food IS a theme park
This year The Walt Disney Company is celebrating 100 years of wonder.
Happy 100th Anniversary!
Disney has so many souvenirs you can get to commemorate the celebration. From special popcorn buckets to a whole Disney100 car, we’ve seen it all. There are even Disney100 glass slippers being auctioned off. It seems like Disney is not making it easy for us to choose which items we want and now, there are 5 NEW items to add to the mix.
The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary is still going strong.

We’ve seen so much unique merchandise released to celebrate the company’s 100 years, including a Vespa, a car, a LEGO castle, and more. But the most beautiful, and perhaps the ULTIMATE, 100th Anniversary souvenir might just be this gorgeous new piece designed by Swarovski.
Few things in Disney World attract as much fervor as the iconic popcorn bucket.
Mickey Balloon Premium Bucket
These salty snack vessels can be super popular and guests will often wait in long lines to get them — remember how the Figment Popcorn Bucket broke the internet last year? Today, we’re rounding up all of the new popcorn buckets Disney has released in Disney World in 2023.
HUGE changes are coming to EPCOT, and we’re not even talking about all that EPCOT construction going on right now!
Big changes are coming to EPCOT
Yes, EPCOT is still in the middle of its big transformation. Yes, the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction is coming in the fall. Yes, the CommuniCore Hall and Communicore Plaza Festival Area will open later this year. But we’re talking about something MASSIVE that’s happening on September 22nd and it will change a LOT around EPCOT.
Disney has released quite a few collector’s items throughout the years, but few draw as much of a crowd as the elusive Popcorn Bucket.
Disneyland popcorn cart
Recently, Disney World released a Premium Cinderella Popcorn Bucket in honor of the company’s 100th anniversary — and it sold out quickly! And, do we even need to mention the Figment Popcorn Bucket that broke the internet? It was so popular that even the Orlando International Airport had to get in on the action. Today, Disneyland has released a new popcorn bucket in celebration of this monumental anniversary, and it’s already shaping up to be a hit.
All that shimmers isn’t gold, right? In this case, it’s platinum. Disney100 collectibles are popping up everywhere in the Disney parks and online, and we just discovered a few more we NEED to add to our collections.
Sleeping Beauty Castle during Disney100 celebration
Getting to see all of the Disney castles around the world in places like Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disney Resort, and Hong Kong Disneyland might seem like a dream to most of us. Although we might not have a trip planned there yet, it doesn’t mean seeing their gorgeous castles is too far out of reach!
If you love Disney World, and your favorite way to celebrate huge milestones is by eating good food, then you’re gonna want to head to EPCOT this fall for the 2023 International Food & Wine Festival.
2022 Festival Brochure
Here, you’ll be able to celebrate the cultures of countries around the world by grabbing bites to eat from their designated booths at the festival. The Food and Wine Festival is a fan-favorite event each year for Disney World visitors, but this year, you’ll be able to celebrate in a new way — but for a very short amount of time.
Who’s planning a trip to Disney World this year? Raise your hand!
Magic Kingdom
If you’re heading to the parks soon, you’ve probably got a hefty to-do list with all the new additions. Just this year, we’ve had TRON Lightcycle / Run open at Magic Kingdom, Roundup Rodeo BBQ open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the return of the popular Happily Ever After fireworks show. But besides all these things that have been added…there are some things that are going AWAY! We’re sharing the list of things you’ll do in Disney World for the LAST TIME in 2023.
It looks like Disney just dropped a clue about new offerings to expect for EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, and they’re coming sooner than we anticipated!
