It was announced that the Disney Adventure, Disney’s mega-ship that they acquired partially finished in 2022, will set sail on December 15th, 2025, out of Singapore! This new ship is unlike any ship in the fleet. Of course, no cruise is complete without food, and Disney Cruise Line is known for its good eats!

As we get closer to the end of the Halloween season, The Walt Disney Company is already prepping for the holiday season. With Thanksgiving not far away, Disney recently announced its NEWEST Disney Cruise Line Float coming to this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and we’re here to share with you all the festive details!
There are some iconic Disney souvenirs out there, ones that people collect each time they take a trip, like ears, Loungefly bags, spirit jerseys, pins, and more.
Tons of merchandise!
However, there are other Disney souvenirs that are more of a once-in-a-lifetime things, even for guests who visit more often. Two of the most common examples of this are building a droid or a lightsaber over in Hollywood Studios‘ Galaxy’s Edge. While these experiences are fantastic, especially for Star Wars fans, there are a few problems with them, especially those massive Lightsabers.Â
Yeah, Disney has been busy dropping some serious news bombs recently. We’ve learned more about Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure. We learned about a NEW Lightning Lane Premier Pass that will be available soon. We even learned about a new paid program for Disney Vacation Club members to get even MORE perks.
