food IS a theme park
It’s October, which can only mean one thing: The weather is getting colder and sweatshirt season is upon us! Okay, technically that’s two things, but you get my point… Time to buy some sweatshirts!

We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney finds, and as we were scouring Amazon, Target, and BoxLunch, we found the BEST Disney sweatshirts that we just couldn’t keep to ourselves! Let’s take a look!
There are SO many great candidates for your next Disney World park bag!

But by far one of the most popular choices you’ll see all over the parks are Loungefly backpacks! In the past several years, Loungefly has made a plethora of Disney designs with fan-favorite characters, movies, rides, and more. But one of our favorite collections? It has to be the stained glass series!
It’s FINALLY here — D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event has officially kicked off, and we’ve already got some new details and concepts about the new lands coming to Disney World!
Welcome to Piston Peak!
Specifically, we have A LOT of new concepts surrounding Piston Peak, the Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom. Disney revealed new concept art and models for one of the attractions in this land, so let’s break it down!
Disney World has already asked us to eat dinner inside a castle, board an elevator to a restaurant in space, and consume burgers while sitting in a fake convertible beneath a fake night sky. So I don’t think I’m being unreasonable when I ask Disney to let me eat breakfast with a tow truck.

Piston Peak National Park is currently under construction in Magic Kingdom, and the new Cars-themed area is shaping up to be one of the park’s most ambitious additions. Disney has shared concept art filled with towering mountains, rushing water, pine forests, geysers, and rustic buildings tucked into the landscape. It looks beautiful. It looks enormous. It also looks like it has room for the weirdest character restaurant Disney has ever attempted. A Cars character dining experience makes absolutely no logistical sense, which is exactly why Disney needs to make it happen.
There’s just a special sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a LEGO build, right? First, it’s so much fun figuring out where each brick goes and seeing it go from nothing but a pile of bricks to a full-fledged scene.

Of course, if you’re working with Disney LEGO sets, it’s even more fun. That’s why we’re always keeping an eye out for new Disney sets when they drop online. Well, guess what? We’ve got eight new sets to share with you that just popped up over at The Disney Store.
It’s time to pull your Christmas tree out of storage and hang up the ornaments. Sorry, we don’t make the rules! Once Disney World starts decorating, we start feeling envious of their massive trees and need to make our ornaments really stand out.

One way to do that is by adding a bunch of Disney ornaments so we can feel like we’re at Disney World while staying in the comfort of my own home. Check out some of our favorite onramnets you can grab online right now.
Disneyland Paris is one of the most controversial Disney parks. While it is gorgeous, some aspects of the resort have failed to live up to our expectations.
Disney Hotel Santa Fe
During our stay, we stopped by two official Disney hotels. The first was their newest retheme at Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel. The second was the resort’s Cars-themed Hotel Santa Fe! Now, we’re taking a drive over for a tour of the rooms and resort, and we’re bringing you along with us. Ka-chow!
Way back at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, Disney announced that a NEW Cars-themed area was coming to the Magic Kingdom. In the many months since, they’ve revealed that the new installation will be the national park-themed Piston Peak, and will be located within Frontierland.

The area, which will be replacing the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island, both of which closed in July 2025, will include two new rides. While we are super excited for Piston Peak to come to Magic Kingdom, we have some bad news about the rally race ride that will be part of this expansion.
