food IS a theme park
February is Black History Month and there are a bunch of ways to celebrate in Disney World!
Soul Mural
Disney’s Celebrate Soulfully event is back this year and will feature special entertainment and merchandise collections in Disney Springs, new sweet treats, and special viewings of movies like Soul and Remember the Titans. And today, we got to try out one of the new sweet treats over in Animal Kingdom!
Disney is now selling rats online.
Look at those little rats!
Don’t freak out — they’re just Ratatouille character plushes! Actually, they’re Wishables, which Disney has been making a TON of recently. We’ve seen Disney Princess Wishables, Enchanted Tiki Room Wishables, The Lion King Wishables, and more! They’re a fun souvenir to collect, and now Ratatouille fans can get in on the fun!
Did anyone else pick up baking as a hobby in the last couple of years?
Baguette in EPCOT
The Disney princesses make it look so easy, but somehow our treats never come out looking as good as Tiana’s beignets, Rapunzel’s pies, or Julieta’s arepas. What’s up with that? Maybe we just need a little more Disney magic to help us out. Good thing we spotted a NEW line of home goods that will transform your kitchen into a Disney paradise! [Read more…]
If you’re heading to EPCOT today, we’ve got some attraction news that could affect your plans!
Spaceship Earth
Rides can close down unexpectedly in Disney World for a wide variety of reasons, and unfortunately, guests can’t always prepare ahead of time for these closures. One popular attraction at EPCOT is closing early today and we’re sharing all the information you need to know!
Disney World is a POWERHOUSE when it comes to cranking out new merchandise and treats! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Disney proves you wrong. We’re not complaining, though! From the tiniest little additions to the BIG construction updates, it’s always fun to see what’s new in the Magic Kingdom.
2022 is FLYING by!
We’re in Disney World pretty much ALL the time, so we figured we’d share a little update on what’s new! Let’s take a look at what we found in the Magic Kingdom this week!
Disney World is all chicken tenders, fries, burgers, churros, and ice cream sandwiches, right? WRONG. VERY, VERY WRONG.
🎶 Out of the sun, we’ll be havin’ some fun…🎶 you know the rest
Sure, we love ourselves a good funnel cake or giant Mickey waffle, but if you’re looking for a more elevated dining experience (we’re talking Pork Belly, Seafood Pearl Pasta, and more!) then we’ve found just the place for you. It can fall under the radar for most folks though. Have you stopped by to eat at this somewhat hidden BoardWalk spot? Should you make it a must-do on your next trip? We’ve got THOUGHTS.
Remember how Disney Stores used to have a mountain of stuffed animals piled up in the back?! Those were the good ol’ days.
Disney Store
Even though there’s no longer a mountain of plushes, there are still a ton of plushes available from Disney! In the parks, we find all sorts of characters from Minnie and Mickey to Stitch to Pua from Moana. Disney has also started making weighted plushes that have the same general idea as weighted blankets — to help comfort people. We’ve only been able to get these weighted plushes on Disney property or on shopDisney, but now they’re available at a popular store you can find all over the country!
Eleven countries. Countless festival eats. Literal SPACE dining. EPCOT isn’t just a park that lets you travel the world; it’s also a park full of unique eats and drinks.
Spaceship Earth
But not everything can be a winner – even in EPCOT.
UPDATE: The collection is available online now, and select items will be available on shopDisney on February 18th at 3AM EST. Select items will also be available in Disney World on February 18th.
We love when brands collaborate with Disney to bring us fun products!
Alice in Wonderland Dooneys
Dooney & Bourke makes a TON of Disney bags, we’ve seen Vera Wang make a few pairs of ears, and we love the cute creations that BaubleBar comes up with. Last year, we saw Stoney Clover Lane do a collaboration with Disney that was extremely popular, and there’s about to be another Disney collection from the brand!
If you’re going to Disney World in February, you’re in for some fun!
Magic Kingdom
There are things coming back that we haven’t seen since before the parks shut down, as well as NEW things happening, and it’s almost time for the sweetest holiday of the year. It’s also a time that’s typically slower than other times of the year and has milder weather, so it’s a great month to visit in! Let’s get into the BEST things to do in Disney World in February.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
