food IS a theme park
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Welcome to the Twilight Zone…
We spent a day at Hollywood Studios, living the best Hollywood life, getting our Star Wars on, and hitting up all the shops to see if we could spot anything new. So get ready for some updates!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve marveled at all the artistic creations and fun merchandise at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Now that it’s winding down for the year, it appears Disney has saved the best for last!

A true work of art, the Designer Mickey Ear Hat is a glorious homage to Disney’s number one celeb!
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts may be winding down…

…but there’s still plenty to enjoy over the next few days before it ends! And one of the things we love is watching Visual Art in Performance, where Disney artists take to the stage and create art right in front of our eyes!
We’ve seen Sorcerer Mickey in cupcake form, on tiki mugs, and of course as those ICONIC Sorcerer Mickey Ears! But the latest Sorcerer Mickey iteration may be the most epic yet!

Sorcerer Mickey has officially taken the shape of a larger-than-life LEGO Statue in Disney Springs!
Believe us, we get it. Disney merchandise can be pretty irresistible!
Hey there Disney fans!
We know the feeling of walking into the parks and finding that perfect shirt or the bag that you just HAVE to get. Disney does marketing really well and we’re big suckers for it! And today, we’re rounding up all the best Disney products that landed online this week, and we just DARE you to make it through this list and not find something that you want. (It’s basically impossible!)
It’s hard to imagine two things that go together more than Disney and Mickey Mouse.
Mickey Mouse
The Mouse and the Walt Disney Company have been intertwined ever since Mickey first debuted in 1928. Now, almost a full century later, the company’s copyright ownership of Mickey has come to an end…at least partially. Wait…so Disney doesn’t own Mickey anymore? HUH? What does that even mean!? We’re breaking it down.
Walt Disney’s story and the history of his theme parks add to the magic that we experience when we visit.
Cinderella Castle
Walt Disney himself once said, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” This sentiment has been applied to the parks across the world — Disney is always growing and changing. We’ve come a long way to get to the Disney we know and love, but can you imagine if there was a Disney World with no Mickey Mouse? Or you took your yearly Disney trip to Missouri instead of Florida? Disney would’ve been VERY different if these things happened.
There are lots of places to shop in Disney Springs, and one of the most unique spots is Uniqlo!
Mickey Motifs Collection
This Japanese store features some pretty awesome merchandise, including cool Disney collections. In the past, we’ve seen an abstract Alice in Wonderland collection, some pop art Mickey shirts, and even a way to make your own custom shirts! Recently, we spotted a BRAND NEW Disney collection at Uniqlo. Ever wonder what Mickey Mouse dreams about? You’re about to find out!
Following the big Super Bowl win, Tampa Bay Buccaneer player, Rob Gronkowski announced that he’d be heading to Disney World!

And, even though Disney didn’t hold the Super Bowl Parade at the Magic Kingdom, they’ve still been celebrating! After the win, Disney lit up Cinderella Castle with the team colors and they still brought the star players to Disney World! So, what exactly does a pro football player do on their vacation?
Do you consider yourself a TRUE Mickey Mouse fan?
Cinderella Castle
Well, if you consider yourself a Mickey Mouse history buff, then you probably know that Mickey made an appearance in a few comics. It’s not all that often that we find a comic version of Mickey and his friends on souvenirs, but we’ve been spotting a few items recently around the parks! And now, you can grab a tote bag featuring Mickey in his comic book form at a discount with any purchase on shopDisney!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
