food IS a theme park
It’s only August, but we’re already getting ready for 2021.
2021 Calendar
Recently, we found a 2021 calendar in EPCOT, and now we’ve found a NEW 2021 calendar in Magic Kingdom! If you’re a fan of Disney Parks posters, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!
We can’t be in a Disney park all the time, so we love to use Disney mugs at home to remind us of some of our favorite “magical” locales!
Rainbow Disney Mug
Whatever your chosen beverage (no judgment), it’s definitely more magical to drink it out of a Disney-themed mug (like one of these featuring the Fab Five)! Or perhaps you’d prefer to add a little Hocus Pocus to your morning beverage. And have you seen this adorable Baby Yoda tiki mug? It is perfect! We have spoken. But no matter how full our cupboards get, there is always room for another Disney mug… .
It’s official. Summer is over (in our heads anyway). Halloween season is here and we are loving it!!

That’s right! Kiss those sunny days away! We’re ready for a Halloween spirit jersey, spooky snacks, and a frightfully wonderful movie night! Target is also getting in on the Halloween action (as they do each year!) with lots of NEW adorable Disney-themed Halloween merchandise! They really are spook-tacular!
As Walt Disney World has gradually reopened, so have some of the restaurants in the parks and resorts!
Mickey Plates
Although there have been some adjustments to ensure social distancing and other safety measures are carried out, spots like California Grill and Biergarten Restaurant have reopened with some delicious items for guests to enjoy. Now, we’ve gotten word that a LOUNGE at one of the Disney resorts may be reopening soon and we’re incredibly excited!
Not too long ago, we found out that Splash Mountain is set to be re-themed to a new Princess and the Frog attraction!

Ever since that announcement, we’ve seen Splash Mountain merchandise become incredibly more popular! But one Splash Mountain-related area in Magic Kingdom has been rather quietly closed, and now it looks like that closure may continue for at least a little while longer.
Minnie Mouse has been gracing us with her presence on all kinds of new adorable merchandise lately and we LOVE IT!
Minnie Mouse Backpack
We’ve seen all kinds of new Minnie ears and fun limited-time merchandise from the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Series! Recently, while we were strolling around Magic Kingdom, we spotted Minnie in a new adorable plush form with a very vintage look!
We may not be able to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, but does that mean we won’t get any Halloween decorations in the parks at all?
Halloween at Magic Kingdom
We love seeing all of those fall-colored flags and adorable pumpkin wreaths as we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. with a fall-flavored Starbucks coffee in hand! Well, we spoke to some Cast Members today in Magic Kingdom and we’ve got an update!
Due to the current global situation, guests have not been able to board the Disney Cruise Line for their sailings as previously scheduled.

While Fall 2021 sail dates have been released, Disney Cruise Line has repeatedly had to suspend departure dates for 2020. Now, it looks like Disney Cruise Line will be pushing back its departure dates for 2020 once again!
shopDisney has come out with some seriously cute (and even some spooky!) new items lately!

Whether you’re looking for some Halloween fun, or you simply can’t get enough of Baby Yoda, there are TONS of new merchandise items appearing all the time! Now, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can truly shop ’till they drop with a NEW limited-time discount on shopDisney!
When Walt Disney World reopened, we were introduced to a whole bunch of new policies and procedures.
Magic Kingdom
One of the biggest changes we’ve seen is the introduction of the Park Pass Reservation System. Thanks to today’s quarterly earnings call, where the Walt Disney Company discussed the results of its third fiscal quarter of 2020, we’ve got more news about how limited capacity is being handled for Disney World’s Passholders and locals.
