food IS a theme park
Buckle up, because we’ve got a LOT of Disney news to go over this week!
Fantasmic!
The holidays have arrived in Disney World, Fantasmic! has returned, and the buffet is back at a popular character dining spot. Learn about all of that and more below!
One of the best parts about going to Disney World is getting the opportunity to meet your favorite characters!
Toy Story Land
Over the past two years, we’ve started seeing characters reappearing in the parks, followed by the return of traditional character meet and greets. Some characters haven’t returned for meet and greets, but today, THREE characters are BACK to say hello to guests in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
This is the way — if you’re a Star Wars fan, you know that phrase from The Mandalorian on Disney+. You’re also familiar with Din Djarin and his companion, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).
Grogu
If you’re like us, you’ve been collecting all the Grogu merchandise you can get your hands on — the plushes, the spirit jerseys, the pins, and more! Well, you’ll soon be able to MEET Grogu — and Din — in Disneyland Resort!
It is officially Halloween Time in Disneyland!
Spooky Season Is HERE
We’ve made our way around the FIRST Oogie Boogie Bash of 2022, checked out the merchandise, enjoyed spooky food, and more! But does anything say Halloween more than Disney villains? Disney teased some NEW villains that would appear at the party this year, so join us now to meet the new baddies at this year’s event!
Do you consider yourself to be a Disney expert? Do you think you’ve noticed all the unusual and strange details throughout the parks? Well, today we present a CHALLENGE to you in the form of character meet-and-greet secrets!

From secret hand signals to characters being “stuck” in their films, today we’re breaking down the 7 character meet-and-greet secrets and strange facts you may have never heard before!
SO many character meet-and-greets have returned to Disney World!
Star Wars Launch Bay
We’ve already been enjoying the fact that we can hug characters again, and we were so excited to see Minnie with Mickey Mouse in Magic Kingdom! Now — speaking of hugs — we’re about to get some fluffy Wookie hugs from Chewbacca because some of the Star Wars Launch Bay meet and greets have returned EARLY!
