food IS a theme park
The Wave…of American Flavors has closed at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and a NEW restaurant — Steakhouse 71 — is set to take its place in time for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.
Construction at the Contemporary
We hadn’t heard too much about this new spot…until now! Today, Disney shared the official opening DATE for this new spot and a look at all of the tasty treats you’ll be able to get there. So, without any further ado, let’s dive in!
Have you always dreamt of living out your wildest, most imaginative Disney princess dreams and maybe even staying in a castle or two?
Princesses in Disney World
Well, you might not be able to stay in a real castle, but we’ve got an enchanting option that you might absolutely love.
We love eating and drinking at Disney World (obviously), but not everything they do is a win.
Purple Poison Apple Stein
There’s been plenty of food fails over the years, like the infamous Pumpkin Pretzel, or the Space Sandwich that looked a lot like mold. Today we tried a drink that’s been around for a while (and by a while, we mean it’s a Halloween drink that has stuck around for a year), though the current version is a little…sad. Let’s get into what Disney has changed (ahem…taken away) from the current version of this cocktail.
We keep an eye on what’s new in each of the Disney World parks so that you know what to expect on your upcoming vacation!
Tree of Life With a Friend
We’ve taken a look at all the new updates in EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Magic Kingdom recently, so now we’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Let’s check out any updates on the food, construction, merchandise, and crowds in Disney’s wildest park.
Have you ever wished you could have your very own Wall-E robot, like from Disney and Pixar’s 2008 film, WALL-E?
@Pixar
We once asked our readers which Pixar movie reigns supreme and WALL-E was voted as one of the top Pixar movies, so we know Wall-E has a lot of fans. We’ve seen adorable Wall-E merchandise like this Wall-E and Eve Loungefly Backpack, and now there’s a new Wall-E collectible figure online! Here’s your chance to finally have your very own Wall-E in your home.
It’s hard to believe A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh was first published 95 years ago! That’s a lot of honey!

And while Disney fans are no strangers to limited edition plushes or to seeing the Hundred Acre Wood gang in plush form, shopDisney is celebrating this most wonderful thing with both!
Disney recently announced a new project meant to inspire imagination and create learning opportunities with students.

The Imagination Campus will be opening in both Florida and California in January 2022, with workshops for the Arts and Humanities, Science and Technology, and Leadership and Innovation. Disney World is planning to invite some special guests to stay for a Disney vacation and check out the new campus. Here’s how you can enter to be one of those guests!
We’re used to seeing construction walls around Disney World as Cast Members update attractions and areas around the parks.
Construction Walls in EPCOT
Recently we’ve seen some walls come down in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, both around the Main Street Confectionery and from in front of the Country Bear Jamboree. Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, however, we recently saw some new walls go up around a ride that has closed forever.
Welcome foolish mortals…to your soon-to-be empty wallets once you see this new collection.
There’s always room for one more…
We’re suckers for Haunted Mansion merchandise, from this Haunted Mansion Table Projector to this Madame Leota pin, so when we heard about this new collection we knew Haunted Mansion fans would be excited. It’s time to save your pennies and mark your calendars because you won’t want to miss this! [Read more…]
Halloween season is upon us, and we are HERE for all the Disney Villains merchandise and treats we’re seeing in the parks.
Disney Villains Graffiti Collection
But we also know that sometimes the best place to get a Disney souvenir isn’t in the parks at all — we’re fans of checking prices online and looking for sales to get all our Disney gear. There’s one Disney Villains item that you can’t get in the Disney Parks because it’s only available on Amazon…but that doesn’t mean it’s cheap.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
