Details are sketchy, but sources have told us the event will take place at 12:30 pm &#8211; 1:30 pm by the Disney Store location and will involve <em>virtual</em> appearances by Mickey Mouse and some of his friends.</p><p>We believe the event may be tied to a proper launch of the <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disney-parks-memories-iphone-app-18479/">Disney Memories</a> app that was recently released (and subsequently pulled within hours) on the Apple App Store. Perhaps the app may have been released prematurely, as Disney Parks later activated a site for the app at <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/external/DPARKAPP_COM/18520/2">DPARKAPP.COM</a> which goes to a page designed for mobile devices and directs visitors to either the App Store or the Droid Marketplace for the app (at this time, the Droid link goes to the Radio Disney app). Part of its functionality, the app allows the user to unlock special content at Disney Store Times Square.</p><p>Additionally, Disney Parks has established another mobile site at <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/external/DisneyMemoriesNYC_com/18520/3">DisneyMemoriesNYC.com</a> which appears to allow online visitors to take a photo with an app and contribute it, a suggestion that it may offer some element of interactivity with the giant Disney Store LCD screen above the store.</p><p>We will update as more information becomes available to us.</p><p>UPDATE #1: 11/17/11 &#8211; The Disney Parks blog has <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/external/announced/18520/4">announced</a> that the event will be an open event on Friday and Saturday and involves using the Disney Store Times Square&#8217;s electronic billboard to allow guests to interact with it.</p><p>We&#8217;ll be checking it out first thing tomorrow morning and will have more details then.</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-parks-memories-times-square-event-18520/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-parks-memories-times-square-event-18520/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-parks-memories-times-square-event-18520/&title=Disney Parks to Host &#8216;Disney Memories&#8217; Event in Times Square, November 19">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-store/" rel="tag">Disney Store</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/events/" rel="tag">Events</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/let-the-memories-begin/" rel="tag">Let the Memories Begin</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/nyc/" rel="tag">NYC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/times-square/" rel="tag">Times Square</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-parks-memories-times-square-event-18520/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Justin Bieber Joins Lady Gaga in Times Square on New Year&#8217;s Eve</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-justin-bieber-lady-gaga-new-years-times-square-18119/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-justin-bieber-lady-gaga-new-years-times-square-18119/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:17:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New Year's Eve]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NYC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NYE]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.stitchkingdom.com/?p=18119</guid> <description><![CDATA[Recording artist Justin Bieber will perform live in Times Square on &#8220;Dick Clark&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Rockin&#8217; Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2012,&#8221; Saturday, December 31 on the ABC Television Network.

To celebrate one of the most talked about shows of the season, ABC will give fans an opportunity to look and feel like an &#8220;Angel&#8221; for the day, in the heart of New York. The all-day event taking place on Wednesday, September 21, in New York&#8217;s Military Island from 6:00 a.m. &#8211; 6:00 p.m., will bring a taste of Charlie&#8217;s Angels Miami Townsend Agency. Professional makeup artists on hand will offer up quick mini-makeovers with Covergirl products to transform passersby into fearless, glamorous &#8220;Angels.&#8221; Once each alluring transformation is complete, event goers can strike their best &#8220;Angels&#8221; pose and have their photo taken in a selection of scenes that will appear on the large jumbotron in the middle of Times Square. Participants will receive a branded photo in addition to having their big screen image emailed to them to share with friends and family. &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels&#8221; premieres Thursday, September 22 at 8:00 pm ET/PT on ABC.</p><p>Everyone deserves a second chance &#8212; even a thief, a street racer and a cop who got in a little too deep. After all, the three women who solve cases for their elusive boss, Charlie Townsend, are no saints. They&#8217;re angels&#8230;Charlie&#8217;s Angels. &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels&#8221; stars Annie Ilonzeh (&#8220;General Hospital&#8221;) as Kate Prince, Minka Kelly (&#8220;Parenthood,&#8221; &#8220;Friday Night Lights&#8221;) as Eve French, Rachael Taylor (&#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221;) as Abby Sampson and Ramon Rodriguez (&#8220;The Wire,&#8221; &#8220;Daybreak&#8221;) as John Bosley.</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-charlies-angels-offer-covergirl-angel-minimakeovers-times-square-sept-21-17816/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-charlies-angels-offer-covergirl-angel-minimakeovers-times-square-sept-21-17816/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-charlies-angels-offer-covergirl-angel-minimakeovers-times-square-sept-21-17816/&title=ABC&#8217;s &#8216;Charlie&#8217;s Angels&#8217; to Offer Covergirl &#8216;Angel&#8217; Mini-Makeovers in Times Square Sept. 21">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/abc/" rel="tag">ABC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/charlies-angels/" rel="tag">Charlie's Angels</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/events/" rel="tag">Events</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/nyc/" rel="tag">NYC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/times-square/" rel="tag">Times Square</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-charlies-angels-offer-covergirl-angel-minimakeovers-times-square-sept-21-17816/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Photos/Videos: Disney Delivers Princesses, &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; and Muppets to Fashion&#8217;s Night Out</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-store-pan-am-muppets-piggy-fno-17699/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-store-pan-am-muppets-piggy-fno-17699/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:03:20 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Merchandise]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ABC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clothing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Store]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fashion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fashion's Night Out]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FNO]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Muppets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NYC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pan Am]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.stitchkingdom.com/?p=17699</guid> <description><![CDATA[With exception to the Fashion Week-long &#8216;In-Flight Experience&#8216; from ABC&#8217;s &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; which we shared yesterday, last night&#8217;s epic third annual Fashion&#8217;s Night Out event had me running cabbing uptown and downtown, east side and west side throughout Manhattan in an attempt to catch everything I could Disney.

From Disney Store, who participated for the first time, to Lisa Perry hosting &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; to Opening Ceremony&#8217;s Muppet X collection with Miss Piggy, it was all one huge thrill ride of &#8216;E Ticket&#8217; proportions (bad airline/Disney theme park double entendre-intended).</p><p>It all began at Disney Store who kicked off its &#8216;Stylish Ever After&#8217; event at 4 pm, a couple of hours ahead of most. Being the first year Disney Store has had a presence in Manhattan since Fashion&#8217;s Night Out was created, it was especially poised for the event given that its just a handful of Disney Stores around the world to offer some of the fashionably chic items such as the Kidada for Disney collection, featuring the Wish-A-Little figurines and charms. At the event, princesses of all ages were treated to a free mini-manicure courtesy of the Disney Princess Designer Collection nail polish and a first look at the next fragrance from Disney Store, the Tinker Bell-inspired &#8216;Pixie Dust&#8217; which also happens to play host to the company&#8217;s first eau de toilette. Not only were guests able to sample the fragrance, but they were even able to purchase the collection ahead of its release later this year.</p><p>The artist behind the incredibly popular Disney Princess Designer collection, Steve Thompson, was also on hand at the event, signing limited edition lithographs as a gift with purchase.</p><p>Meanwhile, at the Kidada for Disney Charm Bar, guests were able to piece together their own customized charm bracelets from the unique collection. Making their Disney Store debut were the newest entries into Kidada Jones&#8217; Wish-A-Little line, Ariel, Jasmine, Alice and Tinker Bell. The bad news is those who haven&#8217;t yet had the chance to purchase the newest additions will have to wait until their release on September 18 at those Disney Store locations that carry the Kidada for Disney line and September 19 online at DisneyStore.com. The good news, however, is that <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/external/The_Buzz/17699/2">The Buzz</a>, the official Disney Store blog, wants to bring some magic to guests at home, so they are giving away a set of the four new Wish-A-Littles to one lucky reader, but you best hurry as you&#8217;ll only have until Sunday, September 11 to enter.</p><p>Below is our gallery of images from the Disney Store &#8216;Stylish Ever After&#8217; Fashion&#8217;s Night Out event.

Still, despite the change in flight plans, stewardesses could be found trekking in perfect formation between Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center, where they were handing out official &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; track bags along with the occasional coveted &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; Explorer bag to the fortunate few who found a &#8216;boarding pass&#8217; in their track bag.</p><p>The special &#8216;In-Flight Experience&#8217; beverage service will continue on at Columbus Circle through Saturday, September 10 and has an ETA at its original destination in Lincoln Center on Monday, September 12. While not guaranteed, hours of operation are as follows: September 10 from 8:00 am &#8211; 11 am, September 12 from 7:30 am &#8211; noon, September 13 from 8 am &#8211; 1 pm and September 14 from 9 am &#8211; noon.</p><p>Below is our gallery of photos from this morning&#8217;s event.

Beginning September 2, bus shelters in the West Hollywood area in Los Angeles and in front of Grand Central in New York City &#8212; among other locations &#8211; will be transformed into eye catching museum-displays exhibiting the custom-tailored jacket that gave the stewardesses a streamlined, sexy look, the perfectly-fitted white gloves that left no room for a wedding ring, the black leather, low-heeled pumps that provided comfort without compromising style, and the &#8220;Pan Am&#8221; blue leather flight bag, which was the perfect bag to carry belongings for a night out on any town they might have just flown into. Topping off this iconic uniform is the always-in-place classic hat. The displays will promote ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Pan Am,&#8221; one of the highly anticipated new dramas of the fall season.</p><p>Scheduled locations, among others, are:</p><p>Fairfax and Santa Monica in Los Angeles<br /> 42nd St. between Lexington &amp; 3rd Ave in New York City</p><p>Passion, adventure and espionage&#8230; They do it all &#8211; and they do it at 30,000 feet. The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in a thrilling and highly original new series, &#8220;Pan Am,&#8221; premiering SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. &#8220;Pan Am&#8221; stars Christina Ricci (&#8220;Penelope&#8221;) as Maggie, Margot Robbie (&#8220;Neighbours&#8221;) as Laura, Michael Mosley (&#8220;Justified&#8221;) as Ted, Mike Vogel (&#8220;The Help,&#8221; &#8220;Blue Valentine&#8221;) as Dean, Karine Vanasse (&#8220;Polytechnique&#8221;) as Colette, and Kelli Garner (&#8220;Going the Distance&#8221;) as Kate.</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-pan-am-showcase-fashions-york-los-angeles-starting-september-2-17614/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-pan-am-showcase-fashions-york-los-angeles-starting-september-2-17614/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-pan-am-showcase-fashions-york-los-angeles-starting-september-2-17614/&title=ABC&#8217;s &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; to Showcase Fashions in New York, Los Angeles Starting September 2">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/abc/" rel="tag">ABC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/events/" rel="tag">Events</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/la/" rel="tag">LA</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/los-angeles/" rel="tag">Los Angeles</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york/" rel="tag">New York</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/nyc/" rel="tag">NYC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/pan-am/" rel="tag">Pan Am</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abcs-pan-am-showcase-fashions-york-los-angeles-starting-september-2-17614/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>ABC Seeks &#8216;Revenge&#8217; on New Yorkers, September 1-3</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-seeks-revenge-yorkers-september-13-17608/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-seeks-revenge-yorkers-september-13-17608/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 01 Sep 2011 20:14:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ABC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NYC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Revenge]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.stitchkingdom.com/?p=17608</guid> <description><![CDATA[City dwellers trekking to the Hamptons this Labor Day Weekend will be able to soak up more than just some sun.

The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in a thrilling and highly original new series, “Pan Am,” premiering Sunday, September 25, on the ABC Television Network. “Pan Am” stars Christina Ricci (“Penelope”) as Maggie, Margot Robbie (“Neighbours”) as Laura, Michael Mosley (“Justified”) as Ted, Karine Vanasse (“Polytechnique”) as Colette, Mike Vogel (“The Help,” “Blue Valentine”) as Dean and Kelli Garner (“Going the Distance”) as Kate. Series creator Jack Orman (“ER,” “Men of a Certain Age,”), Thomas Schlamme (“The West Wing,” “Parenthood,” “Mr. Sunshine”) and Nancy Hult Ganis (“Akeelah and the Bee”) are executive producers. Orman also wrote the pilot, with Schlamme directing. “Pan Am” is produced by Jack Orman Productions, Out of the Blue Entertainment and Shoe Money Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-bring-pan-am-inflight-experience-york-city-september-8-14-17519/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-bring-pan-am-inflight-experience-york-city-september-8-14-17519/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-bring-pan-am-inflight-experience-york-city-september-8-14-17519/&title=ABC to Bring &#8216;Pan Am&#8217; &#8216;In-Flight Experience&#8217; to New York City, September 8 &#8211; 14">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/abc/" rel="tag">ABC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/events/" rel="tag">Events</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/pan-am/" rel="tag">Pan Am</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-abc-bring-pan-am-inflight-experience-york-city-september-8-14-17519/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Report: &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217; Challenges New York City</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-expedition-impossible-times-square-new-york-16649/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-expedition-impossible-times-square-new-york-16649/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 23 Jun 2011 12:09:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ABC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Expedition Impossible]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stitchkingdom.com/?p=16649</guid> <description><![CDATA[New Yorkers have the opportunity to get a taste of Morocco today as ABC brings a taste of its latest reality competition, &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217; to the Big Apple.

In the heart of Times Square, a few challenges and lots of sand put folks to the test in the quest to receive the greatest rewards of all: self gratification and a free &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217; water bottle.</p><p>There are three separate challenges in all and you only need to complete one to claim your prize. In the &#8216;Coconut Tree Climb Challenge,&#8217; participants scale their way up a 30&#8242; foot tall palm tree, while in the &#8216;Moroccan Mind Challenge,&#8217; participants compete to solve a jigsaw puzzle with a deep message and, lastly, the &#8216;Excavation Impossible Challenge&#8217; which allows participants to dig for items buried in mounds of sand with the potential of winning the opportunity to get an up close look at the &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217; Ford Explorer.</p><p>Along with the challenges is the opportunity to receive a free green screen photo with your choice of background and several sand sculptures being created on site, promoting the show.</p><p>Hosted by Dave Salmoni and featuring high adventure and human drama, &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217;  follows 13 teams of 3, racing in a fun expedition across vast deserts,  over snow capped mountains and through raging rivers in the beautifully  exotic, fabled kingdom of Morocco. Each week a new stage of the  expedition will be revealed to the teams. Will they crumble under the  pressure of having to think clearly in the wilds of the great outdoors,  or will they find a way to work together to complete their adventures?  And if one person quits, the entire team is eliminated. After 10  stunning legs of competition with drama, comedy and great characters,  one team will cross the finish line first to claim victory.  Each  winning team member will receive $50,000 ($150,000 total for the team)  as well a new Ford Explorer.</p><p>The &#8216;Expedition Impossible&#8217; challenge continues on throughout the day at Military Island in Times Square through 6pm tonight. The series premieres tonight on ABC at 9pm ET/PT, during which time creator/producer Mark Burnett will live tweet at <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MarkBurnettTV">@MarkBurnettTV</a> for the east coast airing, while ABC.com will host a live chat party which will include Burnett&#8217;s tweets as well as allow viewers to interact with each other beginning at 9 pm ET and ending with the west coast feed at 1 am ET.

To kick off the reality show&#8217;s premiere, ABC will erect a sand dune in the iconic New York location and construct multiple physical challenges on Thursday, June 23, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., ET. &#8220;Expedition Impossible&#8221; premieres Thursday, June 23 at 9:00 pm ET on the ABC Television Network.</p><p>Just as teams of ordinary people on the television show will be doing the extraordinary in the biggest adventure of their lives, Times Square passersby will have a unique opportunity to participate in fun and games through a number of challenges promoting team competition. The Times Square event will reflect the same physical and mental nature of &#8220;Expedition Impossible&#8221; through highly visual and interactive means. Upon entering the event area, spectators will receive a &#8220;passport&#8221; that they can get stamped after completing each challenge, redeemable at the Expedition Rewards tent for a customized &#8220;Expedition Impossible&#8221; water bottle (while supplies last).</p><p>Excavation Impossible, a challenge made possible by the new Ford Explorer, will give participants a fun and entertaining opportunity to dig around in the sand, competing as a team, and interact with the new 2011 Ford Explorer.</p><p>Additionally, event goers can opt to take a personal challenge by harnessing up and strapping-in for an expedition up one of the three 30-ft palm trees at the Coconut Tree Climb. The Moroccan Mind Challenge will require teams to think quickly and use snap judgment in order to be the fastest team to construct a customized &#8220;Expedition Impossible&#8221; puzzle. Plus, those who feel like traveling to the desert or visiting a Moroccan city can visit the Expedition Images photo tent and choose from a variety of sceneries, courtesy of a green screen. Visitors will receive a branded photo directing them to <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/external/www_expeditionimpossibleonabc_com/16597/1">www.expeditionimpossibleonabc.com</a>, where they can download their photos and share their adventurous day with friends and family.</p><p>About &#8220;Expedition Impossible&#8221;<br /> From creator and executive producer Mark Burnett comes high adventure and human drama in ABC&#8217;s new summer series, &#8220;Expedition Impossible.&#8221; The show features 13 teams of 3 who will push themselves to the limit racing in an expedition across vast deserts, over snow-capped mountains and through raging rivers in the beautifully exotic, fabled Kingdom of Morocco. Each week, a new stage of the expedition will be revealed to the teams. Will they crumble under the pressure of having to think clearly in the great outdoors, or find a way to work together to complete the expedition?

Within the past couple of weeks, these items have been moved to the upper floor while the first floor undergoes a complete renovation.</p><p>Up until May 16, the upper floor has and will remain open for guests to visit and experience the retail location, but the shop will have to close for a period of 10 days beginning on May 16, with a grand re-opening scheduled for May 27. The reason for this complete closure, as explained to us by a store manager, is that no guests can be allowed inside the premesis during the painting process. The upper floor is not expected to be altered in any way.</p><p>Knowledge of the closure and changes by store cast members appeared to be limited at best, but those who appear to be aware of the changes are expecting a spectacular overhaul of the lower floor when it re-opens.</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disney-store-times-square-close-temporarily-renovations-16088/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disney-store-times-square-close-temporarily-renovations-16088/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disney-store-times-square-close-temporarily-renovations-16088/&title=Disney Store Times Square to Close Temporarily in May for Renovations">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-store/" rel="tag">Disney Store</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/merchandise/" rel="tag">Merchandise</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/nyc/" rel="tag">NYC</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/refurbishments/" rel="tag">Refurbishments</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/refurbs/" rel="tag">Refurbs</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/rehabs/" rel="tag">Rehabs</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/tds/" rel="tag">TDS</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/times-square/" rel="tag">Times Square</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disney-store-times-square-close-temporarily-renovations-16088/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>CONFIRMED: Disney to Set Sail from New York, Galveston and Seattle in 2012; Bookings Start April 8</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:05:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Disney Cruise Line]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DCL]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Dream]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Fantasy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Magic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Wonder]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Galveston]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Seattle]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stitchkingdom.com/?p=15506</guid> <description><![CDATA[Ahead of a scheduled announcement from Disney Cruise Line in New York City on April 6 in which Disney is expected to make its itinerary plans known for 2012, a purported press release has been leaked and already making waves by offering up all of the juicy details.

Meanwhile, the Disney Wonder, which will continue sailings out of the port of Los Angeles, will also be sailing out of Seattle.</p><p>For New York, the Disney Magic will sail a total of 20 cruises, including eight-night cruises to the Bahamas, five-night cruises to Canada and two-night cruises at sea.</p><p>The eight eight-night Bahamas cruises (5/25, 6/2, 6/22, 6/30, 7/20, 7/28, 8/17, 8/25) will include a day at Castaway Cay, Nassau and a stop at Port Canaveral. Reportedly, as part of the Port Canaveral stop, each guest will receive a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket with roundtrip transportation between their Disney ship and the resort. Rates start at $1,240 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.</p><p>The nine five-night cruises up the New England coast (6/10, 6/17, 7/8, 7/15, 8/5, 8/12, 9/2, 9/7, 9/12) will call at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Saint John, New Brunswick. In these popular Canadian ports, guests can soak in splendid natural vistas, explore historic sites, visit quaint cafes and charming shops, and browse Canada’s oldest farmer’s market. Rates start at $715 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.</p><p></p><p>Three two-night cruises (6/15, 7/13, 8/10) out of New York are perfect for families looking for a quick getaway with a day at sea over a weekend. Rates for the new two-night cruises start at $370 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.</p><p>Beginning in September, the Disney Magic will sail twelve seven-night cruises (9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, 11/17, 11/24, 12/1, 12/8) from the Port of Galveston to the Western Caribbean. Ports of call include Grand Cayman and Mexico’s Costa Maya and Cozumel with three days at sea. Rates start at $840 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.</p><p>Prior to the arrival of the Disney Fantasy, the Magic will sail out of Port Canaveral on seven-night Caribbean itineraries and four- and five-night Bahamian cruises.</p><p><strong>DISNEY WONDER (SEATTLE, LOS ANGELES)</strong><br</p><hr /><p><small>© Stitch Kingdom for <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com">StitchKingdom.com</a>, 2011. | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/#comments">No comment</a> | Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/&title=CONFIRMED: Disney to Set Sail from New York, Galveston and Seattle in 2012; Bookings Start April 8">del.icio.us</a> <br/> Post tags: <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/dcl/" rel="tag">DCL</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-dream/" rel="tag">Disney Dream</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-fantasy/" rel="tag">Disney Fantasy</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-magic/" rel="tag">Disney Magic</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/disney-wonder/" rel="tag">Disney Wonder</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/galveston/" rel="tag">Galveston</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/new-york-city/" rel="tag">New York City</a>, <a href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/seattle/" rel="tag">Seattle</a><br/> </small></p><p><small>Feed enhanced by <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/'>Better Feed</a> from <a href='http://planetozh.com/blog/'>Ozh</a></small></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-set-sail-york-galveston-seattle-2012-bookings-start-april-8-15506/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Report: Disney Store Times Square (NYC) Soft Opening and Merchandise; D23 Event with Jodi Benson</title><link>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-store-times-square-nyc-soft-opening-d23-event-jodi-benson-13088/</link> <comments>http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-report-disney-store-times-square-nyc-soft-opening-d23-event-jodi-benson-13088/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:44:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Stitch Kingdom</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[D23 Expo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Merchandise]]></category> <category><![CDATA[D23]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disney Store]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New York City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Times Square]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stitchkingdom.com/?p=13088</guid> <description><![CDATA[DISNEY STORE TIMES SQUARE HAS NOW OPENED!

With the store operating in soft mode since last Thursday, Disney Store President Jim Fielding was on-hand to celebrate with the Disney D23 members as was Jodi Benson, the voice of <em>The Little Mermaid&#8217;s</em> Ariel and<em> Toy Story 3</em>&#8216;s Barbie.</p><p>With check-in for the event commencing at 7:30 am sharp, guests were ushered into the lower level of the store which features a combination of New York City-themed merchandise, exclusive to the Disney Store Times Square location, as well as seasonal Disney Store merchandise and that aimed towards an older demographic, but more on that later. At the event&#8217;s official start time of 8 am, guests were invited to journey upstairs to the more &#8216;traditional&#8217; &#8216;Imagination Park&#8217; concept store which is where Fielding addressed the crowd from the store&#8217;s gazebo which serves as the 350 square foot Disney Store Theater.</p><a class="highslide img_40" href="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/gallery/disneystore_timessquare_d23/img_2308.jpg" title=""   onclick="return hs.expand(this)"> <img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.stitchkingdom.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/cache/1769__160x120_img_2308.jpg" alt="1769  160x120 img 2308 Report: Disney Store Times Square (NYC) Soft Opening and Merchandise; D23 Event with Jodi Benson " title="Disney Store President Jim Fielding" /> </a><p>Fielding talked about the store&#8217;s genesis in August of 2008 and how when he first saw the location at 1540 Broadway, former home to the world&#8217;s largest Virgin Megastore, he knew he had to have the space. According to Fielding, it took nearly a year for Disney Store to obtain the lease for the store because the space was in such high demand. He spoke of the nearly 250 cast members, some of which had returned to the company, it took to conduct interviews, hire and train new staff for the store which maintains 24 hour shifts to keep the store in tip-top shape. Although the store is open until Midnight most days, Fielding noted that they have had to keep running the store to 1 am due to large groups of guests still remaining inside. He mentioned that by year-end, they will have opened 19 of the new concept stores with an expected 30 &#8211; 40 in 2011, including two in Canada (but declined to identify where specifically). Surprisingly, the most profitable store worldwide is the Paris on the Champs-Élysées store according to Fielding, but he joked that the Times Square store calls Paris daily to make sure they&#8217;re beating them.</p><p>Of course Fielding spoke to the store itself, which consists of two floors, although the Virgin Megastore it partially replaced was four.
