food IS a theme park
We’ve spent a LOT of money on Disney accessories over the years. Maybe even an embarrassing amount.
Time to do some shopping!
With collections of Minnie ears, Loungefly backpacks, hats, and more, the members of our team are certainly not underdressed for Disney-themed celebrations. But now, we’re all collectively ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the latest must-have item to arrive in the Disney Store.
There’s a NEW Disney+ perk that could change the streaming game.

For years now, a culture has developed around streaming services — including Disney+ — where people would subscribe to services when a series they wanted to watch was about to premiere — say, Agatha All Along — and then would unsubscribe when the series’ current run ended. However, Disney is now introducing a new feature that gives these types of subscribers another option.
It’s the holiday season! And when it comes to holiday shopping, it can be stressful!

2025 is less than two months away — it’s time to BOOK those trips!

You may think that your chosen Disney World hotel will have plenty of availability months in advance, but that’s not the case for some more popular Disney World travel dates. In fact, we’ve seen certain types of hotel rooms at select hotels sell out MONTHS in advance, especially at Value Resorts or hotels with a limited number of certain types of rooms. If you’re planning a trip during any of these 2025 dates, you’ll want to book them ASAP!
Did you know that November 18th marks a very special day in Disney history?
Mickey and Minnie!
It’s the first time that Mickey and Minnie were seen together on screen in Steamboat Willie! The short premiered on November 18th, 1928, and so every year on November 18th, we celebrate the day they debuted. If you’re looking to treat yourself on this exciting day (and honestly, we think every day is a celebration), we’ve got some ideas!
Happy birthday, Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

Did you know that November 18th marks Mickey and Minnie’s birthdays? While the date for Mickey’s birthday changed several times, November 18th is the date determined, and that has become accepted as his and Minnie’s birthdays. Other dates that were considered were October 1st, the day Walt first began drawing Mickey, as well as the dates when he debuted in his first and second films, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin’ Gaucho, both of which were never distributed. Thus, Walt Disney Archives founder Dave Smith determined the public premiere of Steamboat Willie to be the couple’s official birthday. Now, every year on this day, a special surprise occurs in Disney World to mark the momentous occasion.
Drink up, me hearties! A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is coming to Magic Kingdom and we’re looking forward to coming ashore for some grub.
An all-new lounge themed to Pirates of the Caribbean will open at Magic Kingdom in 2025.

So far, Disney hasn’t shared too many details about what we can expect from this new lounge, but we do know it will serve drinks and some light bites. What sort of drinks and light bites remains to be seen, but there is one Disney restaurant that might give us an idea!
If you’re planning your next vacation, you might be trying to decide which airline to use.
Orlando International Airport
There are so many options out there these days, from budget airlines to more luxury offerings, and they all come with different amenities, rules, and flight times. If you’re looking to fly on the cheap, one of the most popular choices is Spirit Airlines…but now they’ve run into some problems.
We are huge supporters of planning ahead for your Disney World trip, but what about planning ahead by over 20 years?
