Nick-The Splat

This is NOT a joke! This is NOT a rumor! After all those years of waiting coming soon to a new Nickelodeon channel, Splat all the classic Nickelodeon cartoons and shows from the 90’s are coming back. Nothing has been totally confirmed other than they have a new channel. But we are safe to assume that it’s going to be amazing and all our favorites from the 90’s will be showing.

Here’s a list of my favorites:

  • Are You Afraid of the Dark?
  • Double Dare
  • Rugrats
  • AAAHH!!! Real Monsters
  • Guts
  • Legends of the Hidden Temple
  • Rocket Power
  • Hey Arnold

  • Rockos Modern Life
  • Ren and Stimpy
  • Kenan and Kel
  • All That
  • Angry Beavers
  • Salute Your Shorts
  • Clarissa Explains it all

Nick-The Splat

I’m sure you have seen multiple posts on Facebook or all other social media sites from your friends, and families announcing how they hope this is true etc…etc….etc…..well maybe it’s because Nickelodeon very quietly announced this new full-length channel for the network via YouTube as seen below with several clips from fan favorites that include “Rugrats,” “CatDog,” “Ren & Stimpy,” and “CatDog” to name a few this past Saturday. They also broke the crazy news of THE SPLAT with several throwback performances during the Brooklyn’s 90’s Fest. They had videos of Pauly Shore and Salt N Pepa getting “slimmed!” I know if you are like me you always dreamed of getting SLIMMED!!

They also recently launched a website for the channel, but at this time all it says  is “The Splat is Coming.” However, it does have the links to their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter that seem to have more action going on.

Which cartoons or shows do you want to see on “The Splat?”

A Theatrical Ride for the Senses from Cirque Du Soleil at Walt Disney World Resort

pierrot

Once upon a time, a door opened and two worlds collided. Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed with the marvelous. It was no longer possible to tell where one world began and the other ended. This new place was called La Nouba.

This Cirque du Soleil creation is an unforgettable journey through this universe – at once threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar. La Nouba is the story of all stories, the site of all mysteries, where dreams and nightmares sleep side by side. La Nouba is memory, individual and universal. It beckons to us, challenges us to uncover passions we thought we had lost long ago. Here, anything is possible.

velo

La Nouba contains two types of families or groups and throughout this theatrical ride the magic and fantasy of the colorful Cirques (circus people) clash with the monochromatic world of the Urbains (urbanites). But as in fairy tales, it is not so much this contrast as the interplay between these two groups, which sparks our curiosity and feeds our imagination.

From this encounter is born fear and ecstasy. From this encounter is born La Nouba.

The show title originates from the French phrase “faire la Nouba,” which means to party, to live it up. La Nouba transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, engaging the imagination from beginning to end with opulent sets, brilliant choreography, theatrical lighting and live music. Featuring mesmerizing high wire and flying trapeze, stunning acro-gymnastic performances and other dynamic displays of coordination and strength, La Nouba promises to surprise, excite and mystify.

theater

With an international cast of 67 artists, Cirque du Soleil welcomes more than 1,650 spectators ten times a week. The venue is located in Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort. The 1,671-seat showroom is the first free-standing permanent theatre ever built for Cirque du Soleil. The dynamic white structure was designed to convey elegance and sensuality with the addition of fabric and tension reminiscent of a Big Top.

Disney Publishing Worldwide today announced the release of Disney “Star Darlings,” an original new property that features twelve unique girls who encourage tweens to celebrate their individuality, make positive choices, and show that they can make any wish a reality. Disney “Star Darlings” launches today in North America with two novels available everywhere books and eBooks are sold. All-new “Star Darlings” content and products will be released through November, including an accompanying storytelling and lifestyle app, music from Walt Disney Records, the first shorts in an animated series on YouTube, and a fashion dolls line created in collaboration with JAKKS Pacific that will be available at Justice stores nationwide.

The “Star Darlings” characters embody the qualities and characteristics of today’s tweens, and have been created to resonate with the audience through a multiplatform lifestyle experience tailored just for them. Each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with determination and the help of her friends, and these shared journeys and experiences are designed to inspire tweens to go after their dreams.

“’Star Darlings’ represents a fully-realized world where strong, confident girls are front and center,” said Andrew Sugerman, executive vice president, Disney Publishing Worldwide. “We’re excited to announce this all-new, innovative property tailor-made for today’s tween, and the launch of ‘Star Darlings’ represents one of our broadest multi-platform launches to date.”
The story begins on Starland where a major crisis is afoot, and twelve unique girls from the prestigious Starling Academy are chosen to be the first student Starlings to venture to Earth. Rich with themes of friendship, confidence, leadership, and teamwork, the Star Darlings go on the most magical adventures of their lives. Determined to succeed, the girls show courage and ingenuity—plus a whole lot of humor—as they guide others on Earth to discover happiness and fulfillment.

Initially conceived by designer Shana Muldoon Zappa, along with her husband, New York Times bestselling author, Ahmet Zappa (Because I’m Your Dad), “Star Darlings” was inspired by their daughter. “Our intention with Star Darlings has always been to empower every girl – no matter where she was born or what she looks like – to understand that she has what it takes within, to make her own wishes come true…through the unstoppable energy created by positive thinking, taking action and believing in yourself. “

Disney Consumer Products is partnering with Justice, the leading tastemaker for tween girls, on a multi-channel marketing campaign to help girls discover the magic of “Star Darlings.” Justice will be the retail destination for “Star Darlings” through the fall and holidays, offering a curated collection of books, dolls and limited apparel. A small assortment will also be available at select Disney Store locations and DisneyStore.com.

To celebrate the release of the first books in the “Star Darlings” series, Shana Muldoon Zappa and Ahmet Zappa will be signing copies of “Star Darlings” at Children’s Book World in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. PT.

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltackular

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular show last night totally put a spell on me and I wasn’t even at last night’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. With the power of social media I was lucky enough to have a friend Periscope the entire show just so I can watch it! It was AMAZING!!

Halloween just happens to be my favorite holiday, and when you add Disney into the mix I explode with excitement for the Fall season at Walt Disney World. You might have guessed that Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is my favorite event at Walt Disney World, so when last night’s party started I was all over the place looking at pictures and videos of the event. However, the “oh my” moment happened when the Sanderson sisters from, you guessed it, one of my favorite Disney classic movies took the stage in front of Cinderella’s Castle. Are you a fan of “The Nightmare Before Christmas?” Well then you are in luck because the one, the only, Oogie Boogie makes a special appearance as well as a few other fan favorites like Dr. Facilier and the “Mistress of All Evil” herself, Maleficent!

Per the Disney Parks blog: 

“In “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular,” the mischievous Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s “Hocus Pocus” return to the mortal world for one night during the Halloween season. With only a few hours to run amuck, the three sisters decide to use their magic to throw the best, evil Halloween party this side of the graveyard!

With the help of the Disney villains, Winifred, Mary and Sarah gather together sinister shadows, nefarious nightmares and the power of their frightful friends to conjure the ultimate Hocus Pocus Party Potion and cast a spell on everyone in the Magic Kingdom Park. “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular” features appearances by Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, Maleficent and other great Disney villains, along with dancers, projections and special effects that combine to make this new show a not-to-be-missed Halloween treat.”

  • Historic Plantation and Tropical Garden– Visit an authentic plantation house and one of the island’s most beautiful gardens.  The Cement Plantation House provides the setting for this tropical escape and here you will find the remnants of its sugar cane and rum distillery.  From there, you will visit a banana plantation field and the Church of Baleta, which is a small-size replica of Sacre-Coeur Basilica in France that give you a stunning panoramic view of the city and surrounding countryside.  Finally, you will explore the Botanical Garden of Balata which you can take in a bird’s-eye-view of the gardens from a tree-top footbridge.
