food IS a theme park
Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away, if you can even believe it!
Valentine’s Balloons
And there are LOADS of ways to celebrate with your family, like giving them a Disney Valentine’s Day gift, perhaps?!
It’s been over a year since the coronavirus pandemic first hit the United States, but there’s good news! A vaccine has arrived, and slowly but surely, people are getting inoculated.

In a big move to amp up the vaccination efforts, today the White House announced that major retailers across America, including Florida, will begin administering the vaccine soon, getting doses directly from the federal government.
Here’s a face mask pro-tip for your next visit to the Disney Parks — if you have long hair, wear it up!
Magic Kingdom Cinderella Castle
We’ve noticed that throwing our hair up in a ponytail has helped us reduce the number of tangles we come home with and it’s helped us stay cool on particularly warm days park hopping! And, instead of packing any ol’ hair tie with you for the day, add some subtle Disney style to your look with these Disney scrunchies released online by BoxLunch!
We’re officially in February, which means Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it!
Animal Kingdom
Holidays at Disney World mean a few different things. You can typically expect special decorations and merchandise to celebrate the holiday, and then there’s OUR favorite part — the seasonal treats! Or…we at least think they’re seasonal. Sometimes, Disney likes to “reimagine” old snacks to be new. Remember this Halloween drink that had an identity crisis?
Disney is honestly weirdly into noses, but they’ve got a good reason.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
For many a Disney fan, a favorite part of the parks experience is the smells. Walking down Main Street, U.S.A. we love to get a whiff of that fresh-baked bread. Lots of folks REALLY miss the orange smell from Soarin’ Over California. Oh, and the burning smell from Spaceship Earth? COME ON. Now, Disney is working on tech that could make smell engineering a more common thing, both in and out of the theme parks.
Who’s ready for a sweet treat?
Dino-Bite Snacks
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’re on the hunt for all of the holiday snacks around Disney World! Today’s snack expedition takes us to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out a sweet, ice cream and cookie treat that’s returning from last year. It was one of our FAVORITES in the past, so we were interested to see whether it would be one of our favorites again.
You know you’re a real Disney fan when…you take special interest in Disney trash cans!
Restaurantosaurus
You may already have the Disney trash can shirt(!!) but a new trash can (or set of cans, we should say) have made their way to Disney World and they’ve got a special purpose!
It’s the most romantic time of the year at Disney World!

And we’re covering every single Valentine’s Day treat we can find! No, really – EVERY SINGLE ONE. From Dole Whip Valentine’s Swirls to Cinnamon Candy Cupcakes, we’re on a quest to find the Tastiest of Them All. But we’re just getting started!
We were just chatting about a new Chocolate and Cherry Cupcake over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

And now we’ve got another spot where fans of that classic flavor combo can pick up a treat without even setting foot in a theme park! We’re talking about a new beverage in Disney Springs: Chocolate Cherry Boba Tea! [Read more…]
Lately, we’ve seen some older Disney films getting a LOT of love in the form of some new merchandise.
The Aristocats at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts
The Aristocats may have been released in 1970, but you can celebrate your love for this movie and its purrfect characters right now. You can get a pretty in pink Aristocats watch, snag some Marie ears, or even get a peek at some of the cats from The Aristocats on a wall at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts. And now you can have an Aristocats spa day at home too thanks to these fun products!
