Descendants: Return To The Isle of the Lost Giveaway!

May 24, 2016

Your favorite descendants novels are back in their second installment Return to the Isle of the Lost. Melissa de la Cruz paints the beautiful world of Auradon and the depressing world of the Isle in a familiar way that both readers and lovers of the Descendants Disney Channel Original Movie will come to know. Mal and her friends embark on a new adventure that spans wide across both the Isle and Auradon in this new novel. Plus if you can’t wait for the next installment of the movie franchise you can fill all your Descendants needs with this amazing story of triumph and courage!

About The Book:

Mal’s an expert at intimidating her enemies, but she’s broken the habit since leaving her villainous roots behind. So when she and her friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay all receive threatening messages demanding they return home, Mal can’t believe it. Sure, she’s King Ben’s girlfriend now, and she’s usually nice to her classmates, but she still didn’t think anyone would be silly enough to try to push her around.

The thing is, it kind of worked. Especially since she and her friends have a sneaking suspicion that their villainous parents are behind the messages. And when Evie looks into her Magic Mirror, what she sees only confirms their fears. Maleficent’s just a tiny lizard after her run-in with Mal at Ben’s Coronation, but she’s the worst villain in the land for a reason. Could she have found a way to escape? Whatever’s going on, Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay know they have to sneak back to the Isle and get to the bottom of it.

Without its infamous leader, the island’s even worse than when they left it, but the comforts of home—even a home as gloomy as the Isle of the Lost—can be hard to resist for recently reformed villains. Will the kids be able to beat the evil bubbling at the Isle’s wicked core, or will the plot to destroy Auradon succeed?

About The Author:
Melissa de la Cruz (www.melissa-delacruz.com) is the author of the #1 New York Times best seller The Isle of the Lost, as well as many other best-selling novels, including all the books in the Blue Bloods series: Blue Bloods, Masquerade, Revelations, The Van Alen Legacy, Keys to the Repository, Misguided Angel, Bloody Valentine, Lost in Time, and Gates of Paradise.

More Disney Magic is coming to Netflix this September

Netflix streaming has had many Disney favorites for a while now; Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan, Mulan, and countless others. They’ve also created the Netflix original series in conjunction with Marvel, “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones“. In a recent blog post, Netflix announced some huge news about their relationship with Disney:

“From September onwards, Netflix will become the exclusive US pay TV home of the latest films from Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar.”

This is definitely a smart move on Netflix’s part, as so many streaming services are becoming more and more prominent, such as Hulu and Amazon, and network television stations in the midst of creating others. It only makes sense that Netflix would create such a huge partnership to make their brand stand out.

Us Disney fans will eagerly be waiting for September to come around so we can check out the new Netflix additions–may we possibly be seeing some “Star Wars” films? Or maybe more Disney princess movies? What Disney film have you been hoping would be added to Netflix?

Now Open D-Luxe Burger at Disney Springs Town Center

By

D-Luxe Burger opened at Disney Springs Town Center one week ago. The counter-service style eatery offers unique burgers, french fries, desserts, alcoholic or non-alcoholic shakes, and a multitude of other beverages. There is seating indoors as well as outdoors on a porch-like patio.

I was one in a party of six. We arrived at noon to discover they were not opening until 12:30pm. We decided to wait in the line because we were at Walt Disney World and isn’t that we are supposed to do? We reviewed the menu and decided we would try four of the six burger options to get a decent perspective on the quality of the food. You order a-la-carte so we ordered three large fries to share along with a variety of dipping sauces to dip the fries in. We asked for cups of water and also purchased a couple of salted caramel shakes.

We cut the burgers to share and taste. I tried the Classic Cheeseburger and the Veggie Burger. I found the Classic Cheeseburger to be quite greasy. They cook all the burgers to medium but we agreed they were more like medium-rare so you may want to adjust and ask them to cook to your taste. The Veggie Burger was good and I particularly liked the green bean salad on top. Everyone else in my party liked the Barbecue Classic Burger the best. The least favorite choice amongst our party was the El Diablo Burger. We all enjoyed the french fries with dipping sauces and found the fries to be quite good. Our favorite dipping sauces were the Garlic Ranch and the Buffalo Bleu Cheese. My absolute personal favorite menu item was the Salted Caramel Shake with Black Hawaiian Sea Salt.

The meal was quite filling and none of us felt the need to have dinner later that evening so we had dessert instead. With all of the wonderful food options at Disney Springs we are not sure if we will choose to have another meal here. We found the pricing for a burger and fries to be a bit high for the actual quality of the meal but if you are on the Disney Dining Plan the one Quick Service Credit is perfect! For us, we will likely stop by for fries and a shake at some future date. As always, food is a matter of taste and preference and if you are a burger aficionado you may really enjoy the unique offerings at D-Luxe Burger.

May 23, 2016

Elsa from “Frozen” is one of the few Disney princesses (or rather, Queen) who doesn’t end up with a love interest at the end of her story. Many audiences were thrilled that sisterly love was at the forefront of the story, rather than a typical prince & princess love story.

Many “Frozen” fans as of late have been campaigning that Disney have Elsa with a female love interest in “Frozen 2“! The campaign #GiveElsaaGirlfriend , has been receiving a lot of buzz. Just recently, in an ET exclusive, the voice of Elsa, Idina Menzel, spoke about the campaign, giving it her support:

“I think it’s great. Disney’s just gotta contend with that. I’ll let them figure that out.” Menzel added, “No matter what, “[Elsa] changed my life.”

The fact that Menzel is speaking about it, just goes to show how quickly this campaign has become viral!

Do you think Elsa will receive a love interest in “Frozen 2“? Or do you think she will remain solo in the next chapter of her story?

New Muppets Themed Pizzeria to open at Hollywood Studios

May 23, 2016

When Disney announced that they were naming the area by Pizza Planet, Mama Melrose Ristorante Italiano, and Muppet Vision 3D the Muppet Courtyard, we had a funny feeling that Pizza Planet was not going to be coming back in its old form. WDW News Today confirms that the building which formerly housed Pizza Planet, which has been closed for quite a lengthy refurbishment will be coming back as “Pizza Rizzo“, according to permit documents that have been filed.

The restaurant will still remain a quick service pizzeria, but will have a completely new theming and upgrades. It is rumored the theme will center around the classic Muppets Film, The Muppets Take Manhattan.

We’re not losing hope yet that Pizza Planet is gone for good though. We still don’t have any official word on what types of restaurants will be available in Toy Story Land when it opens. Fingers crossed Pizza Planet will re-open there…
