This fall Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be getting a new lounge. Disney had said it would be a “Beauty and the Beast”-inspired lounge, but we didn’t know the name until now. Recently, Disney shared some more information about the lounge.
It goes without saying that we are a Disney family, but we are also a LEGO family and there’s no denying that. It’s a good thing LEGO makes so many Disney sets!
Disney will change things up from time to time and that includes things like the projections shows. The current projection show at the Magic Kingdom, “Celebrate the Magic,” will soon be replaced with a new show on November 4.
I can’t think of a more iconic symbol of the Beauty & the Beast love story, than the red rose. (Have I mentioned it’s my favorite movie yet?) One my favorite things to do to unwind is crochet, which is why I set out to combine my love of all things Beauty & the Beast, with crochet. In doing so I learned how to make these beautiful, 3D applique roses!!
Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of those places in Disney World that can be difficult to get a reservation. The ambiance of the restaurant is enough to have reservations completely booked all the time. It is themed after Beast’s castle and, of course, its name comes from the famous song “Be Our Guest” from the movie “Beauty and the Beast.”
Disney Parks Blog has given us a glimpse of the merchandise that we can expect to see in the park later this year.
MagicSlider watches for MagicBands will be coming out later this year. According to the post, this has been a popular request from guests. So you can expect to see a Minnie Mouse analog watch and a watch with a digital display this summer.
Next up, new pins! These pins are themed after the Haunted Mansion. One will feature the same design as the brooch that female cast members wear on their costumes at the Haunted Mansion ride. The second will feature a design like the sign found outside Memento Mori (which is where you can find the pins). These are both open edition pins and will be available later this summer.
These next two items are the ones I am going to be looking for during my next trip. The first is a medium-sized figurine of Cogsworth. The really cool part about this figurine is that Cogsworth’s face is a real working clock with a moving pendulum and all! He will be arriving in stores in September.
Also arriving in the fall is a new 12-inch Figment plush. He has been designed especially for the 20th Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. So he comes complete with a chef’s outfit, including a chef’s hat that has the festival name and year on it.
Also on the way are new T-shirts with different villains and Christmas ornaments that are themed to different Disney parks. For more info and to see pictures, check out the post from Disney Parks Blog.
These items will be available in select merchandise locations in Disney World and Disneyland.
Thanks for reading!
