With this new collection, Love Tribe shows young women that they can continue their love of Barbie and still “live in the Dreamhouse.” The line is a collection of beautiful colorful tops. The collection will also feature plus size exclusive pieces, adorned with phrases such as “Barbie: Property of No One,” and “Positive Vibes Only.” As a curvier girl, I’m really excited to see the new plus sized options! The tops were developed based on current trends in junior’s fashion including subtle tie dye, crop tops, and modern gradient styles.

Love Tribe’s athletic Disney apparel line was wonderfully cute and sassy, and the Barbie collaboration is the most recent in Love Tribe’s reimagining of popular, nostalgic characters. In 2017, the brand released lines featuring beloved Disney Princesses, ‘90s Nickelodeon animated stars such as the Rugrats crew and Ren & Stimpy, as well as the classic Peanuts cartoon gang. I can’t wait to see what other nostalgic characters we’ll see next!

New Barbie x Love Tribe Apparel Collection is available now at select Macy’s locations, and online.

This much-loved quick service location will also serve up speciality poutines for a limited time throughout the year.   We are pretty excited to share with you the one currently on offer! Check out this tweet released by Disney earlier this week.

The Shanghai Resort will offer Guests unlimited opportunities to celebrate the Year of the Dog unlike anywhere else in China. Your favorite Disney Characters will be dressed up for the festivities,  immersive experiences will be offered to honor Chinese traditions,  and much more such as exclusive merchandise and delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine!

This year, Shanghai Disney Resort will be magnificently decorated with Chinese New Year themes, colors and décor encompassing the entire resort, with bright red and gold Mickey lanterns, traditional Chinese Couplets, bright flowers and other holiday-influenced decorations that will ignite warm memories and inspire guests of all ages.

Throughout the holiday season, Mickey Avenue will be a hub of celebration, hosting Mickey Mouse and his pals dressed in their Chinese New Year outfits to take photos with guests in front of themed photo backdrops. Pluto will be bringing extra energy to the Year of the Dog celebration, dressed in his “god of fortune” costume. On the bustling avenue, lucky guests will also be treated to special wishing cards and golden chocolate coins that symbolize good fortune.

As an authentic Chinese New Year tradition, a daily drum ceremony in the Gardens of Imagination—led by none other than Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto—will welcome guests as they arrive in Shanghai Disneyland, beating classic rhythms that will fill each day with wishes for prosperity and happiness.

Adding to the fun and excitement of the holiday, at special times throughout the day, Mickey and the gang will gather on Celebration Square for a brand-new, high-energy performance: Shanghai Swing. Inspired by the Lunar New Year and Shanghai’s historic jazz and swing traditions, Shanghai Swing will feature Characters and dancers in beautiful vintage Shanghai costumes. Guests will enjoy watching the dances and even trying their own moves, too.

Guests can carry those wishing cards with them and find even more cards in the Garden of the Twelve Friends, which has been transformed into a magical “Wishing Garden” for the holiday.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

This weekend we welcomed the kick off of the 2018 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! While browsing the booths and admiring the art around the World Showcase, we stopped by the Refreshment Port to try some of the newest additions to their menu: the famous Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and the new Poutine!

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

What is poutine, you might ask? It an amazing French-Canadian concoction of some of our favorite foods- french fries, gravy, and cheese (often in the form of cheese curds). It’s like an update on the classic mashed potato and gravy combination!

We were introduced to this dish for the first time a few years ago when we went to eat dinner at Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion at Epcot. Le Cellier’s original Signature Poutine is a decadent blend of savory flavors! Believe it or not it, this was also our refueling dish of choice after our first runDisney half marathon: The Star Wars Half Marathon- The Dark Side. (If you’ve ever thought about trying out a runDisney race, check out the virtual Star Wars Half Marathon here!)

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

Now, after a long day of walking around EPCOT, you can refuel with these new treats on demand at the Refreshment Port, just on the edge of the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT.  Some of the best news of all is for all you Canadian Cheese Soup fans because you won’t have to wait for EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival for this legendary treat!

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

If you love the soup, you now have a great new way to enjoy it, too. The new poutine uses the famous Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup as the gravy for the dish, which creates plenty of cheesy goodness before they top it off with more cheese- with cheese curds! Yum! If you are not usually a cheddar cheese soup fan because many of them add broccoli, definitely try this out. It is tasty and broccoli-free!

This famous soup is nice and creamy with a hint of sharpness that Canadian cheddar is known for. There is a smoky bacon flavor that balances the sharpness of the cheese and makes it an excellent, hearty winter dish with a well-rounded flavor.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

While I usually prefer brown gravy or the red wine reduction paired with truffles on the classic Le Cellier Signature Poutine, this surprise combination was a welcome change to my poutine routine. The fries were nice and crisp and held up well to the addition of the cheddar cheese soup “gravy”. The poutine is only $5.99 plus tax and the cup of soup is $4.19 plus tax.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine Arrive at EPCOT!

As Florida’s winter weather has been hanging around, this snack stop is a good way to warm your tummy on your trip around the world.

What’s your favorite EPCOT or Festival snack? Let us know below!

‘Black Widow’ Standalone Movie In Development With New Writer Named For Film

Black Widow Movie

Looking for more movies with a strong female lead? Good news! Variety is reporting that Scarlett Johansson is getting her own standalone “Black Widow” movie. Marvel has not officially greenlighted the film but Jac Schaeffer has been brought on board to write the script.

Schaeffer recently became known for her screenplay titled “The Shower” a comedy about an alien invasion during a baby shower. Anne Hathaway was so impressed that she signed on to produce and star in it. Hathaway has also asked Schaeffer to write the screenplay for her next project “Nasty Women”, a new take on “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” with women taking the lead.

Marvel has had no official comment on the “Black Widow” project but with the fan base strongly pushing for her character to get her own movie the announcement can’t be too far off now.

What do you think? Would you be excited for a standalone Black Widow movie?

Refillable Soap Dispensers Coming to More Disney World Resorts

Refillable Soap Dispensers Coming to More Disney World Resorts

Looks like Disney is doing away with the small toiletry soaps at more Disney World resorts. Pop Century is reported to be getting the refillable soap and shampoo dispensers sometime this week. No word as to when or if other Disney World resorts will be getting them. But I assume they will be rolling out eventually.
