food IS a theme park
Yesterday we were back in Magic Kingdom, and now we’re here to share what’s new!
Cinderella Castle
We have a few construction updates and some brand-new merchandise. We even spotted some characters! Let’s dive right in.
They might be QUITE pricey, but The Dress Shop has released some seriously awesome dresses.
Legends of Hollywood
Whether you want to look like the 1,000th happy haunt or you’re looking to become the next Avenger, there are some fun designs available. And now we’ve found a BRAND NEW one! You may already have the Little Mermaid ears, but if you really want to live that Mermaid life, you’ll need a whole outfit to match. And today we found JUST the thing at Legends of Hollywood in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We’re almost a year out from when Disney first closed the theme parks in March of 2020, and there are still a lot of health measures in place.
Cinderella Castle
During your Disney day, you’ll see mask mandates, temperature checks, and social distancing. Now, Disney has added a new update to their existing social distancing policy that specifically speaks to larger groups.
If you’re a FuelRod user, you may know the program has gone through a lot of changes.

FuelRods are portable chargers for your electronics. They comes in a little kit with plenty of cables to match most Apple iOS or Android devices. You charge your phone up and when the FuelRod dies, you can swap it out at any FuelRod station. Sounds simple, right?
Update: We checked on this later in the day and My Disney Experience showed that all of these attractions had reopened.
Disney World might be the most magical place on earth, but rides there can experience technical difficulties at times, causing them to temporarily close.
Magic Kingdom
Sometimes these closures are only for a few minutes, but other times they can last for much longer. As we walked around Magic Kingdom today, we actually found that 3 rides are ALL temporarily closed right now due to technical difficulties.
We sure could go for a Mickey-inspired snack right about now.
Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Disney World
Luckily, we can wear a Disney treat on our heads instead! We’ve seen some food ears before, like the donut ears (both old and new!) or the pizza ears. But these new online-exclusive ears are inspired by a different sweet snack.
UPDATE: The Up Designer Ears have sold out! We’ll let you know if more become available!
Are you hooked on Disney’s designer ears trend? If so, you’ll probably love the newest pair!

The new Up-inspired ears are designed by Darren Wilson, Principal Designer at Disney Creative Group, and Disney Artist at Art of Disney. We spotted them at EPCOT a few days ago, but now they’ve arrived online!
We have been soaking in all of the NEW things that have recently opened in Disney World, like the beautiful new EPCOT entrance fountain and the delicious Gideon’s Bakehouse. But, there’s still quite a few projects that have been delayed following the temporary closure of the theme parks.
EPCOT
We are no stranger to construction walls and an “in-progress” status when it comes to projects around Disney World. Though, we’re starting to wonder what’s happening with some highly anticipated restaurants that were seemingly announced eons ago.
Sometimes, you just gotta chow down on a little cake inspired by your favorite new TV show.
Amorettes
Luckily, we’ve had lots of chances since Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs has been releasing a whole slew of WandaVision-inspired retro TV cakes themed after the various episodes of the show. We’ve given two of them a try so far, and now ANOTHER WandaVision petite cake is here!
The Free Dining Offer has been a staple offering from Disney World fairly regularly since it first debuted in 2005.
Magic Kingdom
With the complex situation that is the current global health crisis (including the suspension of the Disney Dining Plan), we’re wondering if there will be a Free Dining deal at ALL in 2021? Let’s break down what could happen.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
