CBeebies: Bedtime Review

BBC Children's DVD's upcoming CBeebies Bedtime DVD features 64 Zoo Lane, Hey Duggee, the Furchester Hotel, In the Night Garden, Topsy and Tim, Yo Gabba Gabba!, and Bubble's Beautiful Day. The DVD features "some of your favorite CBeebies friends getting ready for bed".

64 Zoo Lane: A Long Night in the Jungle
64 Zoo Lane is kinda like the Very Magic Mango Tree, a book I remember reading. It's about a girl named Lucy and her animal friends. In this episode, the animals tell her a story about two monkeys who want to stay up all night before their birthday. On their birthday, Nelson the Elephant gives them beds.

Hey Duggee: Sleeping Badge
Hey Duggee is about a dog who runs a preschool club for animals. In this episode, the Squirrels take a nap but Tag can't sleep, so Duggee suggests ways.

The Furchester Hotel: Bunk Bed Blues

The Furchester Hotel is a Spin-off of Sesame Street. In this episode, Elmo wonders what it's like to sleep in the Top bunk and see amazing things through his window. Phoebe, on the other hand, wants to sleep in the top bunk, too.

In the Night Garden: Pontipines in Upsy Daisy's bed
In the Night Garden is basically Teletubbies: Midwest Edition because it's made by the same people. In this episode, the Pontipines take a long walk until they find Upsy Daisy's bed and sleep on it.

Topsy and Tim: Wide Awake
Topsy and Tim are a curious pair of twins. In this episode, they can't sleep because they're moving houses tomorrow. Their best friend's parents come over for dinner, but they want to see.

Yo Gabba Gabba!: Sleep
Yo Gabba Gabba! is a throwback to New Zoo Revue with modern sensibility. In this episode, the Gabbas play a game to get their wiggles out, take a nap and have dreams. Watch out for Mark Kozelek and Chaos Chaos!

Bubble's Beautiful Day - Sleep
Bubble's Beautiful Day is a parody of Yo Gabba Gabba!, made by the creators of Maddie & Friends. In this episode, they get their wiggles out and Diamond Rumpas sings a lullaby to his bunny. Watch out for Emmi Morton and Mazzy Star!

Good: Yo Gabba Gabba!, Bubble's Beautiful Day, Topsy and Tim, Furchester, 64 Zoo Lane
Bad: IN the Night Garden
(My favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba!)

It features Dolby 2.0. and uses subtitles.

Put on your pajamas and cuddle up with your CBeebies friends for 7 Sleepytime adventures. Join Duggee as he prepares for nap time, the 64 Zoo Lane animals as they prepare for a birthday party for two night monkeys, the Bubble Dreamers as they get their wiggles out and count sheep, the In the Night Garden Gang as they sleep in Upsy Daisy's bed, and Yo Gabba Gabba! as they dance before bed. Enjoy night quality time!

5 tips to prepare for a trip to Disney World


So, you're visiting the Happiest Place on Earth soon? This entry is for you!

1. Watch a movie every night before the big day, even in the car or airplane
Every night before your trip can be movie night! Whenever you love Aladdin, Peter Pan, or The Lion King, we recommend this pre-trip tip!

2. Dress them up as their favorite characters
Kids love the Disney characters! What WDW trip would be complete without them? Kids can visit the park by dressing up as their favorite Disney characters. Could be a princess, Goofy, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, or Alice.

3. Take the kids out of school
You may or may not go to Disney during the school year, but this is still a great idea!

4. Ear Hats
There is a large variety of Ear Hats at Disney World, so keep track of them in the crowds.

Honorable Mention:  Pick a theme
Our theme on the last trip was princesses. You can always pick a theme for your vacation!

5. Count down the days
Use a calendar to count down days of Disney World!
