A few days ago, we gave you a close-up look at the Disney Store exclusive Limited Edition Belle, the third in the series of collectible Disney Princess dolls. As a result of the phenomenal reception that received, we are pleased to bring you this close-up look at the Deluxe Limited Edition Belle dress that we first told you about during a Disney Store Holiday preview we attended in June.

Pictured along with the dress are the matching deluxe limited edition crown and shoes, each sold separately.

Where to Download Free Pumpkin Jack-o-Lantern Stencils – Disney, Muppets, Pixar and More
While there are plenty of commercially available Disney-themed pumpkin stencils, there’s still quite a few to be found online for free. Per a reader’s request, I’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of some (well, most) of the resources online in which you can download free Disney-themed stencils to create your own jack-o-lantern this Halloween.
Not surprisingly, I must confess that most of these resources you have probably seen before if you’ve gone hunting for them in the past. However, I do believe I’ve managed to throw in a few that may not be all that commonly known.
- Cartoon Jr – Tinker Bell, Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Hades, Captain Hook, Maleficent and links to more.
- Disney Family – Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Snow White, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh
- Pumpkin Glow Archive – Many Disney villains
- Huggies Happy Baby – Several Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty designs (Also download the Sleeping Beauty kit directly from Disney)
- Zombie Pumpkins (NOT FREE) – Bruce, Cinderella, Eeyore, Lightning McQueen, Maleficent Dragon, Mr. Incredible, Snow White, Stitch, Tigger. Also has some Muppets and Nightmare Before Christmas
- Masterpiece Pumpkins – Fab 5, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pixar, Winnie the Pooh
