Availability will, however, differ depending on when you’re looking to visit Disney World. ©Disney Disney has specified, however, that Club Level service still remains temporarily unavailable.

“In this exciting age when everyone seems to be talking about the future possibilities of space travel, there is much speculation on what we will discover when we visit other worlds.” —Walt Disney Disney culture is filled with interesting coincidences, inspirations, and connections—one of the most remarkable and surprising is the influence of Walt Disney himself on the U.S. space program. That stimulus certainly raised public awareness and enthusiasm for space exploration, which in turn helped gain support for the formation of NASA and its Project Mercury, as seen in the new National Geographic scripted series “The Right Stuff,” premiering today on Disney+. But Walt’s impact went even further. The origins of this association came from Walt’s new venture into television in 1954, and the concurrent development of Disneyland. The realm of “tomorrow” was a part of each, and in both cases, the futuristic notions and projects lagged behind the familiar subjects. “Walt was all set with animated material for Fantasyland, he had historical Frontierland stuff like Davy Crockett and Pecos Bill, and the True-Life Adventures films…the Disney film archives were filled with these things…but he had nothing for Tomorrowland,” Disney Legend Ward Kimball told E Ticket Magazine in 1996. Kimball had seen a popular series of Collier’s magazine articles on space that began publication in 1952. “These articles were by the foremost space experts of the time (Willy Ley, Heinz Haber, Werner von Braun and illustrator Chesley Bonestell) and I had been very interested in them,” Kimball said. “Walt came back later and said, ‘This is the way to go…this is not science fiction, this is ‘science factual’…we know these things, so let’s get Von Braun and the others out here!’” Tomorrowland entrance, Herb Ryman, 1954. A majestic rocket ready to penetrate space was always a part of Walt’s Tomorrowland. © Disney The result was a hugely popular and highly influential series of TV hours. Kimball co-wrote, produced, directed, and appeared in: “Man in Space,” airing on March 9, 1955, “Man and the Moon,” airing on December 28, 1955, and “Mars and Beyond,” aired on December 4, 1957. “The general public didn’t grasp the possibility of space travel,” Kimball said. “They had no conception of what was involved…even with three shows we weren’t able to do it as thoroughly as we wanted.” The series of programs created a cultural phenomenon with the public, and its clear presentation of complex subject matter piqued the interest of another influential viewer. “That’s why [President] Eisenhower, when he happened to see our ‘Man in Space’ program, was absorbed by it,” Kimball said. “He realized that he had generals in the Pentagon who didn’t understand or accept these ideas. At first, the military did not support America’s program for space exploration. He flew them all in, and for two weeks, he screened our program for his top Generals. Walt was very proud when Eisenhower called him about the program, and was so glad to accommodate him. The call came into the Studio, and I guess at first the switchboard didn’t believe it was the President of the United States!” Kimball realized that Walt Disney had been a key influence in the creation of the U.S. space program. “It was a high point for me,” Kimball said, “because I felt I was participating and being part of the future. I was rubbing elbows with the people who were going to take us to the moon, and to Mars, and beyond to other planets. This was an elixir that one couldn’t deny.” YOU are the astronaut at the International Space Training Center in Mission: SPACE. © DisneyThe connection of Disney and space has remained consistent and strong over the decades. Almost every concept rendering of Tomorrowland at Disneyland contained a majestic rocket ship, and attractions such as Flight to the Moon and its successor, Mission to Mars, were popular at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The romance and excitement of space created the iconic thrill ride Space Mountain, a staple at most Magic Kingdom-style parks worldwide; and from its very origins, EPCOT certainly had its eye on the future and the technologies created for, and derived from space exploration. Mission: SPACE opened at EPCOT in 2003, simulating astronaut training experiences on two different space missions, the thrilling and intense “Orange Mission” and the gentler and more family-friendly “Green Mission.” A Mercury Seven reunion at the opening of Space Mountain at Disneyland Park. ©1977 Disney One of the most interesting moments in the confluence of Disney and the U.S. space program was the appearance of original Mercury Seven astronauts (subjects of the National Geographic series “The Right Stuff” on Disney+), Scott Carpenter and Gordon Cooper, along with Apollo 15 astronaut Jim Irwin, at the opening of Space Mountain at Walt Disney World in 1975. An even larger reunion of the Mercury Seven—Carpenter, Cooper, John Glenn, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, Donald “Deke” Slayton, and Betty Grissom (widow of Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom)—took place two years later at the Disneyland Space Mountain opening. One wonders if they were told, or were aware of, the fact that they were not just celebrating “space” at these events, but by extension, celebrating the influential showman whose vision and work had played a nascent part in their careers and fame. Their intertwined histories created, as “The Right Stuff” celebrates, “an aspirational story about how ordinary human beings can achieve the extraordinary.” Today, Disney+ will premiere “The Right Stuff,” National Geographic’s new scripted series based on the iconic bestseller by Tom Wolfe. Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Warner Bros. Television, “The Right Stuff” is an inspirational look at the early days of the U.S. space program, and the incredible story of America’s first astronauts, the Mercury Seven. Walt Disney’s original 1950s Disneyland series TV shows “Man in Space” and “Mars and Beyond” are also available on Disney+. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/2Ch4wqKTuJQView the full article

Chocolate Studio Booth But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected! Last year, this booth was the spot for the Chocolate Studio, which served up a Liquid Nitro Chocolate-Almond Truffle with Warm Whiskey-Caramel and a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart with Whipped Cream. But, this booth has left its chocolatey days behind (somewhat), and has now been transformed into the WAFFLES BOOTH! 2020 Waffles Booth The menu features a Belgian Waffle served with Warm Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream and a Belgian Waffle served with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream! 2020 Menu YUM. These sound and look very similar to what we’re used to seeing at the Belgium Booth. WAFFLES!

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of back and forth happening between Disneyland Resort and the state of California. Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Disney executives continue to make their case for Disneyland to reopen soon, but California Governor Gavin Newson has stated he is in “no hurry” to release theme park guidelines. That statement came after Disney Chairman Bob Iger stepped down from the California Economy Recovery Task Force. Despite the rocky road Disneyland seems to face in reopening, the parks have been working toward reopening by making certain health and safety updates due to the global health crisis. Disneyland has been working closely with Orange County health officials, who recently stated that Disney has a “pretty solid reopening plan.” Disneyland New Health and Safety Signage The Orange County Register reports that Disney continues to work with the Orange County Health Care Agency and has recently adopted even more health and safety recommendations made by that organization. After the agency toured the theme parks, they recommended the following: Adding signs in Spanish with health and safety information Placing new markings on the ground outside restrooms to keep down cross-traffic Putting in more hand sanitizing stations around attractions Hand sanitizer station in Downtown Disney Although Disney continues to work with the county health agency, there is still no solid date for Disneyland’s reopening. Guest reservations through October 24th have been canceled, and Disneyland is only currently accepting reservations starting on November 1st. However, there is no guarantee that the parks will open by then. Disney California Adventure Park Downtown Disney reopened this summer, and for now, it’s the only part of Disneyland Resort that’s currently operating. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the news and let you know if anything about this situation changes.

The global health crisis has had far-reaching effects, especially in the entertainment industry. ©Disney Right around the time the Disney parks closed, NYC’s Broadway theaters closed, ending then-running shows and halting several openings. The closure was originally supposed to be in place through January, but now the shutdown has been extended even further into 2021. The Broadway League has announced the extension of the closure of New York City’s Broadway theaters. The suspension of all ticket sales will now continue through May 30th, 2021. ©Disney Those with tickets through the end of the extended shutdown should contact their point of purchase for details about exchanges and refunds. Dates for returning performances next summer will be announced as individual productions determine their schedules. ©Disney Aladdin The Musical As a part of the announcement, President of the Broadway League Charlotte St. Martin said, “With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so. We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again.” ©Disney We’ll be keeping an eye out for the official announcement from the Broadway League today so stay tuned for updates.

Remember the first time you saw the love of your life… or stepped foot into a new home… and the rush of excitement that came with it? Those kinds of significant first moments also exist in the animal world and are the focus of the latest episode of National Geographic’s “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom,” now streaming on Disney+. Let me tell you about a couple of my favorite “firsts” in this episode titled “Betty and the Beast”: Anyone who has ever been on a “blind date” can relate to the first meeting for babirusas Betty and Mentari at The Oasis at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. A special matchmaking plan, known as a species survival plan (SSP), introduces the pair to each other on a breeding recommendation. The animal care team put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring both Betty and Mentari made a positive first impression that could develop into something more – a chance at creating a little babirusa piglet. You may recall seeing news about the first baby babirusa born at the park a few months ago, and now you know, it all started with Betty and Mentari’s first date. This threatened species has grown by one more, thanks to the birth of Kirana. Another great “first” in this episode follows our herd of Hartmann’s mountain zebras as they are introduced to their new home on the savanna at Kilimanjaro Safaris. Move-in day was a big moment for the animal care team, who successfully transferred the herd onto the savanna for the first time in the park’s history. This big family moment was made extra special with the arrival of a male foal born into the herd just a few weeks prior. Here’s a look at the newest member of the zebra family: I hope you are getting a chance to enjoy the “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom” and its first-ever looks at some of the incredible behind-the-scenes work that goes into taking care of 5,000+ animals. You can become part of the conservation conversation by following us on social media. We’re sharing even more behind-the-scenes content from our animal keepers on @drmarkatdisney on Instagram and @DisneyASE on Facebook.

We’re suckers for a sweet and zippy soda, especially when it’s accompanied by the sights and sounds of Disney Springs! Coco-Cola Store That’s why we do find ourselves frequenting the Coca Cola Store! Sometimes we’re checking out new merchandise, sometimes were chilling on the rooftop bar with a cold cup of Beverly (ok, maybe not LOL). Today though, there’s a fun Halloween cocktail at the Coca Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar and it’s filled with…summery flavors? Disney Springs just announced the returning FantaWeen Punch, AKA the Drink of the Month at the Coca Cola Store! This eerie-looking concoction is made with Evan Williams Peach, Simply Orange Juice, and Fanta Orange! ©Disney Maybe we wouldn’t typically think of peach and orange as flavors of the Fall season, but this drink is more Halloween-y in looks than it is in taste. The punch is a vibrant orange color with whipped cream on top and a blood-red cherry dripping down. That’s spooky enough for us! Coca-Cola Store You can find the FantaWeen Punch at the Coca Cola Store in Disney Springs right now. We’ll be looking to give it a try soon so stay tuned to see what we think!

Disney World tends to spoil us for choice when it comes to options for our MagicBand collection. Now, two new MagicBand designs are available for a pre-arrival exclusive preorder for Resort Guests — and one of them has us thinking that the MagicBand people maybe missed a memo. MagicBands Back in July, we reported that a few Disney World attractions are closed indefinitely — Stitch’s Great Escape, Primeval Whirl, and Rivers of Light. So what’s up with this Rivers of Light MagicBand? It’s cute…but the timings a little off. As we mentioned, two new MagicBands were released as pre-arrival exclusive preorders for Resort Guests and those with renewed Annual Passes. The one that piqued our attention the most was the Rivers of Light MagicBand. True, Disney sometimes releases merchandise based on extinct attractions — but this has us saying “Too soon.” Rivers of Light MagicBand The special price on this MagicBand is $20 when it would typically run you around $29.99. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a super pretty design. If you’re looking for an orange band to round out your collection, this could be the one. Just say a little RIP to Rivers of Light as you order it. Rivers of Light The other MagicBand is this super-patriotic Americana Mickey MagicBand (that we’ve seen in the parks) for a preorder price of $15.99 compared to a typical value of $20.99. This one is totally a late arrival from July 4th, but Walt loved America year-round and you can rep that love too. Americana Mickey MagicBand Overall, we actually DO like these new designs even if they do have us scratching our heads. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest news for Resort Guests, Annual Passholders, and everyone else too! Click here to learn more about the potential closure of Rivers of Light!

It is no secret that Disney World’s waffle game is STRONG. Mickey Waffle From the Pumpkin-Spiced Mickey Waffle Sundaes to the chocolate Mickey waffles, we haven’t met a Disney waffle that we don’t like! In honor of this year’s “Waffle Week,” Disney released a unique waffle recipe from the theme parks! The recipe is for Chocolate Waffles with Espresso Frozen Mousse from Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! The chocolate and espresso sound like a perfect match! ©DisneyParks We loved this snack in the parks and we are SO excited to have the recipe! Here’s how you make this delicious treat! Chocolate Waffles with Espresso Frozen Mousse Serves 8-10 Ingredients Espresso Mousse 3 cups white chocolate chips 4 cups heavy cream, divided 3 tablespoons espresso or strongly brewed coffee 6 egg yolks Chocolate Sauce 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 2 teaspoons corn syrup 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips Waffles 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cups milk 1 egg 1/4 cup butter 1/8 cup semisweet chocolate chips Directions For Espresso Mousse Place white chocolate chips into a medium heatproof bowl; set aside. Combine 1 cup heavy cream and espresso in a small saucepan over high heat; heat until very hot but not boiling. Pour hot cream over white chocolate chips, whisking until melted and smooth. Add egg yolks, whisking until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip remaining 3 cups cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into white chocolate mixture until smooth. Dollop mousse into a lightly greased muffin tin. Freeze until hard. For Chocolate Sauce Whisk together heavy cream, sugar, water, corn syrup, and cocoa in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking often, until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat to low; whisk in chocolate chips until completely melted. Keep warm until ready to use. For Waffles Sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk together milk and egg in a separate bowl. Combine butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 20 seconds; remove from microwave and stir for 10 seconds, then microwave 10 seconds more. Remove from microwave and stir; if chocolate isn’t melted, microwave 10 seconds more. Add melted chocolate and butter mixture to milk and egg mixture. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Cook waffles in a waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. To Serve Remove espresso mousse from freezer and dip bottom of pan in warm water to remove mousse. Top warm waffles with frozen espresso mousse. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve immediately. Since these waffles are no longer on the menu in Animal Kingdom, we are so happy the recipe has been released to the world! As always, we will keep you updated on ALL of the latest Disney recipes!

There’s just something about having an authentic Irish meal and drinking authentic Irish beverages in a pub at Disney World. Raglan Road And we can do both at Raglan Road at Disney Springs, but after its reopening, we noticed were some pretty major changes to the restaurant’s online menu. And we just noticed even more changes to the online menu. Let’s start with brunch, which combines TWO MEALS IN ONE (breakfast+lunch is always a win). The weekend brunch starters menu mostly remains the same, including the Nom Nom Wings. Nom Nom Wings at Raglan Road But one NEW item has been added to the Brunch Starters. The Boxty Baa Baa for $16 is an Irish potato boxty with braised lamb shoulder and a smoked eggplant puree with a herb crumb. That sounds YUM. Raglan Road Brunch Menu Starters ©Disney However, the brunch sides had one change that has us perplexed: you can no longer get a side of Irish or American bacon! NO BACON? Instead, the restaurant has added Garlic Parmesan Chips for $8. It’s not that we don’t like chips, but they’re hardly a substitute for bacon. No bacon? The other changes are on the drinks menu. The Mixed Berry Margarita is gone, but two new drinks have replaced it. The Bailey’s Salted Caramel Irish Coffee for $13.50 is Baileys Salted Caramel, fresh Ristretto topped with cream and caramel. That sounds DELISH. It also seems like this has replaced the regular Irish coffee. Irish Coffee at Raglan Road There’s also the seasonal Samhain Sangria, which is Jameson Black barrel, Wither Hills sauvignon blanc, apple cider, seltzer, house-made cinnamon syrup, fresh cranberries, apple, and orange. And it, too, sounds pretty amazing. This seems like an upgrade to Raglan Road’s previous seasonal Druids Samhain Potion. Druids Samhain Potion A glass of Samhain Sangria is $14.50. All in all, these aren’t major changes, and we can’t wait to try out some of the new dishes! When we do, we’ll let you know what we think of them!

Today, Orange County in California hosted a news conference to provide an update on the county’s reopening initiatives in the wake of the global pandemic. The news conference follows what has been several rocky days between the state of California and the Disneyland Resort, after Governor Gavin Newsom noted that he is in “no hurry” to release theme park guidelines. Disney promptly issued a response to the governor’s remarks later that evening. ©California Governor Gavin Newsom During a question and answer session with reporters, Dr. Clayton Chau, County Health Officer, was asked about the reopening of theme parks and if there was any concern that the parks could become a “super-spreader site.” His response highlights the work that he and Dr. Mark Zahn, Dr. Mark Zahn, Medical Director of the Division of Epidemiology at the County Health Care Agency have done with Disneyland over the past several weeks and months. A reporter asked Dr. Chau, “Are you not concerned that opening up some place like Disneyland could become a super-spreader site where you have people coming from all over the country potentially, perhaps transmitting or catching COVID, and that could also include the staff, the people who work at Disneyland and these places, many of whom I think live in the areas directly surrounding it, which already have some of the highest test positivity rates?” Disney California Adventure Park Dr. Chau responded by noting that “We have been working very closely with Disneyland on their proposed reopening plan.” In regards to Disneyland’s exact reopening plans, Dr. Chau said, “As far as we know, their plan is pretty solid as how they’re going to control the number of people that they would allow to visit their theme parks, as well as the process that they have put in place, mimicking what they have done in other areas and also controlling who would be the first wave of visitors that they would allow to come and enjoy the park.” Disneyland Main Entrance Dr. Chau included remarks about the active work currently being done by the county and Disneyland. He said, “Of course, we have dialogue back and forth with Disneyland…yesterday…we had a one hour meeting with Disneyland again, despite not knowing when the park would be open but we continue to work with them in their process in how to safety reopen the theme park.” Disneyland Social Distancing Signs Dr. Chau continues, “We made recommendations when Dr. Zahn and I had a visit, and did a walk-through at the parks a week ago, and they already came back with a plan on how they’re going to adjust and modify our suggestion, and you will see some of those suggestions actually will be implemented right away at Downtown Disney.” Digital Screens at Downtown Disney Despite the active work being done, Dr. Chau pointed out, “Ultimately, I am aware that the decision is based on the Governor and Department of Human and Health Services in California as well as the California Department of Public Health. Dr. Zahn and I have participated in conversations with those agencies and Disneyland on several occasions.” Disney California Adventure Park Social Distancing Signs Dr. Chau concluded his response by saying, “Rest assured…we’re very aware of the risk, but the risk is everywhere, and we strongly believe that if we plan it well, and if the community and the visitors coming into Orange County follow the strict non-medical public health prevention such as wear a mask, frequently clean your hands and sanitization procedures, and stay home if your sick, etc., that we can do this, because it’s been proven to work in other countries. We’re not the only one. So this has been proven to work, we just need the community to really follow that guidelines in order for us to safely reopen our economy and businesses.” Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Currently, there is no reopening date announced for the Disneyland Resort. Upcoming reservations with arrivals through October 24th are being canceled, and new reservations are being accepted for check in dates starting on November 1st, though this is no guarantee that the parks and hotels will reopen at that time.

Not too long ago, we were working on our McDonald’s Happy Meal Pixar keychain collection. Coco and Joe Gardner Now, McDonald’s is back at it again with some Marvel Studios Superhero toys, and we thought “Wow! Marvel toys! Hooray!” but the one we got yesterday was…terrifying (at least to us)! There we were, so hopeful, making our way through the McDonald’s drive-thru. We got our Happy Meal and were so excited — for the toy and the food of course! McDonald’s Happy Meal We opened our box to see what fun item we got inside and found…this. McDonald’s Vision Toy Don’t get us wrong, we like Vision! We’re excited for the new WandaVision series to come out on Disney+ and there’s no denying he’s got some awesome superpowers, but something about this toy is just disconcerting. Like, is it those eyes? Or those somewhat realistic facial features on his large head on top of his smaller body? Like, seriously, this is the type of toy you fear will come to life at night and you’ll just find it sitting on your nightstand staring at you. In that respect, it might be the perfect toy for Halloween. McDonald’s Vision Toy Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised though, this is the same McDonald’s that has turned the Happy Meal box itself into a strange looking little animated creature. Why, McDonalds, why? ©McDonald’s You can try your luck at a McDonald’s near you and see what Marvel toy you get. Each Happy Meal at participating McDonald’s locations will have one Marvel toy in them for a limited time while supplies last. There are a bunch of different ones including Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Groot, and Hulk! Just look at how cute Groot is! Marvel Toys at McDonald’s | ©McDonald’s Each of the toys also does a little action — like Vision has some fist punches that he does when you push a button on the back of the toy. It looks like you may also be able to connect the bases of the toys together as you form your collection. ©McDonald’s We’re excited to begin this McDonald’s quest and see what toys we can collect!

This year has definitely been a unique one for movies due to the global pandemic. ©Disney Disney’s Mulan was initially released on Disney+ for an additional fee, and Marvel’s Black Widow has been continuously delayed and actually won’t be released until 2021. Today, we heard some more news about another Disney film that was set to be released later this year in theaters. Disney and Pixar’s Soul was announced quite some time ago. It was originally set to debut in June of this year, but then was pushed back to November 20th. Soul ©Pixar | Disney Recently, we’ve gotten a sneak peek at the film, spotted some merchandise for it in Disney World, and even heard about a short that was set to premiere in front of the movie in its theatrical release. But, now we’ve got a new update! According to the Pixar Soul Twitter page, the movie will be streaming exclusively on Disney+ on Christmas Day — December 25th! ©Disney | Pixar In international markets where Disney+ is not available, Soul is set to be released theatrically but the release date(s) have not yet been announced. Soul Happy Meal Toy Bob Chapek, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Walt Disney Company, said that Disney is “thrilled to share Pixar’s spectacular and moving ‘Soul’ with audiences direct to Disney+ in December.” He also noted it is a “truly heartwarming and humorous story about human connection and finding one’s place in the world will be a treat for families to enjoy together this holiday season.” ©Walt Disney Studios | Soul Variety reports that, unlike how Mulan was initially released for a premium fee, Soul will be available to all Disney+ subscribers on Christmas day at no additional cost. ©Walt Disney Studios Soul follows the story of Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx), who is a middle-school band teacher. Joe gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town, but one small moment takes him from New York City to “The Great Before” — the place where new souls get their personalities, quirks, and interests before they travel to Earth. ©Walt Disney Studios Joe is determined to get back to his life in New York, so he teams up with a soul named 22 (voiced by Tina Fey), “who has never understood the appeal of the human experience.” And, here’s the real kicker in Disney’s description of this film: “As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.” Bring in the tissues! ©Walt Disney Studios Pete Doctor, the film’s director (who also directed Inside Out and Up) says that “‘Soul’ investigates what’s really important in our lives, a question we’re all asking these days.” He said he hopes the film will “bring some humor and fun to people at a time when everyone can surely use that.” Soul ©Pixar | Disney In a press release about the film, Disney has noted that “With over 60 million subscribers within the first year of launch, the Disney+ platform is an ideal destination for families and fans to enjoy a marquee Pixar film in their own homes like never before.” Joe Gardener Happy Meal Toy We CANNOT WAIT to wake up on Christmas morning and watch this movie with some nice hot chocolate, all bundled up in our Christmas pajamas! We’ll let you know as soon as we get more details so be sure to come back for more updates. Click here to get a sneak peek at the movie!

We’ve seen LOTS of Mickey plushes around Disney World and online, but some of the cutest and most unique ones have been the Limited-Edition Year of the Mouse plushes.
