This Pixelated Frozen Gear Be Stills My 8-bit Heart

Pixelated Frozen Gear

Right now Disneyland has the cutest new “knitted” frozen designs that look very 8-bit too! This pixelated Frozen Gear is full of bright colors, and beloved characters. There’s apparel, home goods, and pins to choose from, all with an icy vibe that’s perfect for the Winter season!

The shirt has a more fair isle knitted feel, but my gamer heart still sees 8-bit cuteness! The tee has a high low style with an argyle pattern mixed in with Frozen inspired elements.

The unisex tee showcases Elsa’s castle, traditional Norwegian Strandebarmer boats, Elsa, Sven and Olaf. There are of course lots of snowflakes decorating the navy background.

The “knitted” pillow is double sides, with Anna on one Side, and Elsa on the other. The Elsa side has her brilliant castle, along with Marshmallow and the Snowgies. Anna is featured with the Arendelle Castle, Olaf, Sven, and traditional rosemÃ¥ling.

The mystery pin sets are one of my favorites! Each box contains 2 randomly selected pins, featuring a Frozen character in a pixelated style.

The mugs are a delight that really showcase the print, with an argyle design. These would be perfect for enjoying a warm beverage on a chilly winter’s day.

The Disneyland Park is ready for Christmas with a huge tree, garlands, snowmen – and it even snows several times during the day.

Rose & Crown British Pub at Epcot’s UK Pavilion Adds a British Butty To Its Menu

Rose and Crown

Those that have been to the UK will know that the Butty sandwich is a staple at Chip Shops throughout the British Isles and now visitors can try out this classic for themselves while visiting Epcot.

Disney announced this week that the pub will be serving up three versions of the Butty: one filled with bacon, (which is the perfect hangover cure), chips and bangers (sausages).   Butty is a reference to the hamburger-like bun they come in and each version is served with crisps as well as condiments like onion and ketchup.

Check out Disney’s official tweet about the new updated menu:

We are pretty excited about giving the Butty a try during our next visit to the Mouse.  They make the perfect lunch and also go wonderfully with your pint of lager!

Keep following along with Chip and Co for the latest in Walt Disney World news and updates.

Multiple Guests try to climb tree of life in the Animal Kingdom

 

Yesterday in Disney’s Animal Kingdom a few guests decided to go off trail and have an adventure of their own by climbing the tree of life. It was first posted on the Walt Disney World Reddit that four guests attempted to climb the Tree of Life but only made it about halfway up before getting caught.

Here are the photos

In the second photo, the climber is a little harder to find.

https://twitter.com/BlametheChank/status/937424843968073730

According to the thread on Reddit, Disney Security was called and they were “spoken to”. No other information was given. I am guessing they will probably be banned for life and end up with a trespassing charge.

Do you remember when the drunk person climbed the pyramid in the Mexico Pavilion?

Bon Voyage

The Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno at Disney’s Boardwalk has proven to be fan favorite when it comes to character dining experiences.  During this delicious morning meal, guests get to meet Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled along with Ariel and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. 

The breakfast is such a hit with Disney visitors young and old, that according to a piece at wdwinfo.com, Disney has decided to extend the hours of operation by one hour each day. This means guests have even more opportunities to nab one of these coveted Advanced Dining Reservations.

Starting on December 17, 2018, the Bon Voyage Breakfast will offer bookings for one hour longer each morning; operating from 7:30 am – 12:00pm.  Advance dining reservations can be made starting at 180 days before your vacation via My Disney Experience or by calling 407.WDW.DINE.

Sweet Holiday Treats Available at The Contemporary Resort

Sweet Holiday Treats Available at The Contemporary Resort

Just beyond the three gift shops, on the fourth floor of The Contemporary Resort, is a pop-up treats stand directly adjacent to the 2017 Gingerbread Display.  Here you will find frozen seasonal beverages, gelato, and festive cookies.  Let’s take a look at the Sweet Holiday Treats now available at the Contemporary Resort.

In the Northern United States of America, it is traditional to celebrate the Holidays with some Hot Chocolate and Hot Apple Cider.  When celebrating the winter holidays at Walt Disney World, do what Floridians do and go Frozen!  You have to try the Frozen Apple Cider and Frozen Hot Chocolate at The Contemporary Resort.  Wondering what they taste like?  The only way to describe is that they are Apple Cider and Hot Chocolate each in their own Frozen state as opposed to a heated state.  They are absolutely delicious.  We will be heading back soon to have the Gingerbread Gelato and Candy Cane Gelato, but if you have tried them be sure to let us know what you think.

The Treats Stand is also serving up some sweet Holiday Cookies.  Here you can find gluten-free Gingerbread Man Cookies and No Sugar Added Tea Cookies.  You can also choose a traditional Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Shingle Cookie, or a Butter Cookie.  Their biggest seller is the Chocolate Peppermint Cookie and it is delightful!

Sweet Holiday Treats Available at The Contemporary Resort

Cast Members Sarah and Ashley were very helpful as we were having some challenges with deciding which treats to try.  Our personal favorites were the Frozen Hot Chocolate and The Chocolate Peppermint Cookie.  We also sampled the Frozen Apple Cider as well as the traditional Gingerbread Man and liked those as well.  With all of these beautiful Sweet Holiday Treats available at the Contemporary Resort, you may find it difficult to choose just one!

Which Sweet Holiday Treat would you choose?  Please leave your comments in the box below.

New Quick Serve Dining Location Coming to Caribbean Beach Resort

Quick Serve Dining Location

For quite some time now the usual dining options at the Caribbean Beach Resort have been closed, due to the massive renovations the resort is undergoing. An area over by the Trinidad South section of the resort has a detour up for construction on what should be a new quick service dining location!

New Quick Serve Dining Location Coming to Caribbean Beach Resort

According to Disney Dining, Spy Glass Grille is quite possibly the name that new location, and Disney is already looking for Cast Members for the new location. Not much else is known about this new dining location, but we do have a few construction photos of the area!

Are you excited at the prospect of a new quick serve dining location coming to the Caribbean Beach Resort?

The Star Wars Galactic Necklace is Fit for a Jedi Princess

Star Wars Galactic Necklace

It’s rare for me to find a piece of Star Wars jewelry that I’m truly in love with. It’s often times easy for Star Wars jewelry to get to chunky or cheesy. The Star Wars Galactic NecklaceThe Star Wars Galactic Necklace is Fit for a Jedi Princess from ThinkGeek however, is beautiful, and not cartoony at all.

The Star Wars Galactic Necklace highlights some of the more famous planets from galaxies far, far away. Looking at the necklace straight on, at the farthest left we start with a few Core Worlds (Coruscant and Alderaan) and then we move off into the Outer Rim Territories, including mostly planets but also a few of everybody’s favorite moons and an asteroid belt. And, of course, the Death Star.

The Star Wars Galactic Necklace is Fit for a Jedi Princess

This comes in a lovely box, ready to gift, with a key inside the lid like one you’d find in a box of chocolates. Each planet that is represented is listed, with a little description.

This necklace is an incredible gift for any Star Wars lover!
