food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
The Tree of Life is just the best
We visit the park regularly to keep up with all the ride closures, food updates, and new merchandise so we can let you know what to expect on your next visit. So, let’s check out what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Despite what the song says, it seems like EVERYONE is talking about Bruno.

Yep, we’re talking about the song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto. You know, the one that’s been climbing the Billboard 100 Chart since the film’s Disney+ release? We hope you’re not too tired of this catchy jam because there are two NEW unofficial versions of it you NEED to hear.
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts has been making all sorts of CRAZY headlines lately! Sure, we’ve discussed all the best places to eat, what you should try, and where to get some new merchandise, but none of that news quite compared to the saga of the Figment popcorn bucket. Behold, the popcorn bucket that guests waited HOURS to purchase.
This little guy caused a LOT of trouble!
Since all that craziness, Figment is now completely sold out, and the dust has settled. Or has it?
Ironically, everyone has been talking about Bruno lately. That is, we’re talking about Disney’s most recently released animated film, Encanto, and the HUGE impact the soundtrack has made on the music charts.

It’s gotten to the extent that even our mom is texting us “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” puns, and when it’s reached our moms, you KNOW something big is happening. The entire Encanto soundtrack has been topping the Billboard Charts, and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” just achieved something BIG.
From stunning works of art to new movies and shows, Disney inspires people all the time! Some guests have such a strong connection to Disney that they get married right in the parks (or resorts), while others make memories by proposing in front of the Cinderella Castle. We probably don’t need to spell it out for you — people LOVE Disney!
Disney World can be pretty inspiring!
There are TONS of ways people show off their love for Disney, but it seems like Disney’s newest animated film could be inspiring a special wave of appreciation!
Ever run out of time to shop during your Disney World vacation? In between that dining reservation in EPCOT and your 4:30 Test Track return time, it can be hard to fit in time to look at all that Disney merchandise! Or maybe you try and AVOID the gift shops during your trip altogether — you’re already spending lots of money as is, after all! No matter what your reason may be, it’s easy to miss out on the newest Disney items.
So much merch, so little time!
That’s where shopDisney comes in handy! For all of us who can’t travel all the way to Florida just for a pair of Minnie ears, we can browse those classic Disney items from home. But the one problem with online shopping? Paying for shipping! Luckily, there’s a limited-time deal going on RIGHT NOW you should know about!
Disney’s film, Encanto has taken the world by storm.

If you and your family are looking for a new recipe to make at home together, then we found a tasty appetizer inspired by the film that you can whip up this week! We love sharing Disney recipes as often as we can, and this one is right up our alley.
We can’t get enough of the Family Madrigal!
Encanto Mural in Animal Kingdom!
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 60th animated feature film, Encanto, hit theaters this fall! The movie tells the story of Mirabel Madrigal and her magical family in their Encanto in Colombia. This story already feels like a Disney classic, and we still can’t get “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” out of our heads. Encanto hit Disney+ on Christmas Eve, but if you still want to get the theatrical experience, you’re gonna want to check out this event!
Things are HOPPIN’ in EPCOT these days!
It’s a busy time to visit EPCOT!
We’re in the middle of the International Festival of the Holidays, so there are special food booths, new merchandise, holiday storytellers, and unique decorations! On top of that, the ever-popular Candlelight Processional is back with nightly shows. But that’s not all that’s going on in EPCOT — let’s take a look at everything that’s new!
Disney has been doing a lot of promoting its newest film, Encanto!
Encanto posters
We’ve seen some awesome new merchandise online and in the parks, like beautiful blue Minnie ears, a toucan plush, and a lego set, there are new toys at McDonald’s from the movie, and attendees of Destination D23 even got access to an advanced screening. And now, there is a very special perk if you go see Encanto at a famous theater in California!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
