food IS a theme park
Twinkly lights. Jingle bells. Holiday decorations. Yeah, the holiday season really is the most wonderful time of the year! Now, who’s ready to get a head start on that holiday shopping?
Magic Kingdom
If there’s one decoration you NEED this year, it’s this. We just found three NEW Disney holiday decorations that will instantly put a smile on your face. Operation: DECORATE is on.
It has been an absolutely WILD week for Disney news, you guys!
Cinderella Castle
At the beginning of the week, Disney announced closure dates for parts of DinoLand, U.S.A., a yearlong closure for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, a delayed opening timeline for The Little Mermaid show in Hollywood Studios, and the return of the Jingle Cruise holiday overlay. We covered all those announcements in a roundup earlier this week, but then Disney decided to surprise us all with even MORE news!
Disney has always had a pretty big showing at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.

We’ve previously scene floats devoted to Disney Cruise Line ships, as well as balloons dedicated to characters like Grogu from Star Wars (aka Baby Yoda). We’ve even seen a performance by the cast of The Lion King on Broadway to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary in 2022. However, this year, we will see a FIRST for Disney in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade: a balloon devoted to Minnie Mouse.
Okay, parents, we know your kids have their good clothes that they don’t play in and their clothes that they play in. That’s just how it works.
Disney snacks make everyone happy
However, your kids don’t have to wear unfashionable clothes when they want to have a little fun in the sandbox. Why not grab them some fun Disney tees to make playtime even MORE fun (and your photos of playtime even better)? It just so happens that we have an ENTIRE store just for kids, and you can find a lot of fun Disney-themed styles for all your little ones. These are perfect for in the parks or at home!Â
It’s finally happening! We have an official opening date for Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, and the hype is REAL.

Epic Universe will bring an entirely new theme park to Universal Orlando with five themed lands, and we can imagine that EVERYONE is going to want to get their hands on tickets before it opens on May 22nd, 2025. Well, you’ll want to know HOW to get your hands on those tickets, so we’ve put together a guide to help you out (warning, though: it might not be EASY to score those tickets right away).
Just when we thought we had seen all sorts of hardcore Disney souvenirs, our minds were blown once again.
Let’s go shopping!
Sure, we still love a good ol’ pair of Minnie ears and you’ll often find us rocking a Loungefly bag in the parks — but there are some Disney souvenirs and merchandise you just might not want to bring to the parks and we think we found it. Just trust us on this one.
Pack it up, Amazon. Go home, Target! Disney just released the BEST holiday advent calendar we’ve EVER seen, and there’s no way you can top it.
Santa Goofy!
Each year, we look out for the best new advent calendars. There are a few returning favorites this year (looking at you, LEGO!), but Disney’s latest 24-day advent calendar is our new favorite. Be warned, though. The price is in the triple-digits, people.
Who doesn’t love a good sale?
