food IS a theme park
It may seem like it’s harder and harder to find an “off” season at Disney World in terms of crowds, but late January is usually a safer bet if you’re looking for slower days in the parks.

After the holiday season and Walt Disney World Marathon weekend winds down, you can look to Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability to see that now may be a good week to visit!
Disney has released a LOT of 50th Anniversary merchandise!
Magic Kingdom
From a 50th Anniversary adult coloring book to a 50th Anniversary board game, it seems there’s something for everyone. Now, we spotted another piece of 50th Anniversary merch you might want to bring home (but it’ll cost you!).
So much of the fun in visiting Disney Parks is getting a chance to see the characters come to life through meet and greets.

Although meet and greets have changed a bit over the last few years, they are back at the parks! When it comes to characters, though, Disneyland Resort has A TON you’ll only ever get to meet there!

In 2021, the starring character of the monthly collection was Stitch with the Stitch Crashes Disney collection, which gave us some…well, memorable…versions of Stitch crashing Disney movies (oh, Spaghetti Stitch, we’ll never forget you). Well, 2022 is bringing us a Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection and we’ve got a first look at the first collection in this series!
If you’ve never visited Disneyland Resort, you’re missing out on some AMAZING food.
