food IS a theme park
The fun thing about shopping at EPCOT is that you can get some gorgeous international souvenirs without ever leaving World Showcase. And each pavilion has really unique items (most of which are made in the countries they represent!).
Germany Pavilion
From special ears to apparel to beautiful masks, each pavilion at EPCOT holds a treasure trove of wonderful things we always want to take home!
If you’re not a fan of change, buckle up! BIG things have changed or will be changing soon in Disney World.
Time to Visit Disney World
Paid FastPass+ replacement systems (Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection) have debuted, the parks are celebrating the Resort’s 50th Anniversary, the Magical Express service has ended, and more. And with some of those changes come additional costs that you’ll need to factor into your trip. So, just what could it cost a family to “do” Disney World in 2022 in light of these changes. We’re breaking down what you need to know right here.
Trader Sam’s is back in Disneyland AND Disney World!
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar reopened at the Disneyland Hotel on July 2nd, and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and Tiki Terrace surprised guests by reopening with Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Also, the new Jungle Cruise movie just had its world premiere in Disneyland with an epic red carpet event, but now there are NEW Jungle Cruise souvenirs at Trader Sam’s that you’ve gotta see!
We have to admit that one of our favorite characters in Moana is Hei Hei (sorry, Maui!).
Hei Hei Cone
There’s just something lovable about this super unintelligent chicken that makes us smile. And we’ve loved seeing Hei Hei represented at Disney World — in a Dole Whip cone (yes, that is a thing that happened!), on a MagicBand, on shirts, and more!
During our many years going to Disney World, we’ve seen our share of unique souvenirs.
House of Good Fortune
There was a gigantic $368 silver ant, there was a cringe-worthy Single Rider T-Shirt we’re still LOLing about, and there is even a whole collection of poisonous trinket trays. But today, we saw something that’s even more unique!
We’ve really enjoyed this year’s EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!
Flavor Full Booth
We’ve enjoyed tasting all the great food, but also had a lot of fun with some of the festival activities. And we’ve loved seeing all the great festival merchandise! The festival is slowly wrapping up as it ends on July 5th.
You’ve heard us say it a million times — plan your Disney World vacation in advance!
You may miss out on some things if you don’t plan!
There are reservations for hotels, restaurants, and parks that you’ll need to snag, plus you’ll want to think ahead of time about how you plan to spend each day. But what happens if you book a trip later than usual? Or if you forget to do something until the last minute? Or even if you happen to want a last-minute getaway? Today, we’re talking about the times that it actually benefits you to procrastinate in Disney World!
We’re constantly finding unique souvenirs at Disney World!
House of Good Fortune
So far, we’ve found pink blinged-out Minnie ears, Loki ears, a Jar Jar plush, and Chewbacca socks with pockets! We never know what we’re going to find!
Who doesn’t love a good deal? And we always try our best to share all the latest Disney deals with you to help you save money on everything from Disney World trips, merchandise, and more!
So much merch!
That includes saving money on shopDisney, which often has sales that last for only a day — so we want to make sure you know about them!
We’re so excited to be roaming around Disneyland once again.
We’re back!
We’ve done our fair share of eating throughout the parks, checking out the updated Monte Cristo sandwich, the only place to get Mickey Pretzels, and some churros! We’ve spotted a Toy Story Alien Sipper in Disneyland in the past, but now there’s a NEW one in town!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
