Frozen Blue Raspberry with Svedka Vodka and a Light-Up Glow Cube

Yet again, we have another item that looks absolutely nothing like the picture on the sign. If you stir it a bit, it can be good, but at the end of the day, it is still just Vodka and frozen blue raspberry thrown on top of it. That being said, at least with this one, you can taste that you are drinking alcohol, unlike the poisonous Winterberry Cooler.

This wouldn’t be the first (second, or third) drink I would order at Hollywood Studios, but it isn’t terrible.

A preview, but quite a very small sneak peek. The latest episode of The Star Wars Show focuses mostly on Battlefront II’s voice actor T.J. Ramani, but there is a nice little preview of “Star Wars: Galactic Nights” that will be coming to Hollywood Studios for just one night on December 16th. The clip starts just before 1 minute mark on the video below.

The “Ever After Jewelry Co.” store is set to open today at Disney Springs, “featuring Disney-inspired gifts that glitter and shine, with brands like PANDORA Jewelry, ALEX AND ANI, and Dooney & Bourke to name a few”. Many of these retailers already have separate stores at Disney Springs, but this will bring all of their Disney-related product under one roof.

PHOTOS: First Look at Merchandise for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2017

Drawing inspiration from the whimsical spirit of the party, this year’s collection features festive elements guests may see during the event. Apparel and products range from T-shirts for adults and kids to a holiday ornament.

“We enjoy creating items that remind guests of their holiday event experiences because we know they love mementos that celebrate this special time of year,” says Cathy Dawson, merchandise product developer for special events at Disney Parks. Designed in a style reminiscent of holiday cards and graphics from the 1960s, the event artwork mixes images of wrapped gifts and Disney characters to evoke warm, nostalgic feelings of holidays past. “Shades of reds and greens serve as a nice canvas for fun images of Mickey and Minnie Mouse decked out in their holiday best,” says Dawson.

There are subtle nods to holidays of yore. A great example is the hooded sweatshirt with a dancing reindeer, a playful character seen in “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade” that guests’ have adored for years.

New this year, Goofy and Clarabelle Cow take center stage on holiday sweater-style shirts and a decorative mug inspired by “Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration,” a live show in which Mickey and his pals hold an unforgettable holiday gathering celebrating friendship and music.

Disney pin collectors can decorate their pin lanyards for the holidays with limited edition pins and pin sets; while exclusive apparel and a limited release pin set give Annual Passholders more ways to celebrate the season during the party.
