food IS a theme park
Welcome back to another roundup of what’s new at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT is gearing up to start the Festival of the Holidays next week, so in the meantime, we’re checking out the latest merchandise finds as well as checking in on our favorite rides!
Disney loves taking advantage of new technology to change how guests experience the parks.
Scan in!
The My Disney Experience app allows you to do things like look at wait times, maps, menus, and more. And now, with Disney Genie on the app, it can even plan your day for you! Another feature of the app is Disney MagicMobile. This system acts as your ticket and allows you to enter the theme parks, lets you connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account, and gets you into the Lightning Lanes of rides (if you’re using Genie+). And now, MagicMobile has added a new feature!
New Year’s Eve is a VERY busy time at Disney World — who doesn’t want to ring in the New Year with Mickey Mouse and Friends? And who doesn’t want to indulge in some fun New Year’s snacks?
Happy New Year!
But now that we have park pass reservations, getting into the parks on New Year’s Eve can be tricky unless you planned way ahead — those park pass reservations can fill up FAST.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Late last month, Shanghai Disneyland temporarily re-closed in order to “cooperate with the pandemic investigation in other provinces and cities.” The closure wound up lasting through November 2nd, and the resort has since reopened.

Now, another international Disney park has temporarily re-close due to COVID-19.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary has come with a lot of new merchandise!
Happy Birthday, Disney World!
We’ve seen a bunch of Minnie Ears, several different collections, and special things like popcorn buckets and balloons. One of those items was the 50th Anniversary Celebration Minnie Mouse Sipper. It was in Magic Kingdom on October 1st, but quickly sold out. Now, it’s coming back to the park, but in an unusual way.
Some of the most popular souvenirs in Disney World lately have been the Starbucks mugs, tumblers, and ornaments.
Get them before they’re gone!
We’ve seen some vintage-style cups as part of the Vault collection, holiday patterns, and a luxurious 50th Anniversary tumbler recently. These are notorious for disappearing from the shelves and shopDisney (Disney’s online store) pretty quickly. But if you’ve been searching for some of these popular items, then we’ve got great news for you! [Read more…]
