food IS a theme park
When it comes to Disney merch, snacks, and decor, we’ve pretty much seen it ALL. Or so we thought…

Of all the unexpected Disney products out there, be it in the parks or out in the “wild” (e.g. the Midwest), Disney BRACES are a new one for us!
When it comes to Alice in Wonderland, we are “curiouser and curiouser!”
Alice in Wonderland Topiary
That’s why we love seeing Alice greeting guests at EPCOT, and checking out merchandise featuring characters from the Alice in Wonderland books and films! We’ve seen quite a bit this year, too, including Loungefly bags, phone cases, and a gorgeous dress!
This year has been ALL about the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collections!
Jungle Cruise Minnie ears
These collections have featured some of our favorite Disney Parks attractions, including Jungle Cruise, the Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and more! The most recent collection — and the last — is the Nighttime Castle and Grand Finale collection that most recently went online via shopDisney’s MerchPass.
Sometimes there are just too many Disney merchandise options to choose from when shopping for friends and family.
Goofy Gift Card Pin Set
And since the deadline has passed for gifts to for sure arrive before Christmas Day, some people may need to improvise. Luckily, there’s a solution if you still need gifts for Disney fans!
It’s hard to believe that the longest year ever, 2020, is almost over! And we are so ready for 2021!
2021 Merchandise
We’re starting to see some 2021 merchandise turn up at the parks. We recently saw a TON of 2021 stuff at Disneyland, and now we’re starting to see 2021 merch pop up at Disney World, too!
If you’ve ever made a huge merchandise purchase at a store in a Disney theme park and then had to lug it all around the park throughout the rest of the day, you know how annoying that can be! But hey, when you gotta get that new merch, you gotta get that new merch!
Windtraders Holding Disney Merchandise — Trial
Prior to the park closures, you could have items held for you at the front of the park or sent to your Disney World hotel (so you wouldn’t have to carry them around). When the parks reopened, however, these types of package pickup and delivery were suspended. Disney’s Animal Kingdom tested a modified merchandise holding system earlier this year, but now package pickup could be returning!
It’s getting pretty chilly as we head towards winter, even here at Disney World!
Chilly day at the Magic Kingdom
And we’ve started to see the parks respond by offering up hot beverages like hot cocoa and spiced cider, and we’ve seen a lot more sweatshirts in the shops!
Hello, friends, from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ROAR!
Animal Kingdom
We took some time to make our way around this WILD park to see what’s new since the last time we were here. So here are all the latest updates!
It’s been an INCREDIBLE year for Minnie Mouse collectibles at Disney World! From Dumbo and Big Thunder Mountain to the one and only Haunted Mansion, the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction merch has been a SMASHING success!
Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Big Thunder Mountain
Now it’s time for the grand finale, and December’s collection is fittingly themed with fireworks and nighttime spectaculars!
The fun thing about collecting pins at Disney World is that there are always new and unique designs available!
Pin Traders
And there are so many cool new pins to choose from EVERY DAY — we’ve especially enjoyed a few new Mandalorian pins we’ve come across, along with some awesome 2021 pins, and festive holiday pins. But today, we spotted some new pins that were absolutely worthy of making the news!
