Welcome to an extremely busy day here at Disney Springs. It's been raining off and on all day, and it seems like many people would prefer to shop rather than visit the parks. We're ready to see what's new.

"I Conquered the PeopleMover" would make a great addition to my attractions-inspired hat collection. It's $27.99.

Fans of "Finding Nemo" will find some new merchandise available inside World of Disney. This Jawsome youth hat features Bruce the shark for $24.99.

There's also an adult hat, perfect for those who are a little forgetful. "I'm Having a Dory Moment" is my excuse for everything. Yes, this hat is a natural blue (just like Dory!) and shimmers in the light. You can pick this one up for $27.99.

It's cold and rainy today, so many people have been picking up sweatshirts. The seagulls from "Finding Nemo" have been getting a lot of new merchandise lately, and we're excited for that. This zip up hoodie is $49.99. The front has a curious looking seagull, and the back says "Mine! Mine! Mine!" with more seagulls. We might have to get this one before we leave today.

Two new Vampirina pins are available at Disney Pin Traders. Ghoul Girls Rock is $12.99 and Vampirina is $9.99.

The Toy Story Alien popcorn buckets have landed at the popcorn cart across from World of Disney.

It's a little crowded today.

This snowflake petit cake looks so pretty in the display case and sounds even better. Cinnamon nutmeg chiffon cake is layered with salted caramel calvados mousse, cranberry and cherry pate de fruit jelly, and toasted hazelnuts.

We had to take a quick snack break, and decided to grab the holiday gelato slush from D-Luxe Burger. Layers of tart slush mixed with vanilla gelato is a winning combination.

We're hoping the Chicken Guy! remodel might include a covered area over their outdoor seating. We're craving chicken, but we don't want to have to sit outside in the rain.

If you're a fan of Star Wars and the NBA Experience, be sure to check out the Star Wars NBA Nights.

There's actually a line of people to get into the NBA Experience today.

The second and final City Works sign has been installed, so let's hope that the grand opening can't be too far away.

It's still strange not to see Bongos Cuban Café on the West Side.

That's about all for today. Thanks for following us around Disney Springs, and be sure to stay tuned for more updates!

MENOMONIE — UW-Stout apparel design and development teams placed second and third in the 2019 Advanced Textiles Student Design Competition in Orlando, Fla.

The Advanced Textile Products and Narrow Fabrics Institute, a division of the Industrial Fabrics Association International, selected the winners recently at the IFAI Expo.

The team of students Marina Lee, of Madison, and sisters Farah and Fatima Alfaryruz, of Saudi Arabia, garnered second place for their project called the Hamayh Suit. The garment, which was designed with safety, comfort/ease and functionality in mind, was developed for gas-filling attendants and gas pipeline workers who encounter some of the most hazardous and harshest work environments.

The students created the design for their apparel functional design and development class.

In an interview last year, Farah Alfayruz said Hamayh means protection. The suit was also designed for warmer climates with removable sleeves when workers are on break. The clothing could be used where there are wildfires.

Third place went to the UW-Stout team of Jessalyn Bennett, of Johnsburg, Ill., Susanna Bordelon, of Cross Plains, and Cecily Ripley, of River Falls, for their project, an anti-malaria dress. The garment features portability, nonchemical mosquito repellency and accessibility for mothers to breast-feed.

The student design challenge was to use textiles as a major component to design aerospace, medical, military, safety/protective or other wearable and nonwearable textile technology applications.

IFAI Expo is North America's largest specialty, industrial and advanced textile event, hosting more than 325 exhibiting companies and more than 4,400 participants from 64 countries.

IFAI is the largest worldwide association for the industrial, specialty and advanced textile industries, with members in more than 60 countries.

First place went to the University of Minnesota student team of Ian Harris, Warda Moosa and Mary Xiong for their emergency avalanche transceiver garment. The project was developed as a possible main shell layer used by skiers and snowboarders in the back country that would provide an all-in-one solution as an avalanche beacon harness and jacket.
