food IS a theme park
Two years ago, we were introduced to The Mandalorian on Disney+, and Star Wars fans have been obsessed ever since.

Sure, there are those who just love the character of Din Djarin, but there are even more who fell in love with Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) at first sight — which is why Grogu merchandise, toys, and food are literally everywhere! We’ve already seen season 2, and we got a hint that season 3 started filming last year. Now we know when we get to see season 3!
It’s a good time to be a Star Wars fan.

May 2022 is jam-packed with fun celebrations, events, and releases for Star Wars fans. We already celebrated May 4th in the parks, and now, the next couple of days are filled with even more galactic fun! There’s the Star Wars Celebration from May 26th through May 29th, the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ on May 27th, and the final Star Wars Nite in Disneyland on May 27th! And now that the Star Wars Celebration has begun, we got a peek at the event’s merchandise!
Did you know Goofy just celebrated his 90th birthday?
We love you Goofy!
*Cue shocked reactions* We’ve already seen some pals like Mickey and Pluto celebrate their 90th, and now it’s Goofy’s turn! We love seeing him around the parks, eating at his Candy Company in Disney Springs, and taking a ride at his Sky School in Disneyland. To celebrate this monumental birthday, shopDisney has released some limited edition and special merchandise!
The media industry (including streaming services like Disney+) is almost constantly changing.

For example, Netflix is introducing measures to crack down on password sharing, as well as looking into advertisement-based subscriptions after losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers with the expectation that they will continue to lose more. Disney also recently announced that an ad-based subscription plan will be coming to their streaming service, Disney+, later this year, as well.
Everything Disney has a very unique smell that goes with it.
Marie candle
Perhaps that’s why we LOVE Disney-scented candles. We’ve smelled some pretty amazing ones, too: from a candle that smells like Disney’s Contemporary Resort to a candle that smells like Na’vi River Journey to a candle that smells like the Evil Queen. But what about Disney Princesses? When do they get their own candles? The answer is RIGHT NOW.
Disney has done some really cool collaborations with a lot of fun companies.
Mickey Balloon Loungefly Backpack
We’ve thrown money at many of these collaborations, too, including Loungefly (do we need another mini backpack –yes, yes, we do…), Vera Bradley (oh, those patterns!), Harveys, Coach, and more! But Disney’s newest collaboration might not be one you would think of because the company is now collaborating with…FaZe Clan!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Summer in Disney World = more people.
Crowd levels in the Magic Kingdom
Summer vacation is quickly approaching, and we’ve already seen record high gas prices (that are continuing to climb), as Orlando International Airport continues to see busy travel days, as well.
We already know that Disney World is BIGGER than Disneyland…but is it BETTER? There’s actually a lot that we prefer about Disneyland Resort to Walt Disney World Resort. You can find Avenger’s Campus there, with a whole lot of cool characters. Some classic attractions are still available here that aren’t in Disney World (we’re lookin’ at you, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride). And can you get a GIANT Mozzarella Stick anywhere in Magic Kingdom? We didn’t think so.
Disneyland
However, Disney World still has some pretty awesome things that Disneyland is missing. The OG version of Tower of Terror is there, and eating around the world in EPCOT is one of our all-time favorite activities. So now that we’ve established that the parks are definitely not the same, let’s dive into something else that’s different about them: the GUESTS.
You might be surprised by just how different the guests are at Disneyland versus Disney World. And those differences could have a huge impact on your upcoming trip! [Read more…]
Ah, early mornings — they’re not always a welcome sight…unless you’re in Disney World, of course!
It’s time to party!
And whether your early morning is spent typing away at work or rope-dropping at Disney World, one thing is for sure: you’ll need some coffee! So before you take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry or step into your first meeting of the day, you’ll want to grab a cup of coffee first. And, if you have to be awake early, why not make it a little sweeter with a reminder of all those Disney trips?
Disney has been no stranger to public battles lately.
Spaceship Earth
From the situation with Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill (what critics called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) and the resulting response from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to the repeal of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, threats made against copyright law that protects some of the Company’s key characters, and calls for a repeal of Disney’s no-fly zones — Disney’s name has seldom escaped the news recently. And now it seems Disney’s corporate reputation has taken a hit.
