders for others. Some vendors are trying to find unique ways to get around it, and still able to produce items in his likeness, for now. Build-A-Bear has partnered with Disney and just announced they are coming out with a Baby Yoda, so you will still be able to get your plushy plushy. Target also has pre-orders starting for their Disney official Baby Yoda merchandise. “This is the way.” -Disney

While we are all waiting around for fall 2020 to come so we can have another season of The Mandalorian to gush over Baby Yoda about, stay connected with Chip and Co so we can keep you informed on any new Baby Yoda Merchandise that Disney officially rolls out with.

The New Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along Enchants Guests at Epcot

By

January 20, 2020

Epcot is undergoing a massive transformation. Besides the Festival of the Arts, there are three new shows that made their debut at the theme park. One of the new shows is the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along at Epcot’s France Pavilion.

This show is quite different from the Frozen Sing-Along show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. For starters, the show is entirely on-screen and has no entertainers hosting it. But the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is still a very fun show for its unique storytelling. The show is 15 minutes long and plays daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the Palais du Cinema in France Pavilion.

Angela Lansbury narrates the show as her Mrs. Potts character. She retells the tale as old as time with a twist. What’s surprising is that she says LeFou is the one responsible for bringing Belle and Beast together! It might confuse some people at first, but it quickly makes sense. They added new footage of LeFou with him as the unsung hero of this fairytale sing-along. Without spoiling the details, the show has new humorous scenes of LeFou as a matchmaker working behind the scenes during the events of the animated movie. You’ll laugh at the new bits as they transition to the next musical number. The words of each song are placed on screen for guests to join in on the fun of singing as an audience.

Beauty and the Beast fans will enjoy seeing the new content. I was caught by surprise with the new scenes focused on LeFou and found it to be a worthy reason to check out the show. We hope you check out the new Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along to see it for yourself!
