food IS a theme park
When you go to Disney World, things are WEIRD.
Magic Kingdom
There’s a whole language you learn when planning Disney trips (things like Lightning Lane and MagicBand+), scheduling can be shockingly detailed, and fans in the parks certainly have some interesting obsessions. So today, we’re breaking down some weird traditions you’ll probably only see in Disney World.
If you’re a candle person like we are, you know that one candle is simply never enough!
Candle
We think we’ve found the most magical series of candles yet and we’re pretty excited about them. And the best part? They’re available online!
If you’re a die-hard Disney fan, it probably shows in your house!
Cinderella Castle
Whether you’ve got a wall full of Minnie ears and Loungefly backpacks or just a few subtle framed photos from your family trip to Disney World, we’re willing to bet the fandom shines through somewhere. But today, we’re here to talk about one of the BEST ways to rep Disney World in your home — scented candles!
If you’ve been to Disney World many times before, your house is probably overflowing with souvenirs from your trip.
100th merchandise display
If you’ve already got a solid collection of Minnie ears, your drawers are stuffed with Disney t-shirts, and you don’t have any room for more Loungefly bags…what do you buy on your next trip? Well, if you’re out of souvenir ideas, or you just want something new and unique to bring home, we’ve got the perfect souvenir for you!
If you’ve been following along with Disney news for the past few years, then you know that Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park is being transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Splash Mountain is under construction at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. The updated ride will feature characters and music from The Princess and the Frog, and we’ve seen concept art and models of the attraction…but now we have even MORE details about what we can expect. Including a special surprise hidden in the queue!
Okay, we bet you have a favorite Disney scent — EVERYONE does.
We bet you can smell this photo
Maybe you love that distinctive smell of Pirates of the Caribbean or that pineapple odor of a Dole Whip. Perhaps you just love walking down Main Street, U.S.A. and smelling popcorn. Well, whatever you love, we just found a candle collection that will let you have your favorite Disney smells AT HOME.
There are some smells that instantly transport you to another time and place. We can pretty much all recognize the distinct yet familiar smell of crayons, and it doesn’t feel like summer until we get our first whiff of fresh-cut grass. In Disney World, they make scent into a SCIENCE! From attractions to parade floats, tasty (and stinky) smells follow you throughout the parks.
There’s a pretty memorable scent hanging out in Spaceship Earth!
Recently, we asked our readers for their thoughts on the most memorable Disney smell. Here’s what they said!
Close your eyes and picture yourself on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Walt Disney World. Can you see the dutiful prison pup holding the jail cell keys? Can you hear the cannons exploding around you? Can you smell that musty water smell?
Now you scurvy scum, do I hear ten? A hen for a ten!
Disney Imagineers are masters of creating fully immersive attractions and experiences that transport you to another world (or galaxy). A major part of that experience often involves your sense of smell — can you recognize any of Disney’s classic smells?
What’s going on, everyone?! We’re back with another update from our happy place — the Disneyland Resort.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Before we lose ourselves in the all of the new snacks at this year’s Food and Wine Festival tomorrow, we spotted some new merch we just had to add to our collection!
We’ve seen a lot of Disneyland merch in our time — from the TONS of Minnie Ear designs to sporks from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — but we might have just found one of the strangest pieces yet.
Mickey Balloon Ears
That’s because we’ve spotted a new pin at Disney California Adventure that’ll leave you and the rest of your collection smelling like a tropical getaway.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
