food IS a theme park
I CAN’T WAIT to start my holiday shopping — and I know exactly where I’m going to start!

Around this time of the year, you’ll often find me on my phone, scrolling through Amazon as I take advantage of holiday sales and snag long-wanted souvenirs that I’ve been eyeing all year. Sometimes, you’ll even catch me shopping for some Disney holiday merch — and Disney Adults are gonna love some of the stuff I’ve scoped out recently!
Attention Sam’s Club Members: A BRAND-NEW Disney Gift Card deal is available right now!
Disney gift cards!
Many Disney guests use gift cards for nearly everything, from actually paying for their trips in full to using them as a method of controlling spending money while on vacation. This method is especially beneficial at warehouse clubs like Sam’s Club, which often have discounts on gift cards that, in turn, give them de facto discounts on Disney trips and souvenirs.
RED ALERT! Christmas is under two months away, which means it’s time to start making those lists and buying those presents! And while I wasn’t planning on spending $50 today, I couldn’t pass it up when I saw these Toy Story souvenirs — they’re the PERFECT gifts for the little ones in my life!

If you have someone in your life who is obsessed with this crew (because let’s be honest, who isn’t?), now is the time to grab these souvenirs, especially since one of them is on sale! Let’s take a look!
Run — don’t walk — to pick up this amazing Disney souvenir!

Wouldn’t it be great if every LEGO set were available forever? Alas, that is not the case. LEGO periodically retires sets to make way for new offerings — which means the clock is always ticking when it comes to picking up that popular set you’ve had your eyes on. For one beloved Pixar set on Amazon, that end date is on the horizon, and we’ll be forced to wave goodbye as it goes up, up, and away from all online stores.
There’s a brand new collection on the Disney Store website right now, and it’s right up your alley if you’ve been really looking for those comfy vibes.

In fact, we’ve got a feeling it’ll be pretty popular and sell out fast, so if you want to add some of it to your closet, you’ll want to act fast!
Y’all!! A new Christmas Disney x Starbucks collection just released online. And guess what!! It includes those cool new Starbucks cup sleeves you’ve been seeing all over!!
NEW Starbucks Christmas collection!
Last week, we saw some items from a brand-new holiday Starbucks “Mint to Be” collection at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom. We found some of the same items at Hollywood Studios. The problem is that the collection was only available to guests at Disney World. Well, not anymore, because the new holiday collection just dropped online!
It’s 5:47 AM. You’re tucked into your bed at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, blissfully asleep after a 25,000-step park day. Your alarm isn’t set for another hour. Then BANG.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
No, that’s not the fireworks. And it’s not a dropped suitcase. It’s a door. Somebody three rooms down just headed out for rope drop, and they let their door slam shut behind them. And then — BANG — they forgot their MagicBand and went back in. Friends, we have a problem. We’re calling them Hall Trolls, and they’re lurking in Disney World hotels everywhere.
The holidays are in FULL SWING in Disney World, and yes, we wake up every morning singing holiday tunes on our way into the parks…because we can.
Is this the most adorable popcorn bucket ever?
And honestly, who can blame us? The decor all around the parks is still going up, but it’s looking beautiful so far, and both of the resort’s holiday parties — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights — are beginning starting today. If you don’t have a ticket to the parties, no worries, because there are still plenty of ways to experience holiday cheer around the parks. A new popcorn bucket just dropped in Magic Kingdom, and yes, we bought it IMMEDIATELY and have a feeling you will too!
In a world where money is tight and every dollar counts, do you really need Lightning Lane at EPCOT on your next trip?
Lightning Lane
When planning a Disney World vacation in 2027, there are several things to consider: When to go, where to stay, which discounts to take advantage of, and what Lightning Lane strategy to use! Each of Disney World’s theme parks requires a different strategy, including EPCOT. While Disney World’s second gate is a favorite of many Disney adults (GUILTY!), the park isn’t bursting at the seams with rides, meaning guests can be a bit more selective in how they deploy Lightning Lanes. However, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to plan, as the park’s most popular attractions fill up FAST!
As Disney foodies, we’re living the good life! Since August, we’ve been enjoying EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, and now we get to enjoy another food and wine event for a limited time.
Let’s eat!
Have you heard of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic? It’s an event that runs from November 20th through the 21st, from 5 PM to 9 PM each day, featuring gourmet cuisine from award-winning chefs, paired with fine wines, beers, and spirits from around the world. We got the awesome chance to check it out early, and we’re taking you with us!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
