The all-new, live show “The Muppets Present…Great Moments in American History” will debut at Magic Kingdom on October 2, 2016. It will take place several times daily, just outside The Hall of Presidents and is hosted by James “J.J.” Jefferson and Sam Eagle. Watch as some of your favorite Muppets such as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the Great Gonzo perform in this wacky new patriotic show.
Throughout the day, J.J. and the Muppets share their own unique take on the founding fathers as they recount the tale of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, complete with an original song and plenty of humor. At other times, you may catch the Muppets’ version of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, presented in hysterical fashion as only they can.
Are you looking forward to a history lesson presented by the Muppets at Magic Kingdom this fall?

It’s no secret that I love my Disney nurse friends and family. I think they are incredible heroes who work hard to take care of us in need. Whenever I see a Nurse and Disney themed item, it completely melts my heart. I may not be a nurse myself, but I know several who would love this Mickey Ears Nurse Hat by dizzylidz on Etsy!
This fun Nurse’s hat is perfect to show your disney love and profession! If you are a Disney fan that is a nurse, or has a special Disney nurse in your life, this is a must! It is a custom made white stitched and starched vintage style nurse’s hat with a simple red cross on front. The back is secured with a white button. This hat is light and professionally finished. The ears are also original Disney plastic Mickey Mouse ears. It’s also perfect for adding pins!
If you know a wonderful Disney loving nurse, then this Mickey Ears Nurse Hat is worth checking out!
I really do love the clever iPhone cases that include the “Apple” into the design. I’ve seen lots with the Snow White holding the apple, or stitch taking a bite. I really love the uniqueness of this Disney Quote Phone Case though, as it show Mickey drawing Ears on the apple!
These are a flexible silicone case that is clear, to show the color of and, Apple on the back of the iPhone. Mickey’s hand stretches across the back with a pencil, sketching in his iconic Ears, over an infamous quote. The quote also looks as if written in by a pencil, which is a nice touch. This Disney Quote Phone Case is sure to steal the heart of any Disney lover who sees it. It is available on Amazon for only $6.99, and free shipping; Wow!
What do you think of this different take on the clear apple cases? What other famous Disney themed quotes would you want on your phone?

We mentioned earlier that Disney is beginning a new Autumn campaign, #WonderFALLDisney. We’ve been given some more details about what you can expect during this WonderFall time of year at Epcot, during the International Food & Wine Festival. Disney released the following suggestions for how to enjoy this first WonderFALL weekend!:
Your three-day epicurean adventure kicks off today with the Ultimate Day at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. It’s a seven hour VIP culinary extravaganza that starts with a celebrity chef Andrea Robinson-hosted brunch and finishes with a glass of bubbly while rockin’ to the BoDeans Eat to the Beat concert.
In between, travel to the kingdom of Arendelle on the new Frozen Ever After at the Norway Pavilion, explore the global marketplaces with a Disney Chef, fly around the globe on the new Soarin’ Around the World. Your post-flight snack includes a Cicerone-guided sampling of the Festival’s signature craft beers paired with chef-selected delicacies.
If you still have the energy, enjoy reserved viewing for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
New in 2015, the “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular,” show during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom Park features the mischievous Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s Hocus Pocus, who throw an evil Halloween party with appearances by Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, Maleficent and other Disney villains, along with dancers, projections and special effects.

Sleep in on Saturday and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Disney’s BoardWalk promenade. Recently renovated, Disney’s Boardwalk Resort is just steps away from the International Gateway to Epcot. And it also has new dining options, including the reimagined Flying Fish, a touch of nightly magic at Abracadabar and handcrafted ice cream from Ample Hills Creamery, featuring flavors like Malty Salty Pretzel Punch.
Head back to the Festival Center at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival for an afternoon wine seminar and try a new “Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It” hands-on workshop. This weekend showcases “Mix it with Whisky.”
Sugar Ray headlines the Eat to the Beat concert on Saturday and Sunday.
On Sunday, enjoy a plated breakfast at What’s Cookin’ With… celebrity chef Robert Irvine. As you check your Festival passport for any dishes or drinks you might have missed, don’t fret if you simply can’t eat another bite.
We have seven more weeks of the Festival – so there’s plenty of time to return. I’ll share ideas for another #WonderFALLDisney weekend with grand tasting events and chances for you to create alongside our Disney chefs in a future story.
Will you be visiting Walt Disney World this Fall to enjoy all the fun?

You might remember earlier this year when Rivers of Light was supposed to premiere as part of the Summer Awakenings, but due to mechanical issues it was pushed back indefinitely. Instead Disney whipped up the Jungle Book Alive with Magic Show till they could get all the bugs worked out.
Earlier this month Jungle Book Alive with Magic was retired that meant Disney could begin testing Rivers of Light again. I am hearing that we could see Rivers of Light as early as October!!!
No official word has been released by Disney but I would expect an announcement just as soon as they know if they have all the kinks fixed and are ready to go!
Are you excited to see Rivers of Light? Let me know in the comment box below.
Returning again to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival is the popular Chase Lounge. This cozy little spot in the American Pavilion is a great way to cool off, get recharged, sample a free coke beverage and more. All you need to do is flash your Chase Visa to get in! There is a bit of a wait but I have found if you go while a Eat to the Beat show is in the lines are a little shorter…
Also if you get here first thing you can get wrist bands for a special seating section at Eat to the Beat, these go really fast so I would make sure to get back here as soon as the World Showcase opens.
Here are some of the photos from the Lounge:
Recharge Station
Chase debit and credit cardmembers, including Disney Visa Cardmembers, will receive exclusive access to the Chase Lounge at the Festival. The Lounge, located on the third floor of the American Adventure Pavilion within Epcot World Showcase, will offer cardmembers an inviting place to relax, enjoy complimentary, non-alcoholic refreshments, and access charging stations, among other amenities.
It will open daily during the Festival from 11 a.m. until Park close.
though, as it show Mickey drawing Ears on the apple!
