    New Pink Peony Minnie Ears Blooming this Spring at Disney World

    Spring is a little over a month away, but Disney’s new Pink Peony Minnie Ears are already blooming!

    These Minnie feature pink peonies with white tips. They’re double sided which makes them nice and poufy!

    These Minnie Ears will make the perfect edition to your ensemble this year as new sights, sounds and flavors of spring will envelop Walt Disney World Resort guests beginning March 4 when the 27th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival bursts into bloom.

    This year’s festival will be chock-full of lush new topiary whimsy, edible delights, gardens to play in and an expanded lineup for the Garden Rocks Concert Series.

    The 90-day event continues through June 1, featuring dozens of Disney-crafted topiaries and beds of multi-colored blooms that will transform the Epcot landscape into a floral extravaganza.

  • Disney Animatronic’s Hand Falls Off Mid-Show at Magic Kingdom

    Disney Animatronic’s Hand Falls Off Mid-Show at Magic Kingdom

    An animatronic character of Disney World’s Carousel of Progress attraction reportedly had its hand fall off in the middle of the show according to a recent Reddit post.

    “John’s hand fell off during our show,” anonymous user ColtsMcgree wrote alongside a photo of the animatronic — named “John” — missing his right hand during the 1900s portion of the rotating theater attraction.

    In the photo listed as “not suitable for work”, the animatronic figure’s hand can be seen off to the right of him, on the floor as you can see in the post below:

    No other technical issues were reported by the visitor, but this isn’t the first time something has gone awry at the Carousel of Progress in recent months. Back in December, a guest had to be dragged off after they climbed onto the stage and damaged one of the props before lying down on stage.

    BREAKING: Disney Adds FastPass Service for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

    Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will open March 4, 2020, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and now Disney has added FastPass+ service for the new attraction for visits beginning March 4.

    FastPass+ reservations for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway just became available in the My Disney Experience app for guests visiting on or after opening day (March 4).   When the attraction opens, you’ll be able to enjoy the amazing world of Mickey using either FastPass+ (as available) or a standby line.

    As many of you know, at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway,  you’ll enter the NEW Mickey Mouse cartoon short “Perfect Picnic” for a one-of-a-kind adventure where anything can happen.  Why? Because here, mouse rules apply!

    And when making FastPass+ plans for up to three experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can select between either Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run or Slinky Dog Dash.  Then, you can add additional experiences to plans, including Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Fantasmic! and more.

  • Perfectly Sinister Disney Gifts for your Villainous Valentine

    Perfectly Sinister Disney Gifts for your Villainous Valentine

    I don’t know about you, but I just love a good Villain. So, in honor of that, we’ve gathered up a collection of Disney gifts perfect for your Villainous Valentine.

    Zales has an entire collection of fine jewelry dedicated to the villain in your life. There are rings, earrings, and a necklace to add a little sparkle to her bad side! Prices range for $149.99 to $3499.99. You can see the whole collection here.

    Whether it’s a party where a baby need to be cursed, or a poisonous apple that needs to be delivered, we all know that Villains like to be on time! Citizen, that iconic watch company, has two gorgeously subtly but darkly sinister timepieces to choose from. Both watches are inscribed on the case back. Maleficent says, “Mistress of all Evil,” and Ursala says, “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” You’ll find these and more Disney watches here.

    Does your true love need a way to carry all their spell ingredients on their next adventure through the haunted forest? In that case, Hot Topic has you covered with these two Loungefly bags. The Maleficent satchel is debossed with a scene of Prince Philip battling Maleficent in her dragon form. The mini backpack is made of a soft red velvet and the gold heart on the front is engraved with “Evil Queen.”

    If you and your Valentine are more into experiences, then I would highly recommend attending Disney Villains After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park. This separate ticketed event takes place on select nights February 7th – July 10th, 2020. You’ll have the Magic Kingdom as your playground for an additional 3 hours after the park closes to guests. Enjoy frightfully fun entertainment, photo ops, and park entry as early as 7:00 PM. Ice cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages are all included with your event admission. There’s also an After Hours exclusive parade called the Villains’ Cursed Caravan which happens twice a night where Maleficent – the fire-breathing dragon – slinks through the park.

    If you’re interested in booking the Villains After Hours Event at Magic Kingdom park contact Kimberly with Enchanted Kingdom Vacations. Check her out here. And Happy Valentine’s Day my nefarious friends!
