food IS a theme park
A beloved program is returning.Â
Southwest plane
It’s been a year of transition at Southwest Airlines. The successful U.S. carrier has announced changes are coming to its long-established seating policy and also began heavily enforcing its carry-on rules, including what can be classified as a personal item. However, amid all these changes, at least one well-liked perk from Southwest’s past is returning once again.Â
Halloween is in full swing both in the Disney parks and in our personal houses and apartments, because we just can’t help ourselves.
It’s time to buy Halloween stuff!
While we’ve seen a lot of great Disney Halloween merchandise this year already, there’s ONE souvenir that’s been iconic for years, and that’s the Light Up Mickey Jack-O-Lantern. Most of us have seen it advertised, or more likely, seen how it’s sold out like lightning in recent years. We have great news though — if you don’t have a lot of room for decorations in your space, there’s a MINI pumpkin that was just released online!
DirecTV customers stood at the center of a streaming dispute between DirecTV and The Walt Disney Company, who owns networks like Hulu, ESPN, Disney, and ABC. On Sunday, September 1st, customers could not stream live sports broadcasts, including the U.S. Open tennis tournament and college football.
Disney+
In fact, Disney’s ESPN, ABC, and Hulu stations and services went dark for DirecTV customers on Sunday when Disney pulled its networks from DirecTV due to a contract dispute. Customers were not happy, and we have an update.
Are you ready to fully embrace the spooky season?!
Magic Kingdom
Halloween is just around the corner and as we begin to experience all the festivities, we’re also on the lookout for some great Disney Halloween merch! In fact, during our search, we found some great offerings at Costco!
We were NOT prepared to see this today.
Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion fans, we have to admit there have been some really cool merchandise items to grab in the past that make your home feel like its part of the mansion, but these new souvenirs take things to the NEXT level. Trust us, grab your wallets now to be prepared!
Okay, it’s what you’ve been waiting for: the day when Aldi drops its weekly ad for what’s coming to stores the following week.
ALDI
Next week is going to be bringing some Disney essentials (and at Aldi’s prices, you’ll want to grab those), as well as some fun Disney souvenirs, so you’ll want to make sure you hit up your local Aldi from September 11th through September 17th. Yes, it’s time for your next Aldi shopping trip (but really, we’ll go to Aldi ANY TIME WE GET THE CHANCE).
It’s time to start thinking about the holidays!
The Holidays at Disney World!
Christmas might not be for a few more months, but it’s never too early to start preparing. Buying all your gifts for family and friends can be a BIG job, so getting an early start on it can be time-saving. One thing that we like to get early is an Advent calendar for our kiddos. If you grab an Advent calendar in advance, you’ll be ready right on December 1st for the first day of counting down til Christmas. We just spotted a new Advent calendar on Amazon that we think Disney kids everywhere will love!
The Three Caballeros are going high fashion.Â
The Three Caballeros

Who says you can’t countdown to the holidays the Disney way?
