DIY Pop-Up Olaf Ornament Inspired by “Frozen, A Pop-Up Adventure” Book

As a lover of Disney and crafts, I always loved the projects from Disney Family. One of their newest creations is by Matthew Reinhart, New York Times best-selling author, artist, and pop-up master. This ornament is inspired by Reinhart’s new book, that released recently, “Frozen, A Pop-Up Adventure“.

Disney Family’s video features Matthew Reinhart himself, giving us a tutorial for this adorably sweet Pop-up Olaf Ornament.

In the video Michael gives you expert step by step directions, with delightful winter music to cheer you on. This is a great project for a stormy or snowy day. One of the best parts of this craft, is that it’s able to be made with simple items around the house. This pop-up Olaf can also adorn rooms as bedside decor, festive garnish for holiday trees, or simply be used as an excuse to spend quality time together with a cup of hot chocolate.

Frozen fans will love Reinhart’s new book, which features nearly 20 intricate Frozen pop-ups! This pop-up book goes beyond simple pages that lift up, each page is filled with majestically engineered paper art. Reinhart has a fantastic array of other Pop-up books as well, including one of my persona favorites “STAR WARS: Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy“.

I can’t wait to create our own Pop-up Olaf on our next stormy day! I bet they would make the cutest garland with some twine, or even tree lights over a mantle or doorway! I’m sure my little one will enjoy a winter time tuck-in with the Frozen Pop-up Adventure at bedtime too.

How would you display your DIY Pop-up Olaf Ornament?

Guests of Disneyland Resort will be able to catch a sneak peak of scenes from the upcoming Disney film “Moana” this fall. It will be presented in 3D with special in-theater effects at the Bug’s Life Theater located at Disney California Adventure Park beginning on Friday, October 14th. “Moana” sails into theaters just in time for Thanksgiving on November 23, 2016.

Check out the official trailer below:

From Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Moana” is the story of an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli‘i Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought – her own identity.

Moana is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess and the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and features music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa‘i.

The Time has come to bid the Main Street Electrical Parade Farewell

The time has come to bid our beloved Main Street Electrical Parade farewell. A parade that seems to be made of pixie dust, nostalgia and fairy tale dreams. The final journey through the Magic Kingdom is scheduled for Sunday October 9th, at 11 pm.

Many have delighted in this nighttime parade of glowing, spinning, gliding floats filled with beloved Disney characters and dancers for years. I remember this parade from my childhood, and even the sadness I had when the parade left. However the childhood nostalgia flooded to me when the glowing parade returned in 2010. This parade featured over 500,000 lights that twinkled and sparkled to whimsical music. Although I am sad to bid adieu to this legendary parade of nostalgia, I’m confident that Disney will bring us something spectacular in the future.

Will you miss the Main Street Electrical Parade? I know I will probably said a few tears as I bid the Main Street Electrical Parade farewell.
