food IS a theme park
It’s been a HUGE week for Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Happy 25th, Animal Kingdom!
Not only did we celebrate Earth Day, but we also celebrated Animal Kingdom’s 25th anniversary! We’re also now celebrating the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary ALL over Disney World, so there’s been a LOT going on. So we’re going to get you caught up on all the news from Animal Kingdom!
We know a lot of you would say that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is your favorite park in Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios entrance
Where else can you visit a galaxy far, far away? Or get shrunk down to the size of a toy and ride on Slinky Dog? Where else can you go on an adventure with Mickey and Minnie or plunge to the depths of The Twilight Zone in a decrepit old hotel? There’s a lot of fun to be had here, for sure, but what else is going on with Hollywood Studios these days? Let’s see what’s new.
No two days are alike in Disney World — but you probably already knew that.
EPCOT
Right now, we’re in the midst of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and of course — eats! But before we know it, the Food & Wine Festival will be here. Disney is doing all sorts of preparing to make sure EPCOT is in tip-top shape, so let’s take a look at what’s new!
There are plenty of pricey Disney souvenirs out there, but there’s one that’s a little more well-known than the rest.
Sleeping Beauty LEGO display in Disney Springs
What are we talking about? Why, LEGO sets of course! These popular toys come in all different sizes and themes, and there are some pretty cool Disney-inspired ones that you can buy online and at the LEGO store in Disney Springs. But if you’re LEGO-obsessed, you need to know about the new sale online!
We’re constantly on the hunt for the BEST Disney parks accessories.
Disney100 display
Do we wear a Loungefly backpack to store our belongings or do we top our heads with the latest Minnie ears? Do we put on a fun Spirit Jersey or a quirky pair of Disney Crocs? There are so many options! And now, your shopping decision is a little bit harder.
Disney just released a swimmingly cool new merchandise collection!
The Little Mermaid Live-Action Collection
We’ve seen a few recent merchandise drops on shopDisney lately with the Happily Ever After Starbucks collection and the ever-growing line of Disney100 Years of Wonder collections. Even more merch is coming soon, too — we got a sneak peek from Halfway to Halloween about merch we can expect to find during spooky season. But this latest collection will have you flipping your fins in excitement to get your hands on the new items! [Read more…]
It seems like everywhere we go, NEW Disney 100th anniversary merchandise is turning up — and we want it ALL.
Disney100 merchandise is EVERYWHERE
From Disney’s super fun Decades Collection to new Adidas SHOES to that awesome Loungefly bag, new Disney100 souvenirs are EVERYWHERE. Now, we’ve found even MORE 100th Anniversary merchandise — and it’s all available at Hallmark.
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! We’re all about Hakuna Matata today, too, while we’re celebrating both Earth Day AND the 25th anniversary of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom
There is SO much going on in Animal Kingdom to celebrate both, too. We’ve already met Moana, who started greeting guests in Animal Kingdom this morning. We’ve also started checking out those Earth Day/Anniversary treats, because, well, FOOD. Plus we’ve picked up Disney World’s newest popcorn bucket.
