Since Disney World has reopened, we’ve seen a lot of classic Disney experiences get a creative new approach.
Character Boats in Animal Kingdom
For example, character meet-and-greets have looked a bit different to comply with physical distancing. Luckily, Disney has kept the magic alive by introducing distanced character experiences and so far we’ve seen several of our favorite characters like Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, and even Anna and Elsa!
The Disney Castle Collection has been a standout merchandise collection this year.

These collections are based on different castles from Disney films and include several merch items from figurines to journals. And while we’ve seen sets from Mulan, Frozen, and Cinderella, another Disney princess is getting her own collection!

On October 20th, the state of California released its reopening guidelines.

With the winter season around the corner, we’ve seen lots of Disney holiday goodies both in the parks and online.
