food IS a theme park
The holidays are here in Disney World, but not every event has kicked off yet!
EPCOT Christmas Tree!
While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has already begun, there’s another major celebration that won’t be here until after Thanksgiving — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! The festival starts on November 25th and we already know about the entertainment, food booths, and more. And now, we have a FIRST LOOK at the Festival of the Holidays merchandise coming SOON!
Okay, Beauty and the Beast fans, we’ve got some BIG news to share with you!

Remember when we told you about the Beauty and the Beast special that was in the works, starring Josh Groban as the Beast and H.E.R. as Belle? Then we all got excited when Disney confirmed Shania Twain as Mrs. Potts and Martin Short as Lumiere. Well, we’ve got a first look at the special now!
Have you been to Disney World to celebrate its 50th anniversary yet? If you have, you’ve probably tried some delicious 50th anniversary snacks, seen the 50th anniversary statues, and bought some 50th anniversary merchandise.
EPCOT turns 40 this year!
But another BIG milestone is coming soon in Disney World — EPCOT will celebrate its 40th anniversary on October 1st, 2022! We’ve had a sneak peek at some of the merchandise, including the spirit jersey, but Disney just released a list of MORE merchandise you’ll be able to get to celebrate this occasion!

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish, is jam-packed with new and exciting experiences based on Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars! We already got a sneak peek at the ship’s merchandise, shows, staterooms, dining experiences, and more. And now, we’ll be able to attend the ship’s debut and christening — virtually!
Today is the day we want to remind you to just keep swimmin’!
It’s here!
Why? Well, that’s because we’re celebrating the return of the Finding Nemo show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This show hasn’t happened in over two years, and we learned last year that it would be reimagined and called Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! Today, we got to attend a media event to see the show’s debut, and we’ve got a first look for you!
It’s FINALLY time!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
After months, nay, YEARS of waiting — we finally got the chance to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! The ride officially opens to the public on May 27th, but we got to step inside a few weeks early and check out the hype for ourselves. So without further ado, we present to you — an official first look inside the ride!
Do you get as excited about new Disney World food as we do?

Okay, you got us — we LOVE the National Treasure movies because they are just so much fun. Plus every time we see the Liberty Bell replica in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, we’re totally looking for clues on it. So you can imagine how excited we are about the new National Treasure series coming to Disney+ — and Disney just revealed the first look!
“This will be a day long-remembered.”

Yes, we’re quoting Darth Vader from the very first Star Wars film. Why? Well, not only is Vader one of the most iconic movie villains of all time, but he’ll also soon be making an appearance in the upcoming Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even better? TODAY is the day Disney dropped the first photo of Darth Vader on the new show!
Whether you love or hate them, live-action films have been a BIG thing for Disney in the last few years.
A dream is a wish your heart makes — if you want more live-action Disney movies!
Disney has recreated popular movies like Mulan, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast into live-action versions, and there are even more on the horizon, including live-action films and even sequels. One of these upcoming movies is Pinocchio, and today we got a sneak peek into the film!
