Disney's Frozen Fever Trailer

Get your Frozen fix March 13th when the Frozen Fever short airs in front of Cinderella.  Elsa catches a cold while trying to plan Anna's birthday party with Kristoff, and all sort of craziness ensues.   So far my favorite scene is this: 

I can always relate to Anna's morning hair.

Guess what's next?  Frozen Fever merchandise!

The Disney Store already has a nice selection.

Check out these beautiful girls!  It is nice to see Elsa in a new dress (I bet we will see a lot of it at Halloween)

Toy R Us also has Frozen Fever dolls.

I am sure other stores will soon follow.

Hope this satisfies your Frozen fix!

Family Favorite Friday-The PeopleMover

My brave 3 year old son, thinks The PeopleMover is THE BEST roller coaster in Magic Kingdom.

David is an adventurous kid.  He can even be a little daredevil at times.  However Disney's roller coasters are a little to much for him.  See the below shot on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, clinging to life on Daddy's arm.

Those of you that might have been lucky enough to ride the newest roller coaster at Magic Kingdom know it's pretty tame. Last year's trip was the first time that David was tall enough to ride Test Track and he hated it too.  I take that back he liked the idea of Test Track... designing your own car-taking it out on a drive that is very exciting for a toddler.  The ride part was "too fast."

Then we tried The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.  Now it is my son's favorite "roller coaster." On our last trip we went on it several times.  I have always been a fan of the ride.  I find it relaxing.  I loved it when I was pregnant with David because it gave me a glimpse of Space Mountain.  It's so hard to be in Disney and not being to ride your favorites (I can make a very sad blog post just about that) My youngest nephew used to call it the Poop Train.  Our family has a history with the PeopleMover.

In case my above highlights hasn't have convinced that this is one of our family's favorites, here's why:

No Wait
A Disney Classic-The PeopleMover opened in Disneyland in 1967, and in 1975 at Disney World's Magic Kingdom
Sneak a Peek of Space Mountain- One our last trip Space Mountain was down.  We were able to snap this incredible picture with the lights on

Miles from Tomorrowland-  This is a bonus!  How cool is it that Miles from Tomorrowland's family works for the TTA

One Lil Spark Mom"s #DisneySide Cars Party Review

I received free products in order to host the #DisneySide @HomeCelebrations. The opinions expressed here are my own.

 

 

On Valentine's Day our family was very lucky to host our 2nd #DisneySide @HomeCelebration.  We received our party box from BSM Media and Disney a few weeks ago.  We were so excited to run with the great ideas that were suggested for a Cars themed play date.  I put my own spin on it deciding to have a Valentine's brunch. With the help of Pinterest and all the creative Moms out there, our party was a huge success!

 

I am a busy working Mom, who loves hosting parties, visiting our friends and while blogging on the side.  Of course our family loves DISNEY!  Hosting this #DisneySide party was a great way to combine all the things I love.   However, I ran out of time to bake so most of stuff I served were quick fixes or store bought.  

The goodies we served at the party were assorted pastries, Frozen cereal (I had to try it), mini pancakes, and Twinings Tea for the adults.
See some of our food below:

 Luigi's Tower of Tires (aka mini chocolate donuts)

 

A Meatless Breakfast Burrito Bar showcasing Beyond Meet product seasoned with Taco seasoning.

 

The kids attending loved the Disney themed activities like making Fab Five banners out of straws.  Most of the young ones never seen a paper fortune teller before (this reminded me of being young and predicting who our famous boyfriends will be)

We played pin the mouth on Mickey Mouse.
(yes my child is cheating)
 

I found these awesomely easy instructions of how to make a home-made piñata on Pinterest, which was super easy to make.  I used a Trader Joe's paper bag, a plastic hanger, and some left over streamers.  It was just hard enough to break and the kids loved it.

Overall the party was a huge success!  I know a lot of little ones that took a long Valentine's Day nap!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disney Cruise Line announces Star Wars Day at Sea

How exciting! Disney Cruise Line announces Star Wars Day at Sea on the Fantasy during select sail dates through January through April 2016.  Check it out here!  It also includes screenings of the new Star Wars VII movie, meet and greet with select Star Wars characters (maybe they will include the new movie, and Rebels, with the classics), themed food and deck party.  And of course exclusive merchandise!!!

Earlier this month also announced that it has big changes for Hollywood Studios which will include a larger Star Wars presence. I am thrilled that Lucas and Disney has joined forces.  I can only imagine what changes this will bring to the parks.  This Star Wars themed cruise is a step in the right direction. 

I have a young son that is requesting a Star Wars Rebels themed birthday party.  He also has us promising him to take him to the new Star Wars film when it comes out.  As parent who has so many fond memories of the original trilogy being released, I cannot wait to share the new Star Wars with my son.  I remember watching Empire Strikes Back in the movie theaters, worried about Luke Skywalker and crying thinking Han Solo really died when he was frozen in carbonite.  And the toys oh how bad I wanted the toys.  My mother nagged me that these were boy's toys something little girls shouldn't play with.  Number one reason why I collected as an adult.  Anyways enough about Star Wars sorted past!  Make way the future! Maybe Star Wars Land will happen?!!!
