Disney Inspired Car Air Fresheners

Who doesn’t wish for a little Disney enchantment wherever they may go? The shop Wishes Candle Co, who created the fabulous Mystery Pin Candles has made a wish come true!

You can fill your car (or any where you want really) with the magic of Disney inspired fragrances with these simple but amazing car air fresheners. Each individual air freshener lasts 2-4 weeks and is not only great for the car, but also small spaces like office cubicles or closets. They come in packs of three, and each one is individually wrapped to stay fresh until it’s ready to be used. The round discs are made from wood soaked in fragrance, and come with an elastic string so you can hang it anywhere.

I recently received the Art of Animation air fresheners, and I could smell them before the mail carrier even handed me the box! I’m truly impressed by the staying power of the scents. Check out the available fragrances below.

All I need now is some Disney snack inspired ones!

Which of these magical Disney inspired Car Air Fresheners would you choose?

There is so much fun in store aboard a Halloween on the High Seas sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line. Disney’s Cruise Ships will magically transform into a ghoulish wonderland starting in September through the end of October. From participating in the spooky fun Sing and Scream to gathering around the animated Pumpkin Tree for some mysterious fun, there is something in store for every guest during one of these unique sailings.

Here are some of the highlights of Halloween on the High Sea:

Experience the Mysterious Pumpkin Trees
Each ship’s Pumpkin Tree is unique, with Grim on the Disney Dream, Muckelbones on the Disney Fantasy, Bog on the Disney Wonder and Reap on the Disney Magic. Watch these trees magically transform from eerie and barren into the life of the party with sprouting Jack-O-Lanterns and flickering lights.
Dance the Night Away at a Mouse-Querade
Join your favorite Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best for Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party. This spooky costume party features games, dancing and of course, lots of candy!
Sing and Scream with Jack & Sally
During A Nightmare Before Christmas – Sing and Scream, enjoy an interactive movie experience and be immersed in the infamous Halloween Town. Afterwards, meet the couple that was “simply meant to be” in a special meet-and-greet with Jack Skellington and Sally.
Indulge in Eerie Eats
Our bone-ifed genius chefs have conjured up some yummy eats and tasty treats for you this Halloween. Make the day’s celebration extra special with indulgences like the not-so-scary Spider Cake and Spooky Juice.
Live to Tell the Tales
After a night of thrills and chills, gather on the upper decks for Haunted Stories of the Sea. A mysterious sea captain will guide the way and tell the tales of the legends who once sailed the high seas many moons ago.
Halloween Isn’t Just for Kids
Keep the fun going late at night in the ship’s nighttime entertainment district. With an adults-only costume contest and a Villainous Takeover on the dance floor, the party doesn’t stop when the little ones head to the youth clubs!

The Sumatran Tiger "Sohni" At Animal Kingdom Has Given Birth To Two Cubs

Last month I shared that Animal Kingdom’s Sumatran Tiger “Sohni” was expecting tiger cubs. Well I am incredibly excited to announce that Sohni has given birth to a pair of the cutest cubs I have ever seen. Only a few days old and these cubs are already super-stars as they are the first in the park’s history!

Mom and cubs are being monitored by a dedicated team of animal experts at the Animal Kingdom who are providing around-the-clock care. Sohni and her babies are are bonding well and guests will be able to see them soon in the next few months on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

Until they make their big debut check out this video of them exploring their new world on adorable wobbly little legs:

Disney is proud to play an important role in the worldwide conservation and understanding of Sumatran tigers, a critically endangered species. Fewer than 500 Sumatran tigers exist in the wild, as the species is facing significant threats like habitat loss, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade. To date, the Disney Conservation Fund (DCF) has provided nearly $4 million to protect wild cat species like tigers, lions and snow leopards in 25 countries around the world.

Stay tuned for more fun updates about Sohni and her cubs. In the meantime, visit DisneyAnimals.com to learn more about tigers and how you can help support them in the wild. Guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom also can take part in Connect to Protect, a new mobile adventure that invites guests to participate in conservation “missions” with a digital scientist while exploring Pandora and helping protect the habits of at-risk animals here on Earth, like Sumatran tigers.

The “Delicious Disney, A Chef Series” is a dinner series hosted by Walt Disney World chefs. The talented Disney culinary staff offers an intimate evening of unique cuisine and wine pairings. Multiple dates for these exclusive events were announced at the beginning of the year, but Delicious Disney has added a date this November.

The themed dinner will take place at California Grill located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort and will celebrate Mickey Mouse’s 89th Birthday! Taking place November 18th, 2017, the night will be kicked off with a 7:00 p.m. reception, with dinner in the Napa Room at 7:30 p.m. Guests will enjoy a private viewing of Magic Kingdom‘s Happily Ever After nighttime show to cap off the evening.

If you enjoy a nice evening of fine dining with the top Disney chefs, this is the event for you. Space is limited so I recommend making reservations sooner rather than later. Tickets are $350 per guest, including tax and gratuity.

New Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Card Available At Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

New Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Card Available At Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

This Friday we celebrate the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year! The party also brings with it the event-exclusive Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Card and this year it is inspired by The Country Bear Jamboree attraction.

According to Imagineer Jonathon Ackley, The Country Bears were chosen to be featured on this year’s card because they really know how to party. So this made them the perfect choice to represent Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

“What better way to help celebrate a party than with a performance by the world’s favorite ursine band?” Jonathan Said. “And on Halloween, anything scary will have no choice but to flee before the happy music of the Country Bears!”

Just in case you’re new to Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, this interactive game allows guests to team up with Merlin in defeating Disney Villains who are scheming to take over Magic Kingdom Park. Guests search for villain hideouts throughout the park, visit magic portals and use special spell cards to defeat villains. Each spell card stars a different Disney character, each with their own unique powers. The game begins at the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A., where you can pick up complimentary key cards, spell cards and maps (additional cards can be purchased at select merchandise locations).

This special event card will be distributed separately (and in addition to) the regular Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card packs you’re given at this location. Guests must register to play with their party ticket and event wristband in order to get one.

Disneyland Gets Approval to Add Over 400 Parking Spaces to its Toy Story Lot

Disneyland Gets Approval to Add Over 400 Parking Spaces to its Toy Story Lot

In preparation for large crowds visiting “Star Wars” land opening in 2019, Disneyland Resort is adding more parking spaces to its “Toy Story” off-site parking lot.

Disneyland got approval from the Anaheim Planning Commission to add 455 parking spaces to its Toy Story lot off Harbor Boulevard and Convention Way. This will increase the lot to 5,378 parking spaces.

Disneyland Gets Approval to Add Over 400 Parking Spaces to its Toy Story Lot

Disneyland will replace 6-foot walls separating the parking area from nearby apartment complexes with a 16-foot-tall, sound wall made of masonry blocks and will landscape with rows of Canary Island Pine trees. Disney plans to add new lighting for the parking lot and a ramp that would connect to its tram depot.

The additional parking spaces are desperately needed in the Disneyland Resort area. During peak season guests unable to get into Disney’s 10,000-spot Mickey and Friends parking structure or the Toy Story lot find themselves with limited options around Disneyland. On rare occasions, the employee parking lot is used and workers have to park at Angel Stadium and be shuttled over to the park.

Looking ahead, plans are currently being proposed for the Disneyland Eastern Gateway project. The project, on the east side of Harbor, includes a seven-story, 6,800-spot parking structure and a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard to funnel guests straight into the esplanade area between the two theme parks. But the gateway proposal is on hold after neighboring businesses on Harbor Boulevard raised concerns.

What do you think of the planned parking expansion at Disneyland?

In this hilarious and action-packed sequel, we learn more about Peter Quill’s past, including who his father is, as the Guardians journey to save the universe, again.

If you’re looking for a good laugh Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 does not disappoint. They really mastered the perfect balance of emotions throughout the film. Check out this bonus gag reel with clips taken during filming:

Have Your Morning Coffee With a Scrump Mug from Lilo & Stitch

Scrump Mug

This is Scrump! Well, a Scrump Mug that is. I may not have made her, but she’s just as adorable as Lilo’s doll Scrump. Lilo’s friend and doll has been transformed into a fully sculptured hot beverage mug, perfect for your coffee or tea.

If quirky is your cup of tea (or coffee), you’ll flip over Scrump! Decked out with buttons and a bow, this fun, freaky, and fully sculptured mug was inspired by Lilo’s handmade doll in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. The details are really well thought out, including Scrump’s straw ponytail creating the handle! A fresh cup of morning coffee with Scrump will be as cozy for me, as Lilo’s doll was for her.
