We do not go to the movies often, but I was eager to see Aladdin when it came out.  I was nervous because I’m a huge fan of Robin Williams, but I have to say Will Smith put his own twist on the Genie and I really liked it!  The movie was very well done and has become my favorite “live-action” Disney movie.  I’m so excited that it will be available on Digital 8/27 and Blu-ray™ 9/10!  Not much longer to wait!

About the Movie:

Fans of all ages will enjoy the exciting, humorous tale of the lovable “street rat,” Aladdin (Mena Massoud), courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) and the larger-than-life Genie (Will Smith) with all-new bonus features. The release of the live-action adventure coincides with the addition of the original animated classic to the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection  —  granting “Aladdin” fans everywhere the opportunity to own both magical movies.

We were so busy earlier this year that I never made it to the theatre to see DUMBO!  I’m excited that I finally received word that we can bring DUMBO home on Digital, 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and Movies Anywhere Tuesday, June 25^th.   Not much longer to wait!

Synopsis:

Stunning extras will transport viewers to the set of “Dumbo,” where cast members Danny DeVito (circus owner Max Medici), Michael Keaton (opportunistic businessman V.A. Vandevere), Colin Farrell (war-veteran-turned-elephant-keeper Holt Farrier), Eva Green (stunning aerialist Colette Marchant), Nico Parker (Farrier’s daughter, Milly) and Finley Hobbins (Farrier’s son, Joe) share their personal stories of courage and character. Features explore how Disney’s timeless animated story was brought to life with an incredibly expressive, lovable, fully computer-generated baby elephant; the longtime collaboration of Burton, production designer Rick Heinrichs and costume designer Colleen Atwood, which resulted in jaw-dropping sets and costumes; and the creation of the visually colossal Dreamland parade sequence. Also included are nine deleted scenes, hidden and not-so-hidden Easter eggs, bloopers and a special performance of “Baby Mine” by Arcade Fire.

In “Dumbo,” struggling circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive but sinister entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, spectacular, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.

Woo hoo!  Summertime is here!  One of the best places to visit during the summer is the World of Coca-Cola attraction in Atlanta.  This summer,  the attraction is offering limited-time experiences to help fans make it their best – and possibly strangest – summer ever. Here are all the details on what not to miss:

 

1. Stranger Things Have Happened – Prepare for time travel. Netflix’s Stranger Things 3 debuts on July 4, throwing it back to the summer of 1985, when the most-talked-about brand of the year was Coca-Cola with its release of “New Coke.” To help transport fans into the series, Coca-Cola is bringing back a limited run of New Coke – yes, the actual recipe from 1985. In addition to CokeStore.com/1985, one of the only places fans will be able to get their hands on the nostalgic drink is World of Coca-Cola. On June 4, 5 and 6, the first 1,000 guests who buy full-price, general admission tickets on-site at the attraction will each receive a can of New Coke, while supplies last. Limited-edition apparel featuring Coke and Stranger Things branding will also be available in the Coca-Cola Store at World of Coca-Cola and on CokeStore.com/1985 starting May 24.
2. It’s the Real Thing – Remember the famous Coke slogan from 1969? 2019 marks 50 years since the introduction of “It’s the Real Thing,” and World of Coca-Cola is celebrating with a special exhibit. Retro ads, posters and swag will bring to life the iconic slogan that inspired pop songs from superstars of the day – we’re talking James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. The “It’s the Real Thing” installation in the Pop Culture Gallery is open now through spring 2020.  Want to bring the Real Thing home with you? An all-new, all-classic line of retail repping the iconic slogan is available in the Coca-Cola Store at World of Coca-Cola. This collection includes men’s and women’s tees, hats, a bag, a beach towel, a Tervis tumbler and a bottle opener.
3. Float Through Summer – Name a summer treat more classic than a Coke float. We’ll wait. June through August, World of Coca-Cola is putting a twist on the typical refreshment with a build-your-own float experience. For $9.95, guests will receive a 16-oz. souvenir cup, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and free reign of the Taste It! Beverage Lounge, where they can choose from more than 100 familiar and exotic beverages to create their float.
4. Keeping It Cool – Flavorful floats aren’t the only frozen fun at World of Coke this summer. Also in the Taste It! Beverage Lounge, a variety of slushie beverages will be available to help guests keep cool during the hottest months of the year. For $5, choose from flavors including Melon Frosty and Blue Raspberry.
5. Peel, Scan & Sip – Enjoy a Coca-Cola this summer and you could end up with free World of Coca-Cola tickets. Now through July 21, packaging for Coke, Coke Zero Sugar and Coke Flavors (Orange Vanilla, Cherry, etc.) will feature peel-off labels that turn into wearable wristbands. Each band displays an icon that fans can scan with their phones to potentially win exclusive experiences nationwide. In the Georgia area, a limited number of bottles and cans will unlock two free World of Coke tickets. You never know – uncapping your next Coke may mean unlocking your next weekend adventure.

My kids love reading Nancy Drew mysteries and they have been super excited about the new Nancy Drew movie!  Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase is available on Digital as of March 26, 2019 and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on April 2, 2019.

My kids really enjoyed watching this movie and are excited to watch it again.  It was suspenseful and kept their attention and they hope for more Nancy Drew movies in the future.  This movie had them guessing who was the “ghost” throughout the movie.

About the Movie:

The iconic mystery solving teenager from the classic Nancy Drew books is back with an all-new feature length film that will keep you guessing until the very end! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase on Digital starting March 26, 2019 and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on April 2, 2019. Executive Produced by Ellen DeGeneres, the film stars Sophia Lillis (IT and “Sharp Objects”), Sam Trammell (“True Blood” and “This is Us”), and Linda Lavin (“The Good Wife” and“Alice”) and follows Nancy Drew in her new town, making new friends and on a mission to solve the case! The film carries a suggested retail price of $19.99 for the Digital, $19.98 for the DVD and $28.98 for the Blu-ray Combo Pack.

After the death of his wife, Carson Drew decides to leave Chicago behind and make a fresh start with his daughter in River Heights. But for 16-year-old Nancy Drew, life in a small town is mighty dull. She longs for excitement, adventure, and the chance to make a difference. Nancy gets that opportunity when she is asked to help solve the ghostly activity at the Twin Elms mansion. Can she help explain the creaking footsteps, exploding lightbulbs and the ominous creature? Is it the handiwork of high-school bully Derek Barnes? Or is it possible that the ghost of original owner Malcolm Colfax is back for revenge? Recruiting her best friends George and Bess, along with local “mean girl” Helen, Nancy Drew is on the case!

Escape Room & Mystery Match:

Check out the fun little app below for Nancy Drew’s Escape Room and Mystery Match.  To escape, you must solve riddles and find items to uncover the three numbers needed to open to door.  Use your mouse to click + drag puzzle pieces to unlock clips from the film.  Have fun!

I’m in love with the fun new flamingo print available from Thirty-One Gifts!  Even better, it is available in their new Small Utility Tote size!  My friends at Thirty-One Gifts sent me a couple of the Flamingo items and I received compliments everywhere I took it this week during Spring Break!

The Small Utility Tote is the perfect size to grab a few things and go, without the bulk of the larger totes.  One day, we threw in a few sandwiches, bag of chips, paper plates, and fruit and it made the perfect picnic tote.  This is probably one of my favorite Thirty-One Gifts products ever!  In addition to being perfect for a picnic, it’s also just the right size to fit in the car and throw in things that I need to take with me.

The Small Utility Tote retails for $28 and comes in lots of fun colors, including Let’s Flamingle as shown above.  Measures approx. 11.75″H x 11.75″L x 9″W and is available for embroidery and monogramming.

Next up, we received a Cool Zip Snacker in Pink Flamingo.  The Cool Zip Snackers are food safe and reusable!  Simply hand wash and air dry between uses!  The thermal liner is great for keeping refrigerated items cool until snack time.

There are 5 designs of Cool Zip Snackers available, so you can also find this item in Crabby Claws, Mermaid Tail, Shark, and Unicorn.  They retail for $12.

Another great item that matches the Flamingo theme is this awesome Foldaway Tote in Pink Flamingo.  This awesome tote is perfect for carrying in your purse until needed.  I carry mine around for when I go grocery shopping.  It folds right up into a little sack for storage and doesn’t take up much space at all in my purse.  Retail is $18 and it is approx. 15.5″H x 17″L x .5″D.

You won’t go wrong with all these great flamingo prints!

Giveaway:

One lucky reader will win a Thirty-One Gifts Prize Pack!  This prize pack will include:

• Small Utility Tote – Let’s Flamingle
