food IS a theme park
There is SO much to see and do in EPCOT, like riding attractions, drinking your way around the World Showcase, and eating all the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival goodies!
Food and Wine Festival
But meeting characters is also something you can do, and if you’re paying attention, you might find that some characters sport special outfits for certain events. We just spotted one such character all dressed up for the EPCOT Food & Festival.
Still can’t decide what you want to be for Halloween? Don’t worry, we’re in the same boat.
Halloween in Disney!
We went to the first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and saw some amazing costumes, and we even shared ideas of costumes you can wear to the Halloween party! But if your kiddo is still having trouble deciding — don’t worry! Disney has released even MORE Halloween costumes online that might be exactly what you’re trying to find.
As far as creativity goes — Disney sets the bar pretty high.
EPCOT at night
Just take a look at their themed lands, festivals, merchandise, and entertainment. Their innovative and unique creations are often unmatched. And that’s exactly why we’re not too surprised to see that they received 10 Toy Nominations for the September 2022 Toy of the Year Awards. And if you want to snag some of these toys for yourself or your kiddos — now is your chance!
A NEW type of Disney merchandise has begun taking over the parks!
All those ears!
And no, we’re not talking about Minnie ears, spirit jerseys, mugs, or another type of merchandise that probably popped into your head. This style of merchandise is very unique. It looks cute (not unique, SO many Disney items are cute), BUT it’s actually kinda painful to wear! Introducing: Plastic Character Headbands!
One of our favorite phone case brands dropped a new Disney collection, and we are buzzing with excitement!
Casetify
Toy Story now has a whole line of phone cases and electronics accessories on Casetify. Characters from all four Toy Story movies will be featured on phone cases, AirPod cases, watch bands, and more!
MagicBand+ has finally launched in Disney World!
MagicBand+
Yes, there have been some road bumps — glitchy character statues, delayed MagicBand+ arrivals, and some confusing elements. But it’s not all bad. Many guests have had a great experience with the new interactive features, and enjoy the MagicBand+ designs available around the resort and online. And, speaking of, 17(!!!) new designs have joined the mix — check out a few of our favorites!
Over the past year, we’ve seen many price increases hit the Disney Parks.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
We’ve seen prices go up on everything from spirit jerseys to nuiMOs to food. Over in Disneyland, we saw the price of park tickets AND parking go up, too. Now, even more price increases are hitting Disneyland, this time in food spots across Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Disney has been partnering with a number of brands to release ultimate luxury collections, such as Coach, Gucci, and more.
Disney x Coach Collection
If you’re a fan of luxury brands and are okay with splurging on a designer collection that costs more than a Disney Parks ticket, a shoe designer has just partnered with Disney to create a special limited-edition shoe collection!
Planning a Disney trip can be STRESSFUL. You’ve got to think about hotel reservations, where to eat, and getting those park passes before they run out. That’s why many people plan their Disney vacation several months or even years in advance.
Disneyland
With so much to think about, it’s best to start planning as early as possible. So if you’re hoping to visit Disneyland sometime in 2023, we’ve got important news for you! [Read more…]
The spooky season is here, friends!
Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom!
If you’re celebrating in the parks, you can attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, dig into some frighteningly-tasty treats, pose with some pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A., or grab some spoooooky merchandise. But if you’re not able to make it into Disney World for the Halloween season — don’t worry. You can grab some Halloween merchandise from home too!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
