One way they do that is with special merchandise! There are always souvenirs to celebrate the festival, and Disney just dropped a new look at a bunch of merchandise coming, and we’re just buzzing about it.
EPCOT is full of great restaurants with unique flavors and dishes, and we love the variety that you will find in this park.
Spaceship Earth
At EPCOT, dining isn’t just a pit stop; it’s practically an attraction itself. You can blast off to space at Space 220 in World Discovery, spin through harvest-fresh comfort food at The Garden Grill inside The Land Pavilion, grab quick bites at Connections Eatery in World Celebration, or snack your way around the globe in nearly every World Showcase country. We love eating our way through EPCOT, but there’s one restaurant where the atmosphere alone might raise your heart rate, even though the food is seriously worth it.
It’s IMPOSSIBLE to ignore all the work being done in Magic Kingdom, but the good news is that all this construction means real, tangible progress!

Let’s dive into everything we’ve seen so far during this early stretch of 2026 and what we can expect to see in the coming months!

We can’t tell you how many times we’ve been in Magic Kingdom only to find that we’re missing some essentials, or we see that guests around us are deeply regretting not having one thing or another with them.

We’re in Disney World every day, not to mention the members of our team who don’t live locally, write about the parks each day, but yes, we still make mistakes when it comes to packing! I reached out to members of the team and asked them to tell me some things that they make sure they ALWAYS bring to Magic Kingdom, and added in some of my own as well, so without further ado, here’s the ULTIMATE list of what you should pack in your bag to be prepared for the day!
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is a wildly popular attraction at Epic Universe. The ride takes you through the Ministry of Magic with magical, omnidirectional lifts that can propel you forwards, backwards, up, down, or sideways.

The ride is an engineering feat and received critical acclaim – but the guest experience tells a different story. It often breaks down, and guests have reported being stuck for hours or even being injured during these malfunctions.
We’re all about staying comfy these days — but that doesn’t mean we’re sacrificing style!
