food IS a theme park
Alright, who remembers when Disney SNACK merch ran rampant throughout the parks?
Mickey Ice Cream Bar!
And it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to keep that stuff on the shelves? We definitely remember, and we’ve been hoping that the snack merch trend will make a reappearance in the future. Well, Disney’s fairy godmothers must have heard our cries, because there’s an ALL NEW Disney snack collection coming SOON.
No matter how old we get, we always find ourselves wandering to the plush section of Disney’s shops and website.
Plushes galore!
And yes, sometimes, we even adopt one to come live on one of our shelves or bed. They’re just too cute to resist! There’s a new Disney plush coming to shopDisney, and we can’t stop thinking about it.
Keeping the Disney Parks in tip-top shape means that there are countless Cast Members performing maintenance, upkeep, and even handling dangerous tools and chemicals once the visitors have left.

Having former Cast Members on the team, we know that Disney goes above and beyond to ensure that Cast Members take proper safety precautions. However, incidents still happen.
Driving to Disney World is a norm for many, but for some of you, it might sound like one of the worst things imaginable.

Long road trips aren’t for everyone, but there are times when they could be more ideal. Plus, booking plane tickets and getting through the airports and your flight in one piece is a dreaded experience in itself. If you’re exploring the idea of driving to Disney World in 2024, we have something that might encourage you to take that leap.
The future of The Walt Disney Company lies within streaming.

At least, that’s what Bob Iger said when he shared that streaming and transforming Disney+ was his main priority as he continues his leadership as the CEO of Disney. At the final quarterly earnings call of 2023, Iger shared that Disney+ increased domestic subscribers by 7 million, and the company is set to profit from the platform for the first time since before the pandemic by the end of 2024. Disney+ isn’t the only thing on Disney’s radar, though, as they recently acquired the remainder of shares in Hulu, and could branch out further. Now, folks are making predictions regarding the future of streaming — and we found some of them to be interesting.
Can you believe it?
Who’s ready to party?
We’re only a few short days away from the last day of 2023 — New Year’s Eve. If you were hoping to celebrate at Disney World and didn’t grab a park reservation before they sold out, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are plenty of other ways to celebrate in the Orlando area. So, don’t you fret, Boba Fett (Ted Lasso reference, anyone?). Put on your glitter and dancing shoes and let’s get to planning New Year’s Eve in Orlando!
Disney World is our happy place.
Disney World
It’s fun, magical, and all things good — in most cases. However, making sure that things stay fun, magical, and good requires a bit of WORK. Yes, that means that sometimes, we have to do some no-fun things for the greater good. Sigh. It’s hard being a Disney adult. There are a few terrible, horrible things that we totally recommend in Disney World in 2024 to ensure that you have the BEST time possible.

When he returned, he made it clear that his leadership within the company wouldn’t last forever. However, he did promise that he would be involved in the search and training of his successor — the person who would take over as CEO after Bob Iger’s (updated) contract ends in 2026. Bob Iger’s successor is a major concern not only for Disney fans, but for company stakeholders and investors in The Walt Disney brand. Well, media executives are now chiming in with their predictions for who they think the successor could be.
Believe it or not, the holiday season is still in full swing at Disney World.
