food IS a theme park
Disney fans can be cringey.
Cinderella Castle
HOLD UP. Before you get mad at us, we’re totally including ourselves in this category as well! From the words and phrases we use to the way we behave in the parks, sometimes we’re an unusual breed of fans. And today, we’re opening up and admitting to the cringeworthy things that we totally do in Disney World!
Here at DFB, we’re all about a commemorative popcorn bucket!
Popcorn Cart
Popcorn buckets are some of Disney’s most popular souvenirs (just look at what happened with the Figment bucket!) and we’ve seen a wide variety of festive designs pop up in Disney World and at Disneyland Resort. But if you’re an avid bucket collector, you’ll need to make your way to the west coast to pick up one that’s coming soon.
Did you know you can bring pixie dust HOME with you?
Cinderella Castle!
Sometimes your Disney World trip is less than perfect, from rainy weather to long ride closures. However, Disney World is still constantly giving us “pixie dust moments” that make our trips all worth it. This week, we found a way that you can now bring some of that pixie dust home with you — literally!
We’re constantly on the lookout for the best souvenirs in Disney World!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re scouring the merchandise shops daily for new collections and hot merchandise, and we do our fair share of online shopping to prepare for our Disney trips as well. But now, there’s a NEW collectible in Disney World that we think you’ll be interested in if you’re a big fan…and you’ll need to know where to find it!
Well, Lion King fans, you might as well just hand your wallet over to Disney right now.
Animal Kingdom
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you may already have plans to pick up that adorable Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket before you see Festival of the Lion King for the umpteenth time. But you’re going to want to add some $$$ to your souvenir budget because you can now get a Timon Sipper Cup to go WITH that popcorn bucket!
Alright, where are all our popcorn bucket fans at?
Fresh, Buttery Popcorn
We know you’re collecting them all. We saw how everyone scrambled to get their hands on that Figment Popcorn Bucket. We bet you got your hands on the new Disney100 popcorn bucket, too. We can imagine you loved the Rainbow Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket. Well, get ready to collect another new popcorn bucket one is now available!
Okay, so who’s collecting those Munchlings plushes?
Munchlings!
You know the ones we mean? They combine Disney characters with food (seriously, you KNOW we love that idea!). So far, we’ve seen some fun ones, like a Figment Fig Bar, a Winnie the Pooh Honey Cake, a Baymax S’Mores, and more. Now, another popular character has its own Munchling.
It’s pretty common for people in the Disney fandom to have a collection of some souvenir or another.
Ears in Disney World
Some people collect Minnie ears or Loungefly bags, while others have Christmas ornaments or mugs. Others go for the more unique and rare souvenirs — collectibles from the early days of the parks or expensive limited-edition items. And if you’re a treasure hunter looking for some new items like that, we’ve got just the thing!
Do you guys remember the glory that was Disney Kitetails?
KiteTails
The limited-time show ran in the Discovery River Amphitheater at Animal Kingdom for the 50th Anniversary, but it was cut short and canceled in September 2022. KiteTails wasn’t without its technical difficulties (sometimes the kites took a nosedive into places they weren’t supposed to), but it was also a really fun addition to Animal Kingdom that could easily fit into your day’s plans. We’ve been mourning its loss since last fall, but now Disney seems to be “mocking” our pain!
If you’re strictly a visitor of the domestic Disney parks, you might be just a little bit curious about what Disney has to offer across the pond!
Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland
There are international Disney resorts in Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, each with unique attractions, food, merchandise, and entertainment. And sometimes we think that some of those international parks may have it BETTER! That was definitely the case when we stepped into a gift shop at Tokyo Disneyland recently.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
