food IS a theme park
How would you like to start your day hanging out with THIS little guy?
Baby Yoda Loungefly Mini Backpack
Well, there’s a way you can… because The Child Mug that we recently spotted on shopDisney has floated into Disney World merchandise shops! [Read more…]
We hadn’t seen ANY new souvenir popcorn buckets since Disney World reopened — until today.
Refilled Bucket
We were in Hollywood Studios today checking out the glitz and glamor when we spotted something pretty interesting. The FIRST new souvenir popcorn bucket since Disney World reopened has arrived in the parks. And…well…we think it may have gotten a little lost on the way here.
Many Disneyland Resort auditions have been canceled or suspended since the theme park closed in March.
Black Panther Meet and Greet
Walt Disney World reopened last month while Disneyland Resort has seen several delays in reopening. Despite this, Disneyland has continued with construction on the highly-anticipated Avengers Campus. We recently noticed a new audition post that indicates the theme parks could be preparing for some Marvel-themed entertainment! [Read more…]
We’ve seen lots, and we mean LOTS of gorgeous new Minnie ears released lately.
Emerald Minnie Ears
But if your wallet is crying from all the new ears and new Halloween merch you bought recently, you may be looking to grab some Minnie ears at a discount. We found some ears that are a steal! Well…kinda.
Disney World diners, we’ve got some fun news!
The Wave…of American Flavors Entrance
Just last week Disney World launched a new Mobile Dine feature in the My Disney Experience app with the Walk-up Waitlist. This feature lets guests join a waitlist from their phones for select Disney World resort restaurants. Now, THREE more locations have been added to the feature — and they’re ALL in Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has no shortage of great places to eat! And with Tambu Lounge officially reopened, guests now have even more options when choosing where to eat at the Poly.
Capt. Cook’s
But this trip, we’re scoping out Capt. Cook’s — the resort’s resident quick-service option. This spot offers up standard burgers, breakfast fare (we see you, Tonga Toast!), flatbreads, late-night snacks, and more — as well as more unique island-inspired dishes! We already swung (ok, more like RAN) by when we noticed that Pulled Pork Nachos were back on their menu! We wondered what other surprises would be in store for us this time… .
Disney World looks pretty different than it did back when it opened in 1971.
The Imagination Pavilion
Over the years, Disney has added three more parks, two water parks, and a TON of new attractions. Still, the World as a whole doesn’t just look different — a few iconic attractions look pretty different too! We’re taking a look at some of the BIGGEST attraction renovations in Disney history! Do you remember the VERY different OG versions of these rides? Let’s find out!
As some folks are soaking in those final few moments of summer, others have boldly moved on to one of the most celebrated times of the year — FALL! Disney World is starting to set the scene for the next couple of months, but we all know that it isn’t fall until we have a good ol’ Pumpkin Spice Latte in our hands.
Main Street U.S.A.
That’s right, the arrival of autumn means the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte! Starbucks is gearing up to release the wildly popular drink nationwide tomorrow (even though we’ve already sipped on some pumpkin goodness in Disney World!), and to celebrate, they created their own PSL Hotline!
Over the past week or so we have heralded the arrival of pumpkin-flavored EVERYTHING, including the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks.
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
But Halloween may ALREADY need to watch its back, because Santa is looming in the shadows, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. And if you’ve been to The Market at Ale & Compass at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort since the hotel’s reopening, you may already know that Christmas has quietly crept onto Disney World property…and it’s only August!
As of August 24th, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort has officially reopened to guests!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Oh, how we’ve missed the atmosphere of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort! Now that the hotel has welcomed back guests, we wanted to see how things are running. So we stopped by to take a look at Disney’s most recently reopened hotel!
