On the evening of January 7th, 2021, a brief statement was posted to the Walt Disney Company’s Twitter page.
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a little while, you start to get nostalgic for the WEIRDEST things — trust us. Sure, you’ll miss Space Mountain and Dole Whips, but you may miss the quirks of a Disney theme park, like walking through a massive crowd while a toddler in a stroller blows bubbles in your face.

OK, bubble wands may be one of those souvenirs you kind of regret buying at Walt Disney World, but there’s no denying one thing: the kiddos LOVE them.
When it comes to all things Disney, we love Disney princesses!

But we also love Disney food, and that includes our beloved Dole Whip! And we even love variations of it, including the Dole Whip Float, the Raspberry Dole Whip, and the Dole Whip INSIDE a pineapple!
We recently shared the SWEET retro Disney collectibles that D23 gold members get when they sign up.

On top of that, at times, members can also get early access to limited edition monthly plush collection releases! We just shared info about a limited edition plush release and now it’s time to chat about another.
D23 members tend to get early access to select Disney merchandise. Last year, members received early access to purchase a limited edition Mickey plush every month!

We recently learned that D23 would be doing a similar collection in 2021, but this time the theme is “Treasures From The Vault” and will feature plushes inspired by themes and characters from 1930 to 1970! And now we know what that first plush release is!
Last year, the global health crisis shut down all Disney Parks, including Tokyo Disney Resort, which includes two theme parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

Both parks reopened last summer, and eventually, some entertainment resumed, including character meet and greets, and nighttime parades and fireworks.

This month, you can give your tech a makeover with a new collection of tech accessories coming from a Disney and CASETiFY crossover! Their new series, “Mickey Mouse Club,” puts a modern spin on the OG Mickey Mouse era!
During Disney’s last quarterly earnings call, we got to hear a bit more about Disney’s focus on its direct-to-consumer businesses and updates about Disney+.
Sword in the Stone
We also learned that Disney World had then increased its capacity from 25% to 35%, and that Thanksgiving week back in 2020 was almost at capacity. Soon we’ll get to listen in on another quarterly earnings report that will give us an update on how things are looking financially for the Walt Disney Company right now, and Disney has just shared when this next earnings call will take place.
Due to the global health crisis, Tokyo Disney Resort shut down last year, along with all of Disney’s other parks locations.

The resort’s theme parks reopened in July and eventually saw the return of nighttime fireworks and parades, as well as character meet and greets in the fall. Now, they’re taking a step back and reducing hours in their theme parks.
