Disney Frozen Princess Elsa Costume

It's surprising how history repeats itself. Many years ago, I can remember the difficulty to find either Buzz Lightyear or Woody toys following the release of the original Toy Story movie. Fortunately I got one - so my son was happy.

It's not often that the Disney marketing department gets it wrong - but they totally underestimated the demand for Toy Story merchandise. Fast forward 20 years to 2013 and pretty much the same thing happens again.

Disney seemed to be totally unprepared for the demand for Frozen toys, games and costume following the release of its 53rd full length animated movie. To be fair, not many people saw it coming - the movie was basically a remake of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen", and most critics seemed to consider it as being pretty run of the mill.

However, it really seemed to resonate with young girls, and demand for Frozen merchandise totally outstripped the available supplies. Once again, frustrated parents had a tough job to find the toys, games, clothes, backpacks and pencil cases that their little princesses demanded.

Fortunately things are a bit better now and Frozen merchandise is much more readily available - albeit almost a year after the release of the movie. Check out some of the Disney Frozen Princess Elsa costume choices below:




And don't forget, there's going to be a new Disney release of Cinderella next year. Get ready to grab your Cinderella merchandise well in advance!

Disney Frozen Bedding

Disney's Frozen was their big blockbuster of 2013. It was the company's 53rd full length animated movie - and it was loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" - with some modifications for the Disney style of magic.

It's basically a story of sisterly love, which is probably why it was such a big hit with young girls everywhere. Young girls still go nuts for this movie - and many of them will want a Disney Frozen theme in their bedroom.

A bedroom makeover can be a daunting prospect - whether it's for an adult or a child - and children can be very demanding "customers". However, if you want to establish a theme in a child's bedroom, it's a lot easier than you think.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the bed is the focus of the room - which is why it's called the bedroom I suppose. Simply by changing the bedlinen for sheets, covers, pillowslips etc. with the theme that you're going for printed on them, you can very quickly change the look of the room.

You can follow up by changing the drapes - because the window will be the second most dominant feature in the room, and one which will naturally draw the eye. Add a few posters, a couple of scatter cushions, a bedside light and you'll have a themed bedroom in no time at all.

The great thing about this is that you can do it quickly and without spending too much money.

You should be able to pick up a set of themed bedding for somewhere between $30 and $50. A set of curtains with tie-backs will probably set you back anywhere between $30 and $60, depending on the size of the window to some extent. A few accessories, a lamp, a rug (or two), a couple of posters or wall decals should come in at well under $100 - and, don't forget, you can add the accessories one piece at a time if you want.

In summary, for well under $200, and probably in the space of either a morning or an afternoon, you should be able to complete a themed Disney bedroom makeover. Of course, you could spend a lot more money if you wish - but that amount of time and money will still produce a themed room that will delight your child.

The great thing is that, because it's so quick and easy to do, you could complete your makeover while your daughter is playing with friends, visiting relatives or at school. It could be a huge surprise (and a very pleasant one) for her. Imagine the look on her face when she sees her bedroom makeover for the first time!

Don't be put off by the size of the task - it's easy to do.

Here are a few Disney Frozen bedding sets to give you some ideas about where/how to get started.

Pop Up Privacy Tent

If you like to enjoy the great outdoors, but you also like your privacy, then a pop up privacy tent might be a good idea for you.

These lightweight portable shelters fold down into small carry bags (usually supplied) and pop up pretty much instantly when you need them. they tend to be about the size of a small changing room (or toilet stall if you prefer).

You can use them to change in, use them as a camping shower or a camping toilet. If you like fishing or photography, one of these would make a perfectly fine shelter when you're sitting around waiting for a nibble - or that perfect snapshot.

Use them at the beach, in the country or at a camp site. Most of them are perfectly suited for indoor use also - handy if you just want a spare changing room at an indoor venue.
