food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Holiday Gertie at Hollywood Studios
So what’s new since the last time we were here? Let’s check out the updates!
The Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collections have been incredibly popular this year!
Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Haunted Mansion Ears
Featuring fan-favorite Disney attractions like Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, and “it’s a small world,” some of these collections have sold out incredibly quickly! This month’s collection features the beloved and hilarious Disney classic, the Jungle Cruise. While the option became available a few days ago to sign up for MerchPass on shopDisney, we’ve now spotted the collection in Walt Disney World!
We’re stepping foot in a Disneyland theme park for the first time since MARCH today. Wowza.
Buena Vista Street Decorations
If you want to follow along with our Buena Vista Street adventures, you check in as we report LIVE! In the meantime though, we’ve got an update on Mobile Order in Buena Vista Street!
If you’re a fan of Star Wars TV shows, then you know that Ahsoka Tano has some of the coolest lightsabers out there!

First of all, she wields TWO lightsabers instead of just one (known as Jar’Kai in the Star Wars universe), and it’s not a skill that we often see utilized. On top of that, her lightsaber color changes multiple times as a character, going from blue to green to white. Disney’s definitely capitalized on this, selling both color-changing Ahsoka lightsabers, and the white versions! You can even get her lightsabers outside of the Disney parks, and today there are a limited number of sabers autographed by Ahsoka Tano herself!
Rainforest Café is gearing up for Thanksgiving Day with a special meal for the occasion!
Rainforest Cafe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Before we dive into what’s on the menu, just a friendly reminder that there are TWO Rainforest Café locations in Disney World: one in the Disney Springs Marketplace, and the other just outside of the entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
And now that that’s covered, let’s talk TURKEY! [Read more…]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and you know what that means! It’s HOLIDAY SPECIALS SEASON! We’ve been curious as to how holiday specials would look during this very strange year — if we had them at all!

Well, luckily, we learned the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Celebration and The Disney Holiday Singalong are coming this season, and now we know when ANOTHER Disney Parks holiday special will happen. Spoiler: It’s soon!
In the words of the great Mickey Mouse, “Oh, boy!”

Earlier this year we got a first look at the newest pair of Designer Mickey Ears by Bret Iwan (the VOICE of Mickey!). Production delays pushed these back from their summer release, but they’re finally here TODAY and they didn’t come alone!
Aside from shopping at the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop, we haven’t stepped foot INSIDE a Disneyland Resort theme park since March!
Disney California Adventure Park
But that is all about to change TODAY! It may not be the same as running through the park and riding Radiator Springs Racers or the Incredicoaster, but today we’re going to have the chance to walk down Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure for some shopping and dining and we could practically cry of excitement (tears may or may not have already been shed). Come along with us and take a virtual trip to the reopening of Buena Vista Street!
Warm holiday wishes from the Magic Kingdom in Disney World!
Holiday Character Cavalcade
We’ve been making Christmas-filled trips to all the parks! We’re seeking out new goodies and more surprises this holiday season. Come see what we found at the Magic Kingdom recently!
Our wish list keeps growing and growing each time we visit the Disney Parks or go on an online shopping spree! Disney has just been keeping up its A-game with cute apparel, accessories, and toys that we absolutely adore.
Holiday Merchandise
But, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide which gifts you should get for your family members. Would your mom love those Minnie earrings or new Dooney and Bourke bag more? Are your kiddos more into Star Wars or Marvel? Well, we’re here to help you find the best Disney gifts of the holiday season that your whole family will love!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
