  • Walt Disney World shows off First Ever Disney Villains Inspired Wedding Gowns

    2024 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection from Allure Bridals includes Four Disney Villains Inspired Gowns available starting today. They’re some of Disney’s most popular characters, and now Disney Villains’ characters inspire new gowns that are part of the 2024 Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings collection from Allure Bridals. Blending sophisticated style and touches of whimsy, the dresses are inspired by Disney’s Ursula, Maleficent, the evil Queen and Jafar. The new dresses are as versatile as they are romantic, each evoking themes from beloved Disney stories and highlighting iconic details and colorful accents from each of the Disney Villains’ character’s looks. All four styles are available now and come in either a black or ivory colorway, starting at $2,000. The gown inspired by Disney’s Ursula features a mermaid silhouette adorned with tonal sparkle beadwork on the bodice. Emulating Disney’s Ursula’s dramatic flair, the gown is available in ivory or black, with detachable sheer sleeves that boast ruffled detailing at the cuffs. Embodying the essence of Disney’s Maleficent, brides can opt for a fitted sheath gown in black and green. The gown is embellished with shimmering green velvet and delicate lace appliques, layered over black organza. Alternatively, the ivory version offers chiffon lace accents for a softer touch. Inspired by the Disney Villain from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the evil Queen-inspired gown is adorned with linear lace, 3D floral embellishments, beads, and sequins delicately scattered over tulle. The sheath silhouette features a sweetheart neckline leading into a peaked bodice, complemented by eye-catching embroidery. Available in black, ivory, or gold, the gown is completed with a wrapped ruffle shawl for added elegance. Befitting a grand vizier of Agrabah, the gown inspired by Disney’s Jafar is offered in either a subtle ivory or a bold black. It features a plunging neckline reminiscent of Disney’s Jafar’s notable collar, accentuated by a satin collar of its own. Adding a touch of sophistication, the bodice is tailored with a nod to menswear and paired with lightly puffed full-length sleeves with buttoned cuffs. 2024 Disney Princess-inspired Gown Collection The 2024 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection also includes gowns inspired by Disney Princess characters – Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Snow White and Tiana. Each dress evokes the spirit of its namesake with a blend of elegance and fun. The 18 gowns, two for each princess character, are adorned with countless details and feature innovative fabrics, including a signature sparkle tulle on a Jasmine-inspired gown and a laser-cut whimsical lace design on soft satin to adorn a Rapunzel-inspired style. A Disney Cinderella-inspired ballgown offers a unique platinum colorway, with metallic-backed Chantilly lace and unique beaded lace appliques. For those looking to capture the spirit of the Jazz Age, the Disney Tiana-inspired look emphasizes a glamorous style, shimmering with thousands of beads and sequins. Disney and Allure Bridals launched their first sophisticated bridal line in 2020, offering stunning, on-trend gowns that showcase the style and spirit of beloved Disney Princess characters. Four years later, Allure Bridals offers options that can transform a bride’s look, such as the detachable overskirts available on a selection of gowns. In addition, the Disney Aurora and Tiana gowns both feature detachable sleeves for a chic, transitional option from aisle to reception. With exquisite details such as ethereal puff sleeves and dreamy accessories like custom veils and delicate tulle flowers, this new Disney collection offers many style options for brides. The Disney Princess inspired bridal gowns are available in sizes 0 to 30, starting at $1,799, and are available to purchase at all authorized Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection retailers.

  • At Last! After 4 Year hiatus, 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to reopen in April

    Great news from Walt Disney World as the resort has finally announced the reopening of iconic restaurant, 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! The much loved character dining buffet location, 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, has been in a state of limbo since it closed in March 2020 together with the entire Walt Disney World Resort due to COVID-19, and while the rest of the resort has slowly returned to normal, 1900 Park Fare remained shuttered, until now that is! Today, we have an exciting update many of you have been waiting for: 1900 Park Fare is reopening at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on April 10. This iconic restaurant will feature returning guest favorites along with a newly refurbished dining room and other special touches. Here are five things to look forward to when you return: 1. Wish Upon a Star with Favorite Disney Characters A few familiar faces will stop by throughout breakfast and dinner — some for the first time at this location! In this refreshed character dining experience, you’ll be joined by Aladdin in his Prince Ali look, Cinderella, Mirabel and Tiana in her new look for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure as they celebrate the power of a wish. 2. Enjoy a Feast Fit for Royalty An enchanting buffet will be served for breakfast and dinner, featuring some returning guest favorites — yes, that includes the strawberry soup! — along with new menu offerings dreamed up by Disney's talented chefs to pay tribute to some of the characters and stories you’ll encounter throughout the restaurant. 3. Look for Nods to the Restaurant’s Heritage Fans of 1900 Park Fare will remember Big Bertha, an antique organ that has called the resort home since 1988. Look for her in the main dining room, where she’s on display as its grand centerpiece! Just like before, carousel theming is woven throughout the restaurant — starting with the impressive new mural shown above, which will serve as the focal point of the restaurant’s entrance. In one of the adjoining dining rooms, you’ll find drawings of carousel animals inspired by classic Disney films like “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Little Mermaid.” Keep an eye out for other hidden carousel details when you visit! 4. Delight in Exclusive New Artwork The artistic touches continue throughout the main dining room, where you’ll also find twelve new portraits created exclusively for the restaurant by Disney artists. Each one, inspired by the impressionist art style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, features a different Disney character as they hope, dream and wish upon a star (or even a magic lamp or a wishing well). 5. Celebrate Traditions and Create New Ones Over the years, 1900 Park Fare has been the backdrop of so many guests favorite vacation memories! At the heart of this unique restaurant is the magic and whimsy of turn-of-the-century gardens and fairgrounds, where people of all ages came together to enjoy each other’s company. The spirit of those carefree days spent outdoors is brought to life with each detail big and small, making it the perfect place to create new memories with loved ones. Reservations for 1900 Park Fare open on March 5 at DisneyWorld.com, so mark your calendars! While you’re there, explore other ways the resort has been receiving some grand touches that build upon its Victorian elegance with additional storybook charm. While staying in one of the newly refurbished guest rooms, you can also dine underneath the lovely London sky at Cítricos, inspired by “Mary Poppins Returns” or enjoy some shimmering sips at Enchanted Rose Lounge, inspired by “Beauty and the Beast.” Recently refreshed spaces at Narcoossee’s and Victoria & Albert’s, the culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort, provide even more ways to be our guests and enjoy all that Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has to offer. There’s even more to come as we continue to refresh and enhance Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and we can’t wait to share more with you in the future.

  • Sonny’s BBQ Celebrates Orlando Students for Random Acts of Kindness Week

    The Winter Park based barbecue franchise Sonny's will be honoring students who exemplify selflessness and kindness with surprise BBQ celebrations as part of their Random Acts of BBQ: Student Edition Program. In honor of Random Acts of Kindness Week, Winter Park based chain Sonny’s BBQ will be surprising students from several Orlando schools with free food. The Random Acts of BBQ: Student Edition program celebrates students who consistently go out of their way to spread kindness to those around them. Throughout January, participating schools including Orlando's Bay Lake Elementary, Oakshire Elementary School, and Memorial Middle School have been awarding Sonny’s BBQ gift cards to students they observe performing acts of kindness towards fellow students, friends, teachers and staff, by sharing these moments with Sonny’s BBQ’s Kindness Crew for consideration. The Kindness Crew is a group of passionate Sonny’s BBQ team members dedicated to spreading kindness and helping others, all under the leadership of our Chief Kindness Officer, Tara Boyle. During Random Acts of Kindness Week, the Kindness Crew will select winners from each school and surprise their entire class with a special BBQ celebration. “It is such a privilege to celebrate this holiday once again and, for the very first time, to highlight some amazing students who are making a difference in their classroom and community,” says Tara Boyle, Sonny’s BBQ’s Chief Kindness Officer. “We care so deeply about spreading kindness, and the stories that have been shared about these students are truly remarkable. We cannot wait to have the opportunity to highlight their selflessness and to honor them with some BBQ!” Random Acts of Kindness Week will take place February 13 - 19, 2024, with Random Acts of Kindness Day occurring on Saturday, February 17. The holiday encourages people to undertake random acts of kindness in their communities, celebrating those dedicated to making a difference who often go unrecognized for their efforts. Sonny’s BBQ has celebrated the week with various philanthropic efforts for the past seven years, making it a foundational part of the company’s mission to foster kindness and community. As a part of this year’s Random Acts of Kindness Week, the Sonny’s BBQ team also partnered with Blessings in a Backpack, an organization dedicated to fighting child hunger by providing food on the weekends for kids in need, to pack over 1,000 bags for students in central Florida and donating $1,000 to the cause. Sonny’s BBQ is committed to spreading the spirit of BBQ and making a difference in the communities they serve. Surprising guests, coworkers and community members with Random Acts of BBQ is the company’s way of recognizing those who make a difference—special individuals who selflessly give their time, talents and effort to their communities.
