Marvel launches new cologne and perfume line

Marvel’s The Avengers may not hit theaters until May 4, but thanks to JADS International, LLC (JADS), fans can get an exclusive “whiff” of the much anticipated film. JADS, a company producing fine fragrances worldwide, is debuting their line of Marvel prestige colognes and perfumes at the Toy Industry Association’s (TIA) Toy Fair this weekend in New York City. The Avengers Cologne Set, Black Widow Perfume, Infinity Formula for Men, and Mischief Colognewill be available to the public in April in the U.S. and Canada.

“Everyone has a favorite comic book hero, right? Now fans can experience what they love about these iconic characters in a much more personal way,” said Andrew Levine, Chief Executive Officer of JADS. “We created a line of colognes and perfume inspired by Marvel’s The Avengers after we identified a demand in the marketplace.” John McGonigle, President of JADS, has inspired the company with his creative design and unique fan-centric product development that fit hand in hand with Marvel’s The Avengers storyline. “The scents are bold without being intrusive, distinctive and empowering. We are proud to bring these unique products to market and believe there is no better way to build fan affinity than through the use of personal fragrances.”

JADS Spring 2012 Line for Marvel’s The Avengers Include:

The Avengers Cologne Set features four heroic fragrances: Patriot Cologne: Your Attack Plan, Mark VII Cologne: Armor Up, Worthy: Posses the Power, and Smash!: Be Angry.

  • Patriot Cologne, inspired by Captain America, pays homage to the confident, stand-up-to-bullies, hard-working average Joe in everyman. The cologne features hints of green lime and white pepper with finishes of dry oak wood, sandalwood and tequila.
  • Mark VII Cologne, inspired by Iron Man, combines mandarin and jasmine with light patchouli to create a contemporary expression of “I don’t play well with others” confidence, leaving you ready for whatever a genius, billionaire, playboy-philanthropist might encounter throughout their day.
  • Worthy Cologne, inspired by Thor, is a woody citrus cologne with a combination of bergamot, frozen ginger and wheatgrass blended with a hint of fresh natural grapefruit and layered with cypress, creating a deep dry masculine almost “God-like” musk.
  • SMASH!, inspired by Hulk, is a clean scent with clear top notes of water lily and nutmeg, which carries on an intense woody dry down, enriched with Indian sandalwood, dry musk and warm cedar. Complementary to full range emotions, it wears well at work, in the lab, or an evening out on the town.

Three other scents are available outside of the Avenger Cologne Pack: Black Widow Perfume, Infinity Formula Cologne and Mischief Cologne.

  • Black Widow Perfume – Russian spy, trained assassin, world-class ballerina, girl from legal department. This perfume has a clear shot of citrus slowly giving way to sensual caramel and honey. The scent dries down with a blend of bitter chocolate, clear patchouli and praline.
  • Infinity Formula Cologne – Inspired by Nick Fury, CIC of S.H.I.E.L.D., this cologne is a seductive fragrance for not just any man, but only for those who will risk everything to keep the dream of freedom alive. And sure, you could describe it as a citron cocktail smoothed over with a couple of stiff shots of tonka bean and guaiac wood, or you could just put it on and know it makes you smell good.
  • Mischief Cologne – Inspired by Thor’s bad brother, Loki, this unisex fragrance combines a base of green tea and amber with bergamot and cardamom in a dangerous-sexy, yet playful way that wears well on anyone, day or night.

More information including where these fragrances can be pre-ordered is available via http://www.jadsinternational.com. Retailers are still being determined and are welcome to visit JADS, who will be sampling the colognes and perfume at booth #4712 at the International Toy Fair.

Michelle Obama Celebrates Let’s Move! and Disney Magic of Healthy Living at Disney World

On a tour to celebrate the second anniversary of her Let’s Move! initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to hundreds of children and parents at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex about the importance of healthy living. She also recognized the efforts of Disney Magic of Healthy Living, which partners with parents in their quest to raise healthy, happy kids.

“I want to thank Disney for all that they’ve done to support “Let’s Move” and to make sure our kids are eating right and being active,” Obama told the audience before joining Disney Channel and Disney XD stars for the new dance, “The Platypus Walk,” inspired by the hugely popular “Phineas and Ferb” character Perry the Platypus.

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson welcomed the crowd of nearly 1,500 children and families, demonstrating his own commitment to physical fitness by completing 50 push-ups on stage.

After addressing the audience, Obama welcomed the children to visit five Disney Magic of Healthy Living activity stations along with Disney Channel Stars Debby Ryan (“Jessie”), Roshon Fegan (“Shake It Up”), and Disney XD stars Doc Shaw and Kelsey Chow (“Pair of Kings”) and Olivia Holt (“Kickin’ It”). There, professional athletes helped children hone their physical fitness skills. Children ran sprints with renowned football coach Tom Shaw, completed drills with members of the Orlando City Soccer team and practiced their tennis serve with tennis professional James Blake.

Brandon Delfosse, a 13-year-old student at Orlando Science School and member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida, attended the event and was pleased Obama and Disney supported healthy living. “It’s very cool knowing someone cares about you… It’s smart. Disney is popular, and it helps get the word out.”

Disney Magic of Healthy Living provides children and families with engaging content, useful tools and unique experiences to help make healthier lifestyles simple and fun. The 2010 launch of Disney Magic of Healthy Living included a series of public service announcements featuring the first lady that inspire children to take control of their own health, fitness and nutrition, and encourage their families and friends to do the same.

For more information about the program, as well as recipes, tips and videos, visit Disney.com/TryIt and Family.com/TryIt.

Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative has made significant progress since launching in February  2010. Parents, businesses, educators, elected officials, members of the military, chefs, physicians, athletes, childcare providers, community and faith leaders and children themselves have made substantial commitments to improve the health of children. Through working together with Let’s Move!, these groups have provided children with healthier food and greater opportunities for physical activity in schools and communities, helped get families the information they need to make healthier decisions, supported a healthy start in early childhood, and have worked to ensure more people have access to healthy, affordable food.

Woman Arrested for Selling Bad Tickets to Walt Disney World, Universal, and Sea World

For the third time in a year, Elena Tarano was arrested for selling thousands of dollars worth used tickets to theme parks in the Orlando area. She had apparently developed a booming business out of a booth that was located on International Drive.

Officials are unable to actually shut down these ticket locations because the booths themselves are not illegal just the act of selling the tickets, which is a misdemeanor.

This is just another example of if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. While getting a good deal on your tickets is nice, make sure you are using a reputable agency.

Meyer Werft Delivers Completed Disney Fantasy in Official Ceremony

>Disney Cruise Line took possession of its newest ship – Disney Fantasy – today from the Meyer Werft shipyard in a traditional maritime ceremony aboard the ship. The Meyer Werft flag was lowered, while the Disney Cruise Line flag was raised, transferring ownership from the shipbuilder to Disney.

This final milestone closes the book on the ship’s construction journey and signals her readiness to welcome guests on her maiden voyage, set for March 31, 2012, from Port Canaveral, Florida. The Disney Fantasy is the second of two newly designed Disney ships that take the family cruise experience to new heights and features many of the innovations found on her sister ship, Disney Dream.

“Today we celebrate the culmination of a wonderful partnership, as we take possession of the Disney Fantasy and prepare for the journey home to Florida. This ship is the result of the superb craftsmanship from the master shipbuilders at Meyer Werft and the innovation, imagination and ingenuity of the Disney team, who have partnered together so beautifully to bring this ship to life,” said Karl Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line.  “We are eagerly anticipating our guests, who will experience storytelling in enchanting new ways onboard the Disney Fantasy while making magical memories that will last a lifetime.”

Known for establishing the family cruise market when the business launched in 1998, Disney Cruise Line continues to build upon this success with a focus on the legacy and heritage of The Walt Disney Company’s most known assets – master storytelling, world-class entertainment and legendary guest service.

“The Disney Fantasy, along with her sister ship, the Disney Dream, are the largest ships that Meyer Werft has ever built,” said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft.  “Over the last five years we have developed an outstanding partnership working with Disney, and together, we have seen two magnificent ships become reality. The collaboration among Disney Cruise Line, Meyer Werft and its suppliers has been exemplary.”

Meyer Werft and Disney first signed a contract to build two new ships in April of 2007. Shortly thereafter, planning for the design of the ships began and construction started on the Disney Dream, the first of the two new ships, with the first steel cutting on March 2, 2009.  Since the recent completion of the ship’s float out and conveyance on the River Ems, the test-and-adjust period has been in full swing. The ship will remain in Bremerhaven for another week while additional crew members board, and supplies and provisions are loaded. The Disney Fantasy is scheduled to depart on Feb. 16 for its transatlantic voyage to the U.S., with an expected arrival to its homeport in Port Canaveral, Florida on March 6.

Captain Tom Forberg will officially take the helm of the Disney Fantasy for Disney Cruise Line.  As part of the Disney Cruise Line ship construction team, Captain Forberg has been with the company for more than 15 years and was responsible for launching Disney’s first three ships, the Disney Dream, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.

Expanding Itineraries

With the addition of two new ships, Disney Cruise Line is able to expand its itineraries, adding new homeports and new destinations, bringing the Disney family cruise vacation to more guests than ever before.

The Disney Fantasy will sail seven-night alternating eastern and western Caribbean itineraries beginning in 2012, from Port Canaveral, Fla., where she will join sister ship, Disney Dream, sailing three-, four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas.  New in 2012, the Disney Magic will offer eight-night cruises to the Bahamas and five-night cruises up the New England coast sailing from New York, and seven-night western Caribbean itineraries departing from Galveston, Texas.  The Disney Wonder will continue sailing seven-night Mexican Riviera cruises from the Port of Los Angeles, while spending its second summer sailing Alaskan itineraries from Seattle.

Based in Celebration, Fla., the Disney Cruise Line experience is focused on providing a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge and kids can immerse themselves in worlds of fantasy only Disney can create.  Most recently, the company was honored by the Themed Entertainment Association for the new “Animation Magic” show set to debut in Animator’s Palate onboard the Disney Fantasy, while the Disney Dream received top honors as the “Best New Ship” by Cruise Critic.

Top 3 Snacks at Disney's Hollywood Studios

#2. Butterfinger Cupcake at Starring Rolls Cafe.  – The Chocolate Butterfinger Cupcake could be one of the most talked about snacks at Walt Disney World, aside from the Dole Whip at Magic Kingdom.  People either seem to Love it or Hate it! But to me anything sweet and sticky and crunching gets a big LOVE IT in my book!  Here we have a chocolate filled cupcake with vanilla buttercream icing dipped in a hard chocolate and rolled in crushed butterfingers!   This snack is massive and super sweet! It is worth sharing with your family! My husband, daughter and I love to share one of these on our Hollywood Studios Day! Make sure to get a few extra napkins!  Not going to Hollywood Studios, no worries! You can also find the butterfinger cupcake at Disney Quest in Downtown Disney!

#1. Carrot Cake Cookie at The Writer’s Stop. – Some people run to get on Toy Story Mania first thing when Disney’s Hollywood Studios Opens, I run to The Writers Stop to get myself a Carrot Cake Cookie!  The Carrot Cake Cookie is simply amazing. 2 soft and very moist carrot cake cookies are joined by the largest amount of Cream Cheese frosting you could imagine to create a snack that literally melts in your mouth! Pair it with one of the Writers Stop’s amazing coffees, or in my case a Diet Coke, and you have the best breakfast/snack on Walt Disney World property! The Carrot Cake Cookie is a snack on the Disney Dining Plan, so if you are participating it will cost you nothing out of pocket! This snack is certainly big enough to share, but I never do!
