It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Who better to hear from then the two land lubbers who created Pirate Rock?

While at the D23 Expo we got a chance to meet and interview Lorne Hoskins and Kevin Hendrickson. (aka Sharky and Bones) These are the geniuses behind the music of Jake and the Never Land Pirates on Disney Channel's Disney Junior. You've heard their Jake and the Never Land Pirate Band music on Radio Disney and seen their music videos on the Disney Channel. What we discovered is they are just two great dads from Oregon, turned pirate rockers. Disney found them while looking for a sound for the show. We Disney Sisters love stories like that!

These awesome dads are super fun.... check them out!

Playing Kinect: Disneyland Adventures on Xbox 360

Are you a fan of Kinect for Xbox 360?    


Are you a fan of Disneyland?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, gather around as we share with you 3 exclusive videos of the Disney Sisters playing the new, (not yet released) 
"Kinect: Disneyland Adventures"

The Matterhorn

*Watch this video to hear the implication of a secret about the game that has not been released!

Alice In Wonderland

Big Thunder Mountain

Truth be told, one of us (clearing throat-Becky) was more than skeptical of a game of called Disneyland Adventures, to take place inside Disneyland! Ummm hello, that's a pretty tall order and has never even been attempted. I mean, to get it right you would have to love Disneyland so much that you would do everything you can to get it as close to the actual thing as possible. Well let me tell you, they do and they did! After only a few minutes of playing the game we were sold (both of us). The attention to detail is spot on!

The attention paid to detail I think, dare I say it? It would make Walt proud! Before creating this game Shane White, Head Producer on "Kinect: Disneyland Adventures" and his team met with imagineers to determine what the most important aspects of Disneyland are and spent countless hours researching Disneyland Park to create the best virtual  Disneyland experience possible. Things like character meet and greets, getting autographs from your favorite characters and taking pictures. Actually, if you listen to the first video of us playing the game you can hear Rob, lead game designer say: Our Sr. Producer is a huge Disneyland fan, he says
 "This game has to be a love letter to Walt."

While playing the game you can choose to visit the Swiss Alps and even encounter the Abominable Snowman on the Matterhorn Bobsleds; join a skipper on a wild adventure to see zebras, hippos and gorillas on the Jungle Cruise as well as navigate the waters of the bayou in new chapters of Pirates of the Caribbean, and no trip to Disneyland would be complete without going to see and hear macaws, toucans, orchids and totem poles singing in the Enchanted Tiki Room (Becky's favorite). Fans will also enjoy hearing the songs from attractions including "The Tiki Tiki Tiki  Room" and "Yo Ho (A Pirates's Life For Me)."

And a big Disney Sisters Shout Out to Justin Shady, read his article on the OCWEEKLY Blog.
We met while playing the game together, fun times.

“Kinect: Disneyland® Adventures” 
will be available on November 15, 2011... just in time for gift giving!

Disney Princess Designer Collection Dolls

Ladies and Gentlemen... 

Presenting the Disney Princess Designer Collection

Now exclusively at the Disney Store every Monday through October 24th one limited edition doll will be released and available for purchase. Disney has taken their dolls to a new level of excellence. The timelessness of 1950s-1960s glamour, with the high fashion modern edge of today.

This elegant new collection has been carefully crafted by Disney artists to re-imagine the magic and style of the classic Disney Princesses. Dolls included in the set of 10 are Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Snow White and Tiana.

Cinderella was the first Princess to be released. This past Monday it was Ariel. 

Who will be next? Can you guess?

Quantities are limited and edition size will vary. These limited edition dolls cost $59.50. Or can be bought as an entire set for $595.00. (For a very limited time) Each doll is sold in a special keepsake display case with intricate details on the base, including their name. They will also include a Certificate of Authenticity. One doll will be released each Monday, and the identification of the doll will not be disclosed until that day. The dolls are available ONLY in Disney Stores and online at the DisneyStore.com.

We got a chance to see these beauties at the D23 Expo, when they unveiled the collection and they are stunning! We love the great amount of detail on each doll. Cinderella carries a "coach" purse (pun intended), Snow White is holding a poisoned apple, Rapunzel has a mirror in her hand, Belle is holding her rose and Jasmine carries a magic lamp. We took photos to share with all of you. The entire collection of Princess Designer Dolls are on display now at your local Disney Store, but you can only buy the ones that have been released.

Be sure to look for matching Disney Princess accessories and home products including clothing, cosmetics, stationary and more.
