food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Mickey-shaped food!
Mickey Waffle at Magic Kingdom
We love our Mickey-shaped treats, like Mickey waffles, Mickey cupcakes, Mickey Rice Krispy treats, and more! And, we love finding merchandise celebrating our love of Mickey snacks!
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion!
Haunted Mansion
No phrase fills us with so much ghoulish delight! And we love seeing all the fun Haunted Mansion stuff out there, including sippers, gargoyle statues, clothing, and more!
There are all kinds of ways you can celebrate Valentine’s Day in Disney World or at home.
Sprinkles in Disney Springs
And included in that fun are lots of unique Valentine’s Day treats you can munch on. Recently, we had a crunchy(!!) Valentine’s Day cupcake over at Sprinkles. But, now Sprinkles is giving you another way to enjoy this crunchiness with a twist on a nostalgic treat!
A number of months ago, Disney shared that its cruising industry would be the last of its businesses to resume.
The Disney Wonder
So far, we have seen Disney cruises canceled through April, with select cruises canceled through May, and select cruises over 7 nights canceled as well. But, now a major restriction has been announced that could impact a lot of cruises, beyond just Disney Cruise Line.
Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons resumed operations last year in October, with new health and safety guidelines in place.

And weddings are a BIG deal at Disney, which is why we’re constantly seeing new wedding dress collections, merchandise collections, and more! Where better to celebrate love than Disney World?
D23, Disney’s official fan club, tends to offer its members the perk of snagging early access to some collectible Disney merchandise.

Last year, members got to snag a limited edition Mickey plush early every month and a similar monthly collection has kicked off this year. The series is called “Treasures from the Vault” and features plushes inspired by themes and characters from 1930 to 1970. Now, the February collectibles have arrived and yes, there are TWO of them!
It can be hard to see some really SWEET merchandise only to find out it’s a park-exclusive or sold out once you arrive.

Well, all is not COMPLETELY lost. Sometimes, the Disney-owned El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles releases a treat by selling Disney Parks-exclusive souvenirs that can be shipped RIGHT to your home. We’ve seen exclusive popcorn buckets, holiday souvenirs, and even the iconic kitchen sink bowls! Now, some more fan-favorite items are available to be shipped to you!
We’ve got GREAT news for fairytale fans.

The tale of Cinderella has had a BUNCH of iterations. Sure, Disney’s Cinderella is certainly iconic, but the fandom garnered by Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella with Brandy and Whitney Houston is nothing to scoff at. Now, this fan-favorite film is going to get a WHOLE lot easier to watch!
A special someone has a big anniversary this year!
Winnie the Pooh in Epcot
That willy, nilly, silly ol’ bear better known as Winnie the Pooh is celebrating his 55th anniversary with Disney this year. In February 1966, Pooh’s first animated featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, was released in the US!
