Jester Goofy

This Jester Goofy statue looked quite spooky with the sunlight glinting through the fog at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It isn't often that Goofy appears anything other than, well... goofy.

All Aboard Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway!

"Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway", the latest ride at Hollywood Studios and the first in any park to feature Mickey Mouse and Friends, opens today. To celebrate, Disney has created a dazzling array of clothing and collectibles.

First up, a pair of translucent Mickey ears. The headband features Mickey in one ear, Minnie in the other, and engineer Goofy in the train on a spring in the middle. On the side of the headband are lyrics from the ride's theme song: "Nothing Can Stop Us Now!"

Toys from the ride include a train whistle with a train on top driven by Mickey,

a pull back toy that looks like the locomotive and the ride vehicle,

and a set of five stuffed Wishables toys. The soft figures include Chuuby, the locomotive, Mickey & Minnie in a car, engineer Goofy (the one available outside of a blind bag), and Daisy Duck.

Additional items inspired by the locomotive include this hilarious mug featuring engineer Goofy

and this ear hat ornament with Mickey and Minnie.

Several tees, including an Annual Passholder exclusive, feature artwork inspired by the ride and its marquee.

Other Annual Passholder exclusives also feature artwork inspired by the marquee, including this pin and a black Magic Band.

A light blue Magic Band with Mickey, Minnie, & Goofy is also available.

Finally, if you want to commemorate the opening day of this wacky ride, there's a limited edition pin with Mickey & Minnie in the locomotive. All of these collectibles will be available throughout Hollywood Studios. Select items will also be available on shopDisney.com.

Learning To Cook With Goofy

Disney

Disney's latest silly Goofy shorts are all about How To Stay At Home. The three animated shorts include things I think we've all experienced in the last year and a half: "How to Wear a Mask", "Binge Watching", and "Learning to Cook". They remind me so much of the old classic Goofy how-to shorts I watched growing up. So funny! Disney's How To Stay At Home shorts are available now on DisneyPlus.

Autographs - An Adventure in Collecting, Part 3 Hollywood Studios

There are many opportunities to collect autographs at Disney's Hollywood Studios. For some characters, this is the only park where you can meet them for photos and autographs. The lines in this park are generally shorter than at the Magic Kingdom. At Hollywood Studios, I would recommend seeing Prince Caspian, the Incredibles, Playhouse Disney characters if you have little kids who enjoy the shows, Lightning McQueen & Mater, Mike & Sully, and the characters from UP. I haven't been to the Star Wars weekends yet, but I've heard that there are a lot of great characters to meet at these special events, as well as some of the actors who performed the roles in the movies. Most of the characters at Hollywood Studios are in special, themed areas specific to the character and are available throughout the day. Then there are rotating characters at the Magic of Animation building. These characters vary and may change multiple times throughout the day. As a result, you never know who you're going to get, but that can be fun if you have the time.

Characters that can be seen on normal days:
Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Sorceror Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto
Chip & Dale
Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Green Army Man*
Prince Caspian*
Power Rangers Green*, Yellow*, Pink*, and more*
Elastigirl*, Mr. Incredible*, Frozone*
Genie
Playhouse Disney: Handy Manny*, Jojo & Goliath*, Annie*, Quincy*, Leo* & June*
Indiana Jones* & Marion* (after the stunt show)
Lightning McQueen* & Mater* (they can't sign autographs because they don't have hands!)
Mike Wazowski* & Sully* (they can't sign autographs because Roz won't allow extra paperwork!)
Russell*, Mr. Fredrickson (Carl)*, and Dug* from UP

Characters that are sometimes available:
Belle
Mulan
Mary Poppins & Bert, Penguin
Villains: Captain Hook & Mr. Smee, Cruella DeVille, Frollo, Governor Radcliffe, Jafar, Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Queen of Hearts, the Snow Queen, Evil Queen
Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee, the White Rabbit
Rafiki
Snow White & Dopey
Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore
Pinocchio, Gepetto
Lilo & Stitch
Max
Pocahontas & Meeko
Suzy & Perla (the Mice from Cinderella)
Marie

Characters that are only found during Star Wars Weekends:
Chewbacca*, Ewoks*, R2-D2*, Jawas*
Darth Vader*, Boba Fett*, Stormtroopers*, Darth Maul*, Clone Troopers*
Jedi Mickey*, Stormtrooper Donald*, Vader Goofy*, Leia Minnie*

* = only available at this park
Tomorrow, on to Animal Kingdom.

Halloween Clothing and Collectibles Are Creeping Into Disney Parks

All images: Disney

It's nearly spooky season, so it's time for Halloween clothing and collectibles to start creeping their way into Disney Parks. These delightful candy-inspired designs will be available at Disneyland, Disney World, and shopDisney.com. Show your devotion to your favorite park with a Disneyland or Walt Disney World spirit jersey. 

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy sport their Halloween costumes behind a giant Mickey jack-o-lantern on this shirt.

Mickey, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy are a bit retro and fun on this silly shirt. 

Show off your love of candy corn on this reversible sequin shirt.

These candy swirl Minnie ears remind me of the giant lollipops found in the parks.

If a candy corn witch hat is more your style, try these adorable Minnie ears.

This mini backpack from Loungefly is covered in spooky sweet treats.

If you'd prefer something a bit retro, try these pumpkin and candy bedecked masks.

This sweetly spooky Mickey Vampire makes one fantastic plush. And he's featured on a pullover sweater, too.

And finally, who could resist this adorable light-up Mickey ghost? Which of these spooky designs will you choose?
