New ‘Star Wars’ Action Figures Loungefly Sling Backpack at Walt Disney World

A new Loungefly backpack featuring vintage “Star Wars” action figures has arrived at Walt Disney World. This is part of an ever-growing collection featuring the retro toys, which also includes a Spirit Jersey. We found the backpack at Uptown Jewelers in Magic Kingdom.

“Star Wars” Action Figures Loungefly Backpack – $75

This is not a traditional Loungefly mini backpack. It is instead a sling backpack style.

The front has tiny holes for pins and includes pins of C-3PO and R2-D2. A patch reads “Collect them all!”

The front pocket is white and reads “Vintage action figures” in pink lettering. Below that is a row of “Star Wars” figures. The Obi-Wan Kenobi toy is saying, “These are not the toys you’re looking for…”

A patch for the 45th anniversary of “Star Wars” is on the side.

The first “Star Wars” film hit theaters on May 25, 1977.

The patch features an image of Luke Skywalker from original concept art.

The back of the bag features some of the action figures with their names.

Among the featured action figures are Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and a Stormtrooper.

The back also features a yellow order form.

The strap is patterned with the “Star Wars” logo.

The strap is adjustable and has a buckle.

The interior of the backpack is patterned with more images of action figures.

Will you be carrying your own “Star Wars” action figures in this new backpack? Let us know in the comments.

VIDEO: Shorter, Rolling Performances of Disney KiteTails Begin at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Rolling performances of Disney KiteTails have begun at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, reducing the two shows into four short segments.

The first show we saw was “The Lion King,” a five-minute show featuring “Hakuna Matata” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.”

Each show is centered around different kites. This show features the young Simba and Timon and Pumbaa kites.

The kites still look great aloft in the air, even without live performers to accompany them.

As the Simba kite landed, the show ended rather abruptly.

A kite of flying fish joined the performance.

Several minutes later, the second show began. This one featured the adult Simba kite soaring around to “Circle of Life.”

The kite emerged from its holding area before taking to the sky.

The Zazu kite is also part of this performance.

The kite travels around Discovery River Lagoon several times before the show ends. All in all, it lasted three minutes.

You can watch both performances inspired by the 1994 film in our video below!

Between shows, character flotillas roll by. While this is going on, Cast Members set up for the next performance.

Between the kites and the flotillas, there always seems to be something going on around the lagoon.

The scheduling of the shows seems to revolve around the flotillas, which traverse the waterways around the park.

The next two shows were themed to “The Jungle Book.” First, the King Louie kite flies around to “I Wanna Be Like You.”

His majesty is accompanied by six kites with colorful tails that form a rainbow.

Eventually, the kite lands, and the performance is over. It lasts approximately three minutes.

Finally, the Baloo kite came out to the tune of “The Bare Necessities” in a three-minute show.

He’s joined by the kite that looks like a bunch of prickly pears.

Sadly, the “Colonel Haithi’s March” segment was understandably cut, as there aren’t live performers anymore.

Adding to the fun, a “boing” sound effect plays when the kite crash-lands. Altogether, watching and waiting all four shows took a little over an hour, punctuated by the flotillas.

You can watch them in our video below!
