food IS a theme park
Stitch Crashes Disney has given us some, um, interesting design choices.
Stitch Crashes Snow White
While we’ve already seen the newest Stitch Crashes Disney collection, Stitch Crashes Snow White, in Disney World, it’s now officially online and you probably want to hurry!
Whether you start celebrating Halloween on October 1st or you break out your pumpkins in early August like Disney World does, you can’t deny that the spooky season is in full swing everywhere you look!
Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom!
As you decorate your house for the fall, don’t forget to stock your kitchen with all of those Halloween essentials! We found some Disney items around the world wide web that we wanted to share with you!
Everyone loves a Disney t-shirt, right? They’re perfect to wear for a day in Disney Parks, or even just a regular day at home for a touch of Disney magic.
T-Shirts
Sometimes, kids find typical t-shirts with itchy tags and seams uncomfortable, and they might feel left out if they can’t find a comfy Disney shirt to wear. But did you know that Disney has a sensory-friendly collection of t-shirts for kids? If you know a kid who would love a comfortable Disney t-shirt, here’s where you can find one!
We’re just a few weeks away from the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Cinderella Castle is Ready for the 50th!
We’ve spotted 50th Anniversary golden statues in several of the parks, 50th Anniversary banners, and 50th Anniversary merchandise. Select guests were also able to get their hands on a special 50th Anniversary MagicBand! Now, more 50th Anniversary items have arrived, but only a select group of guests will be able to bring them home.
Remember that really cute Tangled-inspired cottage we looked at earlier this week?

We’re still hung up on the idea of staying in a Disney-themed house. And now we’ve found one that’s perfect for fans of Winnie the Pooh! Don’t worry, there are no Heffalumps or Woozles at this quaint house.
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.
The global pandemic continues to impact the theme park industry.
Mask sign in Disney World
COVID-19 caused extended shutdowns of theme parks in 2020, and then when they returned, there were several safety measures implemented like masks, temperature checks, and social distancing. Some of those safety measures have been reduced or done away with altogether as the pandemic continues, especially once vaccines became widely available. Vaccine mandates have been issued by President Biden, companies like the Walt Disney Company, and by individual cities and counties. And soon, Los Angeles County will be requiring proof of vaccination in more locations.
Do you love themed Minnie ears and character mugs? These items can be great to grab and bring home, but the price of these souvenirs plus shipping can add up. So we like to keep an eye out for sales that could help you grab some great Disney gear for a little bit less.
The Emporium
If you’ve had your eye on a certain piece of Disney merchandise for a while now — and have just been waiting for a good enough reason to finally buy it — we can definitely relate. And now we’ve got some great news for you!
Disney World’s new Star Wars hotel, the Galactic Starcruiser, is slated to open in Spring of 2022 and Disney is starting to celebrate a little early.

Guests who stay at the Galactic Starcruiser will visit for two nights, during which they’ll be able to participate in tons of Star Wars activities, including “Story Moments” that can change your experience depending on which characters you interact with, droid racing, a visit to Batuu in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more. Today there’s a new way to bring the Galactic Starcruiser right to your devices, and it’s left us wondering which side we’d join. Maybe it will give you an idea of who you are in the Star Wars universe!
Your next trip to McDonald’s just turned into a bit of a celebration!

We recently heard that McDonald’s would reveal 50 (yes, FIFTY) Happy Meal Toys for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. Well, that day has come. Here’s how YOU can celebrate Disney World’s 50th at your local McDonald’s!
We’ve seen many Disney park closures over the years.
We definitely missed Disneyland when it was closed!
All the parks around the world had massive closures last year (and into this year) due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but they’ve also closed in the past for various weather conditions. Shanghai Disney Resort was closed this week for that very reason, but it’ll soon be back up and running!
