 Mini Babybel®, the creamy, red-wax-wrapped cheese, has been named the Official Snack Cheese of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the Disneyland Resort in California and Disney Cruise Line. This announcement kicks off a multi-year strategic alliance between the two family-focused brands.

As part of the alliance, Mini Babybel will be prominently featured at a quick-service window within the new Toy Story Land scheduled to open in 2018 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. Because even toys need a bite or two every now and again, Andy has taken a vintage Woody-themed lunch box and propped it open with a thermos to turn it into Woody’s Lunch Box that dishes out all sorts of tasty meals and old-fashioned soda floats. He completed the area with a classic book and toys strewn about, along with items from his lunch box.

Disney’s collaboration with Mini Babybel provides appealing, on-the-go snack options for millions of families enjoying Disney’s U.S. parks and cruise ships each day. Both brands focus on fun and aim to surprise and delight their audiences; Mini Babybel with its delicious cheese and playful personality, and Disney Parks with magical moments that create lasting memories.

“At Bel Brands USA, we are all about sharing smiles and we are delighted to bring that to life through our alliance with Disney,” said Francis Perrin, chief marketing officer of Bel Brands USA, makers of Mini Babybel cheese. “We believe Mini Babybel makes snack time an adventure in deliciousness for the whole family every day and now we can share that fun and great taste with even more families as they enjoy adventures of their own at Disney Parks.”

Set to open in the summer of 2018, Toy Story Land will invite guests to step into the whimsical world of Pixar Animation Studios’ blockbuster films where playtime stretches longer than a Slinky® Dog. Guests will feel like they’ve shrunk to the size of a toy as they play in Andy’s backyard with their favorite Toy Story pals.

“We can’t wait for our guests to experience Toy Story Land, and the new quick-service window located within the land will surely delight hungry toys and people alike,” said Carlos Castro, vice president of Disney Corporate Alliances. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Mini Babybel and introduce additional snack offerings in Toy Story Land and throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort.”

Mini Babybel is 100% real cheese with a rich and creamy taste enjoyed by cheese lovers of all ages. Each round delivers at least four grams of protein, 15 percent of an individual’s daily calcium needs, and is playfully portable for lunchtime, snack time or anytime.

Disney Pixar CARS 3 is now available as a digital movie that can literally go where ever you go with Disney Movies Anywhere. The digital movie comes with the feature film and tons of bonus features. Of course we all love watching Lightening McQueen and the whole gang, but I especially enjoy all of the extras that are a part of the CARS 3 Digital Movie. In the Making Of extras, you will learn about the hilarious demolition derby scene and how that came to be. The production crew goes into great detail explaining how the story was developed and how it went from a racing movie to a mentor movie.  We all know what it feels like when that young person comes into the work place and seems to be better than us because they know the latest technology or techniques.  This is exactly what McQueen is feeling as the Next Gen High Tech Racers take over the track.  I am so entertained by the details that go into Pixar animation, so I was blown away by the bonus called World’s Fastest Billboard. That is my dream job now…to be part of the Pixar graphic design team.  Yes, most people don’t even notice all of their incredible work at first glance, but come on, where else can you design a car logo for Leakless Adult Drip Pans? I also love that they came up with a car dating service, they use the same insurance company that Bob Parr works at in The Incredibles, and there is even an ad on the porta-potty at the racetrack.  One of the graphic designers says you truly need to pause the movie to catch all of the amazing advertising in the Cars world.  Don’t miss this bonus! I also was a big fan of Cars to Die(Cast) For. Did you know there are around 1000 diecast Cars toys? These cars are designed at a 1/55th scale so there is room for every detail from the movie version. Did you also know that some of these toys are named after people that worked on the Cars movies? Yet another reason why I want to work for Pixar!  The CARS 3 Digital Movie also comes with Deleted Scenes, Behind the Scenes, Trailers and Shorts.  This is the perfect way to occupy your time while you are looking forward to for November 7, 2017 when the Blu-Ray is released. Disney Pixar CARS 3 digital movie is perfect for the kids on the go or for mom and dad when they are waiting for the kids to finish one of the many practices, rehearsals, or lessons that kids have today.  While you are waiting in the car, why not watch the CARS 3 Digital Movie?  You won’t be disappointed.

Meet the newest girl on the Disney Junior block in VAMPIRINA,now on DVD.  Vampirina, the vampire girl, is anxious to meet some human friends when she moves from Transylvania to Pennsylvania. She is nervous about fitting in and “acting human.”  This show is perfect for little ones who want to enjoy the Halloween season just like the big kids.  Vampirina’s spooky friends Gregoria the Gargoyle, Demi the Ghost and Wolfie the werewolf dog make it tricky for her to fit in, but Vampirina’s parents try their best.  I love the theme of not judging others just because they look different or have different backgrounds. Her friends like her even if she can change into a bat.  Vampirina is proud of who she is, and she loves her family even if they look different than the neighbors. The episodes have entertaining songs that will have little ones dancing and singing along.  This Disney Junior show is fun for everyone and will surely be a hit at your house.  Perhaps grown-ups can learn a little from Vampirina and her friends and get along with each other no matter what their differences are.  Fly on out to the store and pick up a copy of Disney’s VAMPIRINA. It is fang-tastic!
