Disney World is pretty magical in itself, but one thing that makes it even more exciting is that no two weeks are ever the same.
Each week, we get new merchandise items in the shops, new menu items, and we even encounter unexpected magical moments here and there. That’s one of the biggest aspects that draws us into the parks and what keeps us going back for more. This week was no different, and there were three HUGE changes in the parks that had us doing a celebratory happy dance.
So… maybe they weren’t HUGE changes. They’re definitely subtle changes. HOWEVERRRR, they are changes that take up a huge place in our hearts. Okay, we’ll quit with the drama and tell you about the fun news from this week. Let’s go!
Flowers spotted at Fairytale Garden
On September 15th, Magic Kingdom visitors will be able to meet both Mirabel and Bruno from Encanto at Fairytale Garden!
We can tell that the special day is creeping closer, because Fairytale Garden now boasts beautiful new flowers. Do we think Casita would approve?

Cocoa Puffs are BACK in Galaxy’s Edge
Early in August, the cocoa puffs that typically top the Black Caf Cold Brew drink at Kat Saka’s Kettle in Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (that was a mouthful) disappeared! They were replaced with cocoa krispies.
This week, the cocoa puffs made a reappearance. The Cast Member told us that the cargo got delayed. In other words, there were supply chain issues.

One of our favorite Gideon’s cookies is back WITH AN UPDATE.
Gideon’s is now serving up its September menu, and on the menu is a newer version of one of our FAVORITE cookies. The updated cookie is the Lemon Poppy Crumb Cookie, AKA Bonnie’s Cookie.
If you love lemon desserts, you’ll love this cookie. Get it while you can! This cookie is one of AJ’s favorites EVER! It’s only available during September, so make haste.
