food IS a theme park
The newest installment in the Toy Story franchise, Toy Story 5, released in theaters on June 19th, and in the first weekend, the film has already begun breaking box office records!

It’s been a bit of a rough run for some Disney films in the box office recently, even for recent releases like The Mandalorian and Grogu, so some people were concerned at how this film was going to do. However, it’s now the franchise’s BEST opening weekend film!
This is a BIG week for shopping, and we know you’re probably already checking out all the big deals and discounts happening at Amazon and Walmart this week. But, we’re going to tell you now: don’t skip out on catching some deals at Target, too!
Target!
This week is also Target Circle Deal Days, which means you can get some pretty incredible deals at Target, too, if you’re a Target Circle member (and there is a free membership tier that will still score you the deals). We’ve checked out all the sales and found four Disney essentials and souvenirs you’ll want to grab ASAP.
Amazon is once again tempting us with a cart full of discounted Disney finds, and frankly, some of these are dangerously easy to justify.

A cute tumbler? Useful. A Disney coffee cup? Essential. A coloring book for when your brain has had enough emails? Preventive care. A doormat that quotes Disney transportation? That is called curating a household. Here are a bunch of cool Disney items we spotted on sale today!
Running out of places to charge your devices is one of the most annoying problems you can have on a Disney World vacation.

Between phones, MagicBands, portable chargers, smartwatches, earbuds, and tablets, it doesn’t take long to realize that a standard hotel room outlet setup isn’t always enough. That’s why there’s one item we pack on every single Disney World trip, no matter which hotel we’re staying in. If you’re looking for a simple way to make your hotel room more functional and keep all your vacation essentials powered up, this is the item we’d recommend first.
Tomorrow is one of the BIGGEST shopping events of the year as Amazon Prime Days are about to begin!
Amazon
The major shopping hub is set to offer some MEGA-DEALS, including on a litany of our favorite Disney offerings.
While we are always excited about NEW experiences coming to Disney World, that often means saying goodbye to some old favorites.

Piston Peak and Villains Land have resulted in the closure of multiple offerings (some permanent, others temporary, such as the half-closed Walt Disney World Railroad track). Most recently, we saw Big Al’s close in Frontierland, and while Disney hasn’t officially said the closure is permanent, it’s looking like it is. And now, another iconic Frontierland spot has closed to make way for Magic Kingdom changes.
Drinking Around the World at EPCOT sounds adorable in theory. You stroll through World Showcase. You sip a margarita in Mexico, maybe a beer in Germany, a wine flight in Italy, a frozen something-or-other in France, and suddenly you are very cultured, very sunburned, and very confident you can still make your Guardians of the Galaxy Lightning Lane.
EPCOT
This is where EPCOT quietly sharpens a butter knife behind its back. Drinking Around the World can be a legitimately fun Disney World tradition. It can also become expensive, exhausting, sweaty, and deeply unpleasant if you treat it like a quest from a party wizard instead of a full theme park day. So here is the warning, and we are saying it with love, hydration, and probably a pretzel in hand.
Who’s ready to get scared?

While we love all Halloween events, there’s one that stands out in our mind as being one of the best — Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights! Universal has been announcing more and more houses, and now we know one of the original houses!
You don’t have to travel all the way to a Disney Park to pick up these popcorn buckets!

Disney popcorn bucket collection is a popular hobby among the Disney fandom, even though it can wind up costing a pretty penny. Does it have to, though? Well, these Disney popcorn buckets available online at Amazon and Five Below say otherwise!
Part of the perks of staying on-property at Disney World are the fun hotel activities!

When you think of Disney World hotels, you probably picture themed rooms, amazing pools, and easy transportation to the parks—and you’re not wrong. Whether you’re staying at a Value, Moderate, or Deluxe Resort, Disney hotels are packed with little perks and hidden gems that go way beyond just being a place to rest your tired legs after a long day at the parks. From Movies Under the Stars to fun-filled pool parties and surprise character sightings, there’s always something extra to do. But what if we told you that you are missing out on extending your vacation for just $25?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
