food IS a theme park
No matter how many times we say we don’t need more Disney merch, a sale will almost always stop us in our tracks. It’s true!

The Disney Store often has great sales that allow us to snag awesome souvenirs for only a fraction of the cost. Whether you’re stocking up on things to wear before your Disney World vacation, or you’re hoping to snag that souvenir that you passed up on in the parks, the Disney Store has ya covered!
We LOVE to chat about Disney World snacks. I mean, even if we didn’t literally get paid to chat about Disney World snacks, we’d still do it all day every day.

Here at Disney Food Blog, we report on all the new snacks in the parks, but there are some snacks that we keep crawling back for again and again. Within those snacks that always seem to be calling our name are snacks that literally make us want to jump for joy and cry happy tears. You wanna jump for joy and cry happy tears too? Well, keep on reading, pal.

At Disney’s 2024 annual shareholders meeting, we got to hear all about Disney’s plans for the future — whether that be across the parks or within the film studios. One movie that we were looking forward to learning more about is Moana 2, which Disney recently shared would be in theaters THIS November!
At this point, we’re just counting down the days. 👑 🐸

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in both Disneyland park and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this year! It has been announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Disney World on June 28th, 2024, and in “later in 2024” in Disneyland. We’ve gotten glimpses of ride testing, the characters you’ll meet along the way, and we’ve even gotten a sneak peek of the on-ride photo. As the opening date grows nearer, we get even more updates on the ride — small little details that have us getting even more excited. Now, Disney has released details behind the water tower!
IT’S TIME! We’re back again with a roundup of all of the new updates we got at Disney World this week.
Welcome to Disney World!
You might be wondering just how many things could possibly happen at Disney World in just a week, but the answer is A LOT. We’re at Disney World every single day keeping track of all of the changes — big and small. While we couldn’t possibly include all of these things in just ONE post, we can show you all some of our favorite updates. You ready? Let’s go!
As Disney’s ongoing political battle with Florida governor Ron DeSantis is starting to settle, it seems that changes will soon be made across Disney’s special district.

Although we are still waiting for a ruling on an appeal that Disney filed at the federal level, the state-level case reached a settlement. As a refresher, this state court case (2023-CA-011818-O: CENTRAL FLORIDA TOURISM OVERSIGHT DISTRICT vs. WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS US INC) was brought by the district against Disney. It claimed that certain agreements Disney entered into with the old board were null and void. Disney later filed a countersuit against the CFTOD board, claiming that they willfully failed to search for and produce documents pertinent to the case. A settlement was reached in March that includes the dismissal of the documents case as well. Now that a settlement has been reached, it seems that DeSantis’s oversight board is considering upgrades near Disney World.
If you’ve followed along with the Walt Disney Company for some time, you’re probably aware of the Company’s dispute with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The ongoing battle between Disney and DeSantis’ district was believed by Disney to be an orchestrated campaign to punish Disney for its political views and that this all now threatens Disney’s business. After Disney pushed back on DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education law (known by many as the “Don’t Say Gay” Law), DeSantis pushed for control of Disney’s special tax district and insisted that his appointed board be in control of happenings in and around Disney World property. Since the battle began, Disney paused all donations to local politicians, but it seems that that is now changing.
Let’s face it. One of the best parts about visiting Disney World is shopping for souvenirs.
EPCOT
Shopping for souvenirs at EPCOT can be particularly exciting, because along with all the traditional Disney World merchandise, you also have access to the cultural merchandise that you’ll find around World Showcase.
