We’ve seen all kinds of new merchandise for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary.
50th Merchandise at World of Disney
There are several different collections coming out just for the event, with new Minnie ears, tumblers, and more! Around the parks, we’ve seen the snacks get in on the action too, with 50th-themed popcorn boxes in the Magic Kingdom. Now there’s going to be even MORE new items, and you can find them at all the Disney World resorts.
Quite a few changes have been made at several of Disney World’s hotels recently.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Guest rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort have received a Moana-inspired makeover. The rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have received an update, and some rooms at Disney’s Contemporary Resort have been re-themed to the Incredibles. Now, we’ve got a FIRST LOOK at some new rooms that will be coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
Disney announced the new MagicMobile service earlier this year.

This service is on your smartphone (through the My Disney Experience app), and it works like a MagicBand. With the MagicMobile, you can use your phone (or other smart device like an Apple watch) to enter the Disney parks, link PhotoPass photos, and more. On the app, you can choose from different designs and customize your pass. And Disney just released a BUNCH of new designs just for the 50th Anniversary!
Halloween season is here! And we LOVE this time of year at Disney World — the spooky decor is up, the fun Halloween merchandise is out, and the wickedly wonderful treats have arrived!
MuppetVision 3D is spookier today!
We’re also ready for all the great Halloween content coming to Disney+, ESPECIALLY the Muppets Haunted Mansion special, which we’ve been excited about since it was first announced! But, this special is also crashing an attraction at Disney World!
Earlier this year, Disney World released a lot of details about the new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel).
