There’s been a lot of buzz around Mattel lately, and how they’re looking to bring their products to their fans in new ways! Now we have word of a new park they are planning to build near Disney World: a new WATER park.
We have a tendency to do some serious investigating when McDonald’s drops a teaser about an upcoming product release. Between the new Happy Meal toys, the iconic debut of WcDonald’s, and even the release of adult Happy Meals, we’ve seen all kinds of interesting things happening at McDonald’s lately.

But now McDonald’s is up to its tricks once more, teasing us with another BIG release, and we think we’ve caught a hint about what may be coming.
WAY before the Barbie movie, Barbie dolls and accessories were some of the most POPULAR toys on the market.

Of course, the movie helped boost sales for Barbie even more, and earlier this year, the most searched toy in Google history was Barbie. Barbie is literally everywhere, and the company that makes the dolls, Mattel, is capitalizing on that trend. Last year, Mattel announced a new theme park coming to Arizona that would feature Barbie and other Mattel properties. Well, Mattel just announced a SECOND theme park, and all we can say is, “C’mon Barbie, let’s go party!”
Barbie came out on July 21st, and since then, it’s safe to say that our love for the iconic brand and many others from our childhood has been revamped.

Like, can we just move into our own Dreamhouse in our own little Dreamworld? That sounds fun. If you’re in agreement and have spent the past weekend wishing you could be Barbie for a day, that wish might be a real possibility at an all-new theme park coming to Arizona.
While we’re waiting for the premiere of the Haunted Mansion movie, we might just be a wee bit obsessed with a few other movies releasing this month.

Yes, we’re embracing all things PINK for the premiere of Barbie, but believe it or not — Barbie does have some history in Disney World. There was once a Barbie show at EPCOT, after all. Now, Barbie has RETURNED to Disney World…but this time, she’s the star of a SNACK!
It’s gearing up to be a PINK summer.

Why is that? Barbie, the movie, will be debuting in theaters on July 21st. This new film, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie, has already started gaining steam. Soon, fans will be able to show off their love of this iconic character in a fun new way, and we are already apologizing to our wallets. [Read more…]

And, although we love getting eats and souvenirs from the Disney parks, no one combines the two like McDonald’s does. We’ve seen some pretty stellar collabs from McDonald’s and Disney lately, and we even reviewed the NEW Adult Happy Meal that was recently released. But, not all Happy Meal toys are created equally, and this got us thinking about which stood out among the rest. So, let’s check out the ten BEST McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys ever!
Don’t get us wrong — we LOVE Disney World. We’re there every day, and we still get a little teary-eyed when we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and see Cinderella Castle. Disney World IS our happy place!
Welcome to our happy place!
But at the same time, there have been some things that Disney World has done that left us scratching our heads and asking, “What gives, Disney?” We’ve seen some pretty ridiculous things happen at the parks over the years, and some were so outrageous that we’ve totally forgotten about them!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
