food IS a theme park
In case you missed it, MagicBands will NOT be free to Disney resort hotel guests in the new year.
Limited Edition 2021 MagicBand
And while that may throw a wrench in some people’s plans, it also means that there’s more freedom to buy the MagicBand of your choosing beyond just feeling compelled to use a solid pink or gray one.
Even when you can’t make it to the theme parks, there are still PLENTY of ways to bring Disney World magic into your home, like by making some iconic Disney snacks and treats. We know we’ve spent this year whipping up copycat Pandora cheeseburger pods and Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookies in our kitchens!
Homemade cheeseburger pods
And you know what makes those homemade Baby Yoda macarons and homemade Disneyland peppermint marshmallow wands taste even sweeter? Making them (or storing them) using Disney kitchen accessories!
Something NEW has washed ashore at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
‘Olu Mel is the newest addition to the Duffy and Friends gang at Disney Parks. The whole group has been seen on merchandise like Loungefly backpacks and (slightly creepy) headbands. The cutie pie turtle is now the star of his very own Loungefly backpack!
We’ve seen A LOT of merch repping our favorite Disney canines and felines in the parks lately!

We’re not complaining! We love to see our furry friends have their moment in the sun. We found a Cat and Dog raincoat and Loungelfly collection recently and Disney is releasing even more goodies on December 28th. We don’t have to wait that long for some new pet souvenirs! A Lady and the Tramp dog Spirit Jersey has arrived at Disney World!
As one of the most popular and classic Disney attractions, the Haunted Mansion gets a LOT of special merchandise!
Haunted Mansion
We’ve seen Christmas ornaments, bedding, Minnie ears, and all kinds of figurines. We simply can’t get enough, and it seems that other Disney fans can’t as well, because we’re constantly finding new items. Today, we spotted a new Haunted Mansion clothing line at HotTopic!

Besides all the other things that have happened this year, 2020 will go down in Disney history as the “year of a million Minnie ears”!
BaubleBar Designer Minnie Ears
Seriously. It seems that since the parks reopened, we’ve been getting a new pair of ears almost EVERY SINGLE WEEK. In fact, just last week we got designer ears from BaubleBar, the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction fireworks collection ears, and a pair of Sorcerer Mickey ears from Loungefly. Now, another pair of ears that we spotted recently in the Disney parks has arrived on shopDisney — the Champagne Minnie Ears!
