Dole Whip!
In a land of iconic treats, there are inevitably going to be some worthwhile hits, and some…meh? To really dig in, we conducted a scientific study (aka conducted an Instagram poll) to determine the most underrated and overrated snacks in Disney World!Â

The Imagineers hide these gems in attractions, restaurants, and resorts. Look up and you’ll find an advertisement in a shop window on Main Street, U.S.A. that’s named after an Imagineer. Or, look down and you’ll see seashells placed into the pavement outside of Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid (maybe by Ariel, herself?). There are so many thoughtful secrets to be found! We’re highlighting some of Disney World’s best-hidden secrets in the parks and beyond!

We already have seen updates about the new Cars Route 66 Road Trip attraction at Walt Disney Studios Park and a bit from their Avengers Campus, and now there are two NEW refurb updates from France!
Few people know how to bring the merriment of the holiday season better than a Disney princess!

And even though Enchanted Tales with Belle has yet to reopen at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, you can STILL share the holiday spirit with this beauty and hear her tell you a story, thanks to the internet, of course
In case you missed it, MagicBands will NOT be free to Disney resort hotel guests in the new year.
Limited Edition 2021 MagicBand
And while that may throw a wrench in some people’s plans, it also means that there’s more freedom to buy the MagicBand of your choosing beyond just feeling compelled to use a solid pink or gray one.
Even when you can’t make it to the theme parks, there are still PLENTY of ways to bring Disney World magic into your home, like by making some iconic Disney snacks and treats.

Homemade cheeseburger pods
And you know what makes those homemade Baby Yoda macarons and homemade Disneyland peppermint marshmallow wands taste even sweeter? Making them (or storing them) using Disney kitchen accessories!
Something NEW has washed ashore at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
‘Olu Mel is the newest addition to the Duffy and Friends gang at Disney Parks. The whole group has been seen on merchandise like Loungefly backpacks and (slightly creepy) headbands. The cutie pie turtle is now the star of his very own Loungefly backpack!
2020 is about to get a whole lot better with the (soft) opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs!

With delicious baked goods and fun offerings like hot cookie hour, you can’t really blame us for being this excited! With the news that Gideon’s Bakehouse would be offering holiday cookies THIS YEAR, we knew that an opening date or at least a soft opening date was coming soon, and now we know exactly when that exciting day will be!
