In September, the Disney Wonder sets sail for a limited engagement in San Diego, where guests embark on adventures to Baja and the Mexican Riviera. Baja itineraries highlight the region’s famous beaches and exciting water activities with calls on Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico. Two exclusive seven-night Mexican Riviera sailings feature the snorkeling and scuba diving hot spots Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.
Disney Cruise Line guests can enrich their experience by combining select San Diego-based cruises with a pre-cruise package from Adventures by Disney, a leader in family guided group vacations. During this three-night itinerary, guests embark on a rare behind-the-magic visit to The Walt Disney Studios and Disney Archives, a private tour of Walt Disney Imagineering and a visit to the place where it all began — the Disneyland Resort.
Beginning late November, the Disney Wonder will make Galveston its home port for a special series of sailings to the Caribbean and Bahamas, with options at four, six and seven nights. Caribbean cruises include stops in Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Bahamian itineraries feature stops in Castaway Cay and Key West, Florida.

Have you gone to Wakanda yet? If not, you are sure missing out! To say “Black Panther” was an amazing movie was an understatement. “Black Panther” is everything you want in a superhero movie – great acting, amazing action scenes, a killer soundtrack and so much more!
When we are introduced to the country of Wakanda, we learn that it is a country rich in money, technology, and vibranium. Vibranium is an energy source people everywhere want to get their hands on but Wakanda decides to disguise itself as a third-world country in an effort to keep poachers at bay and provide a racist-free utopia for black people to live.
When we are introduced to one of the stars of the movie, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), we learn that he is the king of Wakanda and has taken the place of his father, T’Chaka. After T’Chaka was killed in a bomb explosion, T’Challa strives to be the king his father was but learns a lot about him along that way – sometimes unfavorable.
The first action scene of “Black Panther” revolves around an arms race between Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) and Eric Killmonger (Micheal B. Johnson). Both are looking to get their hands on that infamous vibranium. That is when things really start to get interesting. We start to learn about how certain characters are actually related and many epic battles ensue. “Black Panther” also shows the reality of racism in 2018.
The bonus features on the “Black Panther” DVD/BluRay/Digital Download are also a must watch. Here are some preview of what you can see:

Finally, I wanted to leave you with “10 Things You Never Knew About “Black Panther”
SUPER HERO SECRET #1
THE COMIC BOOKS WERE A HUGE INSPIRATION FOR THE FILMMAKERS
When it comes to the inspiration behind the story of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, director and co-writer Ryan Coogler admits that he delved deep into the history of the acclaimed Marvel comic book series. “We pulled from all of the comics,” Coogler explains. “When you watch our film, you will probably see something from every writer that has touched T’Challa’s character in the Black Panther comics. Everything from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s initial runs through to Don McGregor, Christopher Priest, Jonathan Hickman and Brian Stelfreeze. We grabbed from it all. Each writer left their own mark, so Agent Ross [played by Martin Freeman in the movie] came from Christopher Priest’s run and the character of Shuri came from Reginald Hudlin’s run. Each run left something for us to pull from, but we pulled from absolutely all of them.”
SUPERHERO SECRET #2
THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL ON SET WAS MIND-BLOWING FOR THE ACTORS
“It was incredible to walk on to the Wakandan sets,” enthuses Danai Gurira, who plays Okoye in the movie. “Our production designer, Hannah Beachler, was amazing. I remember walking into the Tribal Council room and thinking, ‘This room is stunning.’ The floors were see-through. There were massive, beautiful panther statues. The throne was very African. The entire décor was very African. It was an amazing experience, which was very rich for my character because I stood there and I thought, ‘This is like nothing else on the planet and it’s my character’s job to protect it.’ Hannah pulled from lots of awesome traditional African esthetics. You don’t get to see it in the movie, but she also designed T’Challa’s office, which was another amazing room on set. We shot some scenes in there, which were left out of the movie – but the office was constructed and it looked amazing.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #3
THE PRODUCTION TEAM TOOK A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA TO RESEARCH THE MOVIE
“We took a really important trip to South Africa to do a ton of research for Black Panther,” reveals production designer Hannah Beachler. “We went up and down the country, which helped immensely when we started to create the sets. It was incredible to see all the colors, the textiles and the way things were built. In the end, we shot a lot of plates and second unit footage in South Africa. We shot footage in Uganda, which was used to show the farm land and open space of Wakanda. It was beautiful. We also shot at Victoria Falls in Zambia. When the fighters come flying through the falls and get to the challenge pool; that flight through the falls is Victoria Falls. But when you get to the challenge pool, what you see behind them is a bit of Iguazu Falls, which is in South America. We smashed the two together because we wanted a horizon.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #4
SEBASTIAN STAN WAS ONLY ON THE BLACK PANTHER SET FOR ONE DAY
“The tag scene with Bucky [played by Sebastian Stan] at the end of the movie came as a wonderful surprise to me,” explains Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in Black Panther. “I was so happy when I read about it. Props to Ryan [Coogler] for adding it to the movie. This scene was shot quite late in the production, but I really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day on set and I thought it was a great way for us to find out where Bucky had been hiding in Wakanda. We shot the scene in a forest area somewhere in Atlanta, but it only took a day. Sebastian was really great to work with. He’s a good chap.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #5
THE IN-HOME RELEASE IS PACKED WITH DELETED SCENES AND OUTTAKES
Marvel fans can delve deeper into the wondrous world of Wakanda with the exclusive bonus features packaged with the in-home release of the movie. Not only are there behind-the-scenes featurettes and never-before-seen outtakes, but there are also a number of deleted scenes. “There are a couple of scenes with Okoye and W’Kabi [played by Daniel Kaluuya] that I would love people to see,” explains Danai Gurira. “There’s a scene between Okoye and W’Kabi, which takes place after Killmonger tells us what he’s going to do with the kingdom. Okoye is very disturbed by her man seeming to positively respond to Killmonger. There’s also a scene where W’Kabi and Okoye go head-to-head. Okoye pushes W’Kabi to a place where all the rage he had towards T’Challa comes out. I hope some of those moments end up in the deleted scenes.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #6
LUPITA NYONG’O HAD TO LEARN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES FOR THE MOVIE
“The African language that we speak in the movie is Xhosa, which is a Bantu language from South Africa,” reveals Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Nakia in Black Panther. “It has the clicks which my native tongue does not have, so I had to learn it for the movie. I worked very closely with a dialect coach to get it right. I also speak Korean in the film, which was a doozy. A week before we shot the scenes in South Korea, they finalized exactly what Nakia was going to say, so all week I kept practicing the lines over and over again. However, I slipped up from time to time. At one point, the Korean extras laughed because they told me I’d said something about a barbecue by mistake – but we got there in the end.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #7
LETITIA WRIGHT DISCOVERED SHE’D WON HER ROLE IN A RATHER UNUSUAL PLACE
“The audition process was really interesting,” admits Letitia Wright. “I sent over two tapes from London and I didn’t think anything would happen – but then I got a call asking me to fly out to Los Angeles for a screen test. That’s where I met Ryan [Coogler] and Chadwick [Boseman, who plays T’Challa]. Thankfully, we had an immediate connection. I went home and I didn’t hear anything for a couple of weeks – but then I was called back for another screen test. This time, I flew to Atlanta and they put braids in my hair – and I knew I just had to have fun with the audition. I remember thinking, ‘Man, if this happens, it will be very special for me.’ A couple of weeks later, I found out they wanted me for the role of Shuri. I was standing at a bus stop in London when the call came through. I went crazy! I was screaming at the bus stop! I was overjoyed to be part of this epic movie.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #8
CAST MEMBERS HAD TO TACKLE A GRUELING SIX-WEEK BOOT CAMP
Before the cameras started to roll on Black Panther, cast members flew out to Atlanta to prepare for the movie’s awe-inspiring action sequences. “The boot camp lasted six weeks,” reveals Danai Gurira. “It was really helpful to get athletically conditioned for the film shoot, although we also got into the specifics of the movements of our characters. We learned fight choreography, as well as different techniques of how our character was going to move on set. It was intense, but I learned a lot. Okoye is the general of the army and the head of the Dora Milaje, so the way she fights is very traditional. Her movement with the war spear comes from very ancient movements of the nation. It was really interesting to learn.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #9
THERE WERE RAP BATTLES BETWEEN THE ACTORS ON SET
An exclusive gag reel has been created for the in-home release, which is packed with comedy bloopers and slapstick slip-ups from the set of the movie. “There were a lot of funny moments during the filming of Black Panther,” recalls Letitia Wright. “Even though the shoot was a lot of hard work and there were some incredibly physical scenes, we always found moments to have fun. We had rap battles in between takes, or we organized dinners and bowling sessions. There was a day where we did a Get Out challenge, because we had [Get Out star] Daniel Kaluuya working with us. Who won the rap battles? To be perfectly honest, I think I was the best. I was up against a lot of people, but their rapping skills were terrible.”
SUPER HERO SECRET #10
LOOK CLOSELY AT THE MOVIE’S KIMOYO BEADS FOR HIDDEN QUALITIES
Hannah Beachler admits she had a ton of fun working on the high-tech gadgets for the movie. “The Kimoyo beads are my favorite,” the production designer admits. “I really pushed the design on them because I knew the beads needed to be something really cool. The Kimoyo beads were originally introduced in the Black Panther comics – but Ryan [Coogler] loved the idea of using them for communicating in the movie. If you look closely at the beads, you’ll see there’s a prime bead, which is given to you when you’re born in Wakanda. There is a little peak on the prime bead, which makes it stand out from the others. All the beads’ symbols light up, but the prime bead lights up completely. A Nigerian language – nsibidi – is used for the symbols on the beads. You’ll also see nsibidi writing on columns of some of the iconic buildings in Wakanda, too.”

This collection is available online at shopDisney, as well as Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories in Disney Springs.
The recent trend with the new Dooney & Bourke Disney collections have been a release of three bags, two with an all over repeating print, and a tote with an all over image print. This collection brings us the same type of styles, a zip around wallet clutch and crossbody features an all over repeating Mickey print, and the tote has a beautiful image that takes up the entire bag. One of the other standouts of this collection, is that they are a full jacquard cloth bag, instead of leather, coated cotton or nylon.
This clutch wallet by Dooney & Bourke is covered in a soft cotton jacquard fabric with a Mickey Mouse pattern, and patriotic styling. It’s perfect for coins, cards, and cash, and a great accessory for when you don’t want a large bag.
You can forever hold your banner high with this patriotic crossbody bag by Dooney & Bourke. This crossbody has the same jacquard fabric and print as the wallet clutch, and is a comfortable bag for on the go, or even at the Disney Parks.
Mickey Mouse Americana Tote Bag by Dooney & Bourke
The most impressive of the collection is the full image tote bag! This bag features an American Flag inspired background, with a navy blue silhouette of Mickey in the foreground. Stars or different sizes are mixed along the stripes, for a patriotic, and stylish flair. This bag is currently not available on shopDisney, but you can check out the Disney Fashionista to find out how to order your own.

Comic book creator and legend Stan Lee filed a $1 Billion lawsuit Tuesday against the company he co-created “Pow! Entertainment.” Lee is alleging that “the company conspired with two employees to fraudulently steal Stan Lee’s identity, name, image, and likeness as part of a nefarious scheme to benefit financially at Lee’s expense.” Stan Lee is claiming that they managed to convince him to sign power of attorney over to Jerardo Olivarez(not named in the suit) who bamboozled him into selling the company in 2017 to a company in China.
“The allegations are completely without merit,” said a statement from Pow! Entertainment. “The notion that Mr. Lee did not knowingly grant POW! exclusive rights to his creative works or his identity is so preposterous that we have to wonder whether Mr. Lee is personally behind this lawsuit. There is no question Mr. Lee — who, along with his daughter, was and remains a substantial POW! shareholder — clearly understood the terms of the agreements he signed. The evidence, which includes Mr. Lee’s subsequent statements and conduct, is overwhelming and we look forward to presenting it in court.”

Hold on to your hearts because this video is so precious! Loki doesn’t have many fans on the big screen, but one little girl in Disneyland sure is! “Baby Loki” and her sister “Thor” had a grand tour of the Hollywood back lot of California Adventure in Anaheim. The little girls say they aren’t fans of the heroes from the Marvel movies, but instead fell in love with the cast members within the park! Because of the amazing interactions in the parks with the cast members these two little ones are Loki and Thor’s (newest) biggest fans!
The cuteness factor of this video is off the charts not just from the sweet little Loki and Thor, but from the cast members guiding them on their private tour. The Marvel cast members interacted with the kids and played along as Black Panther, Dora Milaie(Black Panther), Black Widow, Gamora, and Captain America himself! Your heart is going to melt when you see the little one say “Loki!” as she gives her new BFF a big hug! Loki can’t be all that bad, can he? Watch the video below!

Could upcoming live action remake of Disney’s Oliver Twist star Adele?! Rumor has it that Disney is eyeing this Oscar winner for a role in this upcoming film, being written by Danny Strong. While Adele has an Oscar for providing the theme song for the James Bond movie, Skyfall, this would be the first time she appeared on the big screen!
The Sun reported that Adele, 30, would have to audition just like anyone else and that she would not be given any special treatment. A source also said ‘Bosses are still really keen to get Adele on board. They know she has a world class voice but want to see if she can sustain that while also acting and dancing.’
‘It’s going to be a huge production and they need to cast the right people with enough stamina.’
Besides the potential Adele casting news, there is also a rumor that Eddie Redmayne is being considered for the iconic role of Oliver’s crooked mentor, Fagin. Redmayne won an Oscar in 2014 for the film “The Theory of Everything.”
The production of this film has been in the works for several years and has been linked to Ice Cube and Danny Strong among others.
The thought is that it will take on a similar style to the 2012 hit Les Misérables, in which Redmayne played Marius Pontmercy, where the actors sing the songs live during filming, rather than dub them over in post production.
I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see Adele shine on the big screen! I can’t imagine her performance being anything other than fabulous. Stay tuned to Chip and Co for more details on the live action Disney remake of Oliver Twist as we learn them.
