food IS a theme park
While Disneyland Resort remains closed, we’re starting to see some reopening progress.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Both Downtown Disney and Lake Buena Vista Street are open to guests for shopping and dining. And now, a hotel is planning to reopen, too!
Welcome back to EPCOT!
Festival of the Arts
Yesterday was the last day of the International Festival of the Arts, so we visited EPCOT to celebrate! While we were there, we checked out some food updates and more. Let’s get started!
We were browsing the shops in Disney’s Animal Kingdom when we noticed something a little unusual.
DinoLand, U.S.A.
We’ve had some fun finds lately: LOADS of Raya and the Last Dragon gear, unicorn mermaids in EPCOT, and a Stitch plush that’s just a little terrifying. But this new item made us take a closer look — so we just HAVE to show you, too.
Let’s throw it back to 2020.
Rainbow Collection
Disney released its Rainbow Collection in June to celebrate Pride Month. The collection had TONS of bright merchandise like rain jackets, umbrellas, pins, and more. And then, there were the sparkly Rainbow Ears.

But what if you don’t want to just rep your Orange Bird love? What if you want to take him EVERYWHERE with you?! Well, our newest find is for you.
Our mouths are watering just THINKING about the beignets at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express.

A few weeks ago, we tried the Mardi Gras Glazed Beignets at this Downtown Disney spot. Yum, right?! Well, when we heard about some new additions to the menu, we just had to come back to give them a taste. We’re trying SNICKERDOODLE Beignets today, guys!

Take a seat, because we’ve got a LOT of new Raya and the Last Dragon gear to show you.
