Let It Snow, man
Its hard to build one of these in Orlando or Anaheim, but we can buy the Vinylmation…. soon hopefully. Holiday #2 Reindeer comes out November 19th, lets hope Disney releases Mr. and Mrs. Snowman soon.
Nerds Rock!
Oh, as a nerd I can relate to these… I can’t wait for Donald! We saw Chip and Dale at Trade City, but this is our first 3D look at my favorite duck.
New 9″ Park 5 Figure Pics!
M.C. played detective and turned the Dreamfinder/Figment box around to snap these for us:
Here is an up close of the new Fantasia 9″
Let’s head over to Toon Town for a ride on Goofy’s Barnstomer.
Post your comments on what you think this 9″ Park 5 Vinylmation depicts.
You’ve Been Punked!
M.C. Visited Festival of the Masters today and brought us back some great pics! Here are 3 of the upcoming Steampunk series Vinylmations… including M.C.’s favorite, the clock gears piece that comes with the pocket watch.
A New Thing to Trade!
It was teased at Trade City this year, and now it’s come true!
Now at the Florida D- Street store there is a clear box where you can trade Vinylmation Jrs!
We were at the Festival of the Masters today and we will soon be posting more photos and a new Podcast about our visit, but we couldn’t wait to announce this new fun feature to you. So far it’s only been seen at the D-street story in Downtown Disney, but hopefully it will be expanding soon. One note: trading is the same as 3″ clear box trading, the only caveat is that your Vinylmation Jr need to have the metal keyring-ish clip on top. I’d you got one from the Sports or Oh! Mickey collections that doesn’t have that feature, you can not trade.
Look back here later tonight for more photos.
Keep collecting!
Mad Tea Party Gives New Paint Scheme a Whirl

Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights Dances with “Phineas and Ferb” in 2010
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is back at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year with a few new additions and some changes:
-In between some of the dance sequences, a staged radio interview with the creator of the spectacle, Jennings Osborne, takes place
-One building has a falling snow effect in the windows, you’ll see this in our video during one of the dance sequences
-Two new sequences starring characters from the Disney Channel original series “Phineas and Ferb” have been added. In the first, Phineas and Ferb fix some technical problems with the lights and then have them dance to “Christmas is Starting Now” from the Phineas and Ferb Christmas Special. The second skit has Dr. Doofenshmirtz attempting to take over the display before being foiled by Perry the Platapus.
WDWNT Reporter Banks Lee brings us a video of the Spectacle with all of these new additions, courtesy of the WDWNTube:
“Disney Junior – Live on Stage!” Coming March 2011
From the Disney Parks Blog:
Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida will celebrate the premiere of Disney Channel’s new multiplatform brand, Disney Junior, with “Disney Junior – Live on Stage!” next year. The lively show in the Parks will debut with new characters, some new adventures and a new marquee.
Children and parents who now enjoy the popular “Playhouse Disney – Live on Stage!” at both Parks can look forward to sharing this new production, which brings back three audience favorites (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny and Little Einsteins) and also introduces a brand new segment based on Disney Junior’s newest series that will debut in February 2011, “Jake and the Never Land Pirates.”
“Jake and the Never Land Pirates” will air on Disney Junior in February 2011 and will share the magical and adventurous world of Never Land with preschoolers. Children will be drawn to the main character Jake, an enthusiastic young boy who leads a team of kid pirates (Cubby and Izzy, along with their faithful pirate parrot, Skully) in fun adventures that encourage interactive responses from young viewers. The clever premise provides kids and families with a fun way to learn teamwork.
Stories from the show will come to life in the Parks with colorful, puppet versions of some of the most popular Disney Junior characters, bright visuals, whimsical scenery that fills the stage, catchy songs and interactive moments.
“Disney Junior – Live on Stage” is scheduled to debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure park in March 2011.
