Ever since the Epcot Minnie Mouse Ears were announced we’ve been eagerly awaiting their arrival! Well it looks like they have finally hit the store at Epcot, and they are fabulous! There are five different pairs available, four inspired by countries around the World Showcase, and one pair representing the beloved Bubblegum Wall!

These beautiful new ears feature a Spaceship Earth print, with a bow inspired by France, Germany, Mexico, or the UK, and the Bubblegum wall! Check out the close ups of these beauties below:

Although the Bubblegum Wall ears stand out as not being a country, I feel like it’s only fitting to add them to the collection, since the ears have a Spaceship Earth Print.

These ears also have the embroidery on the side of the headband that we’re starting to see more and more on the Disney Parks Minnie Ears!

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Gets a Seventh Season

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Gets a Seventh Season

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. came to ABC in 2013 and has been going strong ever since.  It is so strong, in fact, that ABC has already ordered a seventh season.  With so many of the Netflix series coming to an unexpected end, there were fans that suspected Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be next.  It looks like that is not to be the case.  Season six does not air until July 2019, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping ABC.  Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D has been known to tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the movies are released.  It is possible they are using this time to avoid any repercussions from Avengers: Infinity War.  By waiting, they have eliminated the need to work within the confines of Avengers: Infinity War and the sequel due out in early 2019.

Some of the characters were left in a sort of limbo at the end of season five, so it will be interesting to see how the story progresses in the coming seasons.  They have also been known to bring in guest stars from the movies.  Perhaps we will be seeing some familiar faces in the coming seasons?  Rumors of Chloe Bennet (Daisy “Skye” Johnson) in her new outfit as Quake have started to circulate in recent days.  Also returning to the show for season six (and seven?) are Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Henry Simmons, Natalia Cordova-Buckley, and Jeff Ward.  With so many of our favorite characters returning, it is bound to continue to be an adventure.

What do you think about this new season order? Let us know in the comments below!

Experience Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Experience Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Experience Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Today at D23’s Destination D details were announced about the new first-ever ride-through attraction themed to Mickey Mouse! Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway was developed by Imagineers to create new two-dimensional cartoon into a ride experience.  The ride sounds like a fun and interactive experience but for me will still be a little bittersweet as it will be going into the old Grauman’s Chinese Theatre replacing the Great Movie Ride which was one of my favorite places to cool off and relax while visiting the parks. The lines were never long and it was always nice and cool in there.

On the attraction, the fun begins when you see the premiere of a new cartoon short with Mickey and Minnie getting ready for a picnic. As they head out, they drive alongside a train and find out that the engineer is Goofy. Then, one magical moment lets you step into the movie and on Goofy’s train for a wacky, wild ride. The ride is set to open in 2019 alongside so many other amazing new additions to Hollywood Studios and Disney parks.

Take a Look at the New Disney Skyliner

This week, Walt Disney World Resort announced on the Disney Parks Blog that the Disney Skyliner gondolas would be operating starting in the fall of 2019.  Today, they showed us the gondolas themselves.  Bob Chapek, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Consumer Products unveiled the new gondola to the fans at D23’s Destinations D: Celebrating Mickey Mouse Event.  The gondolas will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot to three existing hotels and one brand new one.  They are Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.  They will also link to the brand new Disney Vacation Club property, Disney’s Riviera Resort.  We have also been told they will have passive ventilation to keep air moving!

Some of the gondolas will have these adorable character designs on them, as well!  This will make it look like some of your favorite Disney characters are riding along with you in the gondola.  The picture above is just a taste of the designs that will be incorporated.  They have promised us the “Fab Five,” some attraction characters, movie characters, and more.  We are super excited about the new gondolas and can’t wait to ride the Disney Skyliner.
