Update: GOP Fundraiser No Longer Being Held @ Grand Floridian

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Disney Resorts

The Republican Party’s Statesman’s Dinner originally scheduled to take place on December 7th at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World has been relocated to an undisclosed venue in Miami.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had quickly announced that President Donald Trump would be headlining the state’s major annual Republican Party fundraiser after it was rescheduled from the original November 9th date; then set to take place at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

The Trump National Doral Miami resort will be the venue for the GOP’s winter meetings, but the location of the Republican Party’s Statesman’s Dinner in Miami has not been released. The fundraising event will be closed to the media. Last year, the event raised Florida Republicans $500,000 and is their preeminent fundraising event annually.

New Dooney & Burke Frozen Collection

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Cross out any of the other purchases you had in mind for Black Friday at Disney Springs next week. (Yes, everyone, it’s next week.) A new collection of Frozen Dooney & Bourke purses will be releasing on November 29th and we have a first look at the tote bag design.

Usually all new Dooney collections feature two sizes of crossbody designs and a large tote. Here we have a first look at the tote bag, which features a large print of Elsa on one side and Anna on the other. On the bottom, you can catch a glimpse of what the pattern on the crossbodies will look like, with a baby blue backdrop, frozen fractals, and the two sisters together.

Elsa is seen standing before an icy, snow-covered forest while Anna poses cheerfully in front of the kingdom of Arendelle.

Large Dooney & Bourke totes like this one usually retail for $298, but they’re heirloom quality due to good craftsmanship and would make an excellent Christmas present for any Frozen fan. Do note that the sisters are dressed in their original Frozen attire and not their new costumes from Frozen 2. 

The Frozen collection will be released alongside a Wonder pattern collection celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Dooney & Bourke and Disney’s collaboration. You can find them both at Ever After Jewelry Co. in Disney Springs, with both designs to later be released at Uptown Jewelers in the Magic Kingdom.
