food IS a theme park
LET’S A-GO!
Mario and Luigi!
Universal and Illumination just dropped huge news about the Super Mario Bros. sequel. We just got the official title and release date of the new movie, and all we have to say about it is “YAHOO!”
You know, it’s a shame that it took THIS long to finally get a Moana-themed restaurant in a Disney Park.

So we were super excited when Hong Kong Disneyland announced that it was opening a Moana-themed restaurant called Wayfinders’ Table on September 12th (yes, that’s NOW). Well, ever since this restaurant was announced, we’ve been (impatiently) waiting for Disney to reveal the menu, and y’all, OUR TIME HAS COME. Yes, we finally have the full menu for Wayfinders’ Table!
We told you this day was coming, and now it’s finally here!
7-Eleven
For the past several years, 7-Eleven has hosted a promotion where customers can bring in practically anything they’d like to act as a cup for Slurpees, and no matter the shape or size, it’s just $1.99. Tomorrow, September 13th, is that day, and you KNOW we had to go check it out!
This Amazon find for our Disney World trips might be our biggest FAIL yet!
Epic fail for us at Disney World
We’re used to scouring even the furthest depths of Amazon for the latest deals we can rummage up to make our next Disney World visit even more seamless and enjoyable. So when we spotted this everyday essential, we were hopeful they’d be life-changing. But we’re still left scratching our heads about where this all went so WRONG!
Pixar fans, you may be booking a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland soon! As soon as you see the concept art for this new Disney show, you’ll understand why a trip is undoubtedly on your horizon.
Disney Friends Live at the Castle at Hong Kong Disneyland
Yes, there’s a new Moana restaurant and Villains are taking over Main Street later this month at Hong Kong Disneyland, but Disney just revealed NEW concept art for an upcoming Pixar theatrical experience that we think fans will love!
Believe it or not, Toy Story is about to turn 30 years old — and if that makes you feel old, you’re not alone.
Toy Story 5
In celebration of this huge milestone and the upcoming release of Toy Story 5 (yes, five!!), AMC Theatres is releasing new Toy Story souvenirs — including a new popcorn bucket!
Heads up, Rescuers Down Under fans, there’s a new merchandise collection available now!
BoxLunch
One of the best things about the ever-growing collection of Disney Loungefy bags is the number of deep cuts. Sure, there are bags inspired by major characters like Mickey and the company’s biggest films, but there are also bags representing somewhat obscure corners of the company’s film and theme park libraries…which brings us to the NEW BoxLunch Rescuers collection.
Tomorrowland fans, you’re going to want to sit down for this one.
Astro Orbiter
At Destination D23 in Disney World, Disney dropped some major news about updates coming to Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. We’re talking ride overlays, attraction refreshes, and even some completely new technology making its way into a beloved classic. With announcements covering TRON Lightcycle / Run, Carousel of Progress, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, there’s a lot to take in. Let’s break it all down so you’re ready for what’s ahead.
On September 12th, a smoke alarm went off on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland, prompting the evacuation of several stores and a restaurant.
Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland
Sometimes things happen in Disney Parks that you can’t control. There may be emergencies from time to time, and those situations can cause evacuations and closures. We often see rides evacuated and closed, and we recently learned about an incident during the Paint The Night parade where smoke was coming from one of the parade floats. Now, a new evacuation is unfolding in Disneyland, and we have the details.
Celebrity sightings at Disneyland are as old as the park itself. Disney entertainment is for EVERYONE — rich and famous stars included!
@SarahHyland Instagram
We heard of actors, musicians, athletes, political figures, and every major name in between visiting the “Happiest Place on Earth” since it opened 70 years ago. In just my seven years of covering the resort, I’ve seen dozens of celebrities post about their visit all over social media. Recently, Modern Family star and noted Disney parks fan Sarah Hyland once again added her name to the list. Spoiler alert: her ride photos do NOT disappoint.
