food IS a theme park
It’s time to chat about the latest Disney NEWS!
Refresher
We found a secret drink in EPCOT, a new restaurant is coming next year, a fun nighttime show is returning soon, and we found a really yummy donut that I have to tell you about.
Old Hollywood, favorite characters, Star Wars, Pixar…this park has it ALL!
Hollywood Studios
That’s right, we’re talking about Disney’s Hollywood Studios! It’s an incredibly popular stop in Disney World these days thanks to newer additions like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, but there’s so much to discover besides just those things. To prove it, here’s a list of everything that’s new in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
We have been following the development of Tropical Depression 9 and its potential impact on Florida over the last few days. Tropical Depression 9 (now Hurricane Ian) is being monitored. The path of the storm is not certain, but it could become a major hurricane threat for Florida.
Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!
In anticipation of this, Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency for 24 Florida counties as the storm has continued to strengthen. Note: This post is written chronologically and you can find the most up-to-date info from today near the bottom of the article.
One of the best accessories to bring Disney into any outfit is a Minnie ear headband. You can get them in all kinds of styles — from the casual corduroy ears we saw recently to $600 (!) tiara ears designed by Vera Wang herself.
So many ears!
Now, we’ve spotted some NEW Minnie ears in Disney World, and fans of Pixar’s Coco have GOT to see the latest design.
Looking to attend an EXCLUSIVE Disney event? Well, the place that tends to offer many exclusive dining events is actually Disney Springs.

Not only can you dine from special menus from time to time but you can sometimes even dine with celebrity chefs. Now, a fan-favorite quick service spot is hosting a VERY exclusive dining event and only 20 people will have the opportunity to attend.
It might be EPCOT Food & Wine Festival time right now but another EPCOT festival souvenir is making an appearance in Disney World!
It’s Food & Wine time!
We’ve seen some popular souvenirs released during EPCOT festivals, like the Orange Bird cup, the Figment popcorn bucket, and even a Remy spork, and one souvenir is coming back for a limited time!
Dining at Disney World can be complicated. Almost every table service restaurant at the resort requires advance dining reservations — and many book up FAST.

That means planning WAY in advance and knowing where you want to eat several months before you even arrive! Because it is so complicated, we’ve all made mistakes in how we book dining, so we’re going to pass those on so you don’t make those mistakes, too!
We’ve already seen SO much Disney merchandise for Halloween this year, but that’s not stopping Disney from releasing more and more!
Halloween merchandise is our THING
There have been Halloween ears, shoes, clothing, toys, and so much more. And, we just found a NEW item in Disney World that is perfect for spooky season. 👻
We have some EXCITING news, people!!!!
EPCOT
After not hearing much about any celebrations planned for EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary — it looks like we FINALLY have some news! Disney recently released a sneak peek at some of the merchandise we can expect to see in the park, and now we know what limited-time eats and drinks are coming to EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary Celebration!
It’s hard to keep up with everything Disney has planned for the future, but that’s why we’re here — we keep up with ALL of it so that you don’t have to!
Disney World has a lot going on!
We learned about a lot of future projects for the company at the D23 Expo like new movies, shows, cruise ships, and a lot of plans for the theme parks. Disney World, in particular, had some pretty exciting potential plans shared, like an expansion for Magic Kingdom. But, those plans are pretty far off and not definite. So, let’s focus on what IS definite — what’s happening at Walt Disney World in the next few years? We’ve got it broken down for you! [Read more…]
