A new style of Mickey and Minnie Mouse plush has arrived at Walt Disney World. These plushes are made of black-and-white denim fabric.
The denim gives these plushes a vintage look, almost like they jumped out of an old cartoon.
Mickey is in his iconic shorts, gloves, and shoes.
Minnie is wearing a polka-dot bow and dress.
These both retail for $29.99.

The world has changed quite a bit this year, and with the evolution of the theme park experience to match the needs of people, the Disney Vacation Club is completely revamping the way it does business as well.
Prior to the shutdown, DVC cast members could be found at dozens of sales kiosks in the theme parks, resorts, Disney Springs, and seemingly in the most unexpected of places at times. With their staffing reduced and occupancy in the many Disney Vacation Club resort hotels at an all-time low, DVC has found a pretty creative way to sell you on “Disney’s Best Kept Secret”.
Now, guests are welcome to come visit a DVC Open House at select resorts, allowing them unprecedented access to not models, but the actual rooms themselves at each resort. This was not often possible in the past due to high demand to stay in these lodgings.
While staying at the Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge this week, we received a phone call in our hotel room that a Cascade Cabin was open for us to visit. Having always wanted to see one of these, we leapt at the opportunity. While touring the DVC hostess also informed us of opportunities to tour other 2-bedroom rooms and grand villas across all of Walt Disney World property.
If you’re staying at one of the Resorts listed below, you can stop by an Open House at your Resort from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday to Friday—with no need to call in advance. However, if you’re not staying at one of the Resorts below, please call (407) 827-4744 to check availability and schedule your visit.
Here are the rooms available to tour (they may have more rooms available, so if there’s something in particular you want to see, just ask):
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village
Disney’s Beach Club Villas
Disney’s BoardWalk Villas
Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
(Registered Guests of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Only)
Note: Physical distancing measures will be in place at each Open House location to promote the health and well-being of our Guests and Cast Members. Each location will be limited to one family at a time.
You can read more about the offering at DiscoverDVC.com and even chant with a Vacation Club representative there. Guests who tour will also receive a free lithograph gift.
Whether you’re looking to join the Disney Vacation Club or not, this is a tremendous opportunity to see some of the most in-demand and just plain coolest hotel rooms at Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World’s new Tron coaster, Tron Lightcylce Power Run, has been a fun one to follow along with as construction moves forward. Check out the most recent photos of the progress being made at Magic Kingdom!
First up, check out these two aerial photos from @bioreconstruct on Twitter:
@bioreconstruct shares: “Aerial photo (Aug 15) of Space Mountain and outdoor portion of Tron. At arrow, a large concrete support was cast months ago, and it seems like a walkway is being formed connecting to Storybook Circus.

We then set out to snap a few photos of the construction as seen from various areas in the park as of August 24:
Disney’s initial deadline was to have the coaster ready to ride in 2021 – in time to celebrate Disney’s 50th Anniversary. With the pandemic hitting, construction halted back in March but the construction resumed shortly after. Disney has not announced if there will be a delay to the opening. What we do know is it’s fun to watch the progress of the coaster as it unfolds!
