Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors Mickey Mote

May 13, 2011 By Momstart Leave a Comment

Are your kids ready for an outdoor adventure. Mine have been stuck indoors for MONTHS. You know in the Pacific Northwest it rains September through June, so since we have about a month left of rain we’re just going to have to live vicariously though Mickey Mouse. On May 24th Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is going to explore the Great Outdoors in, Mickey Mouse clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors. Mickey and his friends Donald, Daisy, Goofy and you can’t ever forget Pluto right are going camping fishing and exploring.

I suspect that after watching this it will be easier to get the kids to go on an “outdoor adventure”. This great title is another Mickey Mote title. The Mickey Mote is great for the kids to use and interact with the story. If you use the Mickey Mote setting it stops regular play and asks the kids a question and they need to respond the correct answer in order to continue the storyline.

The Episode list includes:

MICKEY’S GREAT OUTDOOR EPISODE LIST:

• Mickey’s Fish Story – Daisy wants to find a fishy-friend for her goldfish Goldy – and we help her find other goldfish in the Jungle where we’re aided by the mysterious conga drummin’ Jungle-Pete! Boom-boom-bap-boom!

• Mickey’s Camp Out - Today Mickey and his friends are going to earn Clubhouse “Camp Out Badges” by completing two tasks – setting up camp and fishing for Gummy Fish. Everyone’s planning to camp with a “Tent Buddy”, but Donald decides to camp by himself – and he soon learns that camping with friends is much more fun than camping by yourself.

• Mickey and Minnie’s Jungle Safari - Minnie is determined to snap a photo of the rare Hula Hibiscus that only blooms once a year. So the sensational gang go off on a jungle safari and explore new territory to find this legendary flower.

• Daisy in the Sky - On Balloon Day, Daisy grabs a large batch of balloons and gets literally carried away along with Minnie and Pluto, who couldn’t hold her down. Mickey, Donald and Goofy kick into high gear to save their friends: they use a Giant Candy Cane (to rescue Pluto), a Party Horn (to warn animals out of the way), a Piggy Bank (to weigh down one side of an elevator so that Mickey can reach the top of the lighthouse), and a Toy Hammer (to fix the Ferris wheel).

• Daisy’s Grasshopper - Daisy has a new pet grasshopper named Wilbur, but the playful hoppin’ fella hops away – and we help all our Clubhouse friends hop after him and find him before the end of the day. Boing-boing!

Valentine’s Day Gifts at the Disney Store Giveaway

February 13, 2011 By Momstart 277 Comments

Last week, I really needed to get out of the house so I took Miles to the mall. The first store I saw had dresses on sale for 7.99 and lower and I wanted to go in and they them on, well Miles had another idea. He wanted nothing to do with the dress store so we went walking in the mall. We walked past the Teddy Bear store (aka Build-a-Bear) and he had to go in. So, we went in there and I was ready to go. He didn’t want to leave, so I enticed him with words like Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and Cars 2. He said, ummm The Mickey Store?

Yes let’s go to the Disney Store…..

He jumped up so fast and said, let’s go mommy, come on!

We can’t have a family trip to the mall without visiting the Disney Store and what did we find, LOTS of cute stuff for Valentine’s Day.

Miles of course loved all of the Cars toys he found along with the new Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear plush. Can a kid have too many versions of Buzz and Jessie?

Mickey and Minnie Mouse are as cute as can be with these soft pie-eyes gazing out at you while holding a Valentine pouch that your loved one can put a special love note in for you to find. Valentine’s Day Mickey and Minnie Plush retail for 14.50. Dumbo can also be found in the Valentine’s Day plush set holding his own Valentine’s day pouch.

I love to drink coffee and I’m always looking at coffee mugs. So I was excited to see this pair of mugs for Mom and Dad with these Valentine’s Day Minnie and Mickey Mouse Mugs. By placing them side by side they create a picture with Mickey taking aim with Cupid’s arrow on one and Minnie is love-struck on the other. These are ceramic mugs that retail for 14.50.

Also merchandised for Valentine’s Day are Sweetheart Minnie and Mickey Mouse PJ Pal sets for girls and toddler girls. Each PJ set retails for 14.50. They are all-cotton and Disney authentic as they feature a pretty scallop-edged neckline accented with a satin bow. The contrasting cuffs and heart print pants make for pretty cute little girls PJ sets.

Dance Star Mickey Set To Shake Up The Holiday Season

October 31, 2010 By Momstart Leave a Comment

“This is a first for Mickey,” says Chris Byrne, content director for TimetoPlayMag.com, also known as The Toy Guy®. “Each year, Fisher-Price celebrates the holidays with an extraordinary plush toy that combines technical magic and classic play. This year, it’s Mickey’s turn, and he’ll be dancing his way into the hearts and imaginations of kids of all ages.”

With his exciting dance moves and fun interactive games, Dance Star Mickey is set to top holiday wish lists as he encourages children to get up, get active and dance! Featuring extraordinary dancing skills, Dance Star Mickey is packed with play that’s pure joy. At sneak previews this summer, Dance Star Mickey had kids – and their parents -up on their feet, grooving to Mickey’s moves in one big dance party.

“We are thrilled that Dance Star Mickey is now available to dance into the hearts of kids around the country,” said Gina Sirard, vice president, marketing, Fisher-Price. “It’s exciting to create a toy that can move like Dance Star Mickey – talking and interacting with kids, energetically waving and clapping his hands, and bouncing to each beat. It’s a truly engaging experience as this iconic character comes to life to create that special Disney magic that has resonated with children all over the world for generations."

With one press of his foot, Dance Star Mickey is revved up and ready to go on a fun and magical experience as he grooves to six different songs with styles including Disco, Latin, Techno, and an “out of this world” Moonwalk grand finale. He is also packed with interactive games that will have children and parents laughing and dancing right along.

“Dance Star Mickey truly captures the humor and endearing personality of this beloved character,” said Chris Heatherly, vice president of Disney Toys. “This dancing Mickey is the next generation of feature plush from Disney and Fisher-Price featuring the most innovative mechanisms to foster exceptional play value through endless singing and dancing entertainment for kids.”

The dancing Mickey made his debut last February at the American International Toy Fair as Dancing with the Stars champion Donny Osmond joined in to help announce this magical toy. This holiday season, the Disney pair reunites for a special commercial spot airing tonight during Dancing with the Stars.

For even more dancing fun, Fisher-Price and Disney have also created a highly-interactive online game at www.fisher-price.com/DanceStarMickey and free iPhone application that gives kids the chance to make up their own unique dance for Mickey by mixing-and-matching his individual dance moves in specific sequences of their own creation. And what would a dance-off be without celebrity judges? Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy sit at the judges’ table to rate each dance on a scale of 1 – 10. Kids are encouraged to play again and again to find just the right combination of dance moves to earn that perfect 10!

Available at major retailers and The Disney Store, Dance Star Mickey is for ages 2 years and up and retails for $69.99. For more information please visit www.Fisher-Price.com/DanceStarMickey.
