food IS a theme park
It’s never too early to start celebrating the holidays — just ask Disney!
Hollywood Studios Christmas tree
Halloween Starts in August and the winter holidays happen pretty much immediately after spooky season ends. We’re certainly not complaining, and if you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit we’ve got the perfect merch for you to grab now!
Halloween and Disney are two of our favorite things.
This is Halloween!
The only thing that could make either of these things better is merchandise that features BOTH of them. We’ve seen lots of Disney Halloween merchandise already this year, and it’s only August! Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party kicks off on August 11th, though, so that just means we get to celebrate spooky season a little extra. If you’re just like us and LOVE some spooky Disney merchandise, or if you’re headed to the parks this fall and need some Halloween bling to wear, then this post is for you.
The battle between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly Reedy Creek Improvement District), and Disney continues — and there have been some NEW developments.
Disney vs. DeSantis
Earlier in 2023, Disney filed a federal lawsuit against DeSantis and members of the board of the District arguing that there has been a violation of Disney’s federal rights. Basically, Disney has alleged that DeSantis has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” against Disney to punish them for their political views. We’ve seen a number of actions taken in the federal case over the last few months, but now there’s something NEW to tackle.
Okay, so Disney often releases some really…interesting merchandise.
Merchandise
Sometimes, the weirdest souvenirs are actually useful, though (like the Donald Duck phone holder). Sometimes the souvenirs are just kinda’ gross. Then there’s the Ferret Farts Lip Balm. Yep. That’s a thing that really happened. However, we think we might’ve just found what could end up being Disney’s most ANNOYING souvenir –– and trust us, if you have kids, DO NOT BUY THIS.
Someone please tell us we’re not the only ones with a closet full of Mickey ears that we only wore twice and then promptly forgot about when the next new pair caught our eye.
Disney souvenirs
There are lots of very not-practical Disney souvenirs out there, but you can also find Disney merchandise that you’ll actually use every. single. day. Seriously! We found 6 souvenirs online that really will become part of your everyday routine, so you don’t even need to feel guilty about spending the cash. [Read more…]
There’s one major move Disney CEO Bob Iger could make that would change Disney forever.

During Iger’s first term as CEO at Disney, he made some big acquisitions of other companies, like Marvel, Pixar, and Lucasfilm. But might it be time for Iger’s legacy to be a different one — not of buying other companies, but of selling the one he’s in charge of? It’s possible and perhaps inevitable, according to one analyst.
Hold up! Stay right here. We have to let you know about these markdowns on Disney merch before the week is out!
Let’s go shopping!
Time is flying by so fast. Halloween is basically here and Christmas feels like it’s tomorrow. But don’t worry. We’ve got you! Like we said earlier, we’ve seen some great sales on all of the Disney merch and the other essentials you’ve been looking for. So, let’s jump right in!
It’s official: this is Halloween!
This is Halloween!
We’ve already seen the Halloween decorations up in Disney World. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is starting soon in Magic Kingdom. Halloween merchandise is EVERYWHERE. What do we say? Bring on the spooky season. However, if you’re looking for some spookiness for your home, look no further than Target, which has some fun Halloween inflatables sure to give your home that Disney Halloween vibe that’s perfect for the season.
Disney has a LOT going on right now. There are some BIG upcoming movie releases this year — both Wish and The Marvels are coming out later this year.

There are also some big things coming to Disney Cruise Line over the next couple of years, including a new ship, the Disney Treasure. There are also several new things coming to the parks worldwide, including a new attraction at EPCOT. So what do the opening timelines look like for all these projects? Well, we’ve seen a few timelines previously confirmed, but now we’ve got even MORE of an idea of what other timelines look like.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again.

You can find some of the BEST Disney merchandise and travel necessities online on Amazon. You can find Loungefly bags, T-shirts, and a few super unique things that might not even be in the parks. We actually found some unique souvenirs on Amazon recently, and we thought they were so cute that we just had to share them.
