food IS a theme park
From a Brain Cupcake(!)Â to all kinds of pumpkin spice flavored treats, we’ve had a LOT of Halloween and fall snacks all around Disney World.
Brain Cupcake!
But, the fun ain’t over yet! A little while ago, we shared that more treats were headed to the Disney World hotels and Disney Springs, and we recently got the chance to try one a SUPER LIMITED TIME treat that’s now available at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Listen. 2020 has been a WILD ride. There have been times when even the animatronics wanna throw in the towel and fast-forward to 2021. We found something today that really brightened up our day, year, and possibly entire life.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We wandered over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to grab a cold one and take in the view of Seven Seas Lagoon. We expected it to be a typical day at the Poly with construction updates and possibly eat a new treat. We did NOT expect to be swept off our feet with the return of an INCREDIBLE coconut cup.
We are incredibly excited for the premiere of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, coming in just a few days!

You can celebrate with all kinds of Mandalorian goodies and now there’s even MORE Mandalorian merchandise coming soon as part of #MandoMondays!
A fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom has been closed for far, far too long.
Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover closed a few days prior to the parks’ closures in March and has yet to reopen. Since then, refurbishment end dates have been announced, extended, and rescinded. Now, there has been another extension.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian officially kicks off on Disney+ this Friday.

And you know what that means…MORE Baby Yoda merch. We honestly didn’t think that was even possible, since Baby Yoda is literally everywhere!!
A number of things have changed at Disney World since the park closures earlier this year.
Crescent Lake Friendship Boat
One thing that’s been rather different has been transportation. Disney buses have a new loading and seating procedure, there are dividers and other safety measures in place in the Monorails, and the EPCOT monorail is not available. The Friendship Boats that take guests at certain resorts to and from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are also not available at the moment…but they will be soon!
There are quite a few construction projects going on around Disney World, and we’ve been keeping an eye on all of them, including the changes going on to the Magic Kingdom entrance sign.

But now, a NEW construction project has announced that will affect some of the most iconic signs at Walt Disney World!
If you haven’t been on Rise of the Resistance recently, you might notice some changes the next time you get on. Spot the difference?
Rise of the Resistance
Okay, okay, we’ll tell you. We recently learned that Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge would be receiving an update including some plexiglass barriers. Now, these barriers have officially arrived.
The travel industry has had to deal with months of cancellations and shifts due to the global health crisis.

We’ve been keeping up with all of the trip suspensions and updates to policies over at Adventures by Disney. Now, those changes are extending all the way into 2021 and, in some cases, 2022.Â
The Disney Castle Collection has been wowing us with beautiful merchandise for the past few months now.

Each collection includes a figure, a notebook, an ornament, a collectible pin, and a puzzle; ALL inspired by a certain Disney Castle. We’ve seen Cinderella’s Castle, Mulan’s Castle, and the Frozen Castle. Now, it’s the OG princess’s turn.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
