This collection will be sold online only at shopharveys.com. They will however be allowing for socially-distanced curbside pick-ups at their flagship store.

Donald Duck Harveys Collection

I am absolutely obsessed with Donald Duck, I honestly have Donald everything and he is one of my all-time favorite characters to DisneyBound. The first sneak peek revealed a print that features a very angry duck, which is honestly exactly how we love our feathered friend. There will be more prints, designs, and silhouettes to come, so be sure to follow along on Harvey’s Instagram as the release draws closer! I really hope we have something with Donald’s booty, I love the headband with his tail feathers!

Dana and Melanie Harvey will also be hosting a VHP (Virtual House Party) live on Sunday, July 5th at 5:00 PM PST to preview the new collection! I always love their lives on Instagram and Facebook, and I really suggest checking it out. They always have so much fun and tell you all the great stories behind the design of each piece.

Harvey’s collections do sell out quickly though, so be ready on time if you don’t want to be saying “aw phooey!”

What do you think of the new Donald Duck Harveys Collection?

Raise a glass as you enjoy the musical stylings of a pair of piano prodigies. No request is too obscure. These musical maestros can play anything. Well, almost anything. Go ahead—try to stump them!

Take your seat in front of a stage featuring twin baby grand pianos—and enjoy the show. The players take turns dazzling the audience with their showmanship and easy rapport. It’s a great time all around!

An Arizona Senator, Martha McSally, is hoping to reignite the tourism industry for the year 2020. They’re proposing a vacation tax credit that encourages Americans to travel within the United States.

The proposed bill is called the American TRIP Act. The acronym TRIP stands for “Tax Rebate and Incentive Program.” If passed, the bill would grant vacation tax credits up to $4,000 per American adult, or $8,000 per married couple, plus $500 for each dependent child. The tax credit could be applied to travel expenses such as transportation, lodging, food and beverage, and entertainment that occur between December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2022. However, you would be required to travel at least 50 miles from your primary residence and stay within the U.S. and its territories in order to qualify.

Of course, this isn’t the only vacation tax credit idea that’s currently being evaluated by policy makers. A few weeks ago, President Trump discussed the “Explore America Tax Credit”, which offers a different incentive. The Explore America Tax Credit offers up to $4,000 per U.S. household for vacation expenses spent in the U.S. at hotels, theme parks, restaurants and other tourism-related businesses through the end of 2021. This proposed tax credit would cover up to 50% of a family’s total vacation expenses, but the maximum amount is $4,000.

We’re waiting to see what kind of tourism-related tax credit, if any, gets approved by the government. So far both ideas are still in the infant stages of being considered. It’ll be worth watching to see what happens next since giving these proposed ideas would help our economy, too.

Tony Baxter is back at Splash Mountain!

The former Imagineer and Disney Legend will be back as a Creative Adviser in the team that will reimagine Splash Mountain to “The Princess and the Frog” theme at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and we couldn’t be more excited!

Tony Baxter was the one responsible for the design of Splash Mountain back in 1987 with a theme based on the 1946 classic “Song of the South.”

Did you know he actually came up with the idea in 1983 while he was stuck in traffic during rush hour?. I guess sometimes waiting in traffic is not that bad.

“The attraction will be one to be proud of” mentioned Tony. “I look forward to being a part of a new adventure in Disney magic and fun.”

Tony Baxter knows this attraction like no one else, so we are happy he is back on the project.

The redesign of Splash Mountain will be lead by Charita Carter, a Senior Creative Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering. 

“Like Princess Tiana, i believe that courage and love are the key ingredients for wonderful adventures. I am delight to be a part of bringing this fun-filled experience to our guests” said Carter.

As of know, there’s no set date for the start of this redesign or when the project will be completed but we are sure Disney will be releasing more details soon.

We can’t wait for this new theme and join Tiana in a magical journey around the Bayou!
