food IS a theme park
Sprinkles Cupcakes is EVER an innovator when it comes to baked goods — it’s “the world’s first cupcake bakery!”
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Serving cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and ice cream, the gourmet shop features innovative flavors and the novelty of a cupcake ATM. So we know we’re in for a treat (or two!) from their newly released April menu!Â
It’s (almost) always ice cream season in Florida!
Disney Springs
While the weather hasn’t totally cooperated lately, we know sunny skies and sweltering days are right around the corner. With spring here and summery weather arriving, we’re getting SO excited for the opening of another frozen treat spot — Salt & Straw in Disney Springs. And seeing the latest flavors this company has planned for their existing locations is just making us even MORE excited for the shop to open in Disney World!
Disney has come out with some SERIOUSLY awesome collaborations recently.
Dooney Bags
We just spotted a brand new pair of BaubleBar x Disney’s The Little Mermaid Minnie ears in the parks, and we’ve seen more than one Dooney & Bourke release this year already. A lot of these designer collaborations can come with a high price tag, but what if we told you there was a way to get a SUPER popular Disney designer collab for LESS?! Well, there is — and we’re sharing how!
Looking for the perfect accessories for your next trip to Disney World?
So much shopping to do!
There are so many Disney items that you can buy online ahead of your visit, from Minnie ears to 50th Anniversary merchandise. And this week, a bunch of new Disney products landed online that we have to tell you about!
We’ve seen some…interesting…food-themed Disney merchandise over the years. Remember the Mickey taco backpack that came out recently? Yeah, us too. Not even to mention Disney’s recent obsession with scented merchandise, like this Mickey pretzel-smelling backpack.
Mickey pretzel Loungefly backpack
Now, it appears that Loungefly has once again surprised us with how creative they can get when it comes to Disney souvenirs!
Are you sitting down? No? Well, you might want to! We’ve got a whole BUNCH of Disney news to catch you up on!Â
EPCOT
From exciting restaurant reopening news to EPCOT Food & Wine Festival updates and character meet-and-greet changes — this has been quite the busy week. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive into the biggest Disney news stories from the past few days!
There could be MAJOR changes on the horizon for Disney…or, at least, some major changes are being threatened.
Disney World
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) has spurred a lot of discussion. We’ve seen Disney make a number of responses to the Bill — most recently, issuing a statement in response to the Bill’s passage into law, which Florida’s Governor then issued a response to. Now, it seems all of this talk has generated interest in Disney’s operations in the state and a KEY aspect of how they do things in Florida could be at risk.
Are you itching for a Disney World vacation? Got those post-Disney blues? Just craving a seat on a bench on Main Street, U.S.A. with a citrus swirl in hand? Well, maybe May of 2022 will be THE month for you — the month that you finally get back to your “happy place.” If that’s the case, there’s one big cost you need to consider…airfare.
Get Ready to FLY
Every month, we stop to examine the average cost to fly to Disney World to help you get a feel for what costs might be for your trip. We last took a look at those flight costs for April, but now it’s time to jump to May! Ready to get planning? Then grab your imaginary luggage and go on a journey with us…a budget journey that is!
Buying your Disney gear online can be a saving grace when you’re not able to make it to the parks. You can get a lot of good stuff on shopDisney from ears, to spirit jerseys, to even EPCOT festival merchandise!
It’s time to go shopping!
The only thing that could possibly make online shopping better, is when we’re able to save some money, and for today only, shopDisney has us covered.
Disney World isn’t the only Disney park celebrating a big anniversary right now! Disneyland Paris is also celebrating its 30th anniversary (cheers to 30 years!)!
