The holiday season is almost here!
We’ve already shown you Amazon Prime deals, unique Disney gifts, Loungefly backpacks, and more, and now we’ve got some adorable stocking stuffer items that are sure you make awesome gifts for your friends and family!
We have seen so many NEW things in EPCOT that we’ve almost lost track of everything that’s part of the park’s transformation.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve been keeping an eye on the construction progress of the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction that’s coming soon. Disney also recently revealed a sneak peek at the new Walt Disney statue we’ll soon see in the park. But one thing Disney has been quiet about is the Play! Pavilion, but we’ve got some construction updates for you!
There are literally thousands of pieces of merchandise in Disney World (maybe more!) but there are some that are much more popular than others.

Spirit Jerseys, Crocs, Minnie ears, and Starbucks tumblers — just to name a few — are among some of the most common souvenirs and collectibles that people bring home from Disney World. But if you’re the type who likes to get some bang for their buck, you might be a popcorn bucket fanatic instead. And there’s a new popcorn bucket design releasing soon!
Got the Disney shopping bug?
We love shopping at Disney Springs!
Then you might want to head to Disney Springs on your next visit to Disney World! You can find all kinds of merchandise locations there featuring everything from Disney apparel to home decor, toys, and more. We were taking a stroll through the Springs recently when we noticed that something was MISSING from its usual spot, and it turns out — The Dress Shop is CLOSED in Disney Springs — sort of!
Price increases hit Disney World in a huge wave recently, with hundreds of menu items increasing in cost. We also saw some special experiences get more expensive, such as building a lightsaber in Galaxy’s Edge.
Minnie ears
It looks like the price increases aren’t over yet — one very popular souvenir just got quite a bit more expensive in the parks.
The ongoing streaming wars between several of the industry’s biggest names have prompted new content, price increases, and a shift from ad-free streaming to ad-supported tiers.

We’ve already seen that Disney+ is going to get a new ad-supported tier this coming December, with the cost of ad-free streaming going up by a few dollars. Later, Netflix announced that its own ad-supported tier would debut before Disney’s, in November of this year. Now, we have an update on the ad-supported tier coming to Netflix, including the cost of each plan, what the ads will look like, and when it will actually debut. [Read more…]
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations have now been running for more than a year, but Disney’s not slowing down with the new merchandise!
We love 50th Anniversary merchandise!
We’ve continued to see new 50th Anniversary merchandise collections, including additions to the Vault Collection merchandise, a bunch of items from brands like Vans and COACH, as well as new Starbucks tumblers and other souvenirs. And now, there’s a new spirit jersey to add to the collection!
Disney World is not just for play – a lot of work goes on there, too! And we don’t just mean the hard-working Cast Members. Actually, a LOT of conventions, business meetings, and other gatherings take place at the parks and resorts.

Don’t worry – we’re here to help you out. We’ve got lots of tips and tricks to help you have the best time in between all of those meetings.
Sorry Halloween, but the holiday season is already creeping in and starting to take over. We haven’t decided on a costume, been trick-or-treating, or even seen all the scary movies that we have planned for this year, but we’re keeping a close eye on stocking stuffers and Christmas tree ornaments even as we embrace spooky season.
