food IS a theme park
When it comes to souvenirs, Disney World has no shortage of options to choose from!
Main Street Balloons
You could get pins, glow toys, bubble wands, tees, or so many other items! We’re constantly checking up on the new souvenir offerings in Walt Disney World, and today we noticed a change to one of the classics — Mickey balloons. There are not one, but TWO new colors of Mickey balloons…and we’ve got pictures of them both!
If you like to collect Disney merchandise, there are a lot of paths you could take!
2021 Minnie Ears
You could collect popcorn buckets, Minnie ears, Christmas ornaments, and so much more! And if you do a lot of shopping on shopDisney, then one great item to look out for are the collectible keys. Disney releases keys based on a variety of things — from short films to movies and everything in-between. Now, we’ve got a sneak peek at another one that’s coming soon!

If you’re a HUGE Disney fan, there are so many ways to bring Disney style into your home!
2021 Merchandise
Whether it’s Christmas ornaments, blankets, or clothes for your pets, we’ve shared lots of merchandise in the past that’s perfect for curating a magical feeling in your living space. Here at DFB, we’re constantly looking for ways to add more Disney touches to our own homes, so we just knew that we had to share the new Mickey Mouse Black and White Kitchen Collection from shopDisney with you!
It’s been a busy week and a few days for Disney!
Festival of the Arts
With several changes in the theme parks, including Park Hopping returning and free MagicBands leaving, there’s been a lot of news! Plus, it’s the new year and Festival of the Arts has returned. On top of all that, several amazing Disney products and merchandise lines arrived on the internet this week, and we’re sharing all of them with you!
2021 has arrived and it’s going to be a BIG year for Disney!
Walt Disney World Gateway
With the 50th Anniversary of Magic Kingdom coming later this year, several new attractions opening, and multiple refurbishment projects around the resort, there is a lot to see at Walt Disney World this year!
Let’s talk Minnie ears — one of the most popular souvenirs at the Disney parks!
Wall of Minnie Ears
2020 was a BIG year for Minnie ears. There were 12 different sets released with the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection, we saw multiple styles for the holidays, and there were several more designer pairs released to the public. It literally felt like a new pair of ears was dropped every week, so we decided to actually count and see how many there were. Turns out there were 98Â pairs released in 2020! That’s right, 98 pairs — and we’ve gathered ALL of them up in this post!
We learned back in November that legendary Walt Disney Company Imagineer Joe Rohde would be retiring today, January 4th, 2021.

His 40 year-long career with Disney has included such amazing projects as World Showcase pavilions, Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!, Captain EO, and most notably, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. His time with the Imagineering department has produced some incredible work, and today he and his coworkers had a few things to say about his retirement.
Disney World Resorts are stunningly designed, excellently themed, and some of them have pretty luxurious accommodations.
Grand Floridian Lobby
We’ve got a lot of advice to share for those choosing where to stay in Disney World. But what if you want to stay somewhere a little EXTRA? Disney has you covered! Today we’re sharing our choices for the most ridiculously awesome hotel rooms in Disney World.Â
Park hopping is much different than it used to be.
Monorail
We’ve had some time to get used to the new park hopping system, and feel pretty confident in our ability to…well, park hop! Those who haven’t visited the parks since 2019 may not recognize park hopping, as it’s changed quite a bit. The rules for hopping between parks, or even just getting into the first park of the day, are different. But don’t worry if this is all new to you — we’ll walk you through a day of park hopping!
Welcome back to another Disney online merchandise roundup!
Holiday Sale
We saw lots of great things in the park this week, like 2021 ears and some cool new pins, not to mention a HUGE after-Christmas sale on the holiday merchandise! There’s surely a lot to see in Walt Disney World, but we also noticed the arrival of some equally spectacular Disney products and items online. Let’s check ’em out!
