Frozen 2 Brings New Songs to Love – Will They Be The Next “Let It Go”

Frozen 2 Brings New Songs to Love - Will They Be The Next "Let It Go"

Frozen 2 Brings New Songs to Love - Will They Be The Next "Let It Go"

Frozen 2 Brings Four New Songs to Love – In an interview with Variety Jennifer Lee said “We have a new song that I think is an evolution,” Jennifer Lee, co-director of the first and second films, told Variety on Monday at the “Ralph Breaks the Internet” premiere in L.A. “It’s its own song…Bobby [Lopez] and Kristen [Anderson-Lopez] just delivered it three weeks ago. We’ve been working with them for two years and this song just came in and I love it.” “… the song is one of four already chosen for the movie. “We have three more to go,” she said.

Frozen 2 Brings New Songs to Love -Will They Be The Next "Let It Go"

Exciting news for Frozen fans! More adventures, more thrills, more reasons to fall in love with the sisters Elsa and Anna all over again. Lee also teased that the new film will, of course, focus on Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), but it will be “bigger, more epic” than the first: “They’re going to go far out of Arendelle.”

“Frozen 2” will be released on Nov. 22, 2019, a week earlier than its original Nov. 27 date, announced earlier this month by Disney. Will the new song bring fans as much joy a Let It Go?  We shall see! Stay tuned to Chip and Co for all the latest news and updates as we edge closer to the release date in 2019.

The Magic Kingdom Commemorates Veteran’s Day 2018

The Magic Kingdom Commemorates Veteran's Day 2018

Annually, November 11th of each year, Veteran’s Day, is a day to recognize our service men and women of the past and present. Specifically, those that have made sacrifices in giving of themselves in service to our country in numerous combat zones across the globe. Magic Kingdom park is no different! And Disney does a wonderful job of recognizing veterans for their faithful service!

Although today, the 12th, is considered an observed holiday, yesterday the Magic Kingdom commemorated Veteran’s Day with a special ceremony. A “flag retreat” ceremony was carried out and meant of honor both active duty military members and service/ combat veterans.

The Magic Kingdom Commemorates Veteran's Day 2018

The ceremony is a special way in which Disney says “Thank You” to those who have given so much of themselves so selflessly. Not only is the retreat ceremony designed to thank visiting service members and veterans, but also those who work for Disney. The Magic Kingdom and Disney take the opportunity every year to especially show their gratitude towards their own cast members who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

The ceremony, which requires an Honor Guard to remove the flag, insisted on two prior service cast members being selected by their superiors to assist with the retreat. The honors include removal and receiving of the flag after it has flown over the Magic Kingdom during the holiday, and leading a procession down Main Street U.S.A.

The Magic Kingdom Commemorates Veteran's Day 2018

Disney is no stranger to supporting military personnel. They were well represented in an NYC parade yesterday in honor of Veteran’s Day while carrying a banner that stated: “HEROS WORK HERE.” In the past, Disney and their cartoons have also been instrumental moral boosters for war efforts, specifically WWII.

Here at Chip and Co. we would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your service to our great nation! As does Disney, we are eternally grateful to your sacrifices and hope you know that they do not go unnoticed. Thank you veterans!

Space Ranger Slush at Launching Pad

Space Ranger Slush at Launching Pad

There is a new galactic treat that has landed in Tomorrowland! The Space Ranger Slush at Launching Pad is a refreshing magical delight that we would have again and again. For $5.99 you get this green apple and grape Fanta flavored slush including a green apple rock candy coated straw.  Thes colors are made to look like Buzz Lightyear and while the green is a little off, we can kinda see it. 

Space Ranger Slush at Launching Pad

The straw is pretty and makes an Instagram worthy drink option, but drink it really fast(try to avoid brain freeze) because the straw is paper under the rock candy and it starts to lose its structure fast. Another option is to throw in the new Gingerbread Mickey souvenier straw and use that.  The rock candy is a sweet taste on your lips, but you can’t really eat it because it starts to break down on the paper itself.

We love all of the fun drinks Disney comes out with to keep us cool at the parks. We love even more that they make them fun to look at and take photos with. What is your favorite cold beverage at the parks?
