Show Your Love With These Disney Themed Gifts

Show Your Love With These Disney Themed Gifts

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and love is in the air! For some of us, that panic might be setting in about “what gift do I get my wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance?” If your significant other happens to be a Disney lover, then you’re in luck!

Here are some great Disney Theme Gift Ideas:

Photo Gifts: Put together a Disney Scrapbook full of Disney trip pictures, old Fastpasses, and other trinkets you’ve picked up along the way! Disney scrapbooking supplies can be found at most local craft store chains, and this is a gift you can really personalize and make unique. Should you not be the crafty scrapbooking type, fear not – you can always make a photo album or even just a framed Disney trip photo would make a perfect gift – and you can even order some Disney Frames or Albums straight from the Mouse himself

Disney Eats: Disney Food is the best, no doubt about that! Luckily there are ways you can recreate some of that deliciousness at home – like by recreating your significant others favorite Disney restaurant meal using recipes from a Disney Cookbook. If none of those look appetizing or you don’t have time to order the book, then make use of that Mickey Mouse cookie cutter you bought last time you were at Disney World and whip up your honey’s favorite cookie recipe. Don’t have a Mickey cookie cutter? Then freehand some Mickey shaped pancakes for a breakfast that is sure to make them smile (the best thing about the pancakes is you can eat your misshapen ‘mistakes’ along the way)

Parents & Preschoolers will love the All-New Mickey Mote

Parents & Preschoolers will love the All New Mickey Mote

This coming holiday, parents and their preschoolers will discover a whole new way to watch and play their favorite Disney preschool DVDs, with the all-new “Mickey Mote”. This one-of-a-kind, kid’s remote control, from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, will debut this November 16th packed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Number Roundup and Handy Manny: Big Construction Job.

The new “Mickey Mote” is a child-friendly handheld remote control, shaped like Mickey ears, that will take children’s viewing experience to a whole new level by providing an engaging interaction with their favorite Disney characters. With multiple levels of play, the new Mickey Mote will provide hours of fun, engaging and challenging adventures for kids age 2-5. The Mickey Mote is a value for moms and fun for kids!

How It Works:

The Mickey Mote works with any Disney Preschool DVD that includes Discovery Mode™, the interactive “Watch & Play” feature on the DVD! All parents have to do is program the remote control – there’s an easy and quick set-up guide in each DVD- and select the Discovery Mode feature on the menu screen. Within minutes, kids will be easily responding to questions, throughout the story, about scenes they just watched (such as “What color is Goofy’s hat?”) by pressing one of four color-coded buttons on the device — a yellow star, green circle, orange triangle or blue square – to click in their responses. Discovery Mode features include two levels of play, which provides more challenging questions as the child grows.

Why Parents Will Love It:
Once families have purchased a Disney Preschool DVD that comes packaged with the Mickey Mote, they can continue to build their Disney Preschool libraries as the Mickey Mote works in compatibility with any Discovery Mode enhanced DVD. For example, kids can immediately use the remote with any of the following titles:

* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Road Rally
* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Adventures in Wonderland
* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Choo Choo
* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Bow-Tique
* Handy Manny: Manny’s Motorcycle Adventure
* Handy Manny: Manny’s Big Race
* Little Einsteins: Fire Truck Blast Off
* My Friends Tigger & Pooh: Super Duper Super Sleuths
* My Friends Tigger & Pooh: Bedtime With Pooh

Note: Discovery Mode can also be played using any DVD remote control.
Look for more Discovery Mode DVDs on future Disney Preschool franchise releases such as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny!

‘Epic Mickey’ Could Eventually Be Multiplatform After All

Epic Mickey Could Eventually Be Multiplatform After All

MTV talks about Disney’s Epic Mickey making the Multiplatform jump. Although after reading the article Disney does not really say that would be the case. They said in the future, does that mean future Disney games or Epic Mickey future? Check out the article and you decide:

Just because Disney and Junction Point decided to make “Epic Mickey” exclusive to the Wii doesn’t mean they might not change their minds and take it to other systems in the future. A multiplatform approach had been considered before Warren Spector convinced Disney to avoid the 360 and PS3, and as of right now that’s still the official plan. After the initial launch, however, anything is possible.

“We have a very large audience base that has Wiis in their home”, Disney exec Steve Wadsworth explained out at DICE 2010, according to Gamasutra. “That’s not to say that we won’t go to other platforms [in the future].”
