food IS a theme park
All-Star Music Resort
We recently saw Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge reopen, and we’ve been to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out lots of updates there. Now, one more hotel that has been closed for quite some time is finally open to guests once again! Disney’s All-Star Music Resort has officially reopened, and we’re stopping by this spot to give you ALL the details you need to know.
Oogie Boogie Bash kicked off for the 2021 Halloween season in Disney California Adventure on September 9th, and we were there to check out all of the specialty food, entertainment, characters, and spooky vibes!

If you’re looking to sweeten your evening beyond all of that candy you’ll receive, there’s the Sonoma Terrace Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party! Party attendees can enjoy a selection of specialty cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and a variety of sweet treats, plus preferred parade viewing! So is this pricey extra worth the cost??
Everyone loves a Disney t-shirt, right? They’re perfect to wear for a day in Disney Parks, or even just a regular day at home for a touch of Disney magic.
T-Shirts
Sometimes, kids find typical t-shirts with itchy tags and seams uncomfortable, and they might feel left out if they can’t find a comfy Disney shirt to wear. But did you know that Disney has a sensory-friendly collection of t-shirts for kids? If you know a kid who would love a comfortable Disney t-shirt, here’s where you can find one!
The Crystal Palace has been open in Magic Kingdom for quite some time. But, since it reopened, this spot had been serving up a family-style menu, as opposed to its previous buffet offerings.
The Crystal Palace
But, slowly buffets have started to return to Disney World. Buffets are back at Biergarten in EPCOT, and now you can enjoy ALL of your favorites at Crystal Palace buffet-style once again! We stopped by this spot recently for lunch and now we’re bringing you a full review. Should you try the buffet at Crystal Palace? Here are our thoughts.
Yesterday (September 15th), the NEW Creations Shop opened in EPCOT.
Creations Shop
This shop is EPCOT’s new flagship store and the replacement for Mouse Gear. The shop was VERY popular yesterday, with many EPCOT fans rushing in to check out the new EPCOT-themed merchandise that is exclusive to this store (p.s. the new ears are AMAZING at night). But, what if you want to skip the checkout lines at this new and popular spot? Well, you can do that…if you know how!
In just a few weeks, Disney World turns 50 years old! And there is a HUGE celebration getting ready at the parks, especially at Magic Kingdom!
The 50th anniversary celebration starts soon!
Cinderella Castle already got a massive transformation, we’ve seen some golden touches added to Fantasyland, many of the 50th anniversary statues have started showing up, and even the popcorn boxes have been updated to a 50th anniversary design.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary will be here in just two weeks!!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen the parks getting ready for the big celebration by adding special new decorations like banners, signs, and a stage. Cinderella Castle also got a makeover and is ready for her birthday! 50 golden character statues are being added around the parks, too. We’ve seen statues pop up at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Animal Kingdom, and now, Hollywood Studios is joining in on the fun, and we think they’re the perfect place for park photos!
We’re just a few weeks away from the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Cinderella Castle is Ready for the 50th!
We’ve spotted 50th Anniversary golden statues in several of the parks, 50th Anniversary banners, and 50th Anniversary merchandise. Select guests were also able to get their hands on a special 50th Anniversary MagicBand! Now, more 50th Anniversary items have arrived, but only a select group of guests will be able to bring them home.
Remember that really cute Tangled-inspired cottage we looked at earlier this week?

We’re still hung up on the idea of staying in a Disney-themed house. And now we’ve found one that’s perfect for fans of Winnie the Pooh! Don’t worry, there are no Heffalumps or Woozles at this quaint house.
Congrats, my friends! You’ve just hit the big time! What are you going to do now that you’re rich and famous?

Go to Disney, of course! But remember — things look very different in Disney World when money is NO OBJECT!
