food IS a theme park
You’re jokin’! You’re jokin’! It must be almost Fall!

This week, Magic Kingdom started to slowly resemble Halloween Town now that many of the residents from Nightmare Before Christmas have just moved in (in plush form!)
We’ve seen a bunch of new Haunted Mansion-themed merchandise lately including a SPOOKY spirit jersey, throw blanket, dress, puzzle, and even Crocs!
Haunted Mansion
But the item that REALLY caught our eye was the new set of Haunted Mansion Wallpaper Minnie ears we saw debut on shopDisney earlier this week!
The current global situation has brought about a number of changes in and around Walt Disney World, including the need to wear masks in the parks and required temperature screenings.
Temperature Screening
We’ve shared with you that the people we’re most worried about in Disney World right now are the Cast Members. Starting today, Disney Cast Members wanting to be tested for coronavirus will actually be able to get tested on Disney World property, with a dedicated lane for themselves.
We’re in Magic Kingdom today scoping out some NEW MagicBands. Come along!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
We’ve been finding a bunch of cute MagicBands lately. A few of our recent favorites are the new Pocahontas MagicBand and the Mickey Rainbow Castle MagicBand! Well, if you’re a fan of simple and pretty accessories, you’re going to LOVE the new-to-us solid-color MagicBand we spotted today!
If you were hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios over Labor Day weekend and haven’t reserved you Disney Park Passes yet, you might’ve missed your chance!
Hollywood Studios
Reservations for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have become notoriously more challenging to snag since the new Disney Park Pass system when live, often booking up weeks in advance. And since you need a Disney Park Pass reservation AND valid admission to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Disney World’s initial reopening phase, you may not be able to get in at all unless you’re on your A-game! Since this is such a major adjustment, we want to make sure you know what is available and what your park options are.
Are the Haunted Mansion Crocs ACTUALLY BACK in Disney World? Or is it your imagination?
Stretching Room
Well, yeah, they are actually back! You might remember when a reader tipped us off to these frightful shoes recently, but we’ve been having a hard time finding them in the parks — until TODAY, that is! Get ready for some ghoulish delights! We spotted the Haunted Mansion Wallpaper Crocs back in stock in Disney World — but they’re going FAST.
Disney has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to how they’ve been dealing with their financial stability during these uncertain times.
Magic Kingdom
Due to the ongoing global health crisis causing disruption to almost every segment of the Walt Disney Company, their unique situation could be seen by the casual observer as precarious at best.
The parks have been open for a month now, but not everything has reopened in Disney World.
Cast Members welcoming guests back to Magic Kingdom
When you head into the parks, you’ll see lots of Cast Members back at work and doing their best to bring the Disney magic to guests. But some Cast Members have yet to be called back as attractions, restaurants, and entire resort hotels remain closed.
With the robust additional unemployment benefits from earlier this year expired, and the potential federal replacement as yet unconfirmed, which Disney World employees are still waiting for the call?
We love to keep an eye out for new Mickey and Minnie ears in the Disney parks.
Main Street, U.S.A.
After all, is there a better park accessory? We’ve found some seriously cute Minnie ears lately like the Candy Corn Halloween Witch Ears and some pretty Sparkly Rainbow Ears, but thanks to a reader, we might’ve just found our new favorite pair!
Whether you like to be truly scary or too-cute-to-spook, there’s new Disney Halloween merchandise out there for you!
