Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is a NEW nighttime parade debuting on Main Street in Magic Kingdom on July 20th. But this parade is expected to be extremely popular, so Disney is making a significant change to its Park Pass Reservation system. Ahead of those changes, Disney has shared an update on the My Disney Experience app and website.

So far, we’ve seen the return of some beloved shows, as well as limited-time entertainment, colorful decor, special food and beverages, exclusive merchandise, and more! While we were spending time in the park on its official anniversary, July 17th, we happened to notice a new DOLE Whip flavor we had never seen before — so of course, we had to try it!
Change is in the air at both Disneyland and Disney World.
“it’s a small world”
In Disney World, three new lands are coming to three parks, while Disneyland is seeing a lot of updates RIGHT NOW as part of its 70th Anniversary Celebration. One of the biggest Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration updates has been made to “it’s a small world,” which just debuted a new verse in both Disneyland AND Disney World. We visited Disney World this morning and rode “it’s a small world” to check it out.

Disneyland has NEW RULES that you need to be aware of before your next visit…
Sleeping Beauty Castle

We often recommend going hands-free with a fanny pack for a park bag, and it’s no secret we recommend bringing along a water bottle — and even a poncho for those sudden afternoon thunderstorms at Disney World. A cooling towel isn’t a bad idea, and even a mini-fan if you’ve got the room. But, what if we told you there was ONE thing you could buy that came with all of these items and more?!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

But, if you’re looking for a fun, interactive, CUSTOM Disney World treat — there’s only one place to find it. Come with us to Goofy’s Candy Co. at Disney Springs!
