Fabulous Find Friday

Today’s fabulous find item is a Maleficent shirt in the Disney Villains 2.0 by Noah Collection . The official name for the design is “Horns and Thorns”. I consider Noah to be very creative and love to see how he views the Disney characters.   Noah has done several Disney prints and even designed Vinylmations.  As a Vinylmation collector, I hope to add one of Noah’s to my collection.  I found the shirt at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.  The shirt retails for $38.

Fabulous Find Friday

Today’s fabulous find is actually a fabulous custom Vinylmation made by Kelsey F ( @kelskc ).  Kelsey, who has a blog entitled n3rdgrl.com , informed me she would be experimenting with creating custom Vinylmations a couple of months ago. You have probably seen Kelsey mentioned in pervious posts by me.  Kelsey and I are usually together for Disney Store Vinylmation releases.  I saw some of her great work and immediately asked if she could create me one.  I gave her a 9” Create-Your-Own Vinylmation and waited on pins and needles to see the end result.  I told her I did not want to see the Vinylmation in pictures but in person.  I will say I was so happy and excited about her view of a Vinylmation for me.  Kelsey is so creative!!!  Please bookmark her vinylmations page to see upcoming designs from her.

Fabulous Find Friday – Duffy Vinylmation

Today’s fabulous find is the 3” Duffy Vinylmation.  Any Vinylmation is a fabulous find right?   I was hesitant at first to purchase one due to Vinylmations are to be in the shape of Mickey Mouse in my world.  I must say I was surprised at how cute it was with the details.  Duffy was available via the Official Vinylmation Facebook page until a certain date and then became available at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and DisneyStore.com on 6/29.  The 3” Duffy Vinylmation retails for $14.95.

Disney Traditions

After reading Sara’s (@MickensMouse) post about Disney traditions, it got me to thinking about what traditions I have.  I always go to Downtown Disney after checking into my resort on arrival day.  I am always tempted to stop at the World of Disney or Pin Traders, but that would not be following tradition.  The first place to stop is Earl of Sandwich for a Tuna Melt.  I have never tried another sandwich from here. So I guess my sandwich is a tradition also.  After eating, I will make my way to Pin Traders to purchase a pin or two.  The next stop is Trend-D to look at the Disney Dooney & Bourke bags and cute shirts.  I will stop in Ghirardelli for a free piece of chocolate.  I love the ones with caramel and peppermint bark during the Christmas season.  Then it is time to walk around World of Disney making a list of things I want.  Since I am a Vinylmation collector, I have to go to D-Street.

As for a traditional first park, I really do not have one. I am a go-with-the-flow type of person when it comes to what park to visit first.  If I am with my 6 year old godson, he likes to go to Magic Kingdom to ride Dumbo and Splash Mountain.  Sara likes to go to Magic Kingdom first as well because she must sing and dance to the parade.  I tell her she needs to apply for a role due to her knowing the moves.  One of my best friends, Stacie (@scook522), likes to go to Epcot first but will negotiate with her son, my 6 year old godson, to see if he will allow a quick stop to Epcot before Magic Kingdom.

When addressing traditional park food, I must have a churro and a Mickey ice cream bar.  I have noticed it has recently become a tradition to eat breakfast at Whispering Canyon Café at The Wilderness Lodge.  My parents stay at Fort Wilderness due to them having a RV.  They love to eat at Trail’s End Restaurant.

I am looking forward to my late September 2012 trip with my family and friends.  This trip will include my nephew, who will be one in November. I cannot wait to see his face when he meets Mickey Mouse for the first time or try sweets that I will sneak to him when my sister is not looking.  Most important, what collection will I start for him – pins, Vinylmation, any suggestions?  With him being a new edition to the Disney trips, new traditions will begin. 

 I would love to hear what some of your Disney traditions are.


Fabulous Find Friday

Today’s fabulous find item is an app called Mouse Vault presented by Vinylmation Kingdom.  I purchased this app due to recommendations from two close friends.  As you know from my post, My Vinylmation Collection, I have a lot of Vinylmations to keep track of and I am prone to forget what I have.   I do find the app very helpful and easy to use.  It lists all of the series currently available in alphabetical order.  You can put in a number for each Vinylmation and the app will keep a total of your Vinylmation under the My Collection tab.  As you can see below, I am no where near finish with the  inventory of my collection.   On 4/19, I was prompted to update the app and a Wish List was added. I like this new feature.   The app retails for $2.99.

Fabulous Find Friday

The item I am presenting this Friday is the 7” Light-Up Vinylmation.  I am a huge Vinylmation collector and knew I had to add this to my collection.  This Vinylmation was released at D-Street on 3/2.  It comes in four colors and with 2-AAA batteries.  There is also an on/off switch on the bottom.  As you can see I chose green.  The Vinylmation retails for $24.95.

A Touch of Disney In Black History – Anika Noni Rose

 

Photo Credit: BF

 

Anika Noni Rose is an African American singer and actress.  She attended Florida A&M University where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre and went to study drama at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, CA.  Ms. Rose has won numerous awards including a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical Caroline, or Change.  Ms. Rose made her debut in movies in 1999 by starting in King of the Bingo Game.  She appeared in Dreamgirls with Beyonce’ Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy.  In 2008-2009, she appeared alongside Jill Scott in HBO series The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

Ms. Rose was the voice of the lead character, Tiana, the first African American Disney princess, in the 2009 Disney features The Princess and the Frog.  This is one of my favorite movies.  I had the honor of attending the 2011 Disney Legend Award Ceremony at the D23 Expo.  I witnessed Ms. Rose receiving the Disney Legend Award for the voice of Tiana.  She performed “Almost There” one of the songs from the movie.  Good friends of mine, Toni F (@dopey926) and Bob F. (@Jiminy1231), were able to ask Ms. Rose to autograph my blank Vinylmation.  They were also able to see Ms. Rose and other Legends put their hand prints and signatures on plaques that would be bronzed and placed at The Legends Plaza in The Walt Disney Studios.
