Kalgoorlie-Boulder will be first regional WA town to host Pixar Putt mini-golf experience
Kalgoorlie-Boulder will be the first regional town in WA to host an internationally acclaimed minigolf experience. Pixar Putt will head to the Goldfields Oasis for an 11-day session from June 28 as part of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder's biennial Pop-Up Project initiative. Mayor Glenn Wilson said the city was proud to provide another special one-of-a-kind experience this winter, following the pop-up ice skating rink seen in a previous year. 'This is a big win for Kalgoorlie-Boulder and a great example of what we can achieve when we think outside the box and push for something different,' he said. 'It's not just about hosting an event — it's about creating memorable experiences for local residents and communities right across regional WA who will travel here for it.' 'As a dad, I'm really looking forward to tackling the course with my four-year-old, who's a huge Lightning McQueen fan. 'It's the kind of experience you'd usually find in Perth or Melbourne, so it's fantastic to have it here at home in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.' Featuring themed holes based on Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Cars, and Inside Out 2, the course is designed for all ages. After-dark sessions for adults will also be offered, with a pop-up bar. TEG Experiences managing director Shane Harmon said he was excited to bring Pixar Putt to the region. 'Pixar Putt has had more than 700,000 minigolfers putting to infinity and beyond since we launched in 2019, and we are thrilled to be heading to Goldfields Oasis in Kalgoorlie-Boulder for the first time,' he said. 'We can't wait to showcase this Aussie fan-favourite attraction which has recently won a new legion of international fans in New York, Texas and Chicago. 'Kalgoorlie is the perfect location for Pixar Putt — there's plenty of space for patrons to have fun and kick some serious putt.' The waitlist for early access is now open, with general tickets available from midday on June 2 online at

Pixar's Adorable Lamp Mascot Is Getting Its Own Lego Set
And yes, you can pose Luxo Jr. bouncing on top of the Pixar ball. Almost as iconic as Pixar's cast of animated movie characters is Luxo Jr., the little lamp that starred in Pixar's first animated short, and now shines a light to open every one of their films. And now, it's getting a very cute tribute in the form of its own Lego set–complete with a brick-built replica of the famous red, blue, and yellow Pixar ball. This morning Lego revealed its latest Disney building set for adult collectors in the form of Luxo Jr., a 613-piece replica of the lamp from the titular short as well as the tiny ball it plays with. As well as Luxo Jr. itself, which can be posed and moved, well, like a lamp, the included Pixar ball itself can be opened up to reveal easter eggs celebrating Pixar's legacy in animation, from Toy Story to Up, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and even more of the studio's films. Lego Ideas Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. Of course, as well as being displayable separately, by removing two of the rounded plates from the ball, the set can also be displayed to depict Luxo Jr. playfully squishing the ball as it bounces atop it as seen in both the original 1986 short, and ever since in Pixar's opening studio title animation. It's a very cute little set, one that could easily look like a bit of office decor (after all, it is basically just a desk lamp!) until you see the multicolored little ball beside it. It may not be as exciting a Lego set as something more directly based on many of Pixar's films, but it's a neat little way to show off your love of the studio in a bit more of a subtle way. Luxo Jr. will release on June 1, and is available to pre-order now for $70.

Disney reveals first look at new £826million cruise ship - with brand new show and a water attraction
Disney has revealed the first details of its upcoming new $1.1 billion/£826 million cruise ship which will be themed around 'heroes and villains'. Named Disney Destiny, the ship will be the newest addition to Disney's fleet and fans can expect to see many of their favourite characters featured onboard. The ship, which is Disney's seventh, is set to launch in November 2025 and has capacity for 4,000 passengers. Its grand hall will be Marvel-themed and feature a statue of Black Panther hero King T'Challa. Minnie Mouse will stand on the ship's bow in a hero-like pose while there will be a Spider-Man sculpture on the stern. Entertainment will include Broadway-style stage shows with interactive performances. While classic Disney shows, such as Frozen, are likely to feature onboard, passengers will also be able to watch a new show, Disney Hercules. The exclusive new performance will tell the tale of Hercules' adventures with plenty of special effects. Disney says that the show will also feature a 'heartfelt ballad' that was 'originally penned for the movie' but 'left out of the final cut'. Holidaymakers will also be able to take part in activities themed around Disney's heroes and villains. Children can team up with Star Wars' Chewbacca to prep for a mission in a galaxy far, far away. And when it comes to dining, the most exciting new addition is a Lion-King themed restaurant set to be an immersive experience. Musicians and actors will tell the tale of Simba's rise from cub to king while diners tuck into themed culinary treats. Meanwhile, Edna A La Mode, an iconic character from The Incredibles films, will have her own sweet shop on the ship. Disney's AquaMouse water-coaster ride will also have a new storyline on Destiny, with Mickey and Minnie leading passengers on a trek to Villain Mountain's peak. And adults who want to get in touch with their 'villainous' side, can head to De Vil's Hollywood inspired piano lounge for a cocktail. Edna A La Mode, an iconic character from The Incredibles films, will have her own sweet shop on the ship Disney says: 'Indulge in trendy martinis, old-fashioned cocktails or high-end bubblies while swaying to the sultry tunes of a black-and-white spotted piano.' The ship's upper decks will have 10 pools and water play areas including the Toy Story-themed Splash Zone. Disney Destiny will set sail on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale on November 20. The ship will offer four and five night cruises to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean, including stops at Disney's private ports, Castaway Cay and Lighthouse Point.
