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's T-Shirt

Gina showed me this T-shirt that she has from her time as Tinker Bell. She said that she was proud to work with her crew for over 21 years. Gina and her crew used to give each other end of the season gifts every year. One of her crew members designed this T-shirt for every one in 2004. Gina still takes it everywhere with her as she treks from state to state for her Disaster Recovery work.

Gina has a new podcast interview for 2020 coming in a few weeks. She will be recording this week with the Creating Geeks Podcast.

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.

Tinker Bell's Mother's Day Fun Fact

MOTHER’S DAY FUN FACT:
Gina Rock, the longest-flying Tinker Bell in Disneyland history, was pregnant with both of her children while flying across the castle for the fireworks show. She gave birth to her daughter in 1984 and then her son in 1987.

Because her doctor was concerned for her safety while being pregnant, he had Gina's mother go to the top of the Matterhorn to inspect the harness set up and fitting to approve it for flight. The doctor respected her opinion because she had worked with doctors for so many years. She said Gina would be safe to fly until she was 4 months along. Both times she was pregnant coincided with the downtime of the fireworks flight. With her second pregnancy, she got a doctor's note to give the okay to Disney for her to fly. Disney didn't fly Tink in the wintertime.
Gina said this was her favorite Disney magic, becoming a mother.
She flew from 1983-2005.
