food IS a theme park
If you’re an Annual Passholder for Disney World…LISTEN UP!
Walt Disney World Annual Pass
There are quite a few special offerings available currently and coming soon for you, starting with the Annual Passholder shopping event at ESPN Wide World of Sports and the new Passholder-exclusive snacks in EPCOT. On top of that, Passholder previews start soon for Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. But before you do any of those things, we HAVE to show you the new exclusive magnet!
2023 is a BIG year for EPCOT!
EPCOT
The park just brought back the Figment character meet, but there’s more on the horizon! Later this year, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana and World Celebration will fully open. On top of that, the park will be hosting the Disney100 celebrations at Disney World. There’s a lot of excitement! But now, we’ve got one more announcement to add to that list.
It’s about that time of year when Disney starts dropping new Coco merchandise in honor of Día de los Muertos.

So we know Disneyland will soon get a TON of Coco-themed snacks in time for Día de los Muertos, but we usually expect to see some new Coco merchandise turn up around this time, too. Well, we did find a new GORGEOUS pair of Coco Ears in Disney World. Let’s take a look!
What is it about Loungefly bags that makes them so special?
We want ALL the Loungeflys
Okay, so we are OBSESSED with Loungefly bags, so we think we’re a little qualified to answer that question. First, Loungefly bags come in all kinds of styles and let us represent our favorite rides, characters, and movies. But they also just look SO GOOD, and a new one we just found in Disney World literally tapped into our imaginations to come to life.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is HERE, and that means there are TONS of delicious eats throughout the park. But it ALSO means lots of new merchandise!
Let’s go shopping!
It’s not a real Disney event unless there’s a new merch collection themed specifically for the occasion, and in the case of the Food & Wine Festival, there are four (!!) new collections! Come with us to check out all of the festival-themed souvenirs that you can find in EPCOT right now.
Disney doesn’t hand out many freebies these days, so when we learned about the new Figment magnet coming to EPCOT, we had a feeling it would be a hot seller. (Can a free item be a hot seller? The jury’s still out, but you know what we mean.) After all, we’ve seen Figment merchandise FLY off the shelves in the past (everyone remember the Figment popcorn bucket drama?).
Who could forget this little guy?
Now, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that there’s a NEW Figment item available in Disney World (and it’s FREE), but the bad news is that only select Disney guests are eligible to pick it up. Do you qualify? Let’s talk about it!
Get ready to celebrate the release of an upcoming new Pixar movie in STYLE!

The new Disney/Pixar movie Elemental is set to debut on June 16th. And if you’re already excited about repping the brand-new characters from the film, we’ve got good news — we spotted some new Elemental merch in the parks today, including a unique pair of ears!
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with its share of perks.

OK OK OK don’t come at me I KNOW a lot of you are huge fans of Chuuby from Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland. In our WhatsApp thread for DFB there is HUGE LOVE for Chuuby, so heads up if you are a part of the Chuuby fan club!
Chuuby!
He’s already got two pairs of ears that you probably have in your collection (these ones, and these ones), but a new pair of CHUUBY-CENTRIC ears have just dropped in EPCOT!
(OK he IS kind of cute, but maybe I’m still a little bit salty about Great Movie Ride.)
These new finds are the see-through ones that we’ve already seen online and in Disneyland, but it’s a first for us to see them in EPCOT.
We go to Disney World every day, so we know when something is a bit…different.
EPCOT
No two days are alike, and there’s almost always something new to see. On a recent trip to EPCOT, we noticed that something had changed at one of our favorite stores!
