food IS a theme park
Ah, at last. The sweet relief of the weekend has arrived!
Cinderella Castle!
What’s on your schedule? Catching up on your favorite shows? Spending time with friends and family? Maybe you like to wind-down with some online shopping!
Who’s ready to do some SHOPPING?
Disney merchandise
Disney seems to be constantly releasing new merchandise for us to check out, and we’re certainly not complaining…although our wallets and bank accounts might be! We’ve got quite a few new items online this week, and we’re ready to share the full list with you.
Universal’s theme park business is expanding.
Universal Orlando
Not only is Super Nintendo World opening soon in Universal Studios Hollywood, but Universal Studios Florida is getting a third theme park, Epic Universe. But that’s not all. Universal has plans to CONTINUE building more theme parks across the U.S. AND throughout the world and is spending HUGE amounts of money to do it.
WHAT A WEEK.
Nothing Can Stop Us Now!
From the permanent closure of Splash Mountain in Disney World to the start of the 100th Anniversary festivities in Disneyland, a lot has happened in just a few short days. If you want to make sure you’ve got ALL of the latest Disney news — from food updates to ride openings and beyond — you’re in the right place!
Since Bob Chapek was ousted from The Walt Disney Company and Iger took over the reins as CEO once again, we’ve seen further leadership changes follow.

It’s not all that surprising that after such a major shakeup, the avalanche would only continue to roll with more executives leaving and others taking their places. And now, with the first company earnings call since Iger’s return just a short time away, more executive leadership changes could be on the way at Disney.
If you’re unfamiliar with Disney Doorables, they are these absolutely DARLING minifigurines of Disney characters that often come in mystery packs. Those that love them know that once you start collecting them it’s almost impossible to stop!
They’re just so fun to collect!
As with any other collecting hobby, it can quickly get expensive. Especially when you’re purchasing mystery packs and aren’t even guaranteed to get all of the characters you’re missing! But don’t worry — we may have found the perfect solution.
Among all the fun Disney collectibles are all the BOOKS!
We love Disney books!
Disney is always creating storybook twists on classic animated tales that we all know and love. Not only do they contain beautiful reimagined visuals and illustrations but the stories are sometimes written in a short and sweet way that makes them perfect for the minds of your littles.
If you were able to convince your parents to stop at McDonald’s (maybe you got the dreaded “you got McDonald’s money?”), you probably asked for a Happy Meal, especially if they were giving out toys themed to your favorite movie or TV show.
Happy Meal
Remember excitedly opening that red and yellow box to see what toy was inside? Well, get ready to relive those happy memories!
It’s time to celebrate! We have made it to the official Disney100 Celebration kickoff!
100 Years of Wonder — Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
In true celebratory fashion, Disney has given us new park decor, snacks, nighttime shows, and of course — merchandise! ALL-NEW merch was just released online and in the parks, and we think classic Disney fans are going to love it. We found these merchandise items in Disney World at Celebrity 5&10 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Pin Traders in EPCOT, and we just had to share with you all!
Surprises — they can be full of joy (like a surprise ride reopening) or riddled with stress. While 2023 may hold many wonderful surprises for Disney fans and Disney’s own CEO, it is shaping up to be a year with some NASTY surprises too.

Since assuming the role (again) in November of 2022, Bob Iger has had to come to terms with the fact that Disney simply is not the same way he left it. And thanks to serious battles with Florida politicians and complications with Disney’s Board of Directors, some unpleasant surprises could await him later this year. So today we’re breaking down just 3 of the worst surprises that Iger may have to face within the upcoming months.
