Live-Action Ghost Rider Series For Hulu Has Been Cancelled. Plans to bring a live-action Ghost Rider series to Hulu have fizzled out. Gabriel Luna was set to reprise his roll as hell raiser, Robbie Reyes, who was meant to be the focus for the show.

Deadline reported: “Hulu and the Ghost Rider team had reached a creative impasse which could not be resolved, leading to the streamer’s decision not to move forward with the series.”

Gabriel Luna’s Robbie Reyes made his debut on ABC and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and helped Daisy Johnson while she was wanted for not registering with the Sokovia Accords.

All previously scheduled Marvel Television shows including Marvel’s Helstrom, Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Marvel’s Hit-Monkey, Marvel’s Tigra & Dazzler Show, and Marvel’s Howard the Duck are still on track for release via Hulu.

Are you sad to hear about the Ghost Rider cancellation? What Marvel shows are you excited to see on Hulu? What did you think of Robbie Reyes on ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Woman Recreates the Cinderella Story Using a Glass Arm and the Photos are Magical

Behind every pretty princess and her ball gown is a story of courage and overcoming obstacles. Mandy Pursley, aka the Cinderella of our story, is no different. Growing up as an amputee, there were few role models to look up to who were like her. She eventually became her own hero.

Inspired by her daughter’s school studies about fairytales, Pursley decided it was time to tweak the story to include a princess like herself. She used her advanced sewing know-how to create a fantastic Cinderella ball gown, then sought out master artist Gilbert Lozano to create the glass arm that would turn this classic into a whole new fairytale.

With the help of photographer Kelly Anderson, and her husband ”Prince” Ryan, Pursley was able to create a photo collection that tells the story of Cinderella finding true love at the ball, only this time it’s her glass arm that gets left behind! Creative and beautiful artwork aside, this story opens up a realm of possibilities for little girls just like Mandy who’ve never seen a princess just like them before. But princesses come in all shapes and sizes!

Pursley posted the pictures to Facebook and they went on to be shared over 24 thousand times! Since then, she has started a new Facebook page called Be the Spark Cosplay so that she can share her work with the entire world. When asked about the experience, she told Insider ”My favorite part has been hearing from the parents of children with ‘lucky fins’ like mine, who shared how excited their kids were to finally see a princess who looked like them… [this project] shows that beauty is so much deeper than physical perfection.”.

https://www.facebook.com/mandypursley/posts/10157396522158830?tn=K-R

Cinderella continues to inspire children, both young and old, around the world with her touching courage. This new version of the story only makes her seem more beautiful and heartening. Because a true Disney fairytale is all about making dreams come true.

In early 2021, Disney Cruise Line will return to New Orleans for a limited-time engagement with sailings to the Bahamas and Caribbean, including visits to Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay. A lineup of popular itineraries will continue across the Disney fleet with cruises to tropical destinations from Texas, California and Florida.

Bookings open to the public on Oct. 3, 2019. More details on the itineraries spanning from January through May 2021 can be found on the Ports and Itineraries for 2021 page of disneycruise.com.

Return to New Orleans

Back by popular demand, the Disney Wonder will return to the bayou from late January through February 2021 with a series of magical voyages. A pair of four- and five-night cruises to the Western Caribbean kick off the season from New Orleans. The five-night voyage includes a visit to Progreso, Mexico, a new port of call for Disney Cruise Line on the Yucatan Peninsula. This quaint town is filled with treasures for families to explore together, from ancient Mayan ruins to hidden swimming holes filled with crystal-clear water.

Three seven-night sailings to the Bahamas with a stop at Castaway Cay, plus a 14-night Panama Canal cruise, round out the departures from the Crescent City in early 2021.

Guests sailing from New Orleans will experience the flavors and flair of the Big Easy both onboard the Disney Wonder and ashore. The sounds and sights of New Orleans come to life at Tiana’s Place restaurant, where families are transported to an era of southern charm, spirited jazz and street party celebrations with live music and other surprises inspired by the Disney animated film “The Princess and the Frog.” Before or after their cruise, guests can savor the city’s distinct cuisine, visit family-friendly museums and parks, and take in the sounds of world-renowned live jazz music.

Popular Itineraries from Texas and California

The Disney Wonder will also return to the popular home ports of Galveston and San Diego in early 2021. Guests sailing from Texas can enjoy the white-sand beaches of the Western Caribbean on a series of four- and six-night cruises to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. One seven-night departure will feature stops at Key West, Nassau and Castaway Cay.

Following the season in New Orleans, the Disney Wonder heads to the West Coast for a variety of sailings to Baja and the Mexican Riviera departing from San Diego. Families can hunt for gold aboard a pirate ship in Cabo San Lucas, embark on an off-road adventure in Ensenada or sunbathe on glittering sand beaches on cruises ranging from three to seven nights.

Bahamian and Caribbean Getaways from Florida

Disney Cruise Line will have three ships sailing to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Florida in early 2021, and every cruise includes a day at Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay. This award-winning destination, reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests, is the ultimate escape for everyone in the family. A day at Castaway Cay offers opportunities for adventure and relaxation in a lush, tropical setting filled with classic Disney storytelling.

From Miami, the Disney Magic will sail three-, four- and five-night Bahamian and Western Caribbean cruises.
From Port Canaveral, the Disney Fantasy will sail seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.
From Port Canaveral, the Disney Dream will sail three- and four-night Bahamian cruises.

With a variety of options from Florida, guests can experience spectacular cruises full of fun and relaxation – featuring Broadway-style shows, immersive themed dining, imaginative kids clubs, character encounters and spaces for everyone in the family.

Disney’s Riviera Resort the upcoming Disney Vacation Club Resort, opening in December 2019! In anticipation of the grand opening, we have a sneak peek at some of the Riviera Resort Merchandise! This is a sample of offerings you’ll find when the resort opens this winter.

Disney’s Riviera Resort will celebrate the grandeur of Europe, with a dash of Disney magic of course. Keeping with the crisp luxe themes of the resort, the merchandise also has a sleek and polished feel to it. The tote bag for instance is a sturdy cotton, with navy trim, it has a minimal design with subtle Disney touches.

The apparel and accessories for this collection have the logo simply displayed, with solid colors, and crisp contrasts. I love the delicate filigree Mickey logo, and you can really see how it pops on the Riviera Resort cap.

In addition to the beautiful jewel toned navy, there are also pops of soft pink. The navy and soft pink compliment each other fabulously. From the preview we have seen there are also opportunities to do coordinating styles! The chic look of the Riviera shirts would be especially great for matching!

We can’t wait to see what other fabulous Disney’s Riviera Resort Merchandise will debut, when the resort opens this December!
