"Incredible" Treats Have Arrived at the Incredible Tomorrowland Expo

Disney
The Incredible Tomorrowland Expo kicked off recently, and it has brought some Incredible treats to the Magic Kingdom. At the Tomorrowland Terrace, try the Dash Pizza, a Sicilian-style pizza available as cheese or pepperoni.

Disney
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe has two new entrees: 

  • The Super Foods Salad includes kale, spinach, quinoa, avocado, blueberries, and pico de gallo
  • The Super Stretchy Burger is flame-grilled Angus beef with deep fried mozzarella sticks, American cheese, bacon, and garlic ranch sauce
Disney
If you'd prefer something sweet, check out the treats at Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies. There you will find two versions of Edna Mode's No Capes, Just Crepes Sundae.
  • The Chocolate Hazelnut Crepe is topped with ice cream and berries
  • The Blackberry-Lavender Jam Crepe is topped with ice cream and Froot Loops
Disney
The Lunching Pad is the perfect place for a quick snack. 
  • The Mrs. Incredible Pretzel Mask is a soft pretzel with black salt
  • The Jack-Jack Cookies are a bag of fresh, mini chocolate chip cookies
Finally, be sure to stop by a Tomorrowland Snack Cart. There, you'll find Frozone's Sno-Cones, a blue raspberry flavored treat perfect for a hot summer day.

The Incredible Tomorrowland Expo runs through September 3. In addition to delicious food, guests can find super new merchandise, meet Incredibles characters, and hang out at a Super Dance Party in Rockettower Plaza from 2-7PM daily.

Gargoyles POPVinyl Will Soon be Flying Into Stores

Funko
My absolute favorite Disney cartoon series in the 90s was Gargoyles. The characters were fascinating: police Detective Elisa Maza, and a small clan of gargoyles that had been stuck as stone for a thousand years: Goliath, Hudson, Broadway, Brooklyn, Lexington, and their pet, Bronx. I loved every episode, full of magic, mystery, and more than a few references to Shakespeare and Avalon.

Funko
Funko has recently announced that their next POPVinyl set will be "the defenders of the night"... Gargoyles! The set includes seven Gargoyles, as well as four additional stone Gargoyles available at select locations. There will also be three POP! keychains. All figures should arrive in stores in July.

Goliath, the leader of the Gargoyles

Brooklyn, who has a great sense of adventure

Broadway, who wants to be a detective

This Christopher Robin Trailer and Poster are Truly Magical

Disney
Disney released a new trailer for Christopher Robin yesterday that is truly magical. Pooh asks a grown up, and very overwhelmed, Christopher Robin to help him find his lost friends. Then Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and the gang set off to save Christopher Robin from losing himself.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

In the heartwarming “Christopher Robin,” the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.

The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Is Winding Down For Another Year


This weekend is the end of this year's EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. You have just enough time to search for Spike the bee in Spike's Pollen Nation Exploration scavenger hunt (the patches are too adorable), listen to one last concert (this weekend it's The Spinners), and eat some amazing food. (I recommend the Warm Chocolate Cake with Bourbon Salted-Caramel Sauce from the Smokehouse, or the Tropical Mousse Cake from Isls Fresca. Both are delicious!)

LEGO has an "Incredible" New Game On the Way

WB Games
I love the Lego videogames. They are a ton of fun to play and can be quite addicting. The latest LEGO game features that irrepressible family of supers, the Incredibles. Team up with the Parr family to take on villains and protect the citizens of Municiberg and New Urbem.
LEGO The Incredibles will be available on three systems: Playstation4, XBoxOne, and Nintendo Switch. It arrives in stores on June 15.


Here's the official synopsis from WB Games:

Inspired by both films, LEGO® The Incredibles allows players to tackle crime as the super-powered Parr Family. You’ll get to explore action-packed story levels and an epic hub world, including Municiberg and New Urbem, as you use your unique super abilities to bring the city’s villains to justice. You can assemble incredible LEGO builds either on your own or team up with family and friends in two-player co-op mode for twice the fun.

The Emperor's New Groove POPVinyl are Fantastic

I adore Funko's Disney POPVinyl figures. They are so CUTE and they always seem to capture the essence of the characters. The latest set features characters from The Emperor's New Groove. Emperor Kuzco is especially groovy.

Funko
Poor Pacha looks adorably happy, despite his misadventures with Emperor Kuzco.

Funko
Kronk is my favorite character from the movie. Nothing ever seems to bring him down.

Funko
Yzma is looking delightfully evil, complete with llama making potion in hand.

Disney/Lucasfilm
Disney has released seven new Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Shorts in honor of Star Wars Day. They feature characters from episode 1 through episode 8, as well as Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. It's fun to see these brief glimpses into another side of the characters we've come to know.

In "Monster Misunderstanding", Queen Amidala must solve the mystery of a Sando Aqua monster that is attacking a Naboo dock.


In "Art History", Sabine and Tristan protect a statue that is important to the people of Mandalore.


"Porgs" finds Chewie trying to stop the porgs from tearing apart the Falcon, until he sees why.


In "Perilous Pursuit", Finn and Rey must each work to their strengths to escape the snowtroopers.


In "Traps and Tribulations"  Luke and Leia help Kneesaa and Wicket stop a rampaging Gorax.


And finally, in "A Disarming Lesson", Ahsoka teaches Ezra in a whole new way.

May the 4th Be With You!

Lucasfilm
It's that time of year again... May the 4th, or as it's known around the world, Star Wars Day. Today is a good day to kick back with a glass of blue milk and maybe a few Wookie cookies and watch a few of your favorite Star Wars films. A new movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is headed into theaters later this month. It's the story of how Han Solo met several of his friends, like Chewie and Lando Calrissian, and became the smuggler and rogue we all know and love.

Lucasfilm
In the film, the Millenium Falcon is owned by Lando, and it's in quite a different state than the one we're most familiar with. Check out this tour of the fabulous Falcon with Donald Glover, who plays Lando.



It looks pretty amazing, right? Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on May 25. Until then...

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the Force be with you, always.
