food IS a theme park
It’s a good day when we find a new pair of ears in Disney World.
Main Street Electrical Parade Ears
Your Minnie ear collection might already include Orchid Ears, Orange Bird Ears, Pretzel Ears, designer ears…should we keep going? Well, we found another pair of ears you may (or may not) want to add to your collection! And y’all…these new ears are a CHOICE, and one that has us considering revisiting our Barbie butterfly fairy princess phase. 🦋
In 2021, Disney made a commitment to inclusivity with their Reimagine Tomorrow program.

As part of this program, Disney added advisories on Disney+ to warn about culturally insensitive material, and projects such as an alliance between ESPN and My Brother’s Keeper and the Disney Dreamer’s Academy have been established to help African-American youths. Disney was also recently recognized for disability representation in two Marvel projects, and in Disney Parks, you can not only find inclusive merchandise, but other forms of representation too!
Hello again from EPCOT!
Connections Eatery
There are some seriously exciting updates to share, including the official opening date for Connections Cafe and Eatery — April 27th! After a surprise soft opening, we wondered what other news awaited us in the park. It’s time for another look at what’s new in EPCOT!
Disney has faced some CONTROVERSIAL moments in its past (some of which have included the Resort’s main icon — Cinderella Castle).
Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover is so pretty
You probably remember the Stitch toilet paper-covered castle — a…unique moment in Disney history. But, perhaps no controversial Castle moment is more infamous than…the Birthday Cake Castle! And now you can bring this controversial piece of Disney history home!
A lot of exciting things are happening at EPCOT.

Oh EPCOT, we love you!
There’s so much change happening all the time in this park (have you checked out our guide to the EPCOT transformation?) that it can be hard to keep up. Luckily, we’re in the parks every single day checking out everything new there is to see and do, so let’s take a look!
Disney World is currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and if you’re hoping to take home something to remind you of the party, there’s A LOT of merchandise to choose from.
