Stop what you’re doing…Disney just released a NEW MagicBand+ online!
Lady and the Tramp
If you love the Disney animated classic Lady and the Tramp as much as we do, you’re going to want to add this MagicBand+ to your collection!
MagicBands are great…but they could be better.
MagicBand+
MagicBand+ is an interactive accessory that makes visiting Disneyland, Disney World, and the Disney Cruise Line a little easier and more exciting. These bands let you link admission, access your hotel room, make purchases, check in for Lightning Lanes and virtual queues, connect to your PhotoPass photos, and become part of the Disney experience as they light up, vibrate, and enhance the world around you. Still, there could be a few features that would surely enhance this accessory.
The biggest problem we have with LEGO is that it’s addictive. Once you’ve put together your first LEGO set, well, it’s over because you’re probably going to be buying LEGO for the rest of your life.

Change is certainly no stranger to Disney fans, and another change is coming to Downtown Disney in Anaheim — but it’s not a totally welcome one.
Earl of Sandwich Tavern
We’ve already seen some restaurants close for good, while others have opened in their place. Yet another restaurant is permanently closing at Downtown Disney soon, and it happens to be one of our favorite, underrated, quick spots to grab a bite to eat — Earl of Sandwich Tavern.
Let’s talk about something nobody really warns you about when you’re heading to Disney World: the charging situation in your hotel room.
Bed area
You’d think a place as magical as Disney would have figured out how to give everyone enough outlets, but the reality is that it can be chaos. You’re trying to plug in your phone, your Apple Watch, your AirPods, your partner’s stuff, your MagicBand+, and maybe your kid’s tablet too — and suddenly, it’s an outlet war. There’s one simple solution that’ll change your hotel room game completely. Trust us — this is the one item you’ll wish you’d packed if you didn’t.
Few companies have CEOs who draw as much attention (and criticism) as The Walt Disney Company’s Bob Iger. Iger has been a top Disney executive for decades, assuming the role of CEO in 2005. Iger rose to popularity with wins like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land, left his position as CEO, handed the reins over to Bob Chapek, and returned (ousting Chapek) in 2022 with a new goal to find a worthy successor before retiring in 2026.

These days, though, there are four main candidates who seem to have the best shot at taking over the company, and many are betting big on the current Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

Two NEW shows recently premiered at Hollywood Studios, and they’re already changing our game plan for Disney World’s third theme park!
Hollywood Studios
On May 27th, both The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure AND Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After premiered at the park. The former, an update of the classic Voyage of the Little Mermaid show, uses “lively puppets, props, digital puppetry and jaw-dropping effects” to tell an abridged version of the film’s story, including performances of “Kiss the Girl”, “Daughters of Triton.” “Part of Your World”, “Under the Sea”, and “Poor Unfortunate Souls”. The latter is a “spellbinding show with moving music and a most memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated most unfairly.”
