food IS a theme park
Sure, it’s a little rainy, but that didn’t stop us from recently taking a walk around EPCOT.
Spaceship Earth
So here’s an update on what we found since our last stroll around the park.
Earlier this month, merchandise for the 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival began arriving in the park.
Coaster
And while quite a bit of the merchandise appeared in EPCOT on the same day, some items have made their debut a bit later. So, if you’ve been on the lookout for new charms to add to your Pandora bracelet, today is your lucky day!
Figment has, in many ways, become the mascot of EPCOT festivals. You just gotta love that cute purple dragon!
Figment Table
Last week, we shared a first look at all of the fun 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival merchandise that would be released soon (featuring LOTS of Figment merch). Today, we found one of the new festival merchandise items — a limited release MagicBand featuring Figment (and food!!)
You don’t have to imagine him anymore…
Figment Shoulder Plush
… because you can now have your very own Figment Magnetic Shoulder Plush! That’s right… the very same one we spotted in EPCOT recently is now available for online purchase through shopDisney! [Read more…]
Last year, we learned there was more than one way to wear your MagicBand at Disney World!
Figment MagicBand
That’s ’cause Disney released a brand new style of MagicBand that reminded us of those cool slap bracelets we had as kids! The Figment Slap Bracelet MagicBand was the very embodiment of our 80s childhoods!
A tiny Disney character plush that we can carry around on our shoulder is the cutest thing we never knew we needed!
Remy Shoulder Plush
We’ve spotted quite a few of these adorable little magnetic shoulder plushes lately including Remy, Baby Yoda, and even Bruni! We just found another shoulder buddy and we are already starting to imagine all of the fun we’ll have together!
Going to a newly reopened Magic Kingdom has definitely been a unique experience.
Magic Kingdom
One of the things we’re constantly on the lookout for is new merchandise. Recently, we spotted six new to us short-sleeve button-down shirts in Magic Kingdom and you’ve got to see them!!
Remember those adorable Park Pals you could only get at the Disney parks before they closed?
Park Pals at World of Disney
If you didn’t get the chance to snag a few yet or you need to add some more buddies to your collection, we’ve got some great news for you! The Park Pals are now available on shopDisney!
It seems like with each passing day our hearts are longing to reach out to some of our favorite Disney attractions that we miss the most! How we yearn to FEEL the sweet CARESS of the Peoplemover’s blue vinyl upholstery against our skin AGAIN!
Walt Disney World
And somehow the fine line that usually divides our more logical thinking and what we would normally recognize as an irrational use of our time and energy right now has become BLURRED!
In fact, our minds have become so muddled with passionate feelings to see how our favorite attractions are holding up throughout all of this that we’ve started to believe maybe, just MAYBE, the rides are MISSING US, TOO?!?
The Disney Parks around the world have all closed for the FIRST time in history.
Magic Kingdom
While Disneyland and Disney World are hopefully reopening at the beginning of April (but it could be longer), we’ve been using our time outside of the parks to reminisce about the memories we’ve made in Disney. And, with all the exciting new changes coming soon, we can’t help but think about the Disney Parks and attractions of the past!
