food IS a theme park
As we’ve been reporting recently, Disney has been KILLING it with the amazing merchandise! From light-up accessories to jewelry, Disney has really embraced the food trend. What can we say, we are loving it!
‘But first, churros!’ Necklace
Well, today in the Emporium in Magic Kingdom, reporter @Jasond30 found some great additions — including a Dining Plan t-shirt!
Our recent visit to Hollywood Studios included lots of construction walls — we’ll update you on the Skyliner Station, New Bus Stations, Park Entrance Area Construction, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Construction — but that isn’t all! We’ve also got updates from the Shops and Stores in the park.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Guitar
First thing we noticed? It looks like the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has had an update. The Hanes logo used to be on the guitar pick on the ride’s iconic guitar, but now there is some artwork on the guitar pick instead.
As Epcot enters into the closing week of the Festival of the Arts (you have until February 25 to enjoy this Festival), they are already getting ready for the upcoming Flower and Garden Festival with some special landscaping!
Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Landscaping
One of the most popular pieces of landscaping for the Flower and Garden Festival is taking shape around the lakes between Future World and the World Showcase!
We spotted TONS of new merch in Hollywood Studios this week. From MORE adorable phone cases (you can check out the awesome Kitchen Kabaret phone case we found in Disney Springs here!) to Disney art direct from the WonderGround Gallery, we’ve rounded it all up for you!
New Merchandise in Hollywood Studios
First up, the newest addition to your Disney mug collection (because can you ever have too many? ????). We found this SUPER CUTE Dumbo mug!
February is the month we celebrate LOVE… and there is plenty to love when it comes to the latest merchandise we’re spotting around Epcot!
You can declare that “True Love Conquers All” with this double-sided Alex & Ani charm on the new bracelet in honor of the 60th Anniversary of Sleeping Beauty.

Raise your hand if you’re guilty of stalking the Contempo Cafe pastry case for new cupcakes! Recently, we’ve loved the Churro Cupcake and the Millenial Pink Cupcake.
In fact, it has been a few months since we went to Contempo Cafe for something other than a cupcake! But when I stopped by today (yes, for a cupcake) I noticed something new to me on the menu: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. Well, twist my arm – I just had to order it.
But, don’t worry… I found a fun cupcake too. 😉 Read on to find out more!
The monorail and the Mary Blair Mural at Contempo Cafe
The Grilled Cheese is made with three cheeses – Fontina, Monterrey Jack, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herb – and is on Sourdough Bread. It is served with Tomato Bisque and your choice of fries, homemade chips, or veggie slaw. I opted for the homemade chips.
Oh, my fellow classic EPCOT fans… this one’s for you. And me. And, like, everyone on my gift list this year who might appreciate the beauty of this Kitchen Kabaret phone case!
Kitchen Kabaret Phone Case
You can find it, currently, at D-Tech on Demand in the Disney Springs Marketplace Co-op. Note that there are other D-Tech merchandise locations around Disney World, but — even with stopping at two others — we couldn’t find this case outside of Disney Springs for now. [Read more…]
The Pineapple-Whip Swirl Cupcake — or, as we’ve been referring to it, the Dole Whip Cupcake — at Intermission Food Court at Disney World’s All Star Music is something of a two-for-one treat.

Take the flavor of the beloved Pineapple and Vanilla Swirl Dole Whip, and combine it with a cupcake! [Read more…]
in Disney World’s All Star Music Resort is showing some evidence that Princess Aurora’s fairy godmothers may have been near…
Princess Aurora Cupcakes in the bakery case
The telltale signs are on the Princess Aurora Cupcake in honor of Sleeping Beauty, which you’ll currently spot as the current Cupcake of the Month in the bakery case!
Clearly, Flora wanted the icing to be pink, while Merryweather wanted it to be blue, and here is the stunning result! [Read more…]
