food IS a theme park
It’s officially August — WHERE did the time go?
It’s August
This month we’re seeing Halloween decorations at Disney parks and the first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year is just around the corner. Big things aren’t just happening in the parks, though — there is a lot of new material you can stream on Disney+ this month as well!
Haunted Mansion fans: we apologize in advance.
The Haunted Mansion
There have been SO many tempting Haunted Mansion souvenirs released lately — from an entire Dooney & Bourke collection to a light-up sipper — but you might just need to open up those wallets again to get Disney’s latest Haunted Mansion item.
Who needs a vacation? Raise your hand!
Disney Wish
Let’s be honest, we probably all need a break from the hustle and bustle, and what would be a better way to relax than to set off on a Disney Cruise? The Disney Wish is the cruise line’s newest ship and it has a lot to offer. If you haven’t yet set sail on the Wish, we’ve got some exciting news for you!
Sometimes, you just need a little R&R. Just a bit of peace and quiet.
Life isn’t always as relaxing as it is at Disney World!
One of our favorite ways to relax, take a few moments to ourselves, practice mindfulness, or even keep the kiddos entertained is to simply sit down and color. Hey, nothing heals the inner child like a whimsical coloring page and some fresh crayons. What makes the experience even BETTER is when we find some Disney-inspired coloring sheets. Disney occasionally shares some coloring sheets that you can download for FREE, and they shared a new one recently. Let’s check it out!
We’re constantly on the lookout for the hottest new Disney merchandise!
Ready to shop?
Recently, we’ve seen quite a few new accessories, as well as plenty of Halloween items. But now, we’ve found a few Disney collectibles that we think you’ll be interested in online!
For a while, talk of a train connecting the Orlando International Airport DIRECTLY to Walt Disney World (with a station in Disney Springs) was the big news in town…but then suddenly things changed.

In June of 2022, Disney backed out of the deal for a Brightline train station within Disney Springs. But, in 2022 we also learned that an alternative station was still being planned for a place near the original Disney Springs site, just not on land owned by Disney. Since then, Brightline has shared a bunch of updates about the construction of the line from South Florida to Orlando, its station within the Orlando Airport, and more. But what’s happening with that reported station “near” Disney World? Here’s what we know.
Y’ALL! Do we have some NEWS for you!
The way you search for dining reservations for Disney World and Disneyland is about to CHANGE in a great way!
Breakfast at Garden Grill
At the moment, you can search for Advance Dining Reservations via the Disney World or Disneyland websites or apps, but sometimes finding these reservations isn’t all that easy given the way that Disney’s system is set up — limiting your search by specific dining periods of times. You could find yourself messing around with the system for a while, changing between searching for “breakfast” versus “8AM” or other specific times until THE reservation time you want pops up. But soon, that’ll all be changing!
Summer is coming to an end, but what does that mean for travel?
Orlando International Airport
The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is certainly busy throughout most of the year, being one of the main airports for tourists visiting Disney World, Universal Orlando, Sea World, or one of the many other Central Florida attractions. These crowds can make traveling through the airport quite stressful. It turns out, though, that if you traveled through MCO this past year, you may have been part of some of the largest crowds to EVER visit the airport!
Start your day the EVIL way!
Joffrey’s Coffee
Boy, do we have great news for not only lovers of caffeine but also for Disney Villain fans. If you have ever been to a Disney World park, you are sure to have seen a Joffrey’s Coffee cart serving up tasty-looking donuts and coffees. We’ve been lucky enough to get to brew our own Joffrey’s coffee at home with their past releases, but this new collection has us EVEN MORE EXCITED!
We’ve got more McDonald’s news for ya, but this time, it might break your heart.
McDonald’s
Why? Because some really cool NEW stuff is coming to McDonald’s…but NOT in the U.S.! It’s fine…we’re super jealous…but it’s FINE. 😂 (Don’t worry — there’s still at least ONE new item coming to McDonald’s locations in America!) [Read more…]
