food IS a theme park
There’s a super cool new Disney Archives exhibit and we’re taking a look inside!
All That Glitters
The Bowers Museum, an art museum in Santa Ana California, is hosting a new Disney Exhibition — All That Glitters: The Crown Jewels of the Walt Disney Archives. We were invited to the media preview of the exhibit and we’re taking you with us!
This year’s Stitch Crashes Disney collection has been quite the conversation starter amongst merchandise collectors and stunned onlookers alike. From Spaghetti Stitch crashing Lady and the Tramp to Banana Stitch crashing The Jungle Book, there have been some eyebrow-raising designs that we haven’t been able to get enough of!

With the final three series in the collection not slated to debut in the U.S. until early 2022, we have eagerly waited for a first look at what they will all look like.
We’ve seen some pretty unique Disney merchandise this year!
Loungefly Mickey Popcorn Backpack!
From popcorn bags that actually SMELL like popcorn to socks with a pocket in thems, there’s definitely something for every Disney fan. One collection that spawned a lot of unique items were the Stitch Crashes Disney collections! We saw Spaghetti Stitch, Pink and Blue Stitch, and even Banana Stitch. And now, we know when the next Stitch Crashes Disney collections will be released!
Disney has been a titan of the film industry for decades and that certainly hasn’t changed in recent years.

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Walt Disney Studios films, there are a lot of movies coming from the Walt Disney Company. With the global health situation, Disney has made some changes to the way their films are released. For instance, you can now buy select newly released blockbusters through Premier Access on Disney+. But how much money has Disney actually made through this process?
The 2022 runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend in Disney World is quickly approaching!

The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend will take place on February 24th-27th in 2022, with races themed to Mulan, Cinderella, Moana, and Tiana. Recently, Disney shared a FIRST LOOK at the medals racers will be able to snag and, because this marathon will take place during Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, the runDisney medals will shine with an EARidescent shimmer. Let’s take a look!
Although a lot has returned to normal in Disney World, we’re still missing a few things in the parks.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
One of the most notable absences has been some of the entertainment, including some shows and character meetings. Today, Disney announced the return of select events, and we’re so excited to see them come back! One of the returning shows is happening soon in Disney’s most glamorous park.
Disney movies have their fair share of iconic props and costumes!

We’ve seen a bunch of museum exhibits featuring iconic Disney things like the costume exhibit at the Seattle Museum of Pop Culture, art at the Metropolitan Museum, and MORE! But now, there is a NEW exhibit with focuses on jewelry from iconic Disney films!
When Disney World reopened, parades were suspended and replaced with character cavalcades.
EPCOT Princess Cavalcade
And we’ve enjoyed quite a few of these cavalcades, but now that things are returning to “normal” at Disney World, lots of things seem to be changing…again. Parades will resume this holiday season (at least with the Very Merriest After Hours Party), and a character cavalcade has officially been suspended.
Disneyland spent most of last year closed due to the global pandemic. So its guests didn’t really get much of a 65th anniversary party, although Disney did release a ton of 65th anniversary merchandise.
Happy birthday, Disneyland!
Disneyland reopened several months ago, though, and today marks its 66th anniversary! And so far, we’ve celebrated with a very well-dressed caramel apple. But Disneyland also ended up throwing a party during a special cavalcade today!
Ever since the parks reopened, character experiences have been a bit unusual.
Character Cavalcade
Instead of parades, you’ll spot your Disney pals in cavalcades — mini-parades that run through each park. And instead of traditional meet-and-greets, they’re now waving at guests from a distance in various spots around Disney World. Today, we spotted a new physically distanced meet in EPCOT with a rare character!
