Tinker Bell Does Her First Convention

Gina had a blast participating in her first convention on Sunday for Virtual Mouse-Con 2020. She wanted me to give a special thank you to Steven Wyatt, the one who plans the Mouse-Cons (among other conventions) and for conducting her interview. 

She wants to thank the fans of Mouse-Con who made her interview the top viewed interview of the convention. Gina also wanted to thank me, Joshua Shaffer, for setting it up for her as well.

Gina is looking forward to meeting people in person (hopefully) at the next Mouse-Con in November 2021.

If you didn't get a chance to order one of Gina's autographs, here is the link to do so.

Tinker Bell on the Moustalgia Podcast

 

Mousetalgia is one of the top Disney podcasts and Gina was so excited to be interviewed by them. She is in episode #626 and it was published on October 19, 2020.

"This week, we’re thinking Tink! You may have thought you knew all there was to know about Tinker Bell, but Mousetalgia dives in and considers the flight of everyone’s favorite fairy by looking at some interesting angles. First, we talk to aerialist Gina Rock, who flew across the sky in Disneyland as the fireworks lit up the night. Gina talks about her background as a gymnast, and the experience of portraying the famous pixie in her nightly ritual in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. We also talk to Klay Hall, the director of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, on helping Disney relaunch Neverland for a new generation. Hall talks about developing Tink as a story editor for the 2008 Tinker Bell feature film, developing Pixie Hollow for Disneyland Park, and helping to guide the franchise as DisneyToon Studios launched the Disney Fairies, reimagining Tinker Bell for today’s audiences while keeping her roots as one of Disney’s most enduring and beloved characters. Plus – Kristen Carr checks in with a Mousetalgia FastPass… and more."

To listen to just Gina's part, skip ahead to the 25-minute mark.

Tink Fights COVID-19

Times like this can be a trying time. Everyone is doing what they can to fight back against the COVID-19 outbreak by remaining in home isolation. There are many children in the hospital battling the virus themselves. With the lockdown in place, Make-A-Wish Foundation is doing what they can to make children’s last wishes come true whether it is from the virus or not. It is difficult because they can’t take the children anywhere. For the months of April and May, Tinker Bell (Gina Rock) will be donating the money from her sales to whichever Make-A-Wish chapter that you choose.

1. Just pick the chapter you want by clicking MaW Chapters

2. Choose which autograph you want by clicking Autograph Photo

3. Or choose an autographed Tinker Bell pin by clicking Tink Pin 

4. Or you can decide on getting a bottle of Pixie Dust with Gina’s signature on it by clicking Pixie Dust

After you decide on what you want, just send me a message with the Make-A-Wish chapter you would like the money to go to. If you do not want to choose one, it will default to the Los Angeles Make-A-Wish location.

If you would like, a copy of the receipt from Make-A-Wish can be sent to you.

This donation went to the Florida branch.

Tinker Bell Has Flown Away

I am sorry to say that Gina can not make it to Mouse-Con now. Her work with FEMA has deployed her to the middle of the US to assist after a flood. She is very upset that she can't make it back to California to meet everyone at Mouse-Con this year, no one can stop Mother Nature. She has to go where she is needed.

-Joshua Shaffer 

If you were planning on meeting Tinker Bell at Mouse-Con this year, here are the links to order an autographed PHOTO or autographed Tinker Bell PIN.

Meet Tinker Bell in Person

Gina will be attending her first convention on November 3, 2019, in Concord California for Mouse-Con. She will have a booth to meet with people and to sign autographs. At some point in the day, she will be speaking on a panel about her time as Tinker Bell.
Plan on coming to Mouse-Con to stop by and say hello.
Remember, if you ever saw Tinker Bell fly during the fireworks between 1983-2005, it was her.
