Longtime employees have left, operations have been amended, and most recently, employee Disney World Annual Pass benefits were replaced with a stipend. The park pass change follows the latest board meeting, where we also learned just how much they plan on budgeting to fight Disney in federal court.
So, we know a lot of you visit Disney World pretty often.
Wawa
And maybe, just maybe, you’ve stopped at a few locations OUTSIDE Disney World for food, like at the massive McDonald’s nearby, the White Castle, or maybe even the Wawa gas station. We’ve actually taste-tested some food at Wawa and found some snacks similar to the ones at Disney World! Well, you will soon be able to grab some of those snacks in Ohio!
This is not a drill! There are brand-NEW Disney Loungefly bags on Amazon right now!
Well, time to buy more Loungeflys.

Sir Michael Gambon, the Irish actor who played Albus Dumbledore throughout the last six Harry Potter films was one of those personas.

Bring on the candy, and also bring on all the fun Disney Halloween merchandise. You ready? We just found some Halloween tees you are SURE to want to grab.
I was 13 years old when I headed into the movie theater to see Frozen for the first time, and despite all the rage and angst that comes along with being a teenage girl in the 8th grade, I sobbed for 25 minutes over the unbreakable bond between two sisters.

Now, I still sob over the unbreakable bond between two sisters every time I watch Frozen (and Frozen 2!), and many other Disney fans are right there with me. Yes, it has been nearly 10 years since Frozen debuted in theaters, and since then, it has thawed the frozen hearts of teenage girls and grown adults alike — and has managed to remain an obsession among children around the globe for an entire decade. Disney has announced a THIRD Frozen film in the works, and now, they’re doing something special for the 10-year anniversary of the original film.

We’ve seen some pretty incredible merch drops from Disney lately — especially the spooky season items!

From ears to Loungefly bags to clothing and more, there’s probably something for just about everyone. But, there’s one piece of merch, in particular, that we’ve had our eyes on for a while and now we know just when it will arrive!
