Just before Walt Disney World temporarily closed its gates in March, a new backpack arrived that Haunted Mansion fans will love. With Magic Kingdom now reopened we found this Dooney and Bourke Haunted Mansion Backpack inside Main Street Jewelers. It has a black base with jewel tone colors. Beloved scenes and characters from Haunted Mansion in a cartoon interpretative style make up the pattern.

Donney and Bourke is actually one of the few designer bags I care about. I have a Disney Cruise Line crossbody bag from a decade ago that I wear regularly and it is still in fantastic condition. So keep that in mind when you see the enormous $318.00 price tag for this backpack.
It does not appear this Dooney and Bourke Haunted Mansion Backpack is available online. Are you dying to get your hands on this designer backpack?
WOO-HOO! Today is Ice Cream Day – although many of us feel that every day should be Ice Cream Day!
In honor of this very special occasion, we have a recipe for you to make at home – the refreshing Island Navigator (made with ice cream, of course!) from our friends at Disney Cruise Line.

Spring may have come and gone already ( that was fast right?), but there is a new collection from Vera Bradley that has spring up inside Main Street Jewelers at Magic Kingdom that has a lovely spring motif to it.
This Disney garden style collection from Vera Bradley is full of bright and bold color as is the signature of this designer. A pale aqua blue base provides a lovely contrast to the bold pink and orange flowers. Retro style Mickey and Minnie Mouse appear in different gleeful poses, including Minnie with a watering can tending to the flowers.
A wrislet, backpack, crossbody bag, and two different styles of tote bags are available. You can browse the full collection on shopDisney.

As you make your paper version of Sleeping Beauty Castle using scissors, glue and other simple supplies, feel free to use your imagination to add new elements and proportion your castle as you envision it. The activity sheets even include fireworks!
As a reminder, we recommend printing the sheets at their actual size for best results, not scaling them to fit the page. We also recommend adult participation or supervision for those with little ones.
We look forward to releasing more printable, 3D activity sheets of Disney Paper Parks, designed by talented Imagineers Amy Young and Stephanie Jazmines for the Disney Parks Blog. Share how your Disney Paper Parks are coming together with the hashtag #DisneyMagicMoments!

After a short break Around the Universe returns! This week we look at changes in Volcano Bay, construction around CityWalk and Islands of Adventure, hotel dining credit offers, discounts, and attractions closed due to COVID-19.
News and Construction
The Bourne Stuntacular is now open! The show brings to life a Bourne movie with moving sets, live actors, and a 130-foot-long, high-tech screen. Shows run every 45 minutes from park opening until closing. For showtimes, visit the Universal Orlando website.
Volcano Bay’s Punga Racers reopened this week. Previously the slide was a mat slide into a splash-down. Shortly after opening the slide had its maximum weight to 200 lbs and then to 150 lbs due to the designed splash down being too short. The new Punga Racers ditch the mat and are now a body slide with new splash downs. With the new design the weight limit goes up to 300 lbs.

Construction in CityWalk on the old Fossil, Piq, and Island Trading Company stores continues. The old store locations are gutted and work is progressing on the exteriors. Universal remains mum on what is coming but a leading rumor points to a relocated and expanded Universal Studios Store.
Over in Islands of Adventure, the unannounced Jurassic Park coaster recently hit a milestone when the tallest point of the ride was completed. The topping off of the coaster occurred July 8 with the installation of the top hat element. Construction continues with the rest of the coaster, ride building, and outdoor theming with an expected opening in 2021.
