Jessica Rabbit Champagne Available On New Disney Cruise Ship

She's had her own line of chocolate, perfume, jewelry, and nightgowns - but now she has her very own Champagne. Jessica Rabbit's line of Taittinger Champagne is exclusively available on Disney's newest cruise ship, the Fantasy. Cleverly named Ooh La La, it is only being sold on the ships adult lounge of the same name. The Ooh La La Lounge is in the style of a French boudoir and found the perfect match in Jessica for their signature wine.


Disney has stated that the wine will only be available for a year - but also there is a strict Limited Edition size of only 3000 bottles. After it is gone, they do not plan on producing any more. The wine will be available on the ship by the glass or by the bottle. Naturally, Jessica would not put her face on just any product! It will sell for $26 a glass, or can be purchased for $118 in the gift shops.


Worth mentioning is that I find it ironic there is no new art for the wine label - in fact the image of Jessica Rabbit is actually the very well known "untooned" version that has been all over the web for a few years now. The image is slightly altered, and the face used was actually that of Angelina Jolie. I'm fairly certain a Disney artist did not make the untooned version - but the wine is also not created by Disney itself anyway. While Jessica Rabbit's name does not appear to be anywhere on the gold and purple label - it is being recognized as The Jessica Rabbit Wine.

Jessica Rabbit Merchandise Review #43 - Jessica & Roger Pencil Sharpeners



When it comes to Jessica Rabbit merchandise that I have NOT seen - the list is very short. While I certainly have an extensive collection myself, I don't own everything. Until a few days ago I thought I had pretty much seen it all - until I saw the Roger and Jessica Rabbit Pencil Sharpeners from Japan.

25 Years of The Disney Store

It's hard to believe that exactly 25 years ago today the very first Disney Store opened up in Glendale, California, with a bunch of very nervous Executives waiting to see if people would want to buy Disney merchandise outside the parks in a mall setting. The grand opening was a success and The Disney Store opened in twelve more locations soon after. What began as The Disney Company's idea of a piece of the magic outside the parks, soon changed theme (and ownership) over the years.

Pin Release - Disneyland Train Mystery Pin Set

There seem to be a lot of Mystery Pin sets being released lately. This, of course, makes you want to buy a few more sets to try an get the pin you want. The Disneyland Resort Train Mystery Set. The set comes with two randomly selected pins, so you won't know which pins out of ten possibilities you will get. Each pin is a section of a train based on a section from Disneyland. There was a bigger twist this time, as there are two chaser pins. A "chaser" is an even more rare pin and is usually a surprise until someone finds it. As you can see there are ten pins promoted, the chasers are not - one happens to be a pin of Toontown with Roger and Jessica Rabbit. The sets sell for $19.95 each and limited to 2500.
