One of our favorite things to do when visiting WDW is to find a pair of mickey ears for our daughter. Awhile back, we wrote about the new designer Mickey ears that were going to be coming available at Disney Parks.
Here are some of the recently released options. These headbands were designed by notable celebrities, artists, and designers.

Alien Swirling Saucers
Slinky Dog Dash

Disney’s Hollywood Studios FastPass+ Tier 2

When Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run opens with the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in late August, there will not be any Fastpasses available for this ride. It is hopeful that once Rise of the Resistance opens later this year, that Fastpasses will be made available for both Galaxy’s Edge rides.
The opening of Galaxy’s Edge is now within the 60 day window that resort guests get to make their Fastpass selections, hence the changes being made to the different tiers.
FastPasses for Slinky Dog Dash will likely continue to be the hardest one to get.

Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent has a new, fierce foe in “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”: Michelle Pfeiffer’s Queen Ingrith.
And this battle is getting nasty real quick. Queen Ingrith is even packing a crossbow.
The first official trailer for the follow-up to 2014’s Disney hit “Maleficent” dropped Monday, featuring boiling tension between the two forces fighting for Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning), who has been raised by Maleficent from childhood.
Maleficent does not want Aurora’s marriage to a prince to go forward.
“Love,” she tells Aurora, “doesn’t always end well.”
But Queen Ingrith wants the wedding and wants control of Aurora.

Today, during halftime of the Women’s World Cup final (which if you are living under a rock, the USA won), the first teaser trailer for the live-action version Mulan was premiered.
I have to say, I am a little more excited about this one than maybe I should be. based on the trailer, it looks phenomenal!
Check it out for yourself. Mulan should hit theaters in March 2020.
For those who have ever been to Walt Disney World, you know that one of the more frustrating things about it is the transportation. Disney has made this frustration a priority to change for guests.
Several modes of transportation are available at the parks and the resorts. These can range from buses, monorails, boats, Minnie vans, and finally, the latest mode of transportation; the Disney Skyliner.
With the Skyliner set to open this year, Disney has now turned their attention to updating their bus line.
This month, Walt Disney World buses are taking on a new look, adorned with the sensational six: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto. From the red and yellow colors of Mickey’s attire, to the iconic Minnie polka dots and the pastel hues of Daisy.
You will also enjoy refreshed interiors that include brand new blue seats and laminate floors. Some Walt Disney World buses will also have USB charging ports conveniently located between seats throughout, so you can stay in touch with family and friends and keep your cameras ready to capture every minute of your dream vacation.
Check out this video of the Sensational Six.
