Disney Villains Inspired Best Day Ever Tee

Every day at Disney is as Rapunzel says the “Best Day Ever”! As a huge fan of Disney Villains, and Rapunzel being my favorite princess, I may have just found a new favorite shirt! The newest shirt from Once Upon a Tee Shirt at Etsy is this wicked amazing Disney Villains Inspired Best Day Ever Tee!

Once Upon a Tee Shirt does very cute, and clever tees! Their shirts are totally original, and every design has been hand drawn. The villains tee is inspired by three very popular villainous ladies; Maleficent, the Evil Queen, and Ursula. Each of the three words is dedicated to one of these vixens. The “BEST” features black and purple letters covered in thorns, and is topped with Mal’s signature horns, and flanked by her dragon form. “DAY” is evoking the Evil Queen’s signature poison apple essence with red dripping letters, and the green potion oozing over. “EVER” finishes the quote with some serious Ursula vibes written out in a curling tentacle font.

This too cool for heroes design is on a soft purple tee, and ready to have the most evil best day ever!

You can check out this new tee and some of their other adorably clever designs below, the “All That and a Bag of Chips” is a personal favorite of mine as well.

American Idol

Online reports speculate that popular country singer, Luke Bryan, has been tapped to be the second of three judges announced for ABC’s revamped American Idol. Previously, Katy Perry has been announced as a judge.

The singing competition previously aired on Fox for 15 seasons. It came to an end in 2016. This past year, ABC announced they would be reviving the show to premiere during the 2017-2018 season.

When the ABC version of the show premieres, it will feature three judges instead of the four that were standard during the show’s later years on Fox. While the number of judges may be changing, the host will not. Ryan Seacrest has confirmed that he will be back to fill his iconic role.

No word on who the third judge of the show will be. Auditions for the new season of the show are currently underway across the country. Also, keep following along to know the official premiere date for the relaunched American Idol.

5. Star-Lord Costume for Kids – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The galaxy will be in safe hands when your young hero transforms into the legendary intergalactic outlaw Star-Lord. Inspired by his costume design in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The three-piece outfit includes face mask.

4. Buzz Lightyear Light-Up Costume for Kids

Your Space Ranger’s imagination will take him to infinity and beyond wearing this Buzz Lightyear Costume, featuring all of the intergalactic essentials to defeat Emperor Zurg in no time. What makes this costume truly remarkable are the included light-up wings!

3. Thor Costume for Kids – Thor: Ragnarok

Your little hero will become the Marvel’s Mightiest Avenger with this Thor costume inspired by the new movie Thor: Ragnarok. This striking, authentic outfit is fully loaded, it includes a padded tunic, detachable cape, faux leather bracers, helmet and pants. The print on the costume is incredibly detailed as well.

2. Poe Dameron Costume for Kids – Star Wars

Take flight as the Resistance’s top pilot, Poe Dameron. This detailed Star Wars costume includes the one piece flight suit with attached vest and chest box, plus helmet. It’s been all about “The Resistance” this year for many Star Wars collections. Our little guy chose this one and we were super impressed with the quality. The chest box and hose, as well as belt are detachable, and there are different textures on the costume to really add an authentic feel.

Last but not least, set sail and battle Peter Pan in the Captain Hook Costume. In this dandy jacket with coordinating pants and boot covers, your swashbuckler will be mistaken for our lovable mustachioed villain. We chose Hook as our number 1, because he’s such a classic Disney Villain!

ECHO Lake At Hollywood Studios Drained For Refurbishment

Anyone familiar with Hollywood Studios will notice a big change happening at Echo Lake. It’s empty! No need to panic though, it’s just going through a little refurbishment.

I love that we can take a peak at what Gertie looks like below the water line! The lake has been drained in order for it to be repainted. Dinosaur Gertie and Min and Bill’s Dockside Diner will also get some love with a fresh paint job.

Hidden Mickey Avocado Backpack

I seriously can’t even contain my excitement right now. A Hidden Mickey Avocado Backpack exists, and it’s glorious! Shop Hazel and Bean has created this incredible almost edible creation, and I am obsessed! Who needs avocado toast when we can have a Mickey avocado bag?

There is a Hidden Mickey Avocado Backpack and I am Obsessed!

I mean just look at HOW cute this is! The bright green avocados have a brown hidden Mickey in the middle instead of a pit. The gorgeous aqua blue background contrasts perfectly with the succulent green avocado designs. This is such an adorably creative idea!

Not only do I love avocados, but I truly love any Disney food print, even foods I don’t personally like. This is a sturdy cotton backpack, that’s big enough to carry your essentials while touring the Disney Parks. However, it’s also small enough to bring on rides comfortable! I’ve never wanted a backpack so badly since I graduated, and I graduated a long time ago!

If you love all things food and Mickey you can get your own HERE! If you really want to get your Mickey Food vibes on, there’s a Mickey Pepperoni Pizza Patch too!

What do you think of this amazing Hidden Mickey Avocado Backpack? What foods would you love to see Mickey-fied on a bag?
