The first one, "All of Them", includes a humorous clip of the Guardians of the Galaxy looking shocked at teenage Groot's language.

Macarons at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie


Have you ever tried the Macarons Collection from Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France Pavilion at EPCOT? They're a little bit expensive at just over $10 for the box, but they are truly divine. The flavors include: chocolate, raspberry, mixed berry, banana passion, orange, and pistachio, and all are equally delightful. The next time you're looking for something sweet at EPCOT, be sure to give the Macarons Collection a try.

These Mulan Legos Are Too Awesome

Disney/Lego
Lego recently released several new Disney Princess Lego sets, but my favorite is Mulan. I love the way they captured both sides of her personality in such a small set.

Disney/Lego

Mulan's Training Day includes: a Mulan minifigure, her horse Khan, a temple to honor the ancestors, a blossom-filled cherry tree, a turning training dummy, and a tea set and fan.



There's even a Lego minisode version of the movie. Who knew you could tell the entire story in under ninety seconds?

Frozen the Musical Arrives on Broadway

Disney
Frozen: The Musical has arrived on Broadway. The story you know of two sisters and a family secret now has twice as many songs as the original film. Here's a sneak peek of one of the new songs, "Monster", performed by the Broadway cast.


The costumes and sets look truly magical. I love the way they've designed Sven and Olaf! So cute! Check out the official trailer below.

It's Scavenger Hunt Time at EPCOT

Disney
This year, Disney has two special scavenger hunts as the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. The first is the Egg-Stravaganza scavenger hunt. Guests can purchase a map and stickers for $5.99 from Disney Trader, Pin Central, or World Traveler. As you travel around the World Showcase, keep an eye out for large decorated Easter eggs that have been hidden. Return to Disney Traders with your map and claim a character egg as a prize. This year's eggs include Mickey, Minnie, Sulley, Mike, Cinderella, and Belle. (A word of caution, I find this to be the most frustrating of the EPCOT scavenger hunts as the eggs can be ridiculously difficult to find.) The Egg-Stravaganza scavenger hunt runs from March 16 through April 1.

Disney
The second scavenger hunt is new, and is called Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration. Just purchase a garden map and stickers for $5.99 from Port of Entry. As you wander through the Flower and Garden Festival, search gardens for the plant Spike the honeybee has pollinated. You'll know you've found it if you see a Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration plant stake.
Disney
After completing your map, return to Port of Entry for a springtime surprise. Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration will run through the length of the Flower and Garden Festival, from February 28-May 28. Good luck and happy hunting!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Disney
May love and laughter
light your days,
And warm your heart
and home.
May good and faithful
friends be yours,
Wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty
bless your world
With joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours.

The Avengers: Infinity War Trailer is Here!

Marvel
The trailer for Avengers: Infinity War is fairly epic. It starts with a voiceover from Gamora describing Thanos: "The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal: to wipe out half the universe. If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers." It looks like the Avengers are in for one incredible battle. Avengers: Infinity War arrives in theaters on April 27.

All the world's a stage, 
And all the men and women
merely players;
They have their exits
and their entrances;
And one man in his time
plays many parts,

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is Looking Incredible

Disney
While Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge won't open at Disney's Hollywood Studios until 2019, Disney recently shared a video flyover of the construction and it's looking amazing. The size of this new land was hard to picture when all we could see was a model, but, as you can see, it's absolutely huge! I can't wait to see it completed.


Here's the official description from Disney:

At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests will be transported to the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Here, guests will find themselves in the middle of the action at two attractions that take detail and immersion to the next level: one that lets guests take the controls of Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.

It's going to be awesome!

"Hello! I like warm hugs, too, yah?"

I love Oaken's sauna in the Frozen Ever After queue at EPCOT. The steam covers the window, then Oaken draws pictures on it and says hilarious things.

Just a Little Marvel Lego Love


I still love Legos. I'm pretty sure it's something I'll never outgrow. So when I found this new set of Mighty Micros, I just couldn't resist. Thor vs. Loki, it's too hilarious!
