Reminder to Disney Mom’s
Tomorrow is the big day. If you want to apply to be a part of the 2009 Disney World Mom’s Panel, tomorrow is the day to start applying. You can begin applying at 10 AM EST. You have a couple weeks to apply, but don’t procrastinate. You might forget. This is a super deal. If you are chosen, you’ll be awarded a trip for four to Disney World!
There are some obligations if you are selected, but they will be fun opportunities if you are well versed in Disney World knowledge and the trip will be the most awesome reward - much better than a paycheck in my opinion.
Curious to know if you qualify? Check out my previous post for more details.
Disney Cartoons We Love - Coming to BluRay
We haven’t bought a BluRay yet, but I wanted to be sure to share this piece of Disney news with you guys that may have a bluray player that Disney has announced that they will be releasing a large number of their classic cartoons over the next two years on BluRay. Already on the list are:
Among the films announced for release are:
- “Beauty and the Beast”
- “Pinocchio”
- “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”
- “Fantasia”
- “Fantasia 2000”
Disney Theme Park Admission Increases
Disney has increased the price of admission into Walt Disney World and Disneyland. If you are thinking of planning a trip, be sure to budget in these new prices.
At Walt Disney World one day adulkt tickets raised from $71 to $75, and children’s tickets raised from $60 to $63. At Disneyland adult tickets saw an increase of $3 going from $66 to $69, and children’s one day tickets will now cost $59 (up from $56). These price increases will also be reflected in multiday tickets as well as the add ons that some of us choose when visiting Disney. We always chose park hoppers as this allows us to visit multiple parks each day (if it’s crowded, we can leave and go somewhere else), and this option saw a price increase of $5 (going from $45 to $50).
I’ve read that this is because of the increase in price in oil (gas), food, and such, but if you look at Disney’s history, they tend to raise their prices on a regular schedule (prices went up last August) so while I don’t doubt that they are impacted by the increase in prices of these items, I think that Disney tickets will see regular price increases every year as long as they are not hit by less vacationers.
FYI: Six Flags actually decreased their admission prices this summer.
Raven Dropped by Hollywood Records
According to SingersRoom.com, Raven has been dropped from Hollywood Records. Personally we love the Disney show “That’s So Raven” at our house, and we loved her recent movie “College Road Trip” so I’m disappointed about this change, but I wondered what was in her future when the Pajama tour was cancelled earlier this year.
Hollywood Records is a Disney recording label, and it appears maybe this is Disney’s last tie to Raven? I know her show was cancelled a while back and “Corey In The House” was spun off. While I admit to being disappointed, it looks like maybe a wise business move for Disney as Raven’s latest album has sold less than 10,000 copies (This is significantly less than their current starlet Miley Cyrus).
Disney & Toys R US ~ Exclusive Costume Designs
I think I’ve written enough about costumes for you to know we put a lot of thought into the costumes for Halloween, trips to Disney, and even Dress up at our house. I just read about a new set of Disney costumes.
Disney and Toys R Us are joining together to create and sell an exclusive set of ten (10) costumes that will only be available through Toys R Us and Babies R us and part of the proceeds will go towards the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF).
Unfortunately for me it looks like these costumes aren’t going to be large enough for Cameron, but for other Disney fan Moms out there, I wanted to pass this on.
