These Mickey Mouse Minimalist Headphones Are Perfect

Mickey Mouse Minimalist Headphones

These Mickey Mouse Minimalist Headphones from Cotton On are giving me life right now! They are incredibly adorable, and well, just perfect. They are Mickey, but not cartoony at all, I’m in love!

headphones black

These too cute for words headphones come from Cotton On, an Australian retail chain that has stores throughout the United States. It is known for its fashion forward clothing for young men, women, and children and giving back with their philanthropic foundation. The head phones are simple, but sturdy and come in gold, or black. They are on the smaller side, and come from the brand’s Mickey and Friends kids collection, but are still able to fit young adults. They have some of the cutest Disney Licensed products I have seen though, very sophisticated touches, and not overly cartoonish.

They have all kinds of fun Disney accessories in this minimalist Mickey style, including Mickey ear notebooks! They also come in black and gold, and match the headphones perfectly!

What do you think of these show stopping Mickey Mouse Minimalist Headphones?

Atlanta Braves Spring Training Leaving Walt Disney World

Braves61-640x420

The Atlanta Braves are in contract negotiations with Sarasota County Florida to build a new spring-training facility in the city of North Port which is just south east of Sarasota.

Presently the Braves hold their spring training at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports in Walt Disney World and according to the contract could move to the new location as early as 2019.

According to a post by Tom Harmer a Sarasota County Administrator on their website:

“There’s still a lot of work to do to finalize the terms, agreements and approvals necessary, but this announcement is a major step forward in the efforts to bring the Braves to our area.” 

No official word has been released by Disney as of yet but the Braves spokeswoman Beth Marshall confirmed the announcement to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution saying: “We have entered into exclusive negotiations with plans of it being our spring training home.”

Makes you wonder if the Braves do leave will Disney try to bring another team to take their place?

ESPN Wide World of Sports has been the home of the Braves Spring Training since 1997.

Characters in Flight Gets a New Look

0116ZT064DR

It’s long been an icon of Disney Springs (Formerly Downtown Disney), and Disney announced today the Characters in Flight Hot Air Balloon has gotten a completely new look.

0116Z0162DR

Apparently the ballon gets renovated every 4 years, and Matthieu Gobbi, General Manager for Aerophile (the group responsible for operating the balloon),  shed some light on the update; stating “the new balloon envelope was inspired by the springs and the element of water – it’s very coherent, as the balloon floats in the air, then lands on the water of Lake Buena Vista.”

0116Z0126DR

The experience of taking a flight up to 400 feet in the air remains unchanged.  Adult pricing is $20 per person and children (ages 3-8) are $15 each. Tip: visit before 10:00 a.m. and tickets are only $10 per person, regardless of age. The location opens daily at 8:30 a.m., weather permitting, and wait times are typically shorter earlier in the day.

Gone are the Disney Characters that we all knew and loved, and in is the new “look” of Disney Springs. What do you think of the balloon’s new look?
