New Dooney & Bourke Comic Collection Arrives at Disney Parks in October

Chip and Co — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:02:49 +0000

I’m a big fan of the heritage of the Walt Disney Company. In particular, I love when Disney merchandise gives a nod to the past . There is a new Dooney & Bourke collection arriving in October at Disney Parks that draws inspiration from a rather humorous side of Disney – the comic strip. I spoke with Susan Foy , a graphic artist with Disney Design Group and self-proclaimed handbag aficionado, about this new comic-inspired collection.

Inside Club 33 at Disneyland Park

Chip and Co — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:10:45 +0000

You’ve probably walked by, looked up at the iron balconies or stopped at the “33” sign on Royal Street and wondered what was in there. I know I have – Club 33 is a mystery that any Disneyland fan who has not experienced it ponders with each visit to New Orleans Square . Since new club memberships are rarely issued, I thought I’d never be able to see it for myself – that’s why I’m excited to be able to take you with me for a look inside Club 33! First, a brief history. According to Disneyland Food and Beverage General Manager Matt Gray, Walt Disney was attempting to attract new sponsors for Disneyland park while he was at the New York World’s Fair in 1964.

As a newly-minted Harry Potter fan and life-long Disney fan, this interpretation of the former in the style of the latter makes my heart so warm that it's bubbling. Joyfully, not dangerously.

All Aboard Fort Wilderness Railroad for a Trip Down Memory Lane at Walt Disney World

WDW Info — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:49:54 +0000

Just when I think I know Disney history, something always pops up to prove to me wrong. This happened to me the other day when I was flipping through my copy of Dave Smith’s “Disney A-Z” book and caught a glimpse of a listing for “Fort Wilderness Railroad.” Huh? Although I’ve spent nights at the campground before, cheered along the Hoop-De-Doo Revue and taken my son to see the horses at Tri-Circle-D Ranch , I had no idea the property used to have a functioning train that shuttled guests around the resort’s 700 acres. So, I looked into it

Summer Styles for D-Tech at Disney Parks

Mouse Planet — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:01:19 +0000

There was once a time in my life that I didn’t carry any portable electronic devices. Today, however, it seems my electronic gadgets have become accessory items similar to socks or ties. Kevin-Michael Lezotte, Product Developer for D-Tech , and I were recently talking about an industry trend he’s seen where people are decorating electronic accessories to match outfits or moods. While I have trouble selecting which outfit to wear each day, I can understand this trend (I seem to frequently change my profile picture to match my mood)

Every year around this time I find myself asking, “Where did the year go?” Not only is it hard for me to believe that Thanksgiving is just a day away, but the biggest shopping day of the year is right behind it. Every Black Friday, I lace up my sneakers, map out shopping destinations and head out to the stores to face the early morning mayhem on a quest to find the best deals on gifts for my family and friends. This year, I’ve decided to hang up my trusty sneakers and shop smarter – not harder.
