We spent a rainy Sunday in Magic Kingdom yesterday and we’re definitely not complaining!

We like to take regular spins around Disney World’s premier park to make sure we’re up to date on allllll the latest news. We’re bringing you updates on everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise!
In 2020, we were ALL about Minnie Mouse and Disney Parks attractions with the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collections that were released throughout the year.

But, 2020 is over, and we’re moving on to a brand NEW collection — Stitch Crashes Disney! In this series, Stitch will be “crashing” classic Disney animated films and some new merchandise (including plushes and pins!) will be released every month as a result of his mischievous adventures. What movies will he crash and what cool merchandise will we get to collect? We’re sharing that with you here!
We’ve got big merch news!

We’ve had to say goodbye to the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction merchandise collection but 2021 is bringing us a monthly merchandise series too! We heard the Stitch Crashes Disney collection was coming recently and now we know a lot more!
If you’re heading to Walt Disney World, you’re bound to want to capture your memories with LOTS of photos (in front of, say, the recently refurbished Cinderella Castle, for instance)!
Cinderella Castle
The Disney PhotoPass Service gives you an extra hand (literally) in doing exactly that, with designated photographers available around Disney World to take pictures of your whole group at iconic locations (and even add a little extra pixie dust to your pics with Magic Shots). Memory Maker is a product that allows guests to download unlimited Disney PhotoPass photos and videos from their vacation. And Disney is offering a few limited time specials for Memory Maker, so get ready to say, “CHEESE!” [Read more…]
It’s a big day for Florida-based Disney fans!
Hollywood Studios
Last week, Disney announced that the Florida Resident Discover Disney ticket would be returning for the first several months of 2021. Now, that day has arrived and Florida Residents can grab BIG savings on their Disney visits!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Mask rules, distancing guidelines, and more have changed significantly in Disney World recently. Masks are now no longer required for fully vaccinated guests in most places, and distancing guidelines are being reduced. We’ve seen distancing markers removed in some line queues, pre-shows return to some attractions, and more changes being made. Many attractions are now loading guests in every row just as they used to prior to the pandemic-related closures. We expect that more changes will continue to take place on Disney World’s rides throughout the upcoming days and weeks as the updated mask and distancing guidelines are put in place.
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, there are a few things you need to know about like Park Pass reservations, which restaurants are open, and updates on the latest mask policies.

But, another important thing you’ll want to be aware of is how Disney is handling loading its attractions while keeping social distancing in mind. Will you be sitting with another party on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run? Are there plexiglass barriers on this ride or the other? We’re breaking it ALL down for you today.
A new year in the Disney parks means some cool new merchandise!

We’ve already spent some time checking out the 2021 merchandise in both Disney World and Disneyland, and we’ve seen LOTS of options online. Now, a much-awaited STAPLE of the new collection is available to order too!
