Yacht & Beach Club 2018 Easter Egg Display Photo Tour

Easter week is upon us and we were excited to tour this year’s Easter Egg displays at the Walt Disney World Resorts over the weekend. You can currently view the displays at the Yacht & Beach Club as well as The Grand Floridian. Here is our photo tour of the Yacht & Beach Club 2018 Easter Egg Display.

The Beach Club Resort display is located front and center as you enter the main lobby area. Here you will spot beautiful eggs inspired by Baymax, Stitch, Peter Pan, Villains, Wreck It Ralph and Chip to name a few. Be sure to search for the Hidden Mickey’s too!

The Yacht Club is featuring a small table display of lovely eggs as well. You can find this display across from the Ale & Compass Restaurant just off the main lobby.

We always enjoy visiting the resorts to admire their seasonal displays. This is the 2nd year the Yacht & Beach Club have presented an Easter Egg Display. If you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in the next couple of weeks, be sure to stop by and see these amazing eggs. The Yacht & Beach Club 2018 Easter Egg Display will be available until April 10th. We at Chip and Company wish you all a beautiful Easter.

See our short video tour of this year’s display here:

“Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art”

Epcot World Showcase does a fantastic job of brining authentic cultural experiences to guests. This summer a brand new exhibition called “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art” will be coming to the American Heritage Gallery at The American Adventure.

Featured artists will include fashion designer Loren Aragon (Acoma Pueblo), noted doll maker Glenda McKay (Ingalik-Athabascan), and Juanita Growing Thunder (Assiniboine Sioux) from the Growing Thunder family of Montana.

Just like the other exhibits we’ve seen at American Heritage Gallery, “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art” will feature interactive elements where some of the artists will share, in their own words, inspirations behind their works and their creative process.

This new exhibit is made possible through the collaboration of the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C.

The American Adventure isn’t the only country getting an updated exhibit. Updates to the art gallery in Mexico happened last fall and more exciting work is underway to refresh the gallery in Norway.

“Captain Marvel” filming is underway. Principal photography began in Los Angeles for the upcoming Marvel Studios film which will also shoot on location in Fresno, California, as well as locations in Louisiana, including Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

The film is set to release on March 8, 2019. “Captain Marvel” is directed by the writing/directing team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.

With an all star cast including Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law, we are excited to see this previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe come to the big screen.

Based on the Marvel comic character first appearing in 1968, “Captain Marvel” continues the lineage of epic big-screen adventures chronicled in other Marvel films, most recently, “Black Panther,” which is on track to the become the highest grossing superhero film at the domestic box office.

“Captain Marvel” was written by Meg LeFauve, Nicole Perlman, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Liz Flahive & Carly Mensch, and Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck. Kevin Feige is producing. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jonathan Schwartz, Patty Whitcher and Stan Lee are executive producers, with Lars Winther serving as co-producer/first assistant director and David Grant serving as co-producer.

Bloom into Spring with Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys

Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys

Move over rose gold, Millennial Pink is taking over for Spring! Stunning new Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys are headed to Disneyland and Walt Disney World next month. These delicate pink beauties are the same soft hue as the Millennial Pink MagicBand that was released earlier this year.

Bloom into Spring with Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys

New sparkling Minnie Ears are always a hot item at the Disney Parks, and I’m certain these shimmering pink ears will be no exception. These are an all over sequin pair of ears, with a stuffed bow. These have a very soft and ethereal feel, and are very on point with the pastel trend this season.

Bloom into Spring with Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys

If you missed out on the Millennial Pink Spirit Jersey that was released at the end of last year like I did, you’ll be happy to know we’re getting another chance. This Spirit Jersey features the same soft and graceful pastel pink as the original, with a twist. Instead of the logo and park name in silver glitter, the new jersey will have a delicate light pink glitter! I honestly like this version more, and I can’t wait to pair it with my Millennial Pink MagicBand! The last Millennial Pink Spirit Jersey sold out quickly, and I’m betting this one won’t last long either.

You’ll find these delicate Millennial Pink Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys next month at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Are you team Rose Gold, or Millennial Pink? Or are you like me, and love both? Now all we need is Mint Minnie Mouse Ears!
