food IS a theme park
Of all the changes at Disney World this year, the one that we’ve loved the most might be the character cavalcades!
Mickey at EPCOT
Seeing Mickey and friends riding through the World Showcase or spotting our favorite princesses headed down Magic Kingdom’s parade route really helps us to feel the magic in the parks. We especially enjoy watching the unique holiday cavalcades around the parks, and post-Christmas, one of them got a switch-up!
Another week has gone by and we’ve gotten some BIG news out of Disney World and Disneyland!
Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies
You may have read our post rejoicing over the opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs, but did you hear that dates for EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival have been announced for 2021 or hear that one of Disney’s water parks will be opening soon? There are a bunch of new things you’ll want to check out during your next Disney trip — whether that’s to Disney World or Disneyland (when it reopens at some point in the future), and we’re breaking down 5 of those today!
There’s a reason that EPCOT is often known as a foodie park…because there are SO MANY delicious food options!
Spaceship Earth
Whether you’re heading to the American Adventure to get some barbecue, over to France for some yummy pastries, or stopping by Japan for some fun snacks in the Mitsukoshi store, there are snacks for every taste in the World Showcase. Now, another snack option has returned to EPCOT for a limited time, and it’s a big one for pizza fans!
2020 has been a BIG year for Disney merchandise!

With the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection, LOADS of Star Wars and Baby Yoda merchandise, and what seems like 1000 new pairs of Minnie ears, there’s definitely been no shortage of products for Disney fans. Now, as the year wraps up, the latest items to check out are in Disney’s Reigning Cats and Dogs Collection. This collection is made for Disney fans who love their pets, and now it’s arrived online for everyone to shop!

We’ve been keeping track of all the France pavilion construction updates. The EPCOT expansion is getting for its debut and the attraction will open next year for guests to experience. Disney has given a peek inside the attraction and a closer look at the expanded pavilion!
The Christmas rush is almost over and we’re FINALLY heading into the New Year!
Liberty Belle Riverboat at Magic Kingdom
Say goodbye to 2020! (We won’t miss you. Like at all.) You might be welcoming 2021 at Disney World this week. It could get busy as the remaining holiday crowds linger to ring in the New Year. We’re here to help you plan with our weekly refurbishment updates! Let’s recap with everything that’s closed for refurbishment between December 28th through January 3rd, 2021!
2020 has been the year of 1 million Minnie ears, and it seems like 2021 is going to continue that trend!
2021 Minnie Ears
Just recently, we’ve seen Cornflower Blue, Champagne, 2021, and fireworks-themed Minnie ears, not to mention the dozens of other pairs we’ve shopped in the Disney parks and online throughout the rest of this year. Now, we have a sneak peek at one of the new pairs coming next year, and they’re made to match a new attraction!
We’re pretty sure that food tastes better when you make it with Mickey kitchenware! And, Disney released a new kitchen collection on shopDisney so you never have to make a meal without a Disney flare!

From serving bowls with hidden mickeys all over to an adorable Disney “Home” mug, there are TONS of new kitchen items that feature neutral colors and remind us that there’s no place like h🏰me!
