Disney Trip Outfits Sept 2015

Sorry I've been MIA lately... between crazy schedules and my Disney trip it's been hard to well focus.

But I'm back now and getting a lot of questions about where my Disney outfits this trip came for soon...

Let's dig into my closet shall we lol

Day 1: Magic Kingdom... Eating at Be Our Guest so needed a Belle outfit of course! This one is one of my favorites. Tank is from Redbubble... Yup it has our enchanted friends on it! Skirt is probably my new favorite thing ever! It's the Thomas Kinkade print but on a shirt and not as expensive! You get that print in a skirt, dress or leggings from Soft Kitty Clothing UK!!! Hat is an old one from the parks and my felt buddies are by my girl BrittyFaz Creations!

Day 2: Part 1 (yup there were costume changes)

Chef Mickey outfit!!! I went with the Monorail theme with monorail ears from EarBowtique on etsy, tank again from Redbubble and awesome Mickey balloon clip by the amazing BrittyFaz Creations! 

Then it was off to Hollywood Studios...

Bullseye ears made by EarsComeTrue on easy, toy story tank from Shirts.com and shoes made by the epic ForEverBeYou who also made my sister's ducktales/talespin shoes! Her tank is from Kohls and the ears... BrittyFaz!!! 

Day 3: Villains outfit that I got from Hot Topic and then my costume for MNSSHP (details on article below)

Day 4: Animal Kingdom 

My tank is from Hot Topic and Jackie's minnie tank is from Tilly's. Both our ears are from the park but I added a lion king bow to the left ear that I got at Hot Topic. Alissa in the middle got her dress from Animal Kingdom too! 

Oh did I mention there was another change that night.. well I wasn't going to wear Lion King to The 1900 Park Faire Happily Ever After Dinner! 

Look how awesome my girls look in their handmade Step Sisters outfits!!!!! My step sister tee is from Redbubble, BrittyFaz aka Drizella made my ears and the Cinderella skirt is from Soft Kitty! 

Day 5: Epcot... no changes today lol

Lady and The Tramp tanks are from Hot Topic, my Mickey treat ears are from EarBowtique and my sisters orange Mickey balloon is custom made by BrittyFaz! 

Last Day :( One last visit to Magic Kingdom

The two mermaid costumes on the end were made by BrittyFaz and the purple mermaids ears (aka Kim) were made by EarBowtique. The Ariel dress, Ariel Ursula tank and Aladdin tank are all Hot Topic and my Ursula ears are again from the park with an added hot topic bow

For more pics of my epic trip follow my instagram @TheChristinaKay 

Celebs LOVE Disney!

Well everyone does lol

Our buddy Nick Jonas KILLED it at The Orlando House of Blues in Downtown Disney errr Disney Springs this weekend!

Not only did he perform but he got to take in the parks too along with buddy Kate Hudson.  The two were spotted on Rock And Roller Coaster and it got me thinking that's usually the ride celebrity's are spotted riding...

Ok wait maybe Dumbo.... 

Dumbo I can see because it's outside and who doesn't love Dumbo! Rock N Roller Coaster is a crowd favorite but idk about you but when I'm about to go on it I'm in a panic to put everything away so it doesn't fall out on the ride that taking a pic of a celebrity is just not going to happen... unless you take a photo of their photo at the end.... 

Have you ever seen a celeb in Disney?! 

We saw Melissa Joan Hart on the Jungle Cruise this trip lol

~Christina 

Hold On To Your Wallets Folks....

101 Dalmations, Mickey, Alice In Wonderland plus Jungle Book have been announced and yes I am beyond freaking out!!

Well... I'm in trouble! How about you... which caught your eye?!

Boo To You!

Mouseketeers!! I am so sorry I haven't posted in awhile I've been working A LOT plus I was in Disney!!! This had to be one of my favorite trips! Instead of the normal family vacation my parents invited 4 of my best friends with us and we stayed in a 2 story 3 bedroom villa at Old Key West and had THE BEST TIME!


We of course had to check out the 1st Mickey's Not So Scary of the year and I think we rocked out the Classic Disney character theme....

Donald- My twin sister, Melissa. Costume is from Japan... I know they have the best stuff! Had is made by BrittyFaz Creations
Minnie- Mom. Ears are from the park, skirt from Hot Topic, Collar is from Party City and she used the Disney Parks Mickey slippers and BrittyFaz Creations added the bows of the perfect touch!
Mickey- Dad. You can't see it in the picture but he has custom Britty Faz buttons that he added to red swim trunks. Of course he added the Mickey Ears and Slippers from the parks.
Pluto- Jackie (A Disney Store Cast Member and Best Friend) The Pluto ears are from the park from a long time ago, she made her collar like a pro and paired with a yellow tank, black skirt and tail.
Ok to the back row now...
Daisy- The adorable Alissa. Daisy bow made by BrittyFaz creations and she found a lavender skirt from Charlotte Russe, Pink flats from H&M and you can't see it but she is rocking Daisy earrings from FemmeDeBloom on Etsy
Goofy- Hey... That's Me! I found the Goofy face hat in the park but since Goofy's actually hat wasn't attached BrittyFaz Creations came to the rescue. I got an orange tee from Target, cut a H&M tank to make the vest, found a blue skirt at Forever 21 that of course Britt added a patch on and then ForEverBeYou Creations along with some help from Goofy, literally, made my shoes....
Chip and Dale- Kim aka ForEverBeYou! Her and Dale- BrittyFaz Creations made their entire costumes from hats to skirts and tails!!!

D23 What We Know So Far

Morning Mouseketeers!

Another day of dreaming we were at the D23 Expo. Before we get even more jealous let's recap what we've learned so far...

Movies- We are getting some pretty promising movies ahead from Pixar to Marvel (catch up on more below)

Parks- Both Disneyland and Disney World are getting 14 acre Star Wars Lands that will bring us direct to this popular universe with new rides, updates to Star Tours, and fireworks... again more details below, and while you're checking that out that look at this epic Toy Story Land too! Hollywood Studios is getting a facelift baby!


We got more details on the new Norway Pavillon in Epcot and you can rest knowing that all buildings and atmosphere will be taken out of Norway! The Pavillon will not be all Frozen although the star attraction will be Frozen Ever After.  Disney promises to keep in the tradition of World Showcase while sending you on a Frozen Fun Trip :) And how cute does Sven look... Epcot Update

Oh and speaking of Epcot introducing Soarin Around The World!!! Instead of flying over California guests will fly all over the world... hopefully over the many Disneylands! Oh and the orange groves... love that!

Taking a quick ride to Animal Kingdom now where the talk seems to be focused on Avatar Land... while we've been skeptical we aren't as skeptical after yesterday... still some nerves though.  The thrilling world of Pandora will get even more thrilling in the new land's centerpiece, AVATAR Flight of Passage.  This attraction will let guests soar on on a Banshee over a vast alien world.

Also more details on nighttime at Animal Kingdom.  Rivers Of Light is going to be unlike anything else you've ever seen in Disney parks.  Live performers, floating lanterns, water screens and swirling  animal imagery will make this show a can't miss this spring... we're seeing an animal Fantasmic maybe?  Also set to take place when the sun goes down at Animal Kingdom is The Sunset Kilimanjaro Safaris featuring 2 new species. That's right African Wild Dogs and Hyenas!!!
Whoopi?!

We also learned about some new merchandise that will have us broke and more!! Updates on the way from that and today's fun.

Talk to ya soon,
~Christina

Another Land For Hollywood Studios

Anyone else jumping for joy yet?! Maybe this one will get you excited.... Coming to Hollywood Studios TOY STORY LAND!!! That's right announced at the D23 expo another land!

Told you this was gonna happen weeks ago but now it is official!! The new land will feature Little Green Men Flying Saucers (our alien friends of course) and The Slinky Dog Family Coaster. 

As always we will keep you updated on more details!!! Are your freaking yet?! ~CK 

Get On The Dark Side... Finally!!

After all the waiting it's official STAR WARS LAND IS COMING! And to both Disneyland and Disney World!! This will be the largest single themed land expansion EVER at 14 acres each... yup each! The Star Wars land will transport guests to a never before seen planet, a remote trading port and more!

Bob Iger: "The next chapter in the long and exciting history between Disney Parks and Star Wars [where] we are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single themed expansion ever. These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climatic battle between First Order and the Resistance."

The lands will have 2 attractions and lots of characters and let's face it a lot of epicness we can't even imagine yet!!! More details coming soon!

~CK

D23: MOVIE UPDATE

We're all in this together.... Not being at the D23 Expo that is. Has the depression set in yet... yup! But have no fear your updates are here!

This is what we've learned so far (you know aside from the fact that we have to be there next year):

Finding Dory will be released on June 17, 2016 and what a cast! Of course Ellen Degeneres will be back as Dory and we learned earlier in the year that Ty Burrell will voice a beluga whale and now we have another Modern Family star added to the mix! Ed O'neill will voice Hank the octopus! 

Also going this amazing cast is Always Sunny In Philadelphia's Kaitlin Olson and as Dory's parents Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy... YES PLEASE!!! 

Zootopia is getting a lot of buzz at the expo as well. An amazing cast and concept already and now we have Shakira too!!! Her characeter, Gazelle, is a pop star that we know we are gonna find hysterical! 

Having a mega star in the movie means a new big hit for Disney? We think so... Shakira and Sia have a new original song for the film "Try Everything" that was sampled this weekend and mouseketeers went nuts over! This is a film we will for sure be going to the theater to see March 4th 2016!!!

Disney Animation also revealed plans for Gigantic, a new take on Jack and The Beanstalk that takes place in Spain. And of course we can't forget about Moana with Dwayne The Rock Johnson! He plays a god Maui who with the help of Moana finds out who he is... born a human raised by gods... yes things should be interesting! 

This is like the "Disney Comic Con" so very fitting we got some Marvel Phase 3 updates.... 

Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie were at the expo this morning to talk Captain America: The Civil War.... yup let that depression sink in! Before they showed some exclusive footage Chris Evans admitted that when he is having a bad day he goes online and watches Disney videos and then goes in his trailer and sings Let It Go... ok yea even more in love! 

We have a lot of Marvel characters in this one including Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye, Iron Man and yes Ant Man (who turns part fan boy in this one)!! Exclusive clips played featured an Easter Egg too... a container number 23 in cell D... get it!! This epic film is coming our way May 6th!!! 

Also at the expo Marvel presented more on Doctor Strange, which hasn't begun filming yet but promises to be the darkest and most difficult one to date.

Ok animation, Marvel and up next PIXAR!!! 

Aside from John Lasseter stealing the show with his epic line of shirts we also got news on what's to come for PIXAR! We know The Good Dinosaur comes out later this year, plus we talked about Finding Dory earlier,  so let's talk about Toy Story 4! A lot of nerves going into this one because we were told it was going to be very different from the rest and it will because it's Pixar's first full on love story and it will be between Woody and Bo Peep... that's right Bo Peep Baby!!! Coco is sure to be a crowd favorite as it is about Dia De Los Muertos. The film's main character is Miguel, a 12 year old who discovers a generational mystery that forever changes his fate... hmmm Brave anyone?! D23 expo also revealed there will indeed be a Cars 3 and Incredibles 2, which is currently in development!

Oh also we can't forget about the Pixar Short Riley's First Date... yup Riley from Inside Out! Oh the emotions!!! That will be released with the Inside Out DVD. 

Disney also talked about the upcoming sequel to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland... Alice Through The Looking Glass features the original cast and hits theaters May 27, 2016! 

Ok so 2015 broke records for Disney but I think 2016 is going to be a showstopper as well! 

Which are you most excited about?!

~Christina 

Happy Birthday Thor!!

Happy Birthday to one of the amazing actors that makes up the Marvel Universe, Chris Hemsworth! We thank you for all you have done to make us smile... and swoon! To many more memories...

Calm Before The Storm....

Ok before lots of news breaks at this week's D23 Expo lets cover some new things we've learned this week...

Let's start with the new magic bands!!! I have about 20 no lie and still think there's room for more.. especially when they are this cute!!

Yup that's Figment you see.... PLUS loving these new magic sliders! They are so fun and perfect if you have a lot in the same color like myself!

We really do need new colors though.. Purple please! From Merchandise to another one of my favorite topics... FOOD!

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day so maybe that's why Disney is adding Breakfast operating hours to some popular Disney restaurants.  Earlier this year Disney tested out earlier operating hours at Be Our Guest and looks like they are here to stay! Also The Garden Grill will be opening for Breakfast and finally lunch too!! So convenient to take a ride on Soarin then hang out with Mickey, Pluto and Chip and Dale in their farmer outfits! Menu details to come soon!


Now as far as things we may finally get confirmed at this week's "Disney comic con" we're thinking Hollywood Studios renovations including Star Wars Land, Magic Kingdom rumors, Marvel meets the parks, MyMagic+ coming to Disneyland, the latest for Disney Vacation Club.... oh how I wish I was going!

Lots of news coming soon... we will keep you posted
