food IS a theme park
As always, Disney has plans to LOAD US UP with new movies next year. With everything from a new Pixar film to a FEW installations in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have lots to look forward to in 2021.

But, with the global health crisis and Disney’s shift to streaming, some of these flicks are coming to Disney+. We’ll be watching some from our couches, some in the theaters, and we’ll have a choice with others. Here’s where you can see all the 2021 Disney movies!
In case you missed it, MagicBands will NOT be free to Disney resort hotel guests in the new year.
Limited Edition 2021 MagicBand
And while that may throw a wrench in some people’s plans, it also means that there’s more freedom to buy the MagicBand of your choosing beyond just feeling compelled to use a solid pink or gray one.
We’re totally #adults here at Disney Food Blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ll say no to a Happy Meal!
Goofy Toy
We especially can’t resist a good Happy Meal when it’s loaded with Disney toys! In honor of Mickey and Minnie’s 92nd birthday, McDonald’s teamed up with Disney to release some super sweet toys. We got our hands on the cutie pie Happy Meals last week. We’re back to tell you all about the awesome sweepstakes you can enter when you buy one for yourself!
Limited edition merchandise is typically in very high demand in Disney parks.
Jungle Cruise Minnie ears
The demand is SO high, in fact, that at first after reopening, Disney World halted in-person limited-edition releases to help promote social distancing. Limited edition releases have since returned somewhat, but due to Disney’s generous 10 of each item per person policy, many guests aren’t able to get ahold of these releases. Seems like FINALLY, that may have changed a bit!
UPDATE: Select locations have received new, corrected Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys.
UPDATE: The Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys have been recalled at this time.
If you’re like us, you remember the joy of collecting EPIC Disney dolls and toys from McDonald’s as a kid! Well, thankfully that fun doesn’t have to end.
McDonald’s
Recently, we’ve seen McDonald’s release some cool Pixar keychains, as well as some interesting (potentially terrifying) Marvel toys. But now, whether you’re stopping by the new solar powered McDonald’s on Disney property or just the McDonald’s that’s closest to you, you can pick up some AMAZING Happy Meal Toys themed to Disney attractions!
