The Sweet & Spicy Chicken Waffle has returned to Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in the Magic Kingdom! It disappeared a few months ago for no reason and now due to popular demand it is back again with a $3 price increase! Not Happy…
If the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Waffle is not your thing I recommend checking out the Nutella and Fresh Fruit waffle instead (see photo above). This is a great grab and go breakfast at the Magic Kingdom and I have been known to stop for breakfast and lunch at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments just for these 2 waffles!
There is also a Sausage and Cheddar stuffed pretzel I need to check out the next time I am in the Magic Kingdom.
Are you glad to see the return? I am not going to ask about the price increase cause honestly who would be happy about that?
Disney Parks Blog has announced that the popular Disney Parks Attraction Poster Calendar will be coming to Disney Parks for 2017! The Disney Parks Calendar, features beautifully stylized pop art posters from Disney attractions from all around the globe.
This year, the deluxe oversized calendar features posters from classic Disney attractions, to Destinations such as the Disneyland Hotel. There is even attractions from Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and even Tokyo Disney! I love how some of the classic attractions have a very vintage design to them.
The attraction poster calendars were first introduced in fall 2013, and were inspired by the “Poster Art of Disney Parks” book by Walt Disney Imagineers Vanessa Hunt and Danny Handke.
Each of these posters are perfect for displaying in a 12×18 frame, and with such a variety you can change them out as often as you like.
This calendar will be released in select merchandise locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. Once available, guests may also find the calendar using the Shop Disney Parks mobile app.
I think the Haunted Mansion one is my favorite, which one is yours?

A dazzling new Disney watch is always a great accessory. They can show off your Disney Side, but also be a practical statement piece the same time. I’m absolutely loving this Snow White watch, it has a lovely image of Snow on the dial framed by sparkling crystals!
Keep track of time with this officially licensed Disney Women’s Snow White Watch by Ewatchfactory on your wrist. This Snow White watch is full of sparkle. It is a perfect choice for the woman who’s not afraid to face herself in the mirror. A sparkly bezel looks chic against a rose-tone case and black enamel bracelet band. This perfect piece for your accessory collection is also water resistant, with quartz movement. This watch is truly the fairest of them all.

Not only is HBO now home to the Sesame Street gang, it’s about to revive another iconic series of our collective childhood – Fraggle Rock. Those with long memories will recall that HBO was the original home of the series back in 1983. Together with the Jim Henson Company, they’ve digitally restored the original 96-episode series and plan to air it later this year.
If you’ve been living under a rock (get it?) and not familiar with Fraggle Rock it features a large cast of colorful muppets called Fraggles. They live in caves and live along side their industrious little green neighbors, the Doozers. There’s more than that, including a lot of memorable music. To jog your memory a little more, here’s the opening song.
Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” changed the scene of children’s literature and Disney’s animated “Alice in Wonderland” embraced this fantasy world filled with unusual characters. Tim Burton directed a visually-stunning, live-action version that mesmerized audiences worldwide. On Oct. 18, 2016, the beloved franchise that has captivated audiences continues when Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” arrives home on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand.
In “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the all-star cast from the 2010 blockbuster is back with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter who’s desperately searching for his family; Anne Hathaway as Mirana, the kind, mild-mannered White Queen; Helena Bonham Carter as Iracebeth, the short-tempered, big-headed Red Queen; and Mia Wasikowska as Alice, the heroine at the heart of the story. Sacha Baron Cohen joins the ensemble as Time, a magical being that is part human, part clock, and the late Alan Rickman—to whom the film is dedicated—is the voice of Absolem, the blue Monarch butterfly who metamorphosed from the blue caterpillar “Alice in Wonderland.”

Three-time Oscar®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood reveals the creative process behind the film’s ornate costuming; P!nk provides on-set access during production of her “Just Like Fire” music video; Sacha Baron Cohen showcases his quirky new character, Time; and Director James Bobin offers insightful audio commentary and introduces five, never-before-seen deleted scenes.
