food IS a theme park
Disneyland Paris originally closed in March 2020, and then later reopened in July. However, it closed again in October.

Although Disneyland Paris was supposed to reopen on April 2nd, Disney recently announced that it would not reopen on that date. But it is reopening soon, although not as a theme park.
If you haven’t noticed, Disney has taken quite a few steps to make its parks more environmentally friendly. In 2018, Disney announced it would ban single-use plastic straws at its parks.

We also recently noticed some changes at Disney World: our beloved plastic cheese (okay, it’s not REALLY plastic, but that’s what we call it) in pre-packaged plastic cups was being phased out in favor of cardboard cups of plastic cheese at select locations. And we’ve even spotted special trash cans in the parks for compost waste!
Disney World has some great treats, but we shouldn’t overlook other Disney treats around the world either.

Disney has resorts in a LOT of places including the islands of Hawaii. Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa is located in Ko Olina and makes for a relaxing a BEAUTIFUL trip for any Disney fan. Plus, Aulani has its OWN treats — and we caught wind of a sweet one today.
April is coming up and there is one VERY exciting event that we’ve got our eyes on — Earth Day!
Tree of Life
Disney has a few celebrations planned for Earth Day, especially over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Did you know that park actually opened on Earth Day in 1998? Still, you don’t have to book a ticket to Disney World to celebrate Earth Day; you can do it from home with a special collectible!
Ah, Disney nuiMOs.
Mickey and Minnie nuiMOs
If you aren’t familiar with these little guys, they’re Disney’s posable, dressable plushes (and their accessories come at a pretty hefty price). We’ve seen ’em for Mickey and Minnie, Stitch, and even Kermit the Frog! But if you wanna dress up a different friend, you’re in luck! A new set of nuiMOs is on the way.

One of the cornerstones of Disney fandom is collectibles, and luckily, if it exists in the Disney-verse, you can probably collect it! Without a doubt, Funko POPs are some of the most fun Disney collectibles.

There are POPs for just about everything, even some of our favorite rides like the Jungle Cruise! We’ve seen this adorable Skipper Pop before, but now we’ve found a new version that’s even. better.
Sure, we all love a good pair of Minnie ears, but you know what’s even better? Mickey Mouse pom-pom beanies! And it looks like a few new pairs are headed our way!
