food IS a theme park
Hello from Southern California! We took a stroll around Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort recently.
Downtown Disney
And we found loads of new stuff. Are you ready for the update?
We’ve seen LOTS of Mickey plushes around Disney World and online, but some of the cutest and most unique ones have been the Limited-Edition Year of the Mouse plushes.

This year, Disney has been releasing a NEW Mickey Mouse plush design on Amazon every month as part of the Year of the Mouse, and D23 Members have been able to get early access to these cuties!
Haunted Mansion, it is your time of the year to SHINE! Spooky season, bb!
The Haunted Mansion in Disney World
We’ve been waiting patiently for news of the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Haunted Mansion collection. Now, we know WHEN it will become available for MerchPass (shopDisney’s early access merchandise lottery) so that YOU can enter for a chance to buy this new merchandise! Here’s when!
During the course of the global health crisis, a series of rules, both in certain parts of the U.S. and abroad, have been put in place requiring residents to quarantine for 14 days after visits to specific states or countries.

The U.K. recently added France to its mandatory quarantine list, meaning that those traveling from the U.K. to Disneyland Paris must quarantine for 14 days after returning to the U.K.
GREETINGS from the DFB — and a few of our friends — in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Character Flotilla
Our most recent visit may not have started easily (keep reading to learn more), but once we got inside the park to check out what’s new, it was time to find even MORE pumpkin goodies, new menu items, and oodles of merchandise… and we even took a SAFARI while we were at it! We hope you’ll join us on our latest trek around Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]
Jambo from Kidani Village in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Kidani Village Lobby in Animal Kingdom Lodge
This week we headed to Walt Disney World’s wildest resort to see what’s new and what’s happening. We decided to visit Kidani Village, the DVC resort area, to check out the pool and take in the savanna view!
One thing that Disney is known for is out-of-this-world technology, the innovations of the future — the kind of tech that makes us make the same face as this guy.
Patent Screenshot
Seriously, I think that’s what we look like every time we ride Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Well, get ready to “Ooh” and “Aah,” Disney has just applied for a new patent and the technology represented is pretty mind-blowing. Are we one step closer to virtual reality in the Disney parks? Maybe!
Splash Mountain is set to get a Princess and the Frog re-theming at some point in the future, but for the moment the attraction is still running in Magic Kingdom in its current form.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen extremely long lines for Splash Mountain merchandise in the past, but today the line for Splash Mountain itself was so long it had us saying “my oh my, what a CRAZY day!”
We’re not going to lie — Baby Yoda stole our hearts during season 1 of The Mandalorian on Disney+. And we know we’re not alone, because Disney has released a TON of Baby Yoda merchandise — Pez dispensers, spirit jerseys, mugs, blankets, ornaments, and more!
Baby Yoda Blanket
We are so ready to indulge our obsession with Baby Yoda even more during The Mandalorian’s upcoming second season. And we’ve got the PERFECT headwear for watching the first episode on October 30th.
