Whimsy, Nostalgia, and a Bit of Disney Magic

The last of our fun-filled, lay-by-the-pool days are almost over (despite the fact that our weather says otherwise), so I thought I’d break out our brand new snow cone machine for some frozen fairy fun! In honor of Disney’s latest release, Secret of the Wings, we cooled off with this easy, delicious, and surprisingly healthy-ish  snow cone recipe:

 Periwinkle’s Blueberry Pixie Frost

1 cup honey

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Boil all ingredients for 5 minutes. Strain and chill before pouring over crushed ice. Top with blueberries!

Secret of the Wings is a brand new CG-animated film slated to be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on October 23rd, 2012.  The film stars Tinker Bell and her fairy friends, who’s adventures lead them into the mysterious Winter Woods.

Next week, I’m heading up to LA to preview the film, along with Cinderella, which will be released in a Blu-ray Diamond Edition Collection on October 2nd, 2012, and the theatrical release of Finding Nemo 3D on September 14th, 2012. During our time in the city of film and lights, we’ll head back to Disney California Adventure Park to tour the Animation Building (sweet!), take a sketch class, interview “Crush” from Finding Nemo, and meet Tinker Bell and her sister Periwinkle. We’ll also get an opportunity to really delve into Secret of the Wings through interviews with the filmmakers and a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made. One of the unique experiences I’m really looking forward to is a visit to Sephora’s Cinderella Transformation Lounge.

Myself, along with 20-ish other bloggers will be tweeting and posting real-time updates throughout the event. You can follow along here:  #DisneyInHomeBloggers
