Mickey Mouse Ray-Ban Sunglasses

Last year the Mickey Mouse inspired Ray-Ban sunglasses debuted, and weer a huge hit! Like myself, many Disney style lovers may have missed out on their chance, and have wished for them to return. Our wishes have been granted, and new Mickey Mouse Ray-Ban sunglasses are headed to select locations at the Disney Parks soon!

How soon you might ask? Well that would be this Friday, December 8th! The sunglasses still have the classic black and white Mickey Mouse pattern we all fell in love with, but now they will feature polarized grey gradient lenses!

Since Sunglass Hut is the official sunglasses retailer of the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, you’ll find them available in limited quantities, while supplies last, at the following locations, beginning on December 8:

Walt Disney World Resort:

Sunglass Icon at Disney Springs
Island Supply by Sunglass Hut at Magic Kingdom Park

Disneyland Resort:

Sunglass Icon at Downtown Disney District
Disney California Adventure Kiosk

These will retail for $243, and when you purchase in store you’ll also receive an exclusive Mickey Mouse cleaning cloth! There is also a limited of five pairs per customer.

Are you hoping to find a pair of Mickey Mouse Ray-Ban Sunglasses in your stocking this Christmas?

12 Days of Disney Parks Christmas: Sneak Peek at Renovations to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

December 6, 2017

On the Second Day of Christmas, Disney Parks gives to us: A preview of the revamped Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! As most of us know, Caribbean Beach Resort has been undergoing some pretty extensive renovations over the course of the year. I know we are all pretty excited to see what the new Caribbean Beach Resort will look like when all is complete. Today, Disney is giving us exciting details and sketches of things to come at the popular resort.

Old Port Royale at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will be reimagined as the port of entry where guests will check in before embarking on their island vacation. This centralized location will offer resort guests more convenient access to services, amenities and dining, including an all-new Centertown Market for casual eats, an all-new Shutters restaurant offering waterfront dining adjacent to the new Banana Cabana outdoor bar and lounge, and Calypso Trading Post for shopping.

Centertown Market will be expanded and enclosed, creating a quick-service restaurant with an indoor street market vibe. Guests will enter the space under a large palapa-like structure, accented with glowing colored light pendants made from glass bottles. The market will feature open shutters, wooden light posts, awnings, ornamentation and unique seating areas. Guests will also have access to the Grab n’ Go market for a specialty coffee and quick bites.

Shutters, a Caribbean-inspired table-service restaurant, will be located on the waterfront of Old Port Royale, transporting guests to a beachfront home in the tropical islands. Large open shutters will allow the sun to cast a warm light into the space adorned with handmade items that appear as they’ve been found on the islands. Leaves and floral design motifs will fill the space, celebrating the natural beauty of the Caribbean.

A festive poolside bar, Banana Cabana will be a great place to gather for food and drinks, immersing guests into the fun and relaxation of island life. Cabana-style drapes will flank seating areas and re-purposed steel drums will illuminate a central communal table made from a wooden boat.

Forget something? No worries! With its history of being the port’s import and export facility, Calypso Trading Post will offer shoppers Disney merchandise and other vacation essentials.

What changes are you most excited about?
