Disney has released a lot on Disney+, like The Mandalorian, Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Mandalorian has seen a ton of success, largely in part to the absolutely adorable Grogu, AKA Baby Yoda. And now, we FINALLY know when Season 3 will be available to watch!
Starbucks cups are a VERY hot commodity, especially when it comes to the Disney ones!
Starbucks in Disney World!
Disney and Starbucks collaborate a lot, bringing us mugs, ornaments, tumblers, and more. We’ve seen a bunch of fun designs for the 50th anniversary, but they do tend to sell out quick! So, we took to Amazon to find some studded tumblers! Let’s take a look.
Disney cruises have a lot of exclusive offerings that you can’t find anywhere else.
Disney Cruise Line
There are restaurants unique to each ship, special shows, one-of-a-kind attractions, and more. While including the usual Disney magic, some cruises also include extra themed days, like Marvel Day at Sea. And now, NEW Marvel characters are coming to the Disney Cruise Line experience soon!

Magic Kingdom Christmas Tree
It’s the holiday season, so there are special celebrations like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, decorations, festivals, and more. And just when you think you know exactly what’s going on in the parks, Disney adds NEW things. So, come along with us to check out what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Did you know that the Disney World parks can sell out?
The parks can fill up!
Yeah, that might seem obvious, but “selling out” looks a bit different these days thanks to the Park Pass Reservation system. While tickets to the parks might still be available, you still might not be able to get into the parks if they’re all booked up. You need a ticket AND a park reservation to walk through those gates, and it’s pretty common for the parks to sell out, especially on important dates! So, let’s take a look at when Disney World is most likely to sell out in 2023.
