Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is now officially open at Disneyland! If you aren’t braving the 4-5 hour lines to ride the attraction today, then enjoy your air conditioned room and the wonderful ad Disneyland Resort has made for the occasion:
Disney California Adventure’s latest attraction opened yesterday with a big ceremony in front of the Paradise Pier attraction and DLNT was on the scene. Here is a complete video of the grand opening of “The Little Mermaid – Ariel’s Undersea Adventure”:
Several people were hoping that the Bakery series (released today at D-Street) would be online. It is! Well, kinda. The Marie, Minnie, and Tink cupcakes are available, but not the other three. The price is $11.95.
Today, Disney announced that Walt Disney World Florida would get another trading night on July 8th. It will be in the Contemporary Resort in the Fantasia J Ballroom from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Woohoo! These have always been a lot of fun. Be sure to be early, last time the line was huge!!!!!!!

What are you putting first???? I think I’m gonna go for the 3″s.
Update: Price now confirmed by photo of poster at D-Street!!
Update: 6/1/11 On Facebook, Kevin from CA, confirmed a price tag of $11.95. We assume that the price will be the same here in Florida. Once we get visual confirmation, we’ll let ya know! This is cheaper then I expected with all the extra vinyl, what do you think of the price tag??
Update: 5/19/11 Disney has announced a release date of June 3 at D-Street FL and CA. They also released pictures and an exciting reveal.
Update: 4/20/11 While looking at the Disney Vinylmation Vault today I noticed that they added Bakery to the list. This usually means that it’s out already, or that it’s really close to release. What do you think? Might it be out in a foreign Disneyland or will we get a surprise on Friday? Also we now know the artist is Susan Foy.
Update: 4/9/11 After a discussion in line at D-Street we pondered if the icing would be removable. Check out the discussion at Cute on the Inside?
4/7/11 How awesome is this? Today Disney added a sneak preview of the Bakery set to their Sneak page. And get this, The Mickey, Minnie, and Cheshire Cat look exactly like MC artistically rendered! First, they were cupcakes with frosting, like we imaged, and then they look very very similar! So check out the whole set, designed by Susan Foy, and let us know what you think!

Mickey Cupcake
Straightforward, but kinda cool. We don’t have many straight forward Mickey heads, so this will be nice. |
 |
Minnie Cupcake
Also simple in design, but perfect in execution! |
 |
Cheshire Cat Cupcake
Purple stripes, with little tuffs of hair at the top. (Hair in a cupcake? ewwwww) Look at that signature big grin! Nice and colorful… great looking piece. “Makes me want a real Cheshire Cat figure.” – Nick |
 |
Marie Cupcake
“Lots more detail here, but I surprisingly am starting to like this Bakery set.” – M.C. |
 |
Tinkerbell Cupcake
I wonder how shinny the glitter is? A very Tink design, the wink is a nice touch. “This is why Princesses are going to be a problem, the head is just to fat for Tink’s look and she looks boyish to me.” – Nick |
 |
Confetti Mickeys Cupcake
“Wow, a fail for the final one. Why not do another character? Donald? Snow White?” – M.C. (before removal of icing) “Great surprise underneath! Like the facial expression.” – Nick |

Susana Gay, the artist behind the 9″ Urban 6 Light Meter figure took some fun pics of the piece along with an old camera and an actual light meter. So, even though the piece is sold out online, you still have a chance to see some of the coolness. Susana also lets slip that the numbers on the right arm are a secret code. We think it’s probably to her husband, Will. |
