food IS a theme park
Who’s ready for some shopping?!

We’ve been seeing TONS of cute Disney essentials online, and we just couldn’t help but share them with you. Get your wallets out, this is going to be a long list!
There is nothing worse than running up to your favorite attraction and seeing that sign outside saying it’s closed for a refurbishment. That’s why we keep up on all the closures around Disney World so you can know what’s happening before you scan into the parks and run (okay, walk quickly) to the best attraction around.
Walls, walls, walls
Let’s take a look at everything closed in Disney World from November 8th to 15th.
It’s always exciting when a new bar opens in Disney World because there’s that cool thing where we get to visit it for the very first time (which is something we’ll never get to do again).
Drinks from The Perch
Now, we’ve been pretty excited about all the changes happening in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, but the biggest thing we’ve been looking forward to is visiting the birdcage-inspired bar aptly named The Perch. Well, The Perch soft opened early (it’s supposed to officially open on November 10th), and we had a chance to have a few drinks and try it out.
Okay, we don’t mean to stress you out, but it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping, not just for others, but also for yourself (because you gotta’ gift yourself sometimes, too, right?). Well, if you like shopping on Amazon and want to put that Prime account to good use, we’re going to help.
Disney Adults
We’ve put together a list of 9 items that are sure to please every Disney adult. That includes Disney souvenirs, as well as essentials for your Disney hotel room and park bag.

If you’ve been following us for a little while, you know we talk about shoes a lot. It might seem like we are obsessed with shoes, and maybe we are. But when you’re walking MILES and MILES each day in Disney World, the right shoe can make or break how you feel at the end of the day. We don’t want to see anyone limping their way through the parks.
One of our favorite shoes
That’s why we always try out shoes in the parks so we can recommend them. Now, we have one trusted sneaker brand that has been put through its paces (and I own these shoes myself). We can say with complete confidence that these can last through 10-hour — and more — days in Disney World.
It’s the little things in life that keep us coming back to Disney World every day. Yes, we love incredible new rides, rare characters popping out of nowhere, and upcoming expansions to be built, but sometimes all we need is a simple snack to keep us coming.
Cub Soda
Disney World feels like it’s turning into Zootopia with the new show, Zootopia: Better Zoogether, Zootopia 2 coming out, and new snacks appearing every day. We’re back in Animal Kingdom, trying out another drink themed to our favorite dynamic duo.
There’s just something about McDonald’s that scratches an itch most other restaurants can’t — including one’s at Disney World!
McDonald’s
Even though Disney World has so many amazing restaurants, it’s hard to resist the McDonald’s urge. The quintessential quick-service restaurant, our staff agrees that there are just some things McDonald’s does better than its competition at Disney World.
Santa is returning to a festive spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this holiday season one more time before it goes extinct!
