Fans of the creepy classic should make their way to Amazon now to gear up on Haunted Mansion essentials to give your home that well-known pallor of foreboding.
Disney World is full of unique souvenirs that you can’t easily find online or anywhere else. A lot of these souvenirs can be found in World Showcase in EPCOT where you can get everything from Norwegian troll figures to British snacks to Chinese potato chip flavors and everything else in between.
La Gemma Elegante
We love walking through the shops in World Showcase just to see what we can find, but while we were recently perusing the goods in the Italy Pavilion, we spotted what could be one of Disney World’s most expensive souvenirs.
Bad news, Annual Passholders: Disney is set to eliminate some major perks as soon as the calendar turns to August.
Annual Pass
Disney launched the 2026 edition of the V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days event on May 1st. This “summer celebration” offers limited-time offerings and perks just for Passholders across the resort, including merchandise, spaces, and big savings on dining! However, all of that is about to disappear on July 31st!
Oh, now we’re ZOOMING!

While there isn’t an official opening date announced for this new Universal Hollywood roller coaster, the ride has soft opened, welcoming guests on, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
It might still be the middle of summer, but the Halloween season is right around the corner at Disney.
Disneyland Halloween
There is so much spooky fun to look forward to, especially over in Disneyland, and we just found out about a new Disney Visa Cardmember perk that will let you enjoy one of the spookiest offerings with a discount.
EPCOT’s World Showcase is a chance to travel around the world without ever having to leave Florida. Not only do you get to visit pavilions that represent countries from all over the world, but you also get to dine and shop as if you were visiting that country.
We’re trying something new!
One of our favorite things, though, is learning about different cultures and food from around the world, and we just recently discovered a new way to drink beverages in EPCOT that we HAVE to tell you about. So, let’s head on over to the Japan Pavilion (one of our favs) and try an Ice Box for the very first time!
The Disney parks are known for many things! Delicious snacks, amazing attractions, and classic characters are just a few that come to mind.
Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland
They’re also known for the heat and how quickly it can ruin your day if you’re unprepared. Hong Kong Disneyland is now implementing new changes to try and beat the heat this year!
Heading to this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom? Don’t come unprepared!
Magic Kingdom at night during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
The ultra-popular, separately ticketed Halloween party happens on select nights from August 7th through October 31st at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, and it’s packed with tons of fun — including trick-or-treating, live entertainment, lower ride wait times, special treats, and exclusive character meet-and-greets! While this event can be a total blast, it’s still best to prepare for some possible pitfalls ahead of time. There are some Amazon essentials you can grab RIGHT NOW that will help you have the best party experience possible!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is just around the corner, starting on August 14th and running till the 16th. It will be packed with Disney-themed panels, photo opportunities, and souvenirs, and while we are SO excited for the panels, we’re also very, very excited about all the souvenirs.

Disney has been slowly releasing collection after collection, and this next one is based on Imagineer That!, one of our favorite Disney series on YouTube and Disney+.
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re at Disney World all day, every day, almost 24/7. Partly because it’s our job, and partly because we just love it! But one thing we don’t love? The INTENSE Florida heat!
A good fan can save your trip!
We love testing products to keep us cool while we’re out and about in the parks, so we set out to test new finds for thousands of hours at Disney World. This tiny but mighty handheld fan won gold!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
