Hey DFB friends! It’s time for another round of what’s new at Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Over the last few days we’ve seen a new merchandise collection inspired by rats and cheese and the reappearance of a popular Halloween item. Find out all about the new things in Magic Kingdom right here!
There’s constantly something to celebrate in Disney World, and luckily for us, these celebrations oftentimes come with special food items! Last week, we were celebrating Halfway to Halloween, tomorrow we’ll be celebrating Star Wars Day, and since October 1st, 2021, for 18 months we’ll be celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!

If you didn’t know, May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, and Disney World will be celebrating with some special food offerings throughout the month with the theme “A World of Voices.”

Millennium Falcon at Hollywood Studios
Dapper Day, the disappearance (and reappearance) of Dok-Ondar icons, and low crowds were only some of the things we saw. And we hope you’re ready to shop, as new merchandise was everywhere!
There are a number of special rules that apply to Disney World, but some of those could be CHANGING.
Mickey’s Ready to Fly!
We’ve shared a lot about the dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District and what that could mean for the future. But there’s another change that one U.S. congressional representative wants others to consider.
April was a big month in Disney World! Expedition Everest finally reopened after a months-long closure, Salt & Straw in Disney Springs opened its doors, and traditional character meet-and-greets returned to the Disney parks for the first time in years!
Daisy!
We learned a lot in Disney World in April, so we’ve narrowed it down to 10 things you should take away from a month of Disney World news.
Disney’s name has seldom escaped the news recently.
Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey’s!
From the situation with Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (which critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) to the dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, comments made about Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” employee training, and changes in Disney’s communications leadership — there’s been a lot going on. Now, it seems Disney has become the subject of something else and the focus of one particular U.S. Senator.
There are a lot of fun Disney souvenirs that you can collect! From the iconic Minnie Ears headbands and pins to Loungefly backpacks, there’s something for almost anyone!
There’s a souvenir for almost anyone!
If you’re a habitual coffee drinker, one of the most practical souvenirs might be a coffee mug. If you’re not able to make it to the Disney parks, don’t worry, we’ve recently spotted a few new Disney coffee mugs online!
We’re getting into the summer months now, which means Disney World is HOT. Heavy crowds, high humidity, and scorching sunlight can make a day in the parks a little bit of a nightmare if you’re not prepared. If you’re looking for a refreshing break from the heat and a chance to cool off, we might have just found the PERFECT drink for you. But you’ll need to watch out, because it’s actually a little bit DANGEROUS.
This park is SO pretty!
Let’s head into Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where you can find a NEW cocktail that’s celebrating a very special holiday!
