Tinker-Talent, New Area’s and Quests.
Over at the Pixie Hollow Blogs they have mention of a few different things, basically there’s some new area’s open, some new quests and lots more. I’m off to go explore! Why don’t you!
Fly with you Fairies, and welcome to all the new tinker-talents! If you haven’t flown by Cottonpuff Field today, it’s time you did — Tinker Bell finished clearing the path to Tinker’s Nook! You’ll be able to find Tink there, as well as Fawn over in her hideout in Maple Tree Hill and Silvermist in her grotto in Dewdrop Vale. All of them have things to talk to you about and adventures for you to go on, so stop by for a visit! And when your wings get warm from all that flapping, fly on over to Winter Woods to cool down in one of the two new meadows!In other news, you may have noticed getting to the Hollow just got faster! We made some behind-the-scenes changes to get you in quicker — so much quicker, that you might get there before your Friends List or your Leaf Journal! If that happens to you, don’t worry — your Friends List, Chat Bar, Leaf Journal, Pouch and Access to your Fairy Home will all appear as soon as they are ready.
PSST! Secret tip! A little change was made to Spider Stitching in the tailoring nooks. Now you place your stitches when you let go of the mouse button, instead of when you press it down. Give it a try and let us know if you like the change!

Free Firefly Badge at Pixie Hollow
Sweet Pea over at the Pixie Hollow blog has posted the following about her friend Iridessa loosing her fireflies. Basically it’s mentioning that you can get a new Firefly badge if you go play the Firefly game.
Fairies, have you heard the awful news? Iridessa has LOST her fireflies! She worked so hard to light them all in different colors to decorate the new meadows for the Winter Wonderland Party and now they are nowhere to be found!
What do Fairies do when another Fairy needs help? Why, they help her of course! Let’s all get out there and play lots of Firefly Light-Up this week - if we all put our wings together, we should be able to light enough fireflies in time for the Winter Wonderland Party next week! As a thank you for helping Iridessa, the Never Council has released a shiny new set of Firefly Light-Up badges.
So what do you say, Fairies? Let’s all take part in the Great Firefly Light-Up and make Pixie Hollow sparkle more than ever!
Happy Flapping,
Sweet Pea

Tron 2.0’s first two players/cast
The anticipated sequel to Tron, Tron 2.0 has cast its first two female actors, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. Tron 2.0 is planning on a spring shoot and has everyone watching with open eyes. I personally am looking forward to this new movie and will be off to the Cinema’s when it comes out 
Olivia Wilde
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - “House” co-star Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett are the first to sign on for “Tron 2.0,” a sequel to the 1982 Disney cult classic.
The original, about a programer thrust into a computer and forced to fight in games he helped create, is remembered for its sci-fi gladiator-style battles and groundbreaking special effects.
The new movie is acting as a “next chapter.” Plot details are being guarded closely, but Wilde will play a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, the villainous intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the original. Garrett (”Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”) will play a siren in the virtual world.
The male lead has not been cast, but the studio and filmmakers are screen-testing actors as it brings on other leads and supporting players. Joseph Kosinski is directing; Steven Lisberger, who co-wrote and directed the original film, is one of the producers.
“Tron 2.0″ is eyeing a spring shoot and is shaping up as one of the studio’s most anticipated projects in years. Kosinski shot reels to test technology and showcase his vision for the film; the footage screened at Comic-Con in July and was one of the most buzzed-about films coming out of the annual San Diego geekfest.
Missing high score badges in Pixie Hollow?
Over at the Pixie Hollow Official Blog they have posted another entry outlining what to do if you loose your high score badges in Pixie Hollow. Looks like there was a bug in the system and they are explaining how to fix it Good Luck!
ISSUE: You scored 40,000 or more in Firefly Light-Up between December 9th and December 15th, but do not see that high score badge in your journal.
Fairies with talent enough to score more than 40,000 in Firefly Light-Up are being rewarded with a badge. Unfortunately, those Fairies who earned it this past weekend may not see it in their journal. Not to worry, the Never Council has a record of everything that happens! If you Leave Us a Note letting us know your Fairy name and score, we can check the books and make amends.
Keep it dusty,
Kit
Club Penguin Behind the Scenes
There’s a new blog post over at Club Penguin and it’s talking about behind the scenes at Club Penguin, they also talk to an artist who works for Club Penguin.
Hello Penguins! Happy77 here.
I’m so stoked to say hi. Some of you might remember me from way back at the beginning of Club Penguin. Since Billybob announced I’d be writing blogs I know some of you have asked about me. Among other stuff, I do some writing for Club Penguin, love to play Mancala, and I’ve been told I’m a bit curious…
Lots of you say you want to know behind the scenes stuff at Club Penguin. So, along with some game updates, I’ll sometimes be asking questions of the people around here. There’s a new mission coming up soon, and I found out that soon Screenhog will be giving you a great sneak peek. But since we’re all curious about missions, I talked to an artist who works on them:
What was your absolute favorite thing about working on the upcoming mission?
“All of it. Doing the storyboards are difficult, but the most fun.”What’s your favorite candy?
“Hmmm. There’s this candy that’s kind of like ‘breath perfume’ that I like.”I want to know all the stuff you’re curious about around Club Penguin, so please let me know! (And tell us if you have any fab ideas for new missions!)
Until then…Waddle on!
