Hello Yellow! This is Nana, I hope you guys are having a fantasmic week so far! Guess what! It’s Halloween! Can you believe it? I’ve been doing Halloween since August, so I’m ready for Christmas. Even Buc-ee’s was prepared for Christmas. I went there last Saturday and Sunday…
I’ll share more holiday Buc-ee’s merchandise at the end… I know our readers love Buc-ee’s too. (to be honest, who doesn’t?)
So, I started off at World of Disney where more Christmas merchandise dropped. Ahh! Christmas.
World of Disney Holiday Merchandise
I’m sure you guys saw the main post about holiday merchandise. So I’ll just pick some holiday merchandise I like… If you haven’t checked, please check them out and send them to your partner, spouse, or parents so they can get you a Christmas gift!
Purchase-with-Purchase Chip ‘n’ Dale Tote – $24.99
I love Chip and Dale… They don’t get much spotlight all the time but they did this year! This is a good size bag for the beach (yes, we go to the beach in winter because it’s Florida), as a diaper bag, or anything!
Santa Stitch Purse – $34.99
There is no way I can resist this… But also I don’t know where to bring him… The selling point is that you can take off his Santa hat so you can use it in the summer too. I need reasons to buy him… Because I am a proud Disney adult who know how to do Disney math. (Not the actual math, I am Japanese but not good at math. )
Cookie Jar – $59.99
I collect Cookie Jars and popcorn buckets. I still remember my mom bought a Dalmatian cookie jar when we went to Disneyland… and she brought it back to Japan. So the cookie jar collection is in our blood for sure. This cookie jar is so pretty, but seasonal… I’m having a hard time not buying it. But the reality is I do not have a space for him to decorate… Because I bought a Star Wars Weekend Chip and Dale figure/case for $70 from Lakeland Antique Mall…. It is not in perfect condition, but I loved Star Wars Weekend and have special memories.
I have more to write, so this is it from World of Disney Holiday Merchandise. If you want to read more about the holiday merchandise, you can read them here.
Next, I drove to Disney’s BoardWalk…
DVC Halloween Meet & Treat
I do not know how many times I’ve come to BoardWalk this month… But today, I am here for the DVC Halloween Meet & Treat!
This year, they had astronaut Donald (from Hollywood and Vine back in 2018), Pumpkin Duffy (from EPCOT back in 2012), Jack, and Sally. I waited for like maybe 15 minutes for Duffy which never happened in Tokyo DisneySea. I met Duffy at the Wine and Dine marathon after party and Christmas season last year. I am looking forward to meeting him this year’s Wine and Dine marathon afterparty and Christmas season at Hollywood Studios again!
Time to go work at Hollywood Studios.
Heller from Hollywood Studios
Where’s Waldo? Can you find him?
The French map has made it back to the map stand…
I am happy for the French people. We (Japanese) got cut off with French and German back in June. They were counting how many maps were distributed from June. I guess French was one of the popular ones. I even tweeted in Japanese to Japanese followers to get their maps so Disney can count and it will go back to the map stand. I guess my tweets did not go out enough to make a difference. This is my concern right, most of us (Japanese) won’t speak English, like 0 English but love Disney. How can they go ask GR about the map? I write some “example English” in my tweets so they can just show it to cast members… but I am not Tom, people don’t know me.
Side note, their Japanese translation is so off but I enjoy reading them. Tokyo Disney Resort is no longer giving out paper maps since COVID, so the Japanese love to bring back some when they come here.
When you see red and white candy in the Christmas section, what flavor do you think?
Peppermints, right??
CHERRY!!! WHY?!?!? WHY?!?! To me, it’s a crime. I love peppermint and Christmas is the peppermint season… but Disney chose cherry over peppermint.
No Holiday decorations in Echo Lake yet. From November 1st, I will run 4 parks/day and some resorts to get holiday decorations. I hope our lord Figment will be with me.
By the Muppets, Stage 1 got some Christmas lights for Jollywood!
They must be ready soon since they are doing a Cast Member preview.
They were also doing something at the building across the street from Muppet*Vision.
You can see the windows are open… Maybe adding some lights or projections?
Rise of the Resistance is still doing single-rider!
Vi was hiding from the first order… Can you find her?
No new droid parts still; we are so behind. Hoping to get them soon!
Woody’s Lunch Box temporary seating area got their high chairs back!
Walked through busy Toy Story Land and found this at Market.
PUMPKIN SPICE FLAVORED POPCORN! I am too scared to try… but maybe one day, I will review it.
At Voyage of the Little Mermaid, the backdrop is getting worse and worse… it’s bad show, no? I know they submitted a permit so why don’t they take them away at this point?
At the old Studio Store, they put some stickers over the windows and doors so we can’t peep into them. But it seems like they are using as storage for now… This used to be the store where they sold Duffy’s costume. I miss those old days.
Did you pick your outfit for Halloween? Well, Disney’s got you!
You can wear Crocs and a backpack and be good to go! Not cheap, but they’ll still be useful after Halloween.
This is so Florida. The rain started but nobody is using an umbrella.
There was nothing new at Tower Gift Shop nor Rock around the shop. No change to Racing Academy.
I had to go to the office after this to drop off the Dinosaur plush from DinoLand, so I got myself a Starbie!
Yes, this was the mission I was talking about in the last Nana’s Disney Princess Diary.
Okay! This was my day! It was a decently long day… but I enjoyed walking and running under the sun.
Here is Buc-ee’s Christmas merchandise that I promised in the beginning.
I HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANYTHING YET… But highly consider buying the green crewneck…
Well, I hope you enjoyed Nana’s Disney Princess Diary! Happy Halloween to everybody and will see you real soon!
