food IS a theme park
We spent our day yesterday checking out some interesting developments.
Disneyland
Stroll around Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort with us to see allllll of the latest news when it comes to food, construction, and merchandise!
Ever thought, you know what would be cute? Sticking a little face on Cinderella Castle! Well, that’s what Jerrod Maruyama is doing!
Downtown Disney
Jerrod Maruyama is the artist behind the Hipster Mickey line and you might recognize his name from some recent designs we’ve spotted in the parks (like this MagicBand). He’s been bringing us too-cool-for-school Mickey gear — like a Hipster Mickey hat — for a little while now and we spotted a new home collection from the hip artist on our recent visit to Disneyland Resort!
Epcot’s Festival of the Arts is still going strong now through February 24th!
Wonderground Gallery at Epcot’s Festival of the Arts
And recently we spotted some fun artsy D-Tech Phone Cases at the Wonderground Gallery tent! If you’re a follower of any of these Disney artists, then you’ll definitely want to hit up Epcot to get your hands on one of these unique designs we’re about to show you!
We’re always up for fine-tuning our Mickey and Minnie Ear collections with some fresh new styles!

And now, with two new limited-edition Designer Ears making their debut (featuring the artwork of some of our favorite Disney artists!), we’re SUPER-excited!
Calling all you Hipsters out there! Put down your sugar-free, triple shot, skinny oat milk latte with extra cold foam…because we have some news for you!
Hipster Mickey
We’ve seen a resurgence in the realm of Designer Mickey Ears, with everyone from supermodel Heidi Klum to tiki-god SHAG getting in on the action.
Exciting news, folks! Remember all those Designer Ears we’ve been tellin’ ya about lately? Well, we’ve got another one that’s comin’ for ya tomorrow and they’re super coooool!!!

We’ve been nervously adjusting our glasses and sipping our Americanos in anticipation of their release, but now the wait is almost over! Jerrod Maruyama’s Hipster Mickey Ears are FINALLY debuting tomorrow!
So. much. cute.
Have you seen the latest Jerrod Maruyama mugs on any of your own Disney trips this year? I most recently noticed these in Epcot’s Mouse Gears, but you can also find them in Magic Kingdom’s Emporium — or just about anywhere on Disney property that sells mugs, basically.
Jerrod Maruyama Mugs
Jerrod Maruyama is the artist behind the Hipster Mickey line, among others, and he’s super fun to follow on Instagram. But what I really like about these mugs in particular is the way his designs pick up on some truly iconic Disney moments and images.
For instance, the Pinocchio Mug features so many memorable moments from the film. I can’t help but think of the artwork in Pinocchio Village Haus when I look at it.

Like the others, the amount of detail packed into the Bambi Mug is pretty incredible. Plus, it’s somewhat hard to find Bambi merchandise in the parks, so points for that, too!

I know it’s inspired completely by the film, but the colors of the Dumbo Mug remind me of life under the circus tent at Big Top Treats.
