food IS a theme park
In case you missed it, today is National Polka Dot Day, which is when we celebrate all things Minnie Mouse!
Mickey and Minnie
And no one rocks polka dots like our girl Minnie! That’s why we’ve seen some really cool new merch drop dedicated to her stylish dots, including a new HARVEYS collection! And there is plenty of other polka dot merch available, too! Disney has also announced a special virtual event to honor the world’s most fashionable mouse.
If you know us, you know we love a good EPCOT festival.

Incidentally, we also love a good Disney face mask. At this point, our collections are getting a little bit out of hand. Well, looks like we’re going to have to snag another because Disney just released an AMAZING face mask for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts.
We’ve been eating ALL the treats, checking out the photo ops, and enjoying the amazing entertainment at EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts this year.

We’ve also been looking at all of the cool festival merchandise and incredible pieces of art created by all of the featured artists. Not too long ago, we shared a first look at some new Mickey ears that are covered in some fantastic art inspired by the movie Up. And now, the designer Up ears are finally available in Disney World!
Streaming is a pretty big deal nowadays.

Take Disney, for example! The Walt Disney Company has made a major switch to a focus on streaming in the past year and announced over 100 new streaming titles. Well, audiences are definitely tuning in and two Disney+ titles brought MAJOR viewership at the end of 2020.
During Disney’s most recent Investor Day conference, we got to hear about TONS of new shows and movies coming to Disney+ or theaters in the next few years.

And while Disneyland and some of Disney’s other theme parks around the world are currently closed, Disney World and other Disney theme parks are currently open. Taking all of this into account and with news of vaccines already starting to be distributed in the United States, one analyst has upgraded his rating of Disney’s stock.
Welcome back to another episode of…What’s New at Hollywood Studios!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We took a stroll around the glitz and glamour of the bustling young movie town this week. Here, we found new merchandise and had a VERY interesting experience with the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group proccess.
Now that we’ve put the holidays behind us, we’re getting ready for the most romantic day of the year: Valentine’s Day!
Art of Animation Resort
And we’re already seeing some Valentine’s Day things popping up in the parks and online, including Minnie ears, A Valentine’s Day Mickey and Minnie Doll Set, and even a Valentine’s Day Disney Dooney & Bourke collection!
We’re still awaiting the day when we can sail aboard the Disney Cruise Line again. Disney has noted that the cruise line would be the last of its businesses to resume, and that its return to cruising would be delayed by the CDC’s new requirements.
Disney Cruise Line
At the moment, Disney Cruise Line has canceled sailings through March of 2021 and select sailings longer than 7 nights as well. To give some flexibility to those with cruises planned for this year, Disney has also adopted some temporarily final payment extensions and has gradually been extending its cruise date flexibility option. And now both of those have been extended once again.
Let’s face it — Minnie Mouse is a style icon! And no one can rock polka dots like her!
