New Film ‘Godmothered’ Coming To Disney+. According to an exclusive article with DiscussingFilm, Disney+ has named another exclusive film coming to the streaming service called Godmothered. They also announced that Sharon Maguire is in final talks with Disney to direct the film for the new streaming service.
Sharon Maguire is best known for directing Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones’s Baby.
Though a synopsis for the film has not been announced, it is safe to say that based off the title for the film, we will get to see the focus shift to Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother in her own story. Godmothered is expected to begin filming in early 2020 and will premiere sometime on Disney+.

Something has been missing in our lives and we just figured out what it is: Pixar mini-golf! Pixar Putt has officially announced its pop-up business in Perth, Australia, and features our favorite characters from films like Monsters Inc. and The Incredibles. Fun for all ages, guests are sure to be delighted whether they score a hole-in-one or not!
Visitors begin by choosing between 9 and 18 holes, depending on how long they’d like the experience to last. No live characters are at Pixar Putt, but there is a photo opportunity with Woody and Buzz Lightyear at the entrance. No doubt guests will get lots of colorful photos of the various courses anyway, which feature designs from films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Inside Out, Coco, and more! Some favorites to look out for will certainly be the aliens from Toy Story, an Edna Mode inspired course, and some seagulls from Finding Nemo. No matter guests’ favorite Pixar film, they’ll be sure to see familiar faces and scenes.
The experience will be open from Friday September 27th to Sunday November 3rd and is already selling tickets. Guests can begin putting at 10 AM and closing times vary by day, with adult-only ”After Dark” hours from 7 to 10 PM Thursday through Saturday.
This Pixar Putt pop-up certainly has us envying our Australian friends! If you’re one of the lucky ones near Perth, be sure and check it out while you can. For more information click here.
There are many changes happening around Epcot and the construction walls are up in full force. One of the many closures was Epcot’s Character Spot. We were excited to find out that instead of just closing this epic character meet and greet it has just been moved to a new temporary location.
This past Saturday was the last day for Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy in their old meeting spot. The signs are already down and the black tarp is up. For now guests can find them across the breezeway in Innovations West. This was where Wreck-it Ralph meet during the holidays last year.
The good news is there’s plenty of signage to lead you in the right direction. The new temporary location for the Character Spot is almost literally right around the corner from the old place. If you’re heading towards the Lands Pavilion the new Character Spot is on your right-hand side. You can get a glimpse of Nemo in the distance.
More good news is that three of our friends from the Fabulous Five are still meeting there. Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy are still the three characters you get to meet. They even have new backdrops!
I still think this is the fastest way to meet three of the most loved Disney characters. I’m excited to see where they will be going once all the refurbishments are completed at Epcot. Stay tuned to Chip and Co. for more news as all these exciting changes happen around Epcot.
Disney has been slowly rolling out new Disney Character designs on their buses at Walt Disney World. I am so glad Disney is finally taking advantage of this instead of the plain grey designs…
Earlier this summer they introduced us to Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto and fans went crazy! Then just last week some more new bus designs featuring Dumbo and Guardians of the Galaxy were spotted around the theme parks.
Today we were given a look at even more designs that are available for your transportation needs.
Now guests will be able to enjoy a ‘Hakuna Matata’ journey with Simba from Disney’s “The Lion King,” experience a whole lot of laughs with Mike and Sully from “Monsters, Inc.,” or see how far they’ll go with Moana – as these new designs full of character and fun hit the roads around Walt Disney World!
If that wasn’t enough…in the coming weeks keep an eye out for buses featuring characters from Disney’s “Frozen” and many more.
And, similar to the buses featuring Mickey & the Gang, these buses have those new blue seats and laminate floors throughout. Some of the buses will also have USB charging ports conveniently located between seats, so you can re-charge your devices and not miss a moment of capturing and sharing your Disney vacation memories.
We are also hearing word that they might also have Free Disney Wifi. (Not confirmed as of yet so treat this as gossip for now)
I love the new designs they have released so far. Who would you like to see on an upcoming bus design?
The Fairy Godmother must be working overtime at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! Why might you ask? Because the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Spirit Jersey is très magnifique! This Spirit Jersey is actually an exclusive that you can only get if you have a prince or princess experiencing the magic of BBB!

Frozen: Enchanting New Magical Extravaganzas for Guests
One of the most popular Disney stories is coming to life at Disneyland Paris, and guests will soon be able to experience even more adventures with Anna, Elsa, Olaf and other “Frozen” friends.
Frozen Celebration – Jan. 11 through May 3, 2020
From Jan. 11 to May 3, 2020, Disneyland Paris will introduce an enchanting new family journey with a brand-new event: Frozen Celebration.
The festivities will include a dazzling new show which will run four times a day on the parade route starring Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven with incredible dancers and acrobats along with an enchanting new float! Characters from Arendelle will also take part in the Disney Stars on Parade with a “Frozen”-inspired float. During the evenings, the magical adventures of Anna and Elsa will come to life during Disney Illuminations.
To top it off, guests indulge in exclusive treats and drinks and shop a wide range of souvenirs celebrating the adventures of Anna, Elsa and their friends.
Frozen: A Musical Invitation – Debuting Nov. 17, 2019
Animation Celebration in Walt Disney Studios Park is welcoming a brand-new interactive adventure called Frozen: A Musical Invitation. Where guests will be transported to the kingdom of Arendelle, to play and interact with their favourite characters over several stages and meet the friendliest snowman, Olaf.
When it comes to a Disney park, it is all about the details. The magic makers at Disney ensure that every guest that walks through the gates has the best experience possible. There are many ways that Cast Members and Imagineers enhance the park experience. One unique way is through the power of scent.
In order to improve the park experience, The Walt Disney Company published a patent that they have described as “scent blending”. More specifically, the company said it’s, “providing time-varying scent effects in a scripted entertainment event”. This will help the company to maintain the magic of story telling.
To explain further, while experiencing a Disney park attraction, this scent technology will aid in the transition of the story being told. That patent also stated, “Unlike conventional scent augmentations systems and methods that try to overpower and replace unpleasant odors, this disclosure describes methods and systems for artistically delivering scent in a manner that creates a representations of a physical space and physical objects that are represented in the entertainment experience”.
Although the company did not disclose what experiences will use this technology going forward, we can imagine which up and coming attractions could benefit from the patent. For example, with Epcot getting ready to debut Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, including scents would add a whole new element. As far as existing attractions go, we have noticed similar technology in the Soarin’ attraction. During your journey Soarin’ Over California or Around the World, scents help in the transition from one location to the next. We can’t wait to see what Disney does with this technology next!

The Arendelle Aqua Pearl Cupcake was at the top of my list to try as soon as it was released. Lucky me, when I found out that the cupcake released for Annual Passholders for the Annual Passholder Pop-Up event on Tuesday, September 10th at Epcot at Walt Disney World. The event was held from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Future World West location next to Flavors of Fire.
The event included merchandise, with several amazing surprises, but also several treats to be found around Epcot. These treats were only available on September 10, and you had to show your annual passholder card to purchase one.
The Arendelle Aqua Pearl Cupcake was located at Sunshine Seasons for the passholder preview but will soon be found at Everything Pop at Disney’s Pop Century Resort starting Friday, September 13th.
This chocolate cupcake has a blue cotton candy marshmallow cream center and cotton candy buttercream. It’s adorned with milk chocolate ears, crispy pearls, sanding sugar, and a splash of glitter. This cupcake is $5.49 plus tax and I ‘fell in love at first sight’! It was absolutely delicious. Move over Rose Gold, Arendelle Aqua is the new sheriff in town.
That’s all we have for now, but make sure to follow Chip and Company for all your Disney updates!
‘Avengers: Endgame’ Meme May Reveal NoobMaster69’s Real Identity. It’s been a Marvel mystery since the release of Avengers: Endgame. Who is the dastardly new villain who plagued Korg, Meik, and Thor during their many Fortnite sessions. That villain? NoobMaster69.
The user behind the name was never revealed in the film, but reddit user, u/david9xd, put their bet out online with this clever meme:
That’s right. The God of Mischief himself, Loki. But how?
Though Loki was killed before the events of Avengers: Endgame, he does manage to escape with the Tesseract into an alternate timeline from the Avengers and could easily guise himself as an anonymous user online to troll his brother from “beyond the grave.” Especially since Thor would have no clue Loki may be behind the other screen.
Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki in the MCU spoke with MTV News about reprising his role, this time as the lead in the new Disney+ series, Loki. “I know this character now. I feel that the audience knows him. And playing him — and playing him truthfully, but presenting him with new challenges, which then I’d have to change him in different ways, is the most exciting aspect of it,” said Hiddleston. “You’ve got his very specific gifts. His intelligence, treachery, his mischief, his magic, and then seeing him come up against more formidable opponents, the like of which he has never seen or known. I wish I could tell you what happens, but I can’t.”
“It is a constant source of surprise and delight that these films have connected with people, Hiddleston said to the Hollywood Reporter. “I knew he was a complex figure. Intelligent yet vulnerable. Angry and lost and broken and witty. I thought it was an amazing opportunity and it’s grown into this network of movies. I could never have expected it.”
Loki is set to premiere on Disney+ in Spring 2021.
Are you excited for the Loki series? What other Marvel shows and films are you excited for? Do you hope Thor and Loki reunite someday? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Company for all things Marvel!
