Introducing... A Blended Royal Family
One of our favorite things about this show is that when Sofia's mom Miranda marries the King, they become a blended family. Sofia gets a whole new family, new step-siblings a brother and sister, James and Amber, who also happen to be twins. Sophia also gets a step-father, King Roland II.
Want to know little known fact about Disney Sisters? There is a Disney Brother!!!!!
Well, he's our brother, our stepbrother actually. Our parents got divorced when we were kids and remarried making our family a blended family too, just like Sophia's. We have a stepparent and a stepsibling. It can be challenging while everyone gets used to all new members of the family and the change in dynamic, but it can also be rewarding like getting bonus members of a family. We are happy that Disney is integrating the blended family into one of their shows. It will definitely help children who are living with steps relate to the story. Another little known fact, the youngest Disney Sister Jessica, is a Stepmom with 3 stepkids.

Willingham is also the voice of Thor on Disney XD's "Ultimate Spider-Man" and plays The Hulk and The Human Torch in The Hub's animated series, "The Super Hero Squad Show."

Starting today the Club Penguin Halloween Party begins with The Haunted Mansion at Disney taking over Club Penguin and 9 creepy rooms to discover. The island is overrun by ghosts and it's up to players to protect it by becoming ghost hunters! First, players must find the Ghost Goggles hidden in the haunted mansion to be able to see the ghosts they are hunting, next find the Ghost Lab. There are cool costumes, spook-tacular scavenger hunts and an Igloo Contest! Some very lucky players will be able to interact with Gary the Gadget Guy during the Halloween party, helping him solve the mystery of his great uncle Gariwald's disappearance.
Club Penguin is more than a club of penguins and puffles, it's the #1 virtual world for children. Our kids love to play Disney games online. As parents, we love that Club Penguin keeps the online environment safe by using live moderators!
