California Here I Come!

If you noticed my Facebook status you might know that I have been so excited that I thought I would burst. For almost a week I have been driving my coworkers crazy singing “California here I come”. Wondering why? The awesome folks at Disney (and I don’t say that because of this news, I say that because my family LOVES all things Disney) have invited me to see a screening of the upcoming movie Tinker Bell And The Great Fairy Rescue. I’m not talking about any ordinary screening, I’m talking about a trip to the Disney Toon Studios and two days in Burbank, California! This Jersey girl has never been to a studio, Disney Land, or even California for that matter so I am super excited. Check out the fun itinerary they’ve lined up for us!

Wednesday, August 25th

• Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue screening on the Disney Studio lot
• Dinner at TBD Location

Thursday, August 26th

• Intimate tour of Disney Toon Studios to learn about the making of Tinker Bell & the Great Fairy Rescue
• Lunch with filmmakers Bradley Raymond and Helen Kalafatic
• Presentation of Tinker Bell consumer product lines & Disney Fairies website
• Beauty and the Beast Ballroom dancing lessons (bonus feature demo stations)
• Afternoon Tea with the voice of Beauty & the Beast’s Belle, Paige O’Hara
• Cocktail reception/dinner with special film talent including Producer, Don Hahn

Doesn’t that sound like a blast? I am so excited. I really enjoyed the last Tinker Bell movie and can’t wait to see this one, which releases to DVD/BluRay on September 21. I can’t wait to hear from the folks behind the movie. I’m looking forward to tea with Paige, the voice of Beauty And The Beast’s Belle even though I’ve actually never seen Beauty And The Beast – it’s one of the few Disney movies that I missed seeing. It’s releasing to DVD/BluRay in October so it looks like I’ll finally get my chance to see it. Seeing the new product lines should be exciting, since I’m betting there will be some items that are sure to appear on little girl’s Christmas lists. Ballroom dancing lessons? What can I say – it sounds like a lot of fun! And in case all that isn’t enough, after we finish in Burbank my Mom and I are heading to Anaheim, so I can go to Disney Land!

In case you noticed, Tinker Bell is a big deal. Who doesn’t love Tinker Bell?! I remember growing up we had family movie night on Sundays and I always got most excited when Tinker Bell appeared on screen – it sort of made it official. Well, apparently lots of people feel the same way since next month Tinker Bell is getting her own star on Hollywood Blvd. How cool!

Whoohoo! I have to try and get some sleep now, but that’s going to be difficult since I’m so excited I feel like I’ve had about thirty cups of coffee. Talk to you soon!
