What better way to light up the night than with a Mickey light necklace!! Illuminate your day, and night, in star-spangled style when you don this Mickey Mouse Americana Light-Up Necklace. Featuring red, white, and blue Mickey bulbs with six different light modes.

The Star Spangled ringe tees have been available for a bit, but now they are on sale!

We didn’t get a new pair of ears, but the Americana Minnie ears have been re-released!

There are however new LEGGINGS! I really like the patriotic route they took with these too. The navy blue leggings are sprinkled with Stars, and Mickeys!


There are also lots of other matching Patriotic apparel goodies for the new Americana Disney Collection. Both the new reversible sequin Minnie shirt, and Americana windbreaker would look gorgeous with the leggings too, just sayin! I didn’t notice a new Spirit Jersey though, but I hope we see a new one this year!

There is also a selection of Americana apparel for our princesses too!

Last, but certainly not least, is an ornament of Mickey with a red, white, and blue salute to Old Glory!

Disney Is Experiencing Technical Difficulties…Again. The Saga Continues.

From our friends at www.disneyfoodblog.com

This morning, the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction May Tiki Room collection released on shopDisney.

And fans must have FLOCKED to the site, because shopDisney announced they were experiencing technical difficulties.

ShopDisney began instituting a virtual waiting room for the Star Wars merchandise release on May the fourth.

They have used this program to try and control site traffic during popular releases. However, launch day didn’t go so smoothly for the Star Wars merch, because the site was having trouble shortly after the release.

ShopDisney had a few weeks to iron the kinks out and geared up for another collection launch this morning using the virtual queue.

The virtual queue was already being used 30 minutes prior to the release. The announcement stated we would have 10 minutes to browse and fill our carts.

We were able to view the items minutes after they released. Sure, we had to refresh individual pages a few times, but compared to our previous experiences with the Main Attraction releases — this time around wasn’t too bad.

However, another one of our team members joined the virtual queue at 10AM and still wasn’t given access an hour later.

ShopDisney acknowledged the struggle via Twitter stating, “Due to overwhelming interest in today’s release, we’re currently experiencing technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work with our partners to quickly rectify the situation.”

So, the virtual queue system seems to be pretty hit or miss. You could be part of the lot who gets in just fine, or you could end up on a virtual queue list with no concept of where you are in line.

We’d love to hear your experience with shopDisney’s new virtual queue and the new collection releases. Did you have trouble? Get in just fine? Let us know in the comments!

It’s that time of year again! The day that Star Wars fans from across the galaxy come together and celebrate May the 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day. You don’t have to travel to a galaxy far, far, away this year, as your very own Star Wars stories can now come to life at home with the all-new Droid Depot mobile app.

Droid Depot products

The out-of-this-world app, available for free download on the App Store and Google Play, brings your BB-series or R-series astromech droid unit from Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to life for a galactic experience at home. While these droids can interact with elements in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, now your droids can interact with you at home. For those of you who haven’t built an astromech droid unit yet, you’re in luck! You can also channel your inner droid builder in an all-new virtual experience where you can build a digital droid and create a whole new virtual collection of droids!

You’ll also be able to choose some favorite galactic jams by DJ R3X straight from Oga’s Cantina and choreograph your droid to dance its way through your home, check it out:

From the youngest Padawan to the most knowledgeable Jedi, there are also adventures that await you in strategy mode! Here you will be able to play a game of tic-tac-toe with your droid in both easy and difficult modes.

What are you waiting for? The Droid Depot app is available in the U.S. and Canada and can be downloaded for free on the App Store or Google Play. For the very first time, direct from a galaxy far, far, away, pre-built versions of BB-8 and R2-D2 interactive remote control droids from Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are available for a limited time, while supplies last, on shopDisney.com – they’ll arrive at your home, ready to play as soon as you sync them with the app.
