 Limited Edition Walt Disney World Cinderella... from DisneyStore.com |  Disney Animators' Collection Jasmine Doll - 16'' from DisneyStore.com |  Disney Animators' Collection Belle Doll - 16'' from DisneyStore.com |
Disney Store today began launching its Cinderella Premiere Collection in honor of the diamond edition Cinderella blu-ray being released later this year. The showpiece of the collection, as has become recent tradition, is the gorgeous Limited Edition Cinderella doll, which is now available for pre-order to own on October 2, 2012.
Limited to just 5,000 dolls, the Cinderella doll includes a certificate of authenticity and features a satin bodice covered with rhinestones, full peplum with layers of tulle and organza detailed with rhinestones, ebony bead choker, opera gloves dotted with silver rhinestones and a glittering headband with hair clip. For more information or to pre-order the doll, click here.
While Disney Store has listed several more items (mostly ones we have previously shared having found at Disney Store Times Square some weeks ago), we had the opportunity earlier this year at a Disney Holiday Preview event sponsored by Disney Consumer Products to view a much larger portion of the collection including several pieces that have yet to be released.
In addition to fashion tees inspired by Cinderella and Prince Charming, as well as jewelry from Disney Couture, the collection will include a lobby card inspired-art on several items including a tote and change purse. In addition, as part of its 25th Anniversary, Disney Store will be releasing a very limited edition (just 250 pieces worldwide) replica of Cinderella’s glass slipper. Details on how the slipper will be sold are not yet available, but you’ll no doubt want to keep an eye out for it.
For girls, Disney Store will be releasing its coveted limited edition dress. The special edition dress which is known for often selling out quickly features a musical element via a charm necklace that plays ‘A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.’ Disney Store will also be re-issuing its Cinderella doll from the Animator’s Collection, this time complete with two dresses and accessories which include some animal friends. The bad news is that at this time, Cinderella is the only one to be getting the re-issue with the accessories, but the good news is Disney Store has designed respective sets for all of the princesses in the collection so they may end up producing and releasing them if this set is successful.
Also featured are very elegant tea service and place setting sets from Macy’s, inspired by Cinderella.
Below is a video recap of some of the collection from the special preview event.
Video: Pixar ‘Mail A Smile’ Postage Stamps Debut at Art of Animation Resort
Amid a sea of smiles, the U.S. Postal Service celebrated the issuance of 125 million new stamps today featuring popular Disney/Pixar characters. The Mail a Smile Forever stamps official First-Day-of-Issue dedication ceremony took place at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
Available nationwide today, all 125 million stamps can be purchased online at usps.com/shop, by calling 1-800-STAMP-24 (1-800-782-6724) or by visiting Post Offices.
“These delightful stamps lift spirits and touch hearts and remind us that when it comes to connecting with loved ones, technology is no match for the mail,” said Jo Ann Feindt, Postal Service Southern Area vice president, in dedicating the stamps as part of the resort’s grand opening.
Joining Feindt in dedicating the stamp featuring beloved Disney/Pixar characters was Jay Ward, legacy guardian for Pixar Animation Studios.
“We’re thrilled ‘to infinity and beyond’ that these popular characters from Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo and other great Disney/Pixar films are featured on these colorful new stamps,” said Ward. “This stamp issue will make posting a letter lots of fun for everyone in the family.”
Following up on Send a Hello stamps issued in 2011, the eagerly awaited Mail a Smile stamp sheet includes five different designs spotlighting:
- Flik and Dot from A Bug’s Life (1998);
- Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and Dashiell “Dash” Parr from The Incredibles (2004), with “Dash” also shown running in the background;
- Nemo and Squirt from Finding Nemo (2003);
- Woody, Bullseye, and Jessie from Toy Story 2 (1999); and
- Boo, Mike Wazowski, and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan from Monsters, Inc. (2001).
The back of the stamp sheet shows blue-pencil sketches of characters from these movies interspersed among text that exhorts readers to mail a smile to a loved one. Postal Service art director William Gicker of Washington, DC, worked with Disney/Pixar to design the stamp art.

Studios Central is reporting that Star Wars Weekends (weekends May 18 through June 10, 2012 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios) will be offering a ‘Carbon Freeze Me’ opportunity in which guests can be digitally scanned to produce a likeness of themselves frozen in carbonite.
The site reports the experience will be offered inside ‘Sounds Dangerous’ and will cost $99.95. The final product will be delivered via mail within 3 – 4 weeks.
No further details have been offered at present, but it’s quite likely the product will resemble the ‘Custom Carbonites‘ by Paul Pape Designs which replicate the personalized iconic image in plastic and Super Sculpey, as pictured here. Paul Pape Designs is not affiliated with the Star Wars Weekends experience at Walt Disney World, but is able to provide custom carbonite sculpts based on photos and is arguably cheaper, offering a 4 1/4″ long sculpt for $50′along with a 12″ long sculpt for $300 (at this time, the dimensions and materials for the Star Wars Weekend version is unknown). Pape also offers a couples version.
