Everyone's favorite snowman is back with a new series coming this November to DisneyPlus. Olaf will be entertaining the citizens of Arendelle with his delightfully zany take on five beloved Disney movies. 

Doesn't it look hilarious? Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Olaf steps into the spotlight and goes from snowman to showman as he takes on the roles of producer, actor, costumer and set builder for his unique “retelling” of five favorite Disney animated tales in “Olaf Presents,” a series of new animated shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios. The charismatic and versatile Olaf demonstrates his theatrical flair, taking on such iconic roles as a mermaid, a genie, a lion king (and most of the parts in between), as he entertains Arendelle with his delightful abbreviated versions of these beloved tales.

Olaf Presents arrives on DisneyPlus on November 12.

EPCOT's Harmonious Looks Quite Beautiful

Disney

The next nighttime show to arrive at EPCOT will be "Harmonious." The show blends projections, music, and fireworks into a world celebration spectacular. The description from Disney sounds amazing:

The show moves through three distinct chapters, inviting us to gather on the shores of World Showcase Lagoon, celebrate the countries and cultures of the world, and ultimately unite to create a bright tomorrow. “Harmonious” begins with a sunrise, and as the world awakens around us, we set out on a journey that takes us across the globe. It’s a dazzling and diverse feast for the eyes and ears, from the South Pacific home of “Moana” and a Middle-Eastern interpretation of “Aladdin” to “The Jungle Book” in India, China’s legend of “Mulan,” the European nations that inspired “Brave” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and so much more.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at this beautiful new show.

"Harmonious" makes its debut on October 1, 2021, just in time for Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration. 

These Aladdin Wishables Come With Extra Magic

Disney

This year, Disney and Make-A-Wish are celebrating 40 years of making dreams come true. And for the first time ever, Disney has decided to donate 100% of the purchase price of some special toys directly to Make-A-Wish. Representing the Magic Carpets of Aladdin in the Magic Kingdom, this collection of Wishables is absolutely adorable. The set includes five figures:

• Genie
• Aladdin 
• Princess Jasmine 
• Abu
• Magic Carpet

The Aladdin Wishables are available at Disney Parks, the Disney Store, and online at shopDisney.com. They would make a perfect stocking stuffer while helping to support a great cause.

The Voices of Liberty Share Their Voices From Home

Disney

The Voices of Liberty are one of my favorite musical groups at Disney World. These a capella singers' voices usually soar to incredible heights in the rotunda of the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT. With the Parks closed, they are sharing their Voices From Home with a medley of "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story and "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin.

I love all of the Voices From Home vieos. They always bring a smile to my face, and I hope they do the same for you.
