What better way to celebrate your Disney World trip than with some super cute accessories?!
Celebrity 5 & 10
Around Disney World, you’ll find jewelry, Minnie ears, hats, and everything in-between to add a little Disney style to your park wardrobe. The only problem is trying to decide which accessory to buy! Today we spotted a new souvenir that could make the decision a bit easier (especially for kiddos) — it’s a hat, Mickey ears, and a tiara all in one!
So far, we’ve already seen some awesome Minnie ears released this year, including sparkly Valentine’s Day ones and Annual Passholder exclusive ears.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
But, today, as we made our way around Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we found ANOTHER new set of Minnie ears! If you are a big runDisney fan or you know someone who is, you’ll definitely want to check these out.

When one visits EPCOT, one snacks around the world in World Showcase! And one of those quintessential snack spots in World Showcase has got to be Kringla Bakeri Og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion.

Home to the beloved School Bread, Kringla Bakeri Og Cafe is a great place to find some unique desserts at an affordable price! We stopped in today as we often do, and we were surprised to see a NEW menu addition!

And now we’ve got a FIRST LOOK at Tom Holland in action and a behind-the-scenes look at the ride!
Disney World has implemented limited capacities for all the theme parks including gift shops, restaurants, and attractions.
Dok Ondar’s Line
Virtual queues for gift shops and other locations have been introduced to help reduce crowding and lines. Sometimes, guests will need to scan a QR code that will redirect to a virtual queue sign up. Other times, they need to talk to a Cast Member to get “in line.” Once you’re signed up, you can enjoy other parts of the park until it’s your time to return. We noticed the virtual queue sign up was a little different at Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
We talk a lot about how Disney is on the cutting edge of technology — and that’s true — but that’s not the only tool they have in their kit.
Star Wars Lightsaber Experience

We recently shared some Valentine’s Day Minnie ears that we spotted in our local Disney store, and now those same ears are available in Disney World — and we’ve got the details on where to find them!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
