food IS a theme park
Greetings from EPCOT!
EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is open and we’re giving you a first look at all the merchandise available in the Treasures of Xandar Gift Shop and Creations Shop in EPCOT!
Summer is quickly approaching, and we’re ready to splash into the fun!
Cozy Cone Pool
To gear up for the new season, we’ve seen some summer items hit shopDisney, like the Stitch summer collection. There are also plenty of pools to splash around in at Disney World, including the now reopened Cozy Cone Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. Well, if you’ve been looking for summer sandals for the kiddos, look no further! The latest Native x Disney collaboration has some adorable options!
One of the best ways to commemorate a trip to Disney World is by picking out a souvenir to take home with you — and there’s so much to choose from! You could go for the classic Minnie Ear headband, a spirit jersey, or even some awesome trinket dishes that take us back to the days of needing to buy ticket books to get on the rides. But, the one souvenir that can be the hardest to resist as you make your way down Main Street, U.S.A.? The balloons!
Balloons!
There’s the classic Mickey Balloons, of course, but there are also a ton of other designs like ones with Mickey and Minnie in front of the castle and even some for different seasons of the year! And, as we were making our way into Magic Kingdom, we spotted ANOTHER new balloon in the bunch!
Sure, you could celebrate all things Star Wars on May the 4th (Star Wars Day), but what happens when Star Wars Day is done?
Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios
Just because all the fun of the Mandalorian in Cargo shorts, news about Star Wars merchandise, and epic Star Wars treats comes to an end, doesn’t mean your Star Wars party has to. Want to show your Star Wars love ALL year long with useful items for your home AND get them for a discount? We’ve got you covered.
May the 4th be with you on this interstellar celebration of all things Star Wars!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re bringing you live coverage throughout Disney World and Disneyland, and so far we have been impressed by what we’ve seen. We’re eating our way through all of the exclusive treats here for May the 4th, and we’ve got an exclusive souvenir to show you, too!
Buckle up, Star Wars fans — there’s a whole lot of amazing NEW merchandise you might not be able to resist! Like the Dark Side, you might just find yourself getting pulled closer and closer to it!
Millennium Falcon
Today is Star Wars Day (May the 4th) and we’re celebrating with special deals, limited-edition merchandise, special snacks, and more! We got to attend an event from Disney that showcased some of the NEWEST Star Wars items and now we’re sharing all of the details with you.
It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly dreaming up new ideas and innovative ways to bring the latest technologies into the parks.
Cinderella Castle
Remember the days when you had to physically walk to a kiosk, scan your Disney ticket, and it would print out a PAPER FastPass? And now, with the help of Genie+, you can skip the line at the touch of a digital button. Disney introduced another piece of innovative technology — the MagicBand — several years ago, a sort of all-in-one wristband that serves as a hotel room key, park “ticket,” can be used to pay for purchases around the parks, and can connect PhotoPass pictures to your My Disney Experience account. Disney had previously announced that an all-new reimagined MagicBand would be rolling out in the parks, and now that it is live in Disney World, we’re sharing everything we know about the upgraded tech!
There’s a LOT going on in Disney World right now. The 50th Anniversary is still happening, and you can find treats and celebrations throughout the parks. EPCOT is going through a massive transformation with new restaurants, rides, and attractions all coming to the park. And part of that huge transformation is the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! This coaster is officially opening to guests on May 27th, 2022. But that’s not the only exciting thing happening on that day!
Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom instead of EPCOT on May 27th, you can celebrate a totally different major event. [Read more…]
The Main Street Electrical Parade returned to Disneyland a little over two weeks ago, and we are so excited it’s back! In celebration of its return, Disney released a Main Street Electrical Parade merchandise collection, complete with a Minnie ear headband and Loungefly backpack!
Main Street Electrical Parade
In addition to a merchandise collection, there’s a Main Street Electrical Parade dining package at the Plaza Inn, plus an Elliott Dragon popcorn bucket, a Light-Up Turtle cup, and a Main Street Electrical Parade Lightbulb cup!
Even if you’re not in Disney World today, there are plenty of ways to bring some Star Wars into your day in celebration of May the Fourth. You might make your own Fuzzy Tauntaun from Oga’s Cantina or check out the new trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi, which streams on Disney+ later this month. Or you could head online to shopDisney to shop for some of the NEW Star Wars merchandise released for this occasion!
Let’s go shopping!
If you do plan to check out shopDisney today, you may want to head there sooner rather than later. Because when we tried to visit the site this morning, we were met with a BIG surprise! [Read more…]
