food IS a theme park
We just spent a lovely day traveling around Disney World’s Magic Kingdom resorts!
Grand Floridian
And we’ve got a ton of updates, so grab a cup of coffee or tea, curl up in your favorite chair, and let’s get started!
Name a more iconic fella than Mickey Mouse, we’ll wait!
Mickey Mouse
Mickey is certainly a staple in and out of the Disney parks and he’s been around for almost a century! Now, we’re taking a look at some things that only the BIGGEST Disney fans will know about the Mouse!
Just because the holiday season is wrapping up, that doesn’t mean that we have to stop shopping!
2021 Merchandise
In fact, we’ve recently been checking out the new 2021 merchandise, and we’ll be looking forward to the new items that come out next year for the upcoming attractions, like the TRON coaster and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. But, you don’t have to wait until then to do your shopping, because TONS of new Disney products arrived online last week, and we’ve got the complete list for you!
So maybe we already have a problem with collecting Disney mugs, tumblers, and glassware.
Character Mugs
It’s fine — we can stop collecting drinkware any time we want — but only after we grab a couple of these new amazing GOBLETS (yes, we said GOBLETS) we just found on shopDisney.
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!
We’ve seen lots of merchandise celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the classic Disney film, Fantasia.
Sorcerer Mickey Ears
If you’re in need of Fantasia-themed Mickey ears, dresses, or collectible keys, you’ve got plenty of options! Well, the Fantasia merch collection continues to grow with these cute and collectible Funko POP! Figurines!
Who’s ready for a festive trip around the Monorail loop??
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Now that the holiday season is in full-swing around Disney World, we’ve seen a ton of new additions make their way to the parks and resorts! So, we decided to take a trip around the Monorail loop hotels to see what new food, merchandise, and construction updates have popped up since our last visit. Let’s take a look!
As Downtown Disney continues to welcome guests to the Disneyland Resort, a series of shopping events have taken place at the former location of ESPN Zone. These reservation-only events are an opportunity for guests to more easily purchase high-demand merchandise items!
Wooden Boba Fett doll from a Disneyland shopping event
Recent events have included items from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge as well as the upcoming Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure! Shoppers will have another chance to collect limited-release merchandise items next week, and reservations are available now!
We don’t know about you, but we’re starting to think of MagicBands a lot like Minnie ears – it’s a lot of fun to try and collect as many as possible! And you can NEVER have too many, right?
Park Life MagicBands at Disney Pin Traders at Disney Springs
And there are TONS of MagicBand designs to choose from: you can go full-on designer with Dooney & Bourke, celebrate the holidays, show off your favorite movies, and more!! And we’ve just spotted some brand spanking new MagicBands you can now get on shopDisney to add to your collection! We have spotted most of these in the parks but now you can get them online!
In case you missed it, Fantasia is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year!
Sorcerer Mickey at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
And that’s important because that’s the movie that gave us one of Mickey Mouse’s most recognizable looks – Sorcerer Mickey! So we’ve loved seeing all the celebratory Fantasia Sorcerer Mickey snow globes, mugs, bags, and more!
