The Disney fan in your life deserves to be SPOILED this holiday season and we’re not just saying that to try and convince our own family members and friends (okay…mayyyybe we are). There are so many great souvenirs and collectibles online this time of year, and we’re here to tell you about some hot commodities on sale right now!
Recently, Disney World announced that a classic Hollywood Studios attraction is CLOSING.

That’s right, we’ll soon be saying goodbye to Muppet*Vision 3D and all of Muppets Courtyard as the area gets replaced with a Monsters, Inc.-themed land. As a consolation, Disney will be replacing Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster with a Muppets coaster. But even with that change, the loss of Muppet*Vision is pretty controversial — and fans have a lot of questions and concerns!
Big changes are coming to Disney World!
Hollywood Studios
From a new Tropical Americas Land in Animal Kingdom to Villains Land and Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom, there’s going to be so much to see in the coming years. But one of the biggest surprises that Disney dropped on us was the new Monsters, Inc. Land coming to Hollywood Studios…and now we know where it will be located!
We’re getting some big additions in EPCOT next year!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Test Track will reopen with an entire new theme and look, and a brand-new lounge is coming to Spaceship Earth. We can’t wait to check out that new dining space, but as Disney fans, our team has some demands about what we’d like to see included!
Who’s excited about the NEW theme park coming to Orlando?!

Universal Epic Universe is set to open in May 2025 and we can’t wait! There are going to be five different lands to explore, along with dozens of attractions, restaurants, entertainment offerings, and shops. We know Harry Potter fans are hyped about stepping into the newest addition of the Wizarding World, and today, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming attraction!
If you’re going to Disney World for the holiday season, there are quite a few limited-time souvenirs to shop!
Christmas Season at Magic Kingdom
Between exclusive merchandise for the holiday parties, the regular Christmas collection, and special collectibles like popcorn buckets, we’re definitely tempted to raise those souvenir budgets this time of year. And if you’re a Pixar fan, there’s a new item you’ll want to add to your shopping list!
There are some exciting changes coming to Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
With big expansions like Villains Land and the upcoming transformation of Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America into two Cars attractions, there are going to be a lot of new offerings to check out in the next several years. But before all of that happens, there will be a new lounge for Disney Vacation Club members!
We’ve spent a LOT of money on Disney accessories over the years. Maybe even an embarrassing amount.
Time to do some shopping!
With collections of Minnie ears, Loungefly backpacks, hats, and more, the members of our team are certainly not underdressed for Disney-themed celebrations. But now, we’re all collectively ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the latest must-have item to arrive in the Disney Store.
If you’re planning your next vacation, you might be trying to decide which airline to use.
Orlando International Airport
There are so many options out there these days, from budget airlines to more luxury offerings, and they all come with different amenities, rules, and flight times. If you’re looking to fly on the cheap, one of the most popular choices is Spirit Airlines…but now they’ve run into some problems.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
