It’s Halloween-o-ween, everybody! (10 points if you know that reference!)
It’s Halloween!
Disney is celebrating Halloween in some BIG ways, with major celebrations in the parks and the return of Halloween on the High Seas for Disney Cruise Line. If spooky season is your fave, then it’s time to do that Disney vacay! And for those heading on a Halloween Disney trip soon, we’ve got a souvenir update for you.
One of the most fun things you can do in Disneyland is meet characters!
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
Now, Disneyland characters are NEXT LEVEL in Disneyland, and you’ll often just see them roaming around. Some also have set meet-and-greet spots, but there are almost always surprise character appearances, too. Well, we recently learned about some brand NEW characters coming to Disneyland, and we had an opportunity to meet one of them recently: Isabela from Encanto!

The program, known as Disney Aspire, has provided tuition assistance to thousands of Cast Members since 2018 across Disney World and Disneyland. Since it debuted, Disney Aspire has provided 100% upfront tuition coverage for certain schools along with other benefits. Soon, that will be changing.
Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney World Resorts can transport you to a whole new world, and the Polynesian Resort is the perfect example of this! Nestled on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon lies a tropical paradise within Disney World. This resort is one of the three resorts located on the Resort Monorail Line, making it an accessible resort to stop at on your way to or from the Magic Kingdom.
A LOT is happening over in Disneyland, and yes, that means there’s a LOT of construction.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland
First, Haunted Mansion is getting a brand-new queue and shop, and although the ride is currently open as Haunted Mansion Holiday, construction around it is ongoing. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is getting closer to its November opening date. Critter Country will be renamed Bayou Country and will be getting a re-themed restaurant, Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. Well, we just visited Disneyland recently to check out all the progress on these projects, and they are really coming right along!
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially started!
Food and Wine Festival
EPCOT was festival-less all summer, so we were super excited to have one of our favorite festivals back! We have been covering the Food and Wine Festival for 15 years, and we have learned a thing or two during that time. Each year, we try so many different dishes that you would think we lose track of our favorites, but trust us, we dream about some of the dishes we try at the Food and Wine Festival.Â

Magic Kingdom is home to many iconic attractions, but one of the most notable is Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Located in Adventureland, this ride was originally built and themed after regular pirates and their adventures, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise we all know (and some of us love) was actually inspired BY the ride! Like any popular ride, it has its issues every now and then with breaking down, but there is ONE rule many Cast Members who have worked on this ride are begging you not to break.
