Customizable Mouse Ears

I’m not sure how I feel about this: LA Times story Customizable Mouse Ears Coming to Disneyland
ears

On one hand, its kind of cute… I can see that little girls would have a blast picking out little sequins and princess things to stick on the ears, or that little boys would like putting pirate stuff on their ears, and getting your name on the back is still the same. On the other hand, why are we messing with a classic?

Mouseketeers made the Mickey Ear hat popular, from the old Mickey Mouse Club Show. Black for boys, and black with a Minnie Mouse polka dot bow for girls. Yellow script letters on the back with your name on it. Cute pink ears with sequins are not Mouseketeer Ears.

Toy Story Midway Mania

May 14, 2008 · No Comments

The Toy Story Midway Mania ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in WDW was open for a Preview last week. Why do I care? Because a similar ride will be opening this summer, at California Adventure. When we visited DCA last summer there were walls up all around the midway, from King Triton’s Carousel all the way down the boardwalk and in front of the Ferris Wheel.

Here is a link to some photos of the WDW preview of the ride: Midway Mania

I don’t know about you, Disney fans… but Toy Story is one of my all time favorite movies. I withstood thousands of viewings of the Toy Story Movies when my kids were little. It was their absolute favorite, and we can all recite lines from the movies. So, I can’t wait to see the new Midway Mania ride… its sure to be full of clever and entertaining features.

There are some great video previews of Mr. Potatohead outside the Midway Mania ride at DCA, on You Tube. Here are a couple.

You Tube has a ton of videos of Hong Kong Disneyland’s soft open of It’s a Small World last week. There is some speculation that this is what the refurbished It’s a Small World at Disneyland California will look like when it is finished.

Here’s a video of the OLD version, for comparison.
