A sparkle caught our eye in the Emporium this morning. We spotted the new 50th anniversary sparkle gem ears.

As we moved through the Emporium, we felt like we were being watched. Then we found this new Sulley headband. It does light up and his eyes move from side to side, as you move. When you push his horns down, his eyebrows move. This adorable headband is only $9.39.

“Zootopia is a unique place.” Quite like Walt Disney World is. We stumbled upon this new “Zootopia” Loungefly Backpack in Uptown Jewelers. It’s mostly covered in fuzzy, white fabric, similar to faux sheepskin. The bottom, back, and straps are brown faux leather. Patches of the movie characters, and movie symbols are embroidered over the backpack.

At 9:30am, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds are scheduled to do a fly over demonstration. We jumped in a good spot on Main Street, U.S.A., along with everyone else in the park.

Don’t look away for one second because you might miss them. They passed over two times. The first fly over they went directly over Cinderella Castle, and Main Street, U.S.A.

The second pass they displayed a formation that looked like the fireworks. This was absolutely amazing. You can watch the full demonstration here:

Back to our loop. We hopped abroad the PeopleMover to check in on the Tron Lightycycle Run construction. Today, we noticed themed lampposts have been added to the walkways.
