Japan Bon Voyage Grand Opening

"Bon voyage"--"Have a good trip!"
March 1st is the Official Grand Opening of Bon Voyage a Two-story suitcase and hatbox at Tokyo Disney Resort. But the baggage (which is actually lying on its side) doesn't belong to some giant Disney character. These colossal accouterment containers are Bon Voyage, the latest imaginative shopping addition to Tokyo Disney Resort. The suitcase and hatbox are from the 1930s, when a burgeoning number of travelers everywhere began to roam farther and farther, seeking hospitality and adventure on a worldwide scale.
Original merchandise at Bon Voyage revolves around three design concepts: the shop's grand opening, baggage and travelmotifs, and the Disney character props inside the shop. Over 120 original items will be available, including popular confectionery, stationery and plush dolls.
Yuki went to the pre-open yesterday and found new Plush Pins and Dangles. I hope to have pictures to share with you later today.

April Tigger

The Fourth Tigger in the set, April Tigger. . His yellow coat is decorated with bunnies eggs and chicks which makes him an Easter Tigger.

This pre 1940 Mickey and Minnie set pictured above has just been released by Disneyland Paris. Thanks to Sam of http://samsbeanieshop.tripod.com/News.htm we have pictures to share.

UK 2001 St. Patrick Day set
This coming Tuesday in the UK they will see the release of a redesigned St. Patrick Day Pooh and Tigger. There are some minor differences in the new designs but I am not sure what they are exactly. If anyone has both sets please let me know.
Kelvin writes in:
1) The new St Pats Pooh has the new style face with a smile while last
year's has his mouth open with red.
2) The new Pooh has a tag that says only "Disney Store" on the front while
last years says "The Disney Store" But that change is going to affect all
new beanies coming out.
3) The new Pooh has footpads most likely because there is a date on it.
Last years did not have a date and therefore, no footpads
Thanks Kelvin for the information!

Only the UK received Pooh last year and the parks in the USA only received Tigger.
Thanks to Michelle from http://www.btinternet.com/~TOYS/ for this yeas pictures of St Patrick Day set.

We do not know yet if the WDW Easter beans will be different but with as many beans as we have seen come out for the holidays in the past it would not be hard to guess that they will be different.

In the beginning of January we saw the arrival of new bean bags in conjunction to the opening of Disney's California Adventure. At the time we reported on these bean bags we didn't have pictures of them all. I wanted to show a bit more of these bean bags since we didn't get to see them all then. There were so many I decided not to picture them all here today, just highlight Mickey, Minnie and the sets available. If you would like to see more check Taimantis Disney Shopper for more pictures.
Also take a look at the tags on them. If you notice they are specific to Disney's California Adventure.

Photo Pooh
This is not a Mbbp and he does not have beans. (Darn that would have been a great addition.) Even so, for a lot of us Pooh collectors he will be a must have for our collections. This adorable Pooh is the same size as a Mbbp (see below) and the picture frame he his is holding will allow you to add your own personal photo. Pooh Mini plush frame (as his tag states) interestingly enough has a red tag just like those given to the USA Little Star Poohs.

Good Trader Pages
Some of the pages on the GTR have not been updated in awhile. There are some changes I hope to implement on the GTR very soon. I am working making the pages automatic so that everyone can leave their own feedback and it will post immediately. My attention has been on this matter as it has been time consuming to set up these pages. I am not sure when they will be up and running but I hope to implement it soon. I will try to update the GTR this weekend manually for those emails I have. As most of you know I have been having a on going problem with my PC for almost 6 weeks. Thankfully I can use my work PC and my son's PC to keep up most of the pages. My main PC is the primary PC for getting GTR Emails and some feedback emails have been lost. If you are missing feedback on your name please contact me at gtr@creationscelebrations.com

UK Superlove set

Today the UK saw release of UK Valentine beans Superlove Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore. Not all Stores put all three out and I had heard that Eeyore was going to be more limited (less of him had been made) but it has not been confirmed.

Sarah lets us know that the Valentine ones that were released in
the UK this morning are called Super Love Pooh, Super Love Eeyore and Super LoveR Tigger,
Tigger is a lover not a
love! None of them have their names on their tags, just those names on the
tush tags.

Christine wrote in "My local Birmingham store only had Superlove Pooh and Tigger, but said that Eeyore would be out on Saturday though they took pre-orders for them from people queuing for the other two."
Thanks to The Big bean for the use of his pictures and Sarah of Bears n' Beanies UK & Christine for the extra information

Pooh Anniversary Bean

Japan - Tokyo Disneyland Resort has released this adorable Jester Pooh. He has beans in him and sells 980 yen. His formal name at Japan Disney stores is "Pooh Anniversary Bean".
Yoko writes me this information:
The picture is called "35th Anniversary Bean Bag plush pooh ". The bean was made to commemorate that it has been 35 years since Pooh has been joined as Disney Character. He is not Little Star. As Japanese little star was almost made by cotton. However he has much bean into his body. So he is called bean. He will be available at other Disney Store in Japan before long, but he released just at Tokyo Disney Resort Disney Store at this moment.
Thanks to Bright Wind for the picture and Yoko for the information

USA Dangle
Another Dalmation Dangle has been introduced in USA Disney Stores. Most Dangle Keychains do not come with tags, so this one is a bit unusual sporting it's 102 Dalmation Puppy love tag.

Pirate Eeyore Keyclip
UK ~ Another addition to the keyclips. Pirate Eeyore has been released in the UK. Last year we saw several keyclip designs matching bean bags that were only released in the UK.
Keyclips have been part of some collectors collection even
before the UK designs started surfacing. USA Disney Stores saw the release
regular designed Mickey and Pooh keyclips with different cities on their shirts.
These were very popular among collectors. Due to the fact that only certain
locations got them they were a bit more difficult to acquire. Collectors had to
trade or buy them second market ....but that didn't stop them from trying to complete
their city collection.
I wonder if the City keyclips popularity spurred Disney into trying keyclips that matched Mbbp. Let's hope that they move abroad and send some to the USA as they are truly adorable and once again very popular among collectors!
If you would like to view more of the keyclips visit this picture page City Keychains & other Keyclips
Thanks to Claudia for the picture of Eeyore

New Dangles

Japan - New Dangles have arrived in Japan. Three shiny material Rabbits and then Pooh as Dalmation. There is a slight difference on the Japan Dalmation to the USA Dalmation. The addition of blue on the collar and the length of the ears. Also the Tail on the USA version has a black tip. As you can see in the Japan version is it white.
I am told that these dangles pictured above are only available at the Disney Resort at this time.
Thanks Yuki for the pictures and information

Furry Winter Pooh & Piglet
UPDATE - Yuki said that these were very popular in Japan and they have already sold out. She is hoping for another shipment to show up.
Tokyo Disneyland has released these cute items. They are not considered Mbbp but they do have beans. They are similar to the Pastel Pooh and Furry pooh we have seen in the past as they cost a bit more and are a tiny bit bigger than a Mbbp. Pooh sells for 2300 yen and piglet for 1300yen.
New Plush pins from Tokyo Disneyland
I also found it interesting that Japan received a larger version of Mickey and Minnie Skiing. Though not the same they are very similar. These sell for 2900 yen
Thanks to Yapoo for pictures

Disneyland California Adventure Beans arrive
Diane from Taimantis Disneyland shopper writes this "New Year's Day was the first opening for some of the stores along Downtown Disney which is the main street along DCA. The park itself is not open yet, but several of the shops and a few restaurants were. There is a HUGE store at the end of Downtown Disney called WORLD OF DISNEY - it is over 30,000 square feet and is virtually all the stores on Mainstreet Disneyland combined plus DCA merchandise. These beanies were only available at the WOD store. There were lots of different ones, but we only chose the cutest ones for now and will add more as they become available. I was so overwhelmed with all the merchandise I can't remember all the beanies. There were some Safari Mickey/Minnies (I wasn't too impressed with these) also a Minnie and Daisy in evening wear, a Tuxedo Mickey, Beach Mickey/Minnie and maybe a few others. They are larger than normal beanie size but not quite as big as a LBBP and cost more as well ($10). There are going to be a lot of new DCA pins coming out as well.
They also had some gorgeous DCA snowglobes, some battery
operated replicas of the rides, a miniature replica roller coaster, clothing, cookware,
bath accessories, a Toy Store, baby store, the list goes on and on!!!! You can spend
hours in there!
The Rainforest Cafe was also open for business and has it's own merchandise.
Also there were a few "specialty" non-Disney type stores open, like a candle
shop, a movie memorabilia shop (which sells antiques, autographed pics of stars as well as
nostaglic goodies such as gumby and pokey rubber figures, Felix the Cat clocks, The 3
Stooges glassware, etc) and a very expensive art gallery featuring some beautiful
sculptures, vases etc...
I have to say that Disney did a beautiful job on this park! So far we've only seen the "main drag" but were extremely impressed!
So word to the wise......When visiting the new DCA, be sure to bring LOTS & LOTS OF CASH!!! "
___________________
We would not expect less... new beans for our newest attraction and theme park Disney's California Adventure (DCA). DCA sits right beside Disneyland in California. If you are not aware this is a separate theme park. It is divided into eight themed lands. It looks like each of these sections is going to have their own set of costumed Bean Bags. They are 9" -10" tall and have a District specific hang tag, which is a 2" square.
If you would like to see more about DCA follow the links below.
