Potatoes of the Caribbean

The much anticipated PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST opens in theatres across the country today. I thought this would be a good time to share some of the stuff that we picked up at World of Disney in New York City last week, like this Pirates of the Caribbean Mr. Potato Head. His hat even has a Potato-Skull and cross bones, ladies and gentlemen! And check out that peg-leg! He's one tough tatter! They also have tons of PIRATES stuff at your local Disney Store too, so check that out!


At the World of Disney NYC that have plenty of items that are exclusive to that store, all with a New York theme. We picked up this classic looking Mickey in his NYPD blues! There's a little hidden Mickey in his uniform cap! Below is one of those preschool shape sorter toys with lots of blocks in different shapes that match up to the different holes in the ball. The blocks all have different Disney character pictures on them like Mickey's ears, Goofy's hat, and Donald's shirt. Four of the blocks are extra cool and set this toy apart from what you'd find in any regular old toy store...

...Four of the blocks have Walt Disney World theme park icons on them! The Magic Kingdom Castle, Epcot's Spaceship Earth, Mickey's Hat from the Disney/MGM Studios, and the Tree of Life from Animal Kingdom. That's awesome! My favorite is the Epcot block. It just warms my heart to see my 6 month old son chewing on a miniature replica of a ride that celebrates the history of human communications!
