I went to buy a few Disney gift cards for our upcoming trip. We enjoy having a few different cards, the kids each have a different design, then we have a different design for food, then one for souvenirs, etc. Well, those days might be gone. 

Disney no longer offers the huge collection of gift card designs. They have two to pick from now. Two. Standard Mickey, and Frozen 2. 

Disappointed, I wrote, asking what happened and "To improve efficiency and an overall better experience, we recently updated our gift card vendor, which did result in the decline in available designs. "

I'm not sure how it improves anyone's experience to no longer have dozens of card designs to pick from, but I suppose it does improve the efficiency, on their end. 

​RIP Gift card designs! And if you are lucky enough to still have some of your old cards, might want to save them! 

As expected, Disney + is filled with so much nostalgia. An absolute gem are some of the movies, like Frank and Ollie, but also this little gem from 1966. Aired three days after Walt's passing, join him as he takes you around Disneyland. The fist episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color is available, and an absolute treat to watch. 

If you don't have Disney +, I did find this on Youtube, for you to enjoy.

It's not too late to check out the great Christmas movies and shows on Disney Plus! While they aren't all gathered together in one place, you'll find a few dozen movies and specials, as well as dozens of holiday episodes! Browse your favorite show, pick out the holiday episodes, and while you are there, check out the movie Noelle if you haven't. They had me as she walked across the hidden Mickey's in the floor!

The Character meet and greet of Sorcerer Mickey, and Red Carpet Minnie might be my favorite, simply because of the incredible details in with Mickey. Look at these amazing details, and then tell me what your favorite meet and greet is! 

The digital sign at the end of It's a Small World interests me. While I've never seen it flash the names of anyone in our family, I have seen it say other names, Rachel, Jeff, etc. I wonder how it works! We have been several times both with and without a fastpass. Have you ever seen your name appear on the digital sign? How does this magical device work?
