Minnie Mouse Style #D23Expo

Another favorite at D23 Expo was checking out Minnie Mouse fashion - I didn't expect the collection to be so diverse.  Here are my favorites from OPI, Marc Jacobs, Melissa and Harvey's

Disney Fairytale Dolls Designer Collection #D23Expo

One of the new product releases that took my breath away at D23 Expo is the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection.  These dolls are detailed and just stunning.  Get your wallets out, the first set hits stores tomorrow, August 20th.

The Disney Fairytale Designer Limited Edition Doll Sets include Snow White and the Prince; Rapunzel and Flynn Rider; Jasmine and Aladdin; Belle and the Beast; and Ariel and Eric, all brought to life with careful attention. Featuring stunning details, such as satin gowns with subtle ornate prints, embroidered bodices, golden buttons and rhinestone accents, each set is presented in a special keepsake display case with intricate details on the base, including a golden plate with the name of the specific Disney Princess and her partner. Each doll measures 11.5”.

Limited to an edition of 6,000 of each of the five couples globally, each Doll Set retails for $129.95 US/$139.95 CAN and £100/€120 UK/EURO, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

We Scored At Toys R Us #DisneyInfinity

This is totally not a sponsored post but we got a great deal at Toys R Us and I had to share!  I spent a couple hours last night looking over the best deals for Disney Infinity - Toys R Us has a 20% off coupon code: 962213 which made the Disney Infinity Starter Pack $59.99 (suggested retail is $74.99) and because I bought online during their presale I was able to score a free figure and power pack!  What made shopping online even more awesome is that Toys R Us offers free in-store pickup!  We printed our order receipt, walked right in, let an associate know we were there to pickup and we were done!  SO EASY!  This option is the best!!!

Plus now till Sunday, August 24th - All Disney Infinity items are Buy One Get One 50% OFF!

Out of stock!!!

Disney Exclusive!

These are absolutely a good idea!

I think we'll be investing in these!

Villains Pack!

We got the starter pack, Mater and a power pack for $64 total!

My little gamer says it's like Christmas!  He's so excited to play with his Sorcerer Mickey I got from D23 Expo!

To Infinity And Beyond: Disney Interactive #D23Expo

One of the highlights of my D23 Expo weekend was the Disney Interactive presentation.  Presented by Disney Interactive Co-Presidents Jimmy Pitaro and John Pleasants - we got an exciting demo of Fantasia: Music Evolved, live performance by the Disney Chamber Ensemble, world premiere of Blank: A Vinylmation Love Story, in-depth preview of Disney Animated app, sneak peek at It's A Small World Animated Series and finally Disney Infinity!

Blank is super super cute.  I may have even got teary eyed watching the extended teaser. There are 12 episodes and will be debuting this Fall.
Duke, my 7 year old gamer, has been so excited for Disney Infinity - I thought we would hold out till Christmas to buy the starter set but after seeing the preview, I will be up early on Sunday to get it because it looks AMAZING. I was especially excited to hear that the Toy Story play set will be released in October.
Here are all the new characters that will be released from now till 2014.  Who are you excited about?

The most special surprise of all - Sorcerer Mickey!  And one to go home with me!!


Disney Infinity hits store shelves this Sunday - August 18th!

I Was A Paparazzi Cosplayer At D23 Expo

I enjoyed playing an "outsider" in the Disney Kingdom at D23 Expo.  Capturing Disney cosplayers in their true element showing off their fashion and style.  Here are my favorite paparazzi shots.     

My favorite:  Toy Story 3 Barbie!

I saw "DisneyBounding" last Halloween season while at Mickey's Halloween Party.  It is one of the best things to happen to Disney fashion.  Was stoked to see Woody!  

Don't do it, you remember what happened to Eve!

Taking it all in...

Always up to something!!!

The one true Frog Prince!

Princesses gotta eat too.

Typical teenagers.
