food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing we look forward to around the Disney parks every year, it’s spooky season!

There’s just something extra magical about all the pumpkins, wreaths, ghouls, ghosts, eats, special entertainment, and more. We’ve already had a sneak peek at what’s coming to Disneyland Resort for this year’s Halloween season, but it looks like Disney has started decorating for the occasion, too!
After previously authorizing a strike due to unfair labor practices, four unions representing Cast Members have come to a tentative agreement with Disney.

Members voted to authorize the strike, with 99% approving the plan. But, it seems as though a strike may not happen after all, as Disney and the unions have reached a tentative agreement.
Spooky season is here, and we are so ready!
Mickey pumpkin in Disneyland
It won’t be long until we see that giant Mickey pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland. Halloween snacks and drinks are just around the corner, as is pumpkin spice season, and the first Oogie Boogie Bash is coming up soon. Halloween merchandise has already started to appear, but there’s one new spooky collection that select Disneyland visitors will get early access to.
Are you ready for some MAJOR Disney announcements and celebrations?!

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is a BIG deal. This event is completely sold out (which didn’t take long!) and will feature appearances and talks from Disney execs, celebrities, Imagineers, and more. We’re expecting some huge announcements about parks, movies, and cruises, too. But, it’s all kicking off with a BRAND-NEW Disney park event!
You never know who you might run into the next time you’re on your Disney vacation!
Bo Peep and Jessie
Ever since Disney started buying up established franchises like Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel, we’ve seen more and more interesting (and rare!) character meet-and-greets come to the parks. Seeing Indiana Jones and Kevin from Up in one place is honestly kind of mind-blowing. But, we certainly never thought we’d see this character at Disneyland!
Stars, they’re just like us! And by “us,” we mean Disney fans, of course!
We love meeting characters in the parks!
You just never know who you might run into when you’re walking down Main Street, U.S.A., or exiting Space Mountain — and that includes celebrities. We’ve spotted a TON of icons at Disney World and Disneyland lately, and this latest star’s visit is making all our millennial dreams come true!
Are your Disney trips draining your wallet on the souvenir front? We may have a solution!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout
Look, cards on the table, we still get sticker shock when we look at many Disney souvenirs. That doesn’t mean we clutch our wallets, but we’re still always on the lookout for deals and savings on great Disney merch. With that in mind, we have to talk about a Disneyland souvenir that’s been incredibly affordable and right under our noses for years!
Many of us have to budget for our Disney World trips, including figuring out how to get all the sales, discounts, and deals we can find.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
That’s why we’re always sharing when you can get Disney gift cards at a discount or when an airline has a great sale, we want you to know about these deals so you don’t miss out. However, there’s one ticket discount we’re not sure we’ve mentioned yet, and it may be one you don’t even know about. We will warn you, though, this discount might make you feel old (it’s okay, though, we ALL gotta get old someday).
Recently, performing Cast Members at Disneyland voted to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association. But that’s not the only union representing Cast Members in California.

These unions work to ensure the Cast Members at the Disneyland Resort have fair working conditions, favorable wages, and security in terms of living conditions. Since April 24th, 2024, four unions have been working on contract negotiations with the Disney company, but on Friday evening, July 19th, members voted to authorize a strike due to unfair labor practices.
Fans of the Country Bear Musical Jamboree it’s time to listen up because we have MORE news coming your way!
