Quick: What does C stand for on the period table?
If we’re talking about the real periodic table that you learned about in high school chemistry class, then the answer is carbon. But if we’re talking about Disney’s awesome new Periodic Table of Disney, then of course the answer is Cinderella.
Let me start by saying that my expectations weren’t very high when it came to Into the Woods. My only experience with the musical was my daughter’s 5th grade middle school production a few years back. She was fabulous dwarf! Now that I have watched Disney’s Into the Woods on Blu-Ray, I realized that she was, in fact, a write-in part for the junior edition. I also realized that the story does, indeed, make sense! Things were a little vague in the middle school show. The feature film version was amazing. The story was one of adventure and humor and suspense with a little romance thrown in for good measure. First off, I knew Johnny Depp had a part as the Big Bad Wolf so, being that I am a groupie, I was fully committed. Next, Meryl Streep cannot do anything wrong in the acting world so I knew her part as the witch would be outstanding. She did not disappoint. Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, James Corden and the kids, Daniel Huttlestone and Lilla Crawford, rounded out the cast as Cinderella, the baker’s wife, the baker, Jack (of beanstalk fame) and Little Red Riding Hood. Into the Woods is a fairy tale mash up that takes the classic stories to a new level. Usually we find these stories ending with “happily ever after.” Not to be a spoiler, but Into the Woods sticks fairly close to the cautionary tales that were originally written for children. Yikes! The music flows seamlessly from one tale to another as the characters interact with one another. Be sure to watch the bonus features to get behind the scenes access to the actors and production team as well as the talented composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. The Cast as Good as Gold and Deeper into the Woods are packed with gems about the actors, the set design, costumes, and of course, the music. Disney’s Into the Woods, now available on Blu-ray is a must have for your Disney collection. Even if you think you aren’t into musicals, you will be singing “Into the Woods” for the rest of the day. You may even find yourself skipping along to grandma’s house or searching for some magic beans.

Frequent Walt Disney World travelers are used to friends and coworkers commenting, “You’re going to Disney again!” Some will never understand a Disney Parks fanatic’s love of visiting the house of mouse, but one of the reasons I explain is that there is always something new and special about each and every vacation. We measure milestones in our family based on when children eat their first Mickey Bar, go down the waterside independently, or reach a new height requirement! There is always something to celebrate at Walt Disney World.
If you have a little one who is getting close to that special “First Haircut,” did you know you can make that occasion extra magical by having it done at Walt Disney World? The Harmony Barbershop on Main Street, USA, is actually a working barbershop, and they do more “First Haircuts” than anywhere else in the world! The stylists are very accustomed to working with little ones, and armed with small toys and Mickey stickers they do a great job of keeping children happy while getting their trim.
For around $20, your young Mouseketeer can receive their first haircut, complete with a certificate to commemorate the day. They even package up a little snippet of that first cut for you to keep or put in your baby book. My favorite part of this experience is that once your little one’s haircut is complete, they receive a pair of special Mickey Ears with “My First Haircut” embroidered on the back. You didn’t even know your kid could be any more adorable than they already were, but this hat takes it to a new level of cuteness! My daughter got quite a few “awww, how adorable!” comments from other vacationers while wearing her ears.
Walk-in appointments are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis, but you can make a reservation for this special occasion by calling 1-407-WDW-PLAY. I was unable to get an appointment for my daughter’s first haircut, but we arrived just as the park opened and we were the first customers of the day. We had no problem getting her haircut right then. Currently, Harmony Barbershop is closed for enhancement, but will be reopening on March 30, 2015, for more magical haircuts. Make your child’s first haircut a special family memory by having it done at Disney’s Harmony Barbershop!
