food IS a theme park
Disney and The Make-A-Wish Foundation often team up to help make dreams come true for children with critical illnesses.
Make a Wish collection in Disneyland
Disney even has an Amazon store with merchandise from its most recent movie Wish to help support the cause. Disney also often has giveaways to help Make-A-Wish. Disney also often releases special merchandise collections to benefit Make-A-Wish. Well, now, we’ve got an example to share with you of how those funds raised go to help kids.
Alright, who remembers when Disney SNACK merch ran rampant throughout the parks?
Mickey Ice Cream Bar!
And it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to keep that stuff on the shelves? We definitely remember, and we’ve been hoping that the snack merch trend will make a reappearance in the future. Well, Disney’s fairy godmothers must have heard our cries, because there’s an ALL NEW Disney snack collection coming SOON.
We don’t mean to make you paranoid, but you are ALWAYS being watched when you visit Disney World. 👀
He’s watching you…
Wait — you didn’t know that? Surely, you know about all the security cameras and security personnel in the parks, right? There’s a reason they show up so quickly when anything goes down.

But there are some places where you may not even realize visitors are probably watching you.
We’re in that final stretch before the end of the year where all the dates blend together and things get a little hazy!

Maybe you’re trudging through the last few days of the year at work, or maybe you’re one of the lucky ones on vacation (at Disney World perhaps?) but if you’re ringing in the New Year at home on December 31st, we know exactly where you tune in. Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest will premiere live on ABC, and there’s going to be a big Disney surprise!
No matter how old we get, we always find ourselves wandering to the plush section of Disney’s shops and website.
Plushes galore!
And yes, sometimes, we even adopt one to come live on one of our shelves or bed. They’re just too cute to resist! There’s a new Disney plush coming to shopDisney, and we can’t stop thinking about it.

Keeping the Disney Parks in tip-top shape means that there are countless Cast Members performing maintenance, upkeep, and even handling dangerous tools and chemicals once the visitors have left.

Having former Cast Members on the team, we know that Disney goes above and beyond to ensure that Cast Members take proper safety precautions. However, incidents still happen.
Things in Disney World are ALWAYS changing, and that’s part of the fun of visiting often.
