food IS a theme park
Say what you will about Disney Villains, but they’ve got good taste in food.Â

That’s according to an upcoming Disney Villains COOKBOOK, where the recipes and photos look so good that we honestly feel kinda bad drooling over them… .
Nowadays in Disney World, construction crews are as commonplace as Character Cavalcades!Â
A Look at the Tron Construction
With refurbishments and new developments taking place ALL over the parks and resorts, construction walls have become a frequent site. One prime example is Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where not only are the rooms getting a major Moana makeover, but the Monorail station is getting a serious overhaul of its own!
There is no shortage of construction projects going on around Walt Disney World as they prepare for the 50th-anniversary celebrations this year!
Magic Kingdom
This week was filled with more progress on some long-term projects that we’ve been keeping track of and we even got a surprise at the end of the week that answered our questions about some mystery construction we spotted back in March. So, let’s get to all the updates from this week!
When Disney first announced the Stitch Crashes Disney collection, it seemed like a really fun idea — every month, Disney would release some new collectibles featuring Stitch “crashing” some of Disney’s most iconic movies.

But after we saw some of the designs (scary red-eyed Stitch and spaghetti Stitch, we’re looking at you), we thought they were…well…interesting. Now don’t get us wrong, last month’s Stitch Crashes The Little Mermaid collection was adorable.
Even though it’s not opening until next year, we’re getting excited for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

This “hotel” is actually more of a 2-night experience, and it will throw guests straight into the middle of their very own Star Wars adventure. There will be cool restaurants, a lightsaber training experience, and SO much more. And it all sounds like a ton of fun!
We’ve had a great time at this year’s EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!
Cool new merch!
We’ve eaten our way around the food booths, participated in a lot of fun activities, enjoyed the topiaries, and have shopped our way around all the awesome merchandise!
In the grand scheme of things, it’s kinda wild that keys are the new Disney hotness.Â

From Cruella to Marvel to Star Wars, whimsical Disney keys have been popping up like wildflowers online, and now there’s a new collectible trinket coming SOON to shopDisney, in honor of one of the most classic Disneyland attractions!
Cast Members are often the reason your Disney vacation can be so magical!

They are vital to making the Disney Parks and Resorts operate smoothly and successfully. Around the time of the pandemic, many Cast Members were hit hard by the closures around the world and the massive furloughs and layoffs Disney made in 2020. Now that many parks are back up and operating, Cast Members deserve our appreciation more than ever!
An exciting new service will be making its way to Orlando International Airport!
Orlando International Airport
There are some exciting additions heading to Orlando International Airport. Of course, there’s the new Brightline train to Disney World that’s currently in the works. And we also recently learned that one of our FAVORITE Disney World restaurants will receive a location inside the airport soon! Speaking of awesome airport dining news, there’s another new option headed to Orlando International Airport in the future.
One of the big perks of Disney World’s Resorts is their impressively themed pools.
