‘Hocus Pocus’ Apparel Returns to Disney Parks Online Store from September 5-11, 2016

I'm thrilled to announce the return of "Hocus Pocus"-inspired apparel to the Disney Parks online store. These limited release items will be offered from September 5-11, 2016 at http://ift.tt/1slf1HV.

Last year, we introduced three costume T-shirts that resemble the Sanderson Sisters' outfits. Disney Design Group artist Richard Terpstra used high-resolution images of the actual dresses from the live-action film to design the T-shirts.

This year, we are releasing those T-shirts again for guests who may have missed them. Please note that this year's styles are printed on T-shirts with a more generous fit than last year's T-shirts.

For the first time, we are introducing a costume T-shirt inspired by the character William "Billy" Butcherson.

Finally, we will offer a new graphic T-shirt and hooded sweatshirt with artwork created by Disney Design Group artist Cortney Williams. The artwork features dialogue and iconic elements from the film.

These apparel items will only be released via the online store for a limited time. Please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery.

We will, however, have additional items inspired the Sanderson Sisters and the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Show at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom Park. See this Disney Parks Blog Unboxed video for a preview.

Disney Cruise Line Music Playlist

If you're like me, hearing certain songs brings you right back to special memories. That's why I'm so excited about the brand-new Disney Cruise Line playlist added to Spotify. The next best thing to going on a Disney cruise is recalling the incredible memories you made together as a family during your last Disney Cruise Line vacation. And what better way to do that than by listening to classic songs from Disney films?

The complimentary Disney Cruise Line Playlist on Spotify is a comprehensive collection representing some of the most iconic hits from Disney's musical legacy. It includes both timeless tunes and modern reworkings of old favorites by contemporary artists. There's no doubt you heard many of these songs on your Disney cruise in our stage shows and deck parties – or just walking down the hallway!

Listening to this playlist is sure to put a smile on your face—and keep you whistling while you work. You just need to have or create a Spotify account to enjoy it. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Disney Doodle: The ‘Rescuers’ Aboard Kilimanjaro Safaris

In the 1990 film, "The Rescuers Down Under," Bernard, Bianca and their new feathered friend Wilbur fly all the way to Australia to attempt a rescue mission for a boy kidnapped while protecting an eagle from a poacher. No doubt these friends would want to see the great conservation work that goes on at Disney's Animal Kingdom – and what better attraction to experience that than the Kilimanjaro Safaris?
