food IS a theme park
It’s a good thing that those tins of Christmas cookies have a weirdly long shelf life (what’s up with that, by the way?), because it turns out that a little extra holiday cheer found its way to the month of June!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
We’ve seen a flurry of holiday news lately in the Disney parks, including a look at the special treats and merchandise coming soon, but hidden within those festive announcements was ANOTHER piece of information.
On June 18th, 2023, prepare to celebrate one of the most popular foods among seafood lovers — sushi!
Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs
We’ve been celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Disney recently, but that doesn’t mean we’re done celebrating just yet! Disney’s Iron Chef Morimoto of Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs is sharing a savory, simple recipe that you can make for any occasion! [Read more…]
How are you celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary?
Disney100 Mickey Sipper
Eating purple and platinum snacks? Stocking up on souvenirs? Hugging your favorite character in his shiny anniversary getup? There are tons of ways to enjoy this special occasion throughout the parks, but did you know that you’ll soon be able to take part in the celebration from your own home in a special way?
If you’re furiously counting down the days to the holiday season, Disney has just the thing to tide you over!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
We’re on the edge of our seats waiting for an announcement about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and just got a brand new lineup of holiday snacks and popcorn buckets that are coming to the Disney parks and cruise ships, but we’ve got one MORE Disney holiday tradition to talk about! Every year the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa becomes home to an incredible, GIANT gingerbread house. We’re “treated” with all kinds of sweet desserts, but it’s so hard to wait all year long until it comes back around the next holiday season. Luckily Disney’s stepped in with a few holiday treats to give us just the right taste of the festive season while we wait! [Read more…]
We’re halfway to the holidays, and Disney already has us looking forward to the 12 Days of Christmas.
Grand Floridian Lobby at Christmastime
Disney is announcing all sorts of holiday-related news now that we are officially halfway to the winter holiday season. Disney has released limited-time treats in the parks, announced returning holiday ride overlays, and teased even more news regarding the holiday parties that take place in the parks. In the meantime, we’re thinking about the new 12Ks of Christmas….
When Disney and Pixar announce an upcoming film, we go ahead and stock up on tissues.

It’s, like, impossible to not cry during a lot of these films! From the Toy Story movies to the Bing Bong scene in Inside Out, it seems that the studio really knows how to inspire some waterworks. Even if you aren’t like us and can make it through an entire Pixar movie without shedding a tear, you might still leave the theater with a new favorite movie character. Fans are already getting excited about Pixar’s upcoming Elemental movie, and now, a teaser trailer has been released for yet another upcoming film!
It’s only June, but Disney has a way of making us feel holly and jolly even before summer officially begins.
Magic Kingdom during the holidays
Yep, Disney is celebrating ‘Halfway to the Holidays,’ which means that for a limited time, you can grab some treats in the Disney Parks that are filled with yuletide cheer. We’re also expecting Disney to make a few holiday-related announcements this week — especially regarding holiday parties in the parks. Today, Disney shared that a fan-favorite holiday overlay would return to Disneyland, and we have a feeling that a lot of you Disney fans will be very excited! Let’s talk about it!
Get ready — something is CHANGING at an iconic Disney World hotel!
Grand Floridian Resort
The Grand Floridian is a Deluxe Resort near Magic Kingdom. It is on the Magic Kingdom Resort Monorail loop that connects it to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Magic Kingdom, and the Transportation and Ticket Center. The resort has undergone a LOT of changes in recent years with the opening of new Disney Vacation Club villas, an updated Narcoossee’s restaurant, and changes at Citricos and Victoria & Albert’s too. And now more changes are taking place.
We’ve seen all sorts of 100th Anniversary merchandise pop up in the Disney Parks and online.
Disney100
At this point, we’re starting to wonder if the merchandise designers are simply running out of ideas for things they can put the Disney100 logo on. (We’re joking. Sort of.) A new Disney100 souvenir has popped up both at Disney World and online, and by golly, we’re just not sure how to feel about it.
Get those tissues ready, Disney is hoping to make you CRY today.

Okay, well, maybe that’s not their exact goal, but they might just have you feeling sentimental with this update. Disney and Pixar’s newest film — Elemental — will be hitting theaters on June 16th. But it won’t be premiering alone. When the new film hits movies everywhere, it’ll also feature a Pixar short in front of it, and let’s just say it’ll have you reaching for a few hundred colorful balloons.
