We love how much CUTE merch Disney Cruise Line offers! We’ve accessorized ourselves with the Nautical Navy collection, rocked the Inflatable Mickey Ears, and obsessed with the adorable Sail Away Minnie collection. And now, we have even more items to add to our wish list!
Whether you’re having a BBQ with your family outside or movie night inside, Igloo Coolers can be a great way to store your drinks (POG Hard Seltzer, pls) or Disney recipe leftovers!

While we’ve already been grabbing items from the Toy Story and Star Wars Collections, this INCREDIBLE fundraiser makes us want to buy a BUNCH more! Hey, more Igloo coolers means more room for extra snacks, right? 😉
So you’re up on the history of the Disney Parks and how your favorite rides came to be after binging The Imagineering Story and Behind the Attraction a million times on Disney+. But what about the rides that could have been?
Toy Story Land
We’ve been doing a little digging into some of the AWESOME attractions that were never built in the parks. (Trust us, you’re going to wish you could ride these!!) So, put your head back, face forward, and hold on because these never-built Disney attractions are WILD.
Cheese is basically another food group to us (and one of our favorites, at that).
Woody’s Lunch Box
And, grilled cheese just happens to be our WEAKNESS with all that buttery bread and stretchy cheese! It’s just SO GOOD. Although it might seem like a simple snack, Woody’s Lunch Box adds a delicious twist that we can’t get enough of!
The deeper meaning behind Disney’s classic attraction, “it’s a small world,” has never felt more apparent.

No matter where you are on the planet right now, for good and for bad, we’re all in the same boat. And just like all of us, The Walt Disney Company is navigating through uncharted territory right now. And there have been some admirable acts we’ve seen from the company as well as a few with room for improvement.
For much of this year, Disney World was closed due to the global health crisis. While we were happy to know that Disney is looking out for everyone’s safety, this news put quite a damper on several families’ vacation plans.

And while the parks are accepting new reservations starting after June 1st, they’ve just released all of their incoming college interns and cultural representatives from their Disney programs which were scheduled to begin in early June.
Bob Chapek at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Dedication Ceremony
Combined with other efforts to budget-cut due to theme park losses compounded by hits to nearly all of Disney’s primary entertainment silos, news broke recently that some of Disney’s most highly-paid executives were taking major salary cuts, including current CEO Bob Chapek and CEO-turned-Chairman Bob Iger.Â
This year, we are REALLY missing those Grand Floridian Easter Eggs since the parks are currently closed (they’re just so awesome!!).
Beach Club Easter Eggs
Although we LOVE going on an Easter Egg Hunt at home and baking themed treats, Disney World is also warming our hearts as they give back to the Central Florida area this season.
The Dapper Dans of Disneyland recently joined together (via their own homes) to treat us to a truly beautiful rendition of “When You Wish Upon A Star.” And now, the Dapper Dans of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom have come together (virtually) for National Barbershop Quartet Day!
