Shanghai Disneyland is closed, Hong Kong Disneyland will be closed until April 20th (at least for now), vaccine requirements were relaxed in Disneyland Paris, and not too long ago, mask rules changed in Disney World too. In terms of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa (in Hawaii) we shared that some travel rules in the state would be changing in late March, and now MORE changes have been made.
Sometimes it’s fun to make your life a little more mysterious.
Princess Mystery Pin Pack
Disney makes that mystery easy with their mystery offerings for some of their merchandise like pins, Wishables, and collectible keys!
We’ve seen a lot of Flower and Garden Festival merchandise make its way onto shopDisney.
Flower and Garden Festival
This year, we’ve seen an Orange Bird spirit jersey, mugs, shirts, even plant pots! And Disney keeps dropping new items online!
Who says you need a park ticket to have fun at Disney World? Thanks to a little shopping district known as Disney Springs, we can eat, explore, and shop without stepping foot in a Disney park. Sorry, Space Mountain, we’ve got other plans today!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has some INCREDIBLE restaurants (plus some killer bakeries, too), and plenty of places to shop! Whether you’re there for the new food, entertainment, or merchandise (or maybe a little of everything!), come with us to see what’s new over in Disney Springs!
One of the toughest choices you’ll have to make early on when planning your Disney World trip is…what hotel to stay at!
Welcome to Disney World
Do you stay off property? On property? At Disney World, but at one of the non-Disney owned resorts? There are so many options! And things at these resorts keep changing. New hotels open up, or might get sold to other companies. Now, we’ve got another update about a hotel located right in the heart of Disney World.
One of the most common questions that people ask about Disney World is how they can beat the crowds and get on their favorite rides without a long wait.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
There are a couple of different options, including making use of the Lightning Lanes with Genie+ and Pay-Per-Ride. But if you’d rather not pay to skip the lines, another option is to get to the parks as early as possible. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you qualify for Early Theme Park Entry, which means you can go into the Disney World theme parks before the other guests. So what exactly is Early Entry? And how should you spend your extra time in the parks? We’re answering all your Early Entry questions here. Let’s dive in! [Read more…]
We kind of have a love-hate relationship with spring; anyone else? On one hand, the weather gets a little warmer and our spring flowers start to bloom, but on the other hand, the pollen makes our eyes itch and we have to change our clocks (seriously, why do we still have to do that?!).
Nobody does spring quite like Disney!
What else does spring bring to Disney World? New merchandise! What better way to recover from the wintertime blues than with a little springtime shopping spree? Luckily, we have the perfect new Disney collection to celebrate the occasion!
For the past several weeks, we’ve carefully followed the developments that have taken place related to Florida’s heavily criticized “Don’t Say Gay” Bill and the responses from the Disney Company.
Pride Pins
The Company issued an initial statement, CEO Bob Chapek later sent a memo on the topic, and since then we’ve seen a more formal stance from the Company, an apology from Chapek, further statements from Chapek, news about Disney walkouts related to the Bill, and more. Now, we’ve got a new development.
Okay, we talk all the time about the food you’re going to eat on vacation and the rides you’re going to check out, but there’s another important thing we also have to mention…the SHOPPING!
There’s so much shopping to be done on a Disney World trip!
It wouldn’t be a complete Disney World vacation without some truly awesome souvenirs, whether that means Minnie ears, 50th Anniversary merchandise, or any of the thousands of fun little trinkets you can find in the parks. And now, a souvenir spot that has been closed since the pandemic-related park closures has FINALLY reopened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
