Charming Wooden Disney Countdown Mickey Chalkboard Sign

Wooden Disney Countdown

I’m always counting down the days until my next Disney trip, how can I not? A lot of times I just cross off the days in my planner, but my family doesn’t find that exciting. They want to be part of the countdown too, so a Wooden Disney Countdown with a chalkboard like this one from HayleysPlaques is a great way to involve the whole family!

When counting down for a trip, I’ve found my family really enjoys getting to be apart of the build up, especially as the number of days till we go becomes smaller. This handmade wooden plaque is a perfect visual countdown that can be hung anywhere. The plaque has a large chalkboard Mickey icon to one side, while the board says “Days Until Disney”, or Disneyland, or Disney Cruise, which ever you prefer. There’s a smaller red Mickey icon for a nice contrast, as well as a simple red loop to hold chalk. The plaque even comes ready with chalk, to store in the cute little ribbon loop.

There’s also a Minnie Mouse Version!

Is Coco Replacing the Grand Fiesta Tour at EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion?

Is Coco Replacing the Grand Fiesta Tour at EPCOT's Mexico Pavilion?

Hola Amigos! It is I Anonymouse back with some Disney World Gossip.

The new trailer for Coco, Pixar’s next original film, was released just a few days ago and it inspired me for today’s post. The word around the Disney water coolers is that the Mexico Pavilion is going to be seeing some changes. It is looking like the Imagineers have their eyes on retheming the Grand Fiesta Tour attraction to a Coco based ride. It is unclear at this time if this will be a simple overlay or full re-imagining, but I am hearing that there is a target of mid-2020 for its debut.

Is Coco Replacing the Grand Fiesta Tour at EPCOT's Mexico Pavilion?

Of course this is all dependent on how the movie does when released on November 22, 2017. Now that IPs are now longer off limits in EPCOT’s World Showcase (I’m looking at you Frozen Sisters) it’s not hard to believe that Disney is looking to make some changes. The Three Caballeros have starred in this attraction since 2007 but it rarely sees wait times over 20 minutes. After seeing the popularity shift in Norway, I’m sure Disney has the same high hopes for Mexico.

Coco Story line : Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself magically transported to the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

Fun Fact : Did you know that only one of the Three Caballeros is actually from Mexico?

Let us know what you think in the comment box below.

As always nothing is official till Disney says it is.

That is all the Disney gossip I have for now. For my past gossip articles be sure to check them out here. Got any good gossip/rumors please email me at anonymouse@chipandco.com or on my Facebook page.

Disney Fidget Spinners Showing up Around Walt Disney World

Disney Fidget Spinners

If you haven’t heard yet, Fidget SpinnersDisney Fidget Spinners Showing up Around Walt Disney World are super popular right now! Of course it was only a matter of time before Disney got on board with the Fidget Spinner craze train. Light-up Disney Fidget Spinners are now popping up throughout Walt Disney World!

The light-up spinners are available in black or white, with your choice of three different characters. The characters available are Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Stitch. The character designs are done in the Disney Emoji style, and each point on the spinner features a different emoji expression. Each point lights up with red, blue and green lights, and make a whirling rainbow when you spin! I bet they are super fun for the fireworks and night time shows at the Disney parks! The only down side is the batteries are not replaceable in these, so once they burn out they won’t light up anymore. They are available for $11.99 and you can use the Annual Passholder and DVC membership discounts on them.

Word is they are selling out quick, but there should be more shipments on the way. Are you hoping to snag one of these trendy new Light-up Disney Fidget Spinners? I’m hoping they also come out with more characters! I would LOVE an Ariel one!

There is also some wider lanyards available like the above Star Wars and Pirates ones. These are a silkier material with a really wide ribbon.

My favorites have to be the character lanyards though! I love the adorable cuties styled character emblems on them, as well as the complimenting ribbon designs. These also feature a clasp at the back of the neck, versus the velcro at bottom like the traditional ones.

These seemed to vary in price depending on the character/theme, so not all in this style was the same price point. Seriously though, how cute is pouty Oogie Boogie?

Most of these are only available at the parks, but there are a few reversible lanyards available at on Disney Store Online currently.

Updated Construction Photos of Epcot’s New Margarita Stand

Epcot

Thanks to Lisette, one of our writers here at Chip & Co. we have a few photo updates of the construction happening on Choza de Margarita; the new margarita bar at the Mexico Pavilion in the Epcot World Showcase.

The new margarita stand was originally set to open in “early 2017,” it’s now June and Disney has yet to release a firm date on the official opening, but is still expected for sometime in 2017. Disney has done their best to block off sneak peeks of the stand, even lining the space with trees…

BUT we were lucky enough to get a fairly decent view:

Disneyland

Disneyland

Specialty drinks and glowing food has been all the craze recently. (Starbucks Unicorn Frapps and glowing cotton candy, anyone?) Well, Disneyland has just released a new drink that combines these two trends. Introducing: “The Infinity-Ade!”

The Infinity-Ade was created in celebration of the opening of the new Guardians of the Galaxy-themed ride, Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disneyland’s California Adventure. It joins the lineup of other food and beverage items, like the adorable Groot bread, created to celebrate the new ride and Disneyland’s Summer of Heroes.

The Infinity-Ade is a non-alcoholic lavender lemonade with a salt rim finish. The glow effect comes form a glowing purple orb called an infinity stone. You get to chose your own stone and it is even reusable! This makes it the drink that keeps on giving. Take the stone home with you and anytime you need a Disney-fix, just pull out the stone to bring back the magical memories from your trip!

The drink costs $8 and is available at Schmoozies at Holly Wood Land in Disneyland’s California Adventure.

It looks and sounds so magical and refreshing. There noting is better than a nice and cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Well maybe there is now….. an Infinity-Ade!

Adventureland In Disneyland Park To See Closures and Renovations to Decrease Crowd Congestion

Adventureland

Adventureland

Big changes are coming to Adventureland in Disneyland Park! Arguably the most congested area of the park, the walkway between Bengal Barbecue and the Indiana Jones attraction is a known bottleneck. Stroller parking in the middle of the walkway only decreases what available walking space is left. Park officials have confirmed that this is all about to change!

On Monday, June 12, the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost and South Seas Traders will both be closing. The additional space is needed to expand the existing restaurant.

Bengal Barbecue

The Bengal Barbecue is losing its outdoor seating area and adding a new indoor seating area (with air conditioning!) in the adjacent space that the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost once occupied. The plan is for the work to be completed by June 30th. The restaurant will remain open during this conversion.

DL Tropical Imports

Tropical Imports will be moving across the pathway into the previous South Seas Traders location. This will free up the current Tropical Imports location for stroller parking.

All of these changes are projected to be completed before the new Fantasmic! debuts this summer.
