M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Christmas is over, but the gifts just keep coming! We found out this week that the famous Mickey’s Ice Cream bars found in Disney parks is now avalible at select grocery stores around the country. The bars come in a 6 pack and are just slightly smaller than the park originals. The best part, the entire package retails for around the price of one full-size bar in the park!

Many businesses, large and small come out for the Expo. There are so many, they have to house them in the VISA Athletic Center. You could find some smoking good deals on shoes, headphones, headbands, clothes, and more. These are typically only available during Expo hours. Over the year, the exhibitors have offered many runDisney and Disney Character inspiration in their athletic performance gear.
Unless you have been living under a rock you have seen the purple craze that invaded the parks this week! Fans have been asking for more purple for a while, and boy did we get it!

The jersey will be available at both the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, and come with their corresponding logos. The jersey is a solid majestic purple color, with iridescent logos!

Disneyland is undergoing some renovations to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and it is creating an uproar among guests who are visiting the park. The Sleeping Beauty Castle is different from its counterpart in Walt Disney World. It typically gives guests the ability to walk through and get a glimpse at castle life. During the construction, however, guests are being instructed to use the Big Thunder Trail or Parade Route along the Matterhorn to head back to Fantasyland. The views of the castle are completely obstructed and will remain that way for a few months.
