Be Jolly With Cute and Comfy Christmas Inspired Minnie Ears

Christmas inspired Minnie ears

The Disney Parks and Resorts are filled with festive cheer this time of year, and of course that means we need Christmas inspired Disney apparel to wear! I love to wear a different pair of Minnie ears each day of my visit, and coordinate them with my outfit as well. Comfort is also key, so I love Mouse Band’s comfy Christmas inspired Minnie ears!

Be Jolly With Cute and Comfy Christmas Inspired Minnie Ears

I love these because they come in beautiful prints with cheerful embellishments, plus they are always very comfortable. These bands are lightweight, and always have a bit of shimmer, either on the bow, edging, or band, and I love shimmer! The bows compliment the prints on the ears, and the finishing touch is a festive or wintry embellishment on the bow. This designer is always happy to customize too! Check out all of her fun holiday designs below!

Would you dress up your holiday outfit with festive Christmas inspired Minnie ears at Disney?

Incredibles 2 Trailer Has Been Released

Incredibles 2

It’s here! The new Incredibles 2 trailer is here! And I love that even though we last saw them in 2004, it looks like we are picking up with our favorite Super Family right where we left them.

Incredibles 2 Trailer Has Been Released

Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) is left to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life, giving him an opportunity to bond with his younger son, Jack-Jack, whose superpowers are emerging—much to Dad’s surprise. Directed by Brad Bird and produced by John Walker and Nicole Grindle, “Incredibles 2” busts into theaters on June 15, 2018.

YouTube player

Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in “Incredibles 2” – but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.

Emoji-fied Retelling Of “The Little Mermaid” To Celebrate 28th Anniversary

Emoji-fied Retelling Of "The Little Mermaid" To Celebrate 28th Anniversary

The Little Mermaid’s 28th anniversary is November 28th.  To celebrate, Disney has released a special episode of its popular series “As Told By Emoji,” honoring the film that launched Disney’s animated Renaissance with an adorable,emoji-fied retelling of Ariel’s magical journey under (and above) the sea.

YouTube player

Over almost three decades, audiences have connected with Ariel’s timeless story of exploring unknown worlds and creating her own destiny. However, thanks to the storytellers at Disney Digital Network, we can be certain you’ve never seen this mermaid’s tale quite like this before.

In the episode, fans will notice fan-favorite moments from the 1989 film, such as Ariel in her grotto brushing her #HairGoals red locks with a ‘dinglehopper’; Prince Eric, who obviously didn’t check her Weather app, being ship-wrecked; and, once Ariel transforms into a human, Flounder helping the princess get her steps in with a mobile step-counter.

“As Told By Emoji” is a digital series that retells classic Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm narratives with emojis. The popular franchise has since garnered a global fanbase, capturing the hearts of millions – with 150 million total views – and having been translated to 20+ languages. Created by the team at Disney Digital Network, the series brings Disney storytelling to a new generation through digital platforms.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Will Be the Longest Movie In the Star Wars Franchise

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Will Be the Longest Movie In the Star Wars Franchise

Make sure not to have too much soda before you sit down to watch this movie. Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer and director Rian Johnson has confirmed that the movie will have a running time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, (150 minutes) including the credits. Thus making it the longest movie in the Star Wars franchise. IGN France attended a European press conference today and tweeted about the runtime. Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones was at a close second at 2 hours and 22 minutes (142 minutes).

Translation: “ lasts hours (generic included) confirms , making it the longest Star Wars movie in the franchise.”

With the longer screen time, let’s hope they dig deeper into the storyline and characters. We shall see on December 16th!
