food IS a theme park
Hello to all our DFB friends!
To infinity and beyond!
There is SO much going on at Disney World right now — Halloween, the 50th Anniversary Celebration, Christmas (!!!), and more! But we’re making our rounds around the parks, including Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so let’s check out what’s been going on there since we last visited!
Disney World has a few different collections of souvenirs for their 50th Anniversary.
LOTS of merchandise!
They can be found at various locations around the parks, but in the Magic Kingdom you’ll find the Celebration and Castle collections over in the Emporium gift shop. The Vault Collection — which has all kinds of vintage items — is at the Main Street Cinema on Main Street, U.S.A. Two more vintage souvenirs just made their way into the Magic Kingdom, and if you love all things old-school Disney, you’ll definitely want to check them out.
Who’s ready to do some online shopping?!

We don’t like to brag, but we’re pretty good at finding hidden Mickeys in Disney World.
Hidden Mickey in Italy
We’ve spotted some hidden Mickeys that are super tricky to find, one that can only be seen for a few seconds at a time, and even one that you will likely never find in the parks again. But the one that we saw recently is actually pretty obvious — if you know where to look, that is!
When Disney World does things right, they REALLY do things right.
Castle views = perfection
But man, when Disney misses…sometimes they miss by a mile. We found a new 50th Anniversary souvenir in the Magic Kingdom one day that seemed a little off to us, for a couple of reasons. The new item is…well…you’ve just got to see it for yourself. [Read more…]
Halloween is a VERY big deal at Disneyland, and when it comes to doing the spooky season right, Disneyland is in the “go big or go home” category!
Happy Halloween!
From the fun decorations in BOTH parks to a huge variety of snacks to the Oogie Boogie Bash, Halloween season at Disneyland resort is always a lot of fun. AND speaking of spooky snacks…
There’s a lot of fun PhotoPass opportunities around Disney World.
Zoomed Out Super Zoom Shot
Disney PhotoPass also takes special “Magic Shots” that usually add in a character or prop for a special photo. There are 50th anniversary Magic Shots, Tiny World Magic Shots, and even Super Zoom shots that let you get a Birdseye view of a Disney Park. There’s a new one in Magic Kingdom so let’s check it out!
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing actual Disney princesses perform live, you NEED to hear about Disney Princess – The Concert.
