Everyone’s favorite gal & Mickey’s sweetheart – Minnie Mouse gets a new collection of handbags from Dooney & Bourke. We found these gorgeous bags at Uptown Jewelers at the Magic Kingdom.
This new collection is very reminiscent of artwork by the late pop artist Keith Haring. The backpack is constructed of white pebbled leather and features thick black line drawings of Minnie Mouse in various poses, accessories including a tube of lipstick, a monogrammed compact, hearts, squiggles, and “Minnie” written throughout the design.
On the lower middle of the front of the backpack has the “Dooney & Bourke” logo framed in a black leather square with white contrasting stitching. In the middle, an outside pocket is secured with a large zipper with a black leather pull tab accented in purple leather.
A hefty zipper runs almost from end to end around the top and sides of the bag. The main zipper pull tab, as well as the top handle, is in the same black and purple leather.
The backpack is lined with a contrasting purple fabric on the inside.
On the back are two black leather straps with contrasting purple trim and white stitching and secured with gold hardware. There is also another zippered outside pocket for smaller items and a black leather tag with “Disney” embossed in the center and also accented with purple and white stitching.
The pop-art Minnie Mouse pattern is also available in a roomy tote bag. Covered in the same pebble-grained white leather and Minnie Mouse line drawings, the bag features a large outside zippered pocket for quick access to sunglasses, a phone or any other items you use with any regularity.
On the reverse side is a full view of Minnie Mouse. The handles are of rich black leather and the bottom of the bag has just a hint of purple leather peeking out from the edge.
The collection also features a crossbody bag with a generous black leather strap.
Similar to the backpack, the crossbody version also features a large outside zipped pocket – with a black and purple leather pull tab – to store small items. The Dooney & Bourke logo is embossed in a gold-plated metal plate and framed by black leather. It also includes a black leather “Disney” embossed tag.
The pattern runs all across the back of the bag. The leather straps are attached with gold toned metal swivel hooks and D rings.
The roomy interior is lined in contrasting fuchsia fabric.

Traveling to Disney World during Hurricane season can bring its own set of complications, and with Hurricane Ian set to potentially impact Florida, you’ll need to be prepared.
Dark clouds over Tower of Terror
We’ve been watching for updates on the storm for the past several days and now we have some important news you need to know about if you’re heading to the Most Magical Place on Earth this week.
According to the National Weather Service — Melbourne — as of the 11AM update, tropical storm watches have been issued for parts of central Florida. That includes both counties within which Disney World is located — Orange County, FL, and Osceola County, FL.

The National Weather Service notes that concerns about river flooding are increasing. They share that “Residents should aim to complete preparations by Tuesday night.”
Hurricane Ian is expected to be a major hurricane as it approaches Florida this week. It is expected to bring heavy rainfall (which is what leads to those flooding concerns), and there is a potential for (near) sustained tropical storm force winds for areas north of I-4.

The earliest arrival of tropical storm force winds is expected to be Tuesday night, and there is an increasing chance for tornados beginning Tuesday night.
The Weather Service has said that the situation is somewhat favorable for tornados, so individuals should plan accordingly by setting up their emergency plans, knowing where to go if their shelter is vulnerable to tornados, and being ready to act quickly if needed.

The weather service points out that this Tropical Storm Watch issuance means that tropical-storm-force winds are possible within the next 48 hours. What impacts could this bring to those in the area? The Weather Service lists these specific potential impacts:

They note that you should prepare for dangerous wind and take steps to protect against wind damage. The peak rainfall amounts according to the latest forecast could be an additional 4-8 inches with some higher amounts locally.

Okay Disney, come on…we’re all waiting!
Fantasmic billboard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Since the parks reopened in 2020, we’ve seen the slow return of our favorite restaurants, resorts, and entertainment options all around the resort. But even now, there are still a few things we’re waiting on…including the return of the beloved nighttime show Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney announced at the end of last year that Fantasmic! would reopen at Hollywood Studios in 2022, but we don’t yet have a specific date for when that will happen. A few weeks ago, it was revealed that cast rehearsals had begun for the show, so we’re getting more excited by the day. And now we’ve got a peek inside the theater!

Twitter user @bioreconstruct shared an aerial view of the amphitheater where the show takes place. Many months ago, this area was drained and under construction. Now, the water is back and the stage setup looks ready to go! We can’t wait to watch the performers take the stage again soon.

When the show reopens, it’s getting a bit of a facelift. An entire segment of the show is being replaced and updated with new animation, characters, and more. We’re interested to check out the changes.
Stay tuned to DFB for more updates on the reopenings and returning offerings in Disney World. We’ve recently seen some changes as character meals return to normal and restaurants reopen. Besides those things, we’ve also got new additions coming soon, including restaurants, rides, and an entire park transformation at EPCOT. We’ll be sharing the news on all of it!
