Some of the most recent news is the announcement of the latest merchandise offering that is coming to the Downtown Disney Marketplace in 2014; Marketplace CO-OP. This will occupy the space that currently houses one of my favorite stores, Team Mickey. While Team Mickey will be closing in early 2014, I think most Disney fans will be pleased with what is going in its place. Don't worry sports fans - you'll still be able to get your fix; just keep reading.

Marketplace CO-OP will offer a new and unique shopping experience for guests of the Marketplace. Tom Sheldon, who is Manager of Retail Design and Development for Disney Theme Park Merchandise, promises visitors a connection to the environment and the ability to foster a sense of discovery, just like marketplaces in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. "It will be an incubator to introduce exciting new Disney retail shops and products," says Sheldon.

At opening, the Marketplace CO-OP six new spaces will be:

  • Beautifully Disney – A beauty destination for woman featuring make-up, fragrance and beauty accessories.
  • Cherry Tree Lane - Accessories for the sophisticated woman with a passion for scarves, shoes, bags and jewelry.
  • D-Tech on Demand – A place to personalize and customize your own electronic accessories.
  • The Trophy Room- Vintage inspired, lifestyle sports apparel and collectibles.
  • Centerpiece - Home product for Guests that want a splash of Disney in their room furnishings, textiles and everyday ware.
  • Zoey and Pickles - A girls’ destination containing the latest trends and glamour for the up and coming fashionista.
Keep your eye on MikeandTheMouse and we'll update you as Disney Springs transforms over the next couple of years.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...
