food IS a theme park
The Disney Cruise Line has provided a ton of exciting announcements lately!
Ready to Get Cruising?
They’ve extended their payment and booking flexibility, provided various discounts on select sailings, and are expecting to have the Disney Wish take its Maiden Voyage this summer. And if you’ve been hoping to book a trip to a unique destination (a.k.a. somewhere that’s not a hot, sunny beach), you’re going to want to hear the newest Disney Cruise Line announcement!
Let’s see what’s happening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
As we near the 5-year anniversary of Pandora – The World of Avatar on May 27th, we’re seeing new Pandora merchandise hit the parks! And while we expected to see mostly Pandora merchandise hit the park, instead we mostly saw…Simba?! That’s right, Disney seems to be stuck in 1994 (when Lion King was released, of course), as the park was full of Simba merch. Like, seriously…Simba is everywhere. Of course, we saw other updates in the park too, like new food offerings and items unrelated to Lion King, so let’s see what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary isn’t the only celebration happening around the parks!
Pandora — the World of Avatar
A ton of celebrations will take place on May 27th too! While Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will officially launch in EPCOT that day, an entirely different celebration will be taking place as well. That celebration is the 5-year anniversary of the opening of Pandora — The World of Avatar! And if you can’t visit Animal Kingdom to celebrate, no worries! You’re able to snag some celebratory merchandise from home!
Are you an adventurous eater? If so, you need to make your way over to Disneyland ASAP!
Hi Trader Sam!
You may have tried the Peanut Butter and Jelly Mac from the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, or the Zulu Oxtail Samp and Beans from Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. But the new menu item from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland will take you on a different taste journey — one that takes you under the sea!
May is full of galactic fun for Star Wars fans!
Galaxy’s Edge
Of course, May 4th was packed with unique offerings to celebrate Star Wars. But that’s not the only day Star Wars fans had to look forward to in May! There’s also the upcoming Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim from May 26th to May 29th, Star Wars Nite in Disneyland on May 27th, and the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ this May 27th! Phew, that is A LOT. And if you’re looking for the perfect accessory for any of these occasions, we found a collection that you need to see!
Until teleportation is invented, we’ll be stuck flying (or driving) to Disney World.
Ready to Fly?
And while the lack of teleportation may be a pain, flying to Disney World has been made easier with Orlando International Airport’s addition of a new airline, new routes, and paid ground service transportation options. Now, those in Brazil will also have an easier time traveling to Disney World!
There’s no shortage of 50th Anniversary offerings in Disney World!
The one and only Mickey Mouse!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration has been filled with new foods, merchandise, decorations, and shows! And if you’re a fan of closing out your night with fireworks, like the 50th Anniversary-themed Disney Enchantment show, prepare to stay in the parks a little bit later than usual.

With faith, trust, and a little chaos magic, a popular Scarlet Witch item is about to make its way through the multiverse, and appear on shopDisney! The timing couldn’t be any better, as the recent release of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the appearance of Scarlet Witch in Avengers Campus has created a void in us that only a certain pair of ears could fill. Spoiler alert…the item we’re talking about is the Scarlet Witch Ear Headband, and we have all the information you need to know about this release!
