food IS a theme park
Let’s be real, our phones are basically our Disney World survival kits these days.
Magic Kingdom
They’re our cameras, our wallets, our park tickets, our room keys — shoot, they even hold our precious dining reservations! So when that battery dips, it can feel like a piece of you just died with it. So what do you do when your phone decides to kick the bucket right in the middle of your Disney day and your phone charger is nowhere in sight? Let’s talk about it!
Disney World is celebrating 25 years of Pooh.
The original facade of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Disney
Disney recently released a slew of rare throwback photos celebrating the 25th birthday of the Magic Kingdom’s Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction. Despite feeling like a Fantasyland staple, this dark ride only debuted on June 4th, 1999. The controversial attraction… Wait, did we just say controversial? About Winnie the Pooh? How could that be? Let’s find out.
Summertime is here, meaning most of us are looking for nice, cool drinks to refresh us while we’re out in the sun!

Mint Juleps are iconic offerings over at Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square in Disneyland, and the Green Tea Mint Julep has also been available at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival in years past, and now, you can learn how to make your own at home!
The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser may have closed in 2023, but it’s still a hot topic of conversation in 2024.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The hotel was a one-of-its-kind interactive experience where Star Wars fans could live out their own Star Wars stories. That experience included meeting unique characters, getting a chance to help fly a starship, lightsaber training, exclusive food and drinks, and so much more. It also meant access to exclusive souvenirs, but we’ve seen some of that merchandise end up online. Now, we’ve got ANOTHER exclusive Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser souvenir to share with you that you can get online.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!

Walt Disney World has another refillable mug problem.
Resort Refillable Mugs
Anyone who has stayed at a Walt Disney World hotel is likely familiar with the refillable mugs sold at the resort. However, just in case you need a refresher, Disney World hotels offer Resort Refillable Mugs for you to purchase and use for FREE refills throughout your vacation. They are 16 oz. insulated coffee mugs, typically sold at each Disney hotel at the resort’s primary Counter Service location. You are entitled to unlimited free refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea from participating beverage locations at Disney resorts for your length of stay — up to 14 days.Â
These mugs can be a great way to save if you drink a lot of soda or coffee, but you need to watch out for a couple of potential PROBLEMS!
Although there are tons of cute Disney souvenirs at Disney World, some of my favorite items actually come from other sources, like Target and Amazon! (It definitely helps that they’re usually cheaper than the items in the parks, too.)
Target
Recently, I spotted this amazing Mickey home decor item, and I seriously need like 12 of them for my apartment.
The day is finally here! We’re at Disney’s newest island destination Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point!

Among some of the sneak peeks we were able to take of the island and all its spectacular offerings is a look at the exclusive merchandise available for purchase. Curious to see what they are? Well, jump on board cause we’re showing you all the incredible merch available at this all-new Disney island paradise!
