Design-wise, the Woody Forte 2 pulls straight from the sheriff’s iconic outfit, sporting a yellow top with red windowpane lines, black-and-white cow print, and a brown sole that features “Bonnie” written on the bottom (Should be Andy). The Jessie Forte 2 matches that energy with a vibrant red upper, yellow collar trim, a belt buckle right on the laces, a cute bow appliqué on the back, and that signature cow print riding along the side.

For those who prefer a sleeker look with mid-level cushioning, the Buzz and Alien sneakers are designed using Clove’s Prima style.

On the flip side, Jasmine’s collection brings all the rich, jewel-toned elegance of Agrabah right into your accessory rotation. Her patterns “Jasmine Intricate Medallions” and “Jasmine Medallion Smoky Grape” are packed with deep teals, purples, and vibrant blues. The geometric, ornate tile-work designs look incredibly sophisticated, and if you look closely, you’ll spot Princess Jasmine herself alongside her loyal tiger companion, Rajah. It’s the ultimate vibe for anyone looking to add a regal, vibrant pop of color to their park outfit or travel setup.

Whether you’re gearing up for a cozy stay-at-home weekend with one of the $75 plush fleece throws, or packing for a magical weekend getaway with a $145 original large duffel, there is a piece here for every kind of routine. The collection is crafted in Vera Bradley’s signature washable premium cotton, meaning these pieces are built to handle real life and real park days. It’s a limited-edition launch, so if your favorite princess is calling your name, you definitely won’t want to sleep on these!

A South Florida woman is facing criminal charges after authorities say she worked alongside her underage daughter in a theft scheme that targeted merchandise stores at Disney Springs.

Florida Woman Arrested for Using Her Daughter to Steal $ in Disney Pins

According to an Orange County Sheriff’s Office report, 52-year-old Ivette Perez of Miami was arrested and charged with third-degree grand theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor following an incident that took place on April 12.

The investigation began when employees at Disney’s Pin Traders reportedly observed a juvenile girl placing collectible Disney pins into her bag without paying for them. Store employees estimated the girl may have taken between 15 and 40 pins during the incident. While the theft was unfolding, employees became suspicious when an adult woman, later identified as Perez, allegedly attempted to distract cast members by requesting a clear plastic bag.

Authorities say the juvenile later left the store and was eventually stopped at World of Disney. When deputies investigated, they discovered the pair were allegedly in possession of more than $2,000 worth of stolen merchandise from Disney Springs locations.

According to the arrest report, Perez admitted she knew her daughter was stealing merchandise and did not have enough money to purchase the items. Investigators also cited text messages between the two that allegedly discussed hurrying up and returning to the car before they were caught with the stolen goods.

The sheriff’s report concluded that Perez knowingly assisted and encouraged the thefts while maintaining possession of stolen merchandise herself. Court records show Perez has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case remains ongoing.

The incident serves as a reminder that Disney Springs security and store teams actively monitor retail locations and work closely with law enforcement when thefts occur.

The newly installed scaffolding is located to the right of the resort’s main entrance and currently reaches up to the lowest levels of guest room balconies. Temporary barriers have been put in place around the work zone, preventing guests from accessing the area while crews continue construction.

Construction activity is most visible on the far right side of the building, where tarps and construction walls can be seen around several balconies. These rooms are currently unavailable to guests while refurbishment work is underway. On the ground level, crews have also been refreshing portions of the resort’s exterior, including repainting support poles beneath the porte cochere.

This refurbishment project first began in September 2024 and has seen its completion timeline extended multiple times. While the work was originally expected to wrap up in 2025, Disney has since pushed the project timeline through the end of 2027. Despite the ongoing construction, the resort remains fully operational, with the majority of guest areas, dining locations, and amenities continuing to welcome visitors.

According to newly filed documents, Walt Disney World has contracted Buena Vista Construction Company to provide labor, materials, and electrical work for a project on Discovery Island. The permit points to an area of sidewalk located between the Tree of Life, Island Mercantile, and Discovery Trading Company, placing the work right in one of the busiest pathways in the park.

While any permit near the Tree of Life is sure to get Disney fans talking, this filing does not appear to be connected to a major attraction, retheme, or expansion project. In fact, the permit was filed through Disney’s Sourcing & Procurement team and assigned to Buena Vista Construction Company, Disney’s in-house construction division that typically handles smaller-scale projects and infrastructure work.

At this time, Disney has not announced what improvements or changes are planned for the area. The work could be anything from pathway enhancements and electrical upgrades to guest flow improvements around Discovery Island. Whatever the project may be, it is another sign that Disney continues investing in upkeep and enhancements throughout Animal Kingdom while larger projects, including the Tropical Americas expansion, continue to take shape elsewhere in the park.

Toy Story 5 Character Sparks Debate as Animator Claims Pixar Copied Cartoon Network Design

Animator Peter Browngardt, creator of the Cartoon Network series Uncle Grandpa, recently took to social media to call out Pixar over one of the film’s newly revealed characters. The character in question is Pizza with Sunglasses, a pizza slice sporting shades that will be voiced by music superstar Bad Bunny. Browngardt claims the design bears a striking resemblance to Pizza Steve, a fan-favorite character from Uncle Grandpa who is also a pizza slice known for wearing sunglasses.

Browngardt shared his thoughts on X, jokingly writing, “Pizza Steve is gonna be in Toy Story 5!?!” before adding that Pixar had simply “ripped off” his character design. While the comment was made with a dose of humor, it has sparked discussion among animation fans who quickly noticed the similarities between the two pizza-themed characters.

The debate comes as excitement continues to build for Toy Story 5, which arrives in theaters on June 19, 2026. The film will see Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of Andy’s beloved toys facing a new challenge as they compete with the modern technology and electronics that have captured the attention of today’s kids. Returning favorites will be joined by several new characters, including Lilypad, Smarty Pants, and the now-controversial Pizza with Sunglasses.

New Photos Reveal Huge Progress on Magic Kingdom’s Cars Land Construction

The transformation of the former Rivers of America into Piston Peak National Park is racing ahead at Magic Kingdom, and these new photos from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad provide one of the clearest looks yet at the massive scale of the project.

From the Big Thunder Mountain queue, guests can now see enormous concrete retaining walls rising from the former riverbed. Large sections of the future attraction footprint have been excavated and graded, with construction crews continuing work on what will eventually become the home of the new Cars-themed expansion. The size of the newly constructed walls offers a glimpse at just how much elevation change and terrain Disney plans to incorporate into the ambitious project.

IMG

Several of the photos also showcase extensive formwork and structural elements taking shape near Liberty Square. Cinderella Castle towers in the distance, creating a striking contrast between Magic Kingdom’s iconic centerpiece and one of the park’s largest construction projects in decades. Construction equipment, utility work, and staging areas fill the former waterfront space as Disney continues converting the area into Piston Peak National Park.

IMG

Elsewhere across the site, large stacks of concrete drainage pipes and construction materials hint at the significant infrastructure work still underway behind the scenes. Disney has previously shared that the new land will feature waterfalls, geysers, waterways, and mountainous terrain inspired by America’s National Parks, making this groundwork a critical part of bringing the rugged landscape to life.

IMG

When completed, Piston Peak National Park will feature two Cars-themed attractions, including a thrilling off-road rally race through mountain trails, mud holes, and geysers. A second family-friendly attraction will be designed for younger racers, while the entire land will blend National Park-inspired architecture with the world of Pixar’s Cars franchise.

We stopped by to give it a try, and if you’re a fan of Orange Fanta or orange soda in general, this one is an easy recommendation. The bright citrus flavor is refreshing and especially welcome during the hot Florida summer afternoons. While it isn’t a groundbreaking dessert, sometimes a simple frozen drink is exactly what you need when the temperatures start climbing.

The whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles add plenty of festive flair, though they don’t significantly change the flavor profile. The standout topping is actually the white chocolate rainbow Mickey coin, which adds a sweet finish and a fun Pride-themed touch to the treat.
