food IS a theme park
With the 50th Anniversary in full swing, the Halloween festivities, and the holidays just around the corner, there’s a LOT going on at Disney World right now!
The Liberty Belle in Magic Kingdom
With so many big things going on, it can be hard to see all the small stuff happening at the parks, but that’s why we’re here! Recently, we noticed some slight changes to the Disney World park hours for select dates in October and November.
We’re a little traumatized by M&Ms from our experience with the fleshy-colored ones earlier today.
M&M’s Store
But Disney wasn’t done yet with the unique M&M’s! We headed over to the OTHER Disney World spot where you can get all kinds of different M&M’s to try out a new flavor that’s available now.
Hello to all our DFB friends!
To infinity and beyond!
There is SO much going on at Disney World right now — Halloween, the 50th Anniversary Celebration, Christmas (!!!), and more! But we’re making our rounds around the parks, including Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so let’s check out what’s been going on there since we last visited!
Disney World has a few different collections of souvenirs for their 50th Anniversary.
LOTS of merchandise!
They can be found at various locations around the parks, but in the Magic Kingdom you’ll find the Celebration and Castle collections over in the Emporium gift shop. The Vault Collection — which has all kinds of vintage items — is at the Main Street Cinema on Main Street, U.S.A. Two more vintage souvenirs just made their way into the Magic Kingdom, and if you love all things old-school Disney, you’ll definitely want to check them out.
Another week has passed and (as usual) more news has been shared about Disney World and Disneyland’s resorts, attractions, and more!
Magic Kingdom
This week we’ve got some important holiday updates (yes, holiday news in October!), news about 1-night stays at Disney World hotels, and much more. Let’s dive into the top Disney news stories you might have missed from this past week.
We don’t like to brag, but we’re pretty good at finding hidden Mickeys in Disney World.
Hidden Mickey in Italy
We’ve spotted some hidden Mickeys that are super tricky to find, one that can only be seen for a few seconds at a time, and even one that you will likely never find in the parks again. But the one that we saw recently is actually pretty obvious — if you know where to look, that is!
When Disney World does things right, they REALLY do things right.
Castle views = perfection
But man, when Disney misses…sometimes they miss by a mile. We found a new 50th Anniversary souvenir in the Magic Kingdom one day that seemed a little off to us, for a couple of reasons. The new item is…well…you’ve just got to see it for yourself. [Read more…]
There’s a lot of fun PhotoPass opportunities around Disney World.
Zoomed Out Super Zoom Shot
Disney PhotoPass also takes special “Magic Shots” that usually add in a character or prop for a special photo. There are 50th anniversary Magic Shots, Tiny World Magic Shots, and even Super Zoom shots that let you get a Birdseye view of a Disney Park. There’s a new one in Magic Kingdom so let’s check it out!
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing actual Disney princesses perform live, you NEED to hear about Disney Princess – The Concert.

In this live production, stars from Broadway and Disney’s animated films perform Disney Princess songs and share behind-the-scenes stories from their time portraying princesses “on the stage and screen.” There are performances happening all over the country next year, but soon you could meet some of the stars of the show in person in Disney World! Here’s how to do it.
Happy spooky season, everyone!
Boo to you and you and you and you!
Despite Disney already decorating for Christmas (seriously?!), it is still Halloween time. We’ve been celebrating by trick-or-treating at Boo Bash, checking out a ton of festive merchandise, and by eating SO MANY spooky sweets! And, we’re not done — there are still more new Halloween-themed food items for us to try. So, come along with us as we try a treat over in Disney Springs!
