food IS a theme park
It’s spooky season, and you know what that means, right? It’s the time of year when Disney starts dropping NEW Haunted Mansion souvenirs and collectibles.
The Haunted Mansion
Now, we’d buy Haunted Mansion stuff year-round (hint, hint, Disney), but we love it when all kinds of new collectibles drop. A new Haunted Mansion collection has just arrived online, but we do have a word of warning: this one could hurt your pocketbook (but in a good way). We are all foolish mortals, after all, right?
We are so close to the Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure — we can almost taste it!
Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival 2023!
As the festival gets closer and closer, we are spending more time daydreaming about all of the eats, drinks, and souvenirs that come with it. From old favorites to new dishes that we are excited to try, the anticipation is honestly killing us. We’ve been keeping up with the latest about the fest, and we just heard that a popular souvenir is coming back this year! [Read more…]
If you’re a coffee drinker, you certainly won’t go without in Disney World!
COFFEEEEE
When you’re waking up early to rope drop and going all day long, caffeine can be a necessity! Thankfully, there are several Starbucks and Joffrey’s Coffee locations spread throughout the parks and resorts. And recently, when we stopped by one of the Starbucks locations in Disney Springs, we encountered a fun surprise!
Disney is changing SEVERAL hotels currently, and it’s hard to keep up with everything going on!
Disneyland Hotel construction
At Disney World, there are updates coming to the BoardWalk Inn, as well as a brand-new building at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But for today’s news, we’re heading out to the west coast! Disneyland Hotel is adding some Disney Vacation Club Villas to the property, and along with that change, we’ll be getting a very special addition.
Things are always changing in Disney World, especially in EPCOT.
Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
The park is undergoing a HUGE transformation, which has already brought us a new restaurant AND RIDE and will be bringing a new Moana-themed attraction soon. But World Showcase is also getting some love with a new restaurant coming to the Japan Pavilion. Ahead of that restaurant’s opening, though, the Japan Pavilion just recently got a bit of a makeover.
Have you ever been to Disney World’s FANCIEST hotel?
Four Seasons Resort
Nope, we’re not talking about the Grand Floridian or Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we’re talking about something a little more exclusive! The Four Seasons Resort is one of the nicest places you can stay on Disney World property, and it’s even located inside of the Golden Oak neighborhood (yes, that’s Disney’s own neighborhood where the houses are $$$$). Recently, we made a trip out to the Four Seasons for a media event, and we’re taking you along with us!
Are you as busy holiday shopping as we are?
Disney Artwork
There have been tons of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals over the past few days, and we’ve got lots of gift guides to help you find the perfect gifts for your family. If you’ve got someone who loves artwork, or you would love to meet a Disney legend, Jim Shore will be meeting guests and signing his art in Disney World this week!
In case you missed the HUGE news, the Splash Mountain rides in Disney World and Disneyland are going to be re-themed, with a story inspired by Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. The rides will be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and they’ll have songs and characters from the movie.

We previously saw some concept art for the re-theme, including part of the grand finale that will play at the end of the ride. But now Disney has shared even MORE details about the inspiration for the ride. Check them out here! [Read more…]

There’s one particular detail we walked past during our time on the ship that we just HAD to share with you.
