A Magical Brew: Starbucks is Coming to Disneyland

Here's an equation for you Disneyland + Starbucks = A Magical Brew.

We've been really enjoying having our fancy Starbucks coffee while walking down Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park, check out this cute couple enjoying the evening there during Dapper Day 2013.

GOOD NEWS! 

Disney Parks Blog has just announced that Disneyland will also be adding a Starbucks. It will be built inside Market House and you can get yourself a Carmel Macchiato or whatever your favorite drink of choice is starting this fall. Just in time for all of those yummy holiday drinks... Pumpkin Spice Latte anyone?

Every time we go to Fiddler, Fifer and Practical Cafe there is a line, which is no different from any other location in the rest of the world. But by far, the best part about getting a coffee at the Happiest Place on Earth has to be the cups. They are personalized just for Disney! Tinker Bell, along with the Castle, Mickey, Minnie shapes (& more) are on the cup with a sprinkling of Pixie Dust! We think that a hot beverage tastes even better when drinken from these magical cups. (Proven fact amongst Disney Geeks) Market House closes next month, and when it reopens it will, "still be themed as a turn-of-the-century general store, serving Starbucks products and a selection of specialty Disney pastries" says Disney Parks. But there is a downside, since they will no longer be serving Disney branded coffee, they will no longer be offering free refills. As for us, we're just looking forward to ordering our "usuals."

Frankenweenie: Tim Burton's Latest Electrifying Film on DVD

One of my families favorite holiday movies is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Every time he makes a new film we are always intrigued to see it, it was no different with Frankenweenie.

Based on the old "Frankenstein" theme, part dog, part science experiment this movie comes to life when Victor an average boy in New Holland loses his dog and best friend, Sparky. (Warning: my 5 year old daughter cried and made me turn off the movie, because she was too sad after Sparky died to continue watching it. ~ Jess) When the town starts noticing that Sparky has been brought back to life, (by Victor) that's when the real monstrous adventure begins.  It's all shot in black and white, which was a different vibe and gives the viewer a different way to experience the emotions and textures. Tim Burton had said in an interview, "If the studio (Disney) had wanted it in color, he wouldn't have done it." Some of our favorite cast members include Martin Short, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara. The music composed by Burton's go-to guy Danny Elfman. With interesting new characters like Sparky, Victor, Persephone, Mr. Whiskers and Weird Girl it's bound to be a new cult classic.

Frankenweenie is now out on Blu-Ray and DVD if you'd like to add it to your collection. We'd be "Shocked" if you didn't, especially if you are a Tim Burton fan.

We have included two links to more "Franken" FUN for you and your family to enjoy:
