food IS a theme park
This exciting news definitely won’t burst anyone’s bubble!!
Pop Up Disney! A Mickey Celebration now open!
The incredible Pop-Up Disney! installation that we took you on a tour of back in April is a themed exhibit in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney, celebrating Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday with numerous backdrops inspired by his history. You can participate in the room photo ops for a little bit longer, friends, because the dates have been extended!! Cutest Insta pics ever, here we come!
We can’t always be in the Disney parks eating the food we love (sigh)… BUT, we can bring a little bit of the magic home to our kitchens.
Maybe you can make your own Mickey Waffles with Disney Eats!
Mickey-themed treats are some of our favorite Disney items! Now, you can have your own Mickey-themed kitchenware when you make dinner, dessert, or even just keep your meals fresh.
Welcome back to another What’s New coming at you from Disneyland Resort
where we took a loooooong stroll through both Parks, Downtown Disney, and the Grand Californian Hotel to bring you food updates, new merchandise, construction progress, and — this time! — loads of character pics, including this guy.
Oh, boy, it’s another What’s New from Disneyland Resort!
He won’t be buying everyone churros after the What’s New, but he’s still fun. 😉
As many of you may know, Epcot is undergoing a pretty HUGE transformation, and as part of that transformation, a lot of familiar locations will be getting an overhaul. And beginning September 8, the popular Character Spot will close temporarily.
Epcot Entrance
Character Spot is actually home to two character meet-and-greet areas, which are located across from one another in Epcot. [Read more…]

from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Time to visit one of our favorite character dining locations: Tusker House! Tusker House is located in Animal Kingdom’s African village of Harambe and offers a character buffet for breakfast and lunch and a “family style dinner buffet” (really just a buffet — no family style service), also with characters!
One added element of dining at Tusker House is the opportunity to reserve the Rivers of Light Dining Package here, which saves a seat at Animal Kingdom’s newly-revamped Rivers of Life: We Are One nighttime spectacular. Generally, the price differential between the character meal and the dining package is pretty small here, so you may find it’s worth the slight splurge to score that reserved seating.
We weren’t after the Dining Package this time, but we sure were excited to see if the food and experience at Tusker House lived up to its past quality. And we ended up eating TWO full meals at once, which we really didn’t expect! (Read on to find out how we did it!)
Tusker House Entrance
Tusker House is a charming restaurant located on your left-hand side in Harambe as you head toward Kilimanjaro Safaris. Check in is at a stand near the Dawa Bar, and you’ll be given a pager. Here you’re welcome to glance at the menu — but keep in mind it’s pretty generic because it’s a buffet! (Don’t worry: we’ll get more specific, and we have photos of EVERYTHING below!)
We have been on merchandise OVERLOAD lately with the release of new items like the Mickey bubble baton, the Imagination Pink collection, and the JUMBO Minnie bow.
Disneyland Backpacks
And today, we’re adding to the hefty new merch list with a few new and super fun backpack options.
Disney merchandise has been super on trend lately, with new collections like the Imagination Pink and Magic Mirror Metallic popping up just last week.
Disney-themed Headbands
There have also been a lot of new, fun options like the JUMBO Minnie Bow and the Dooney & Bourke Cat Collection. But, these new Disney-inspired headbands really have us hooked.
What’s better than skating around a roller rink like it’s 1979? How about skating with MICKEY MOUSE himself?!
Mickey & Minnie Mouse!
On June 13th, D23 members joined Mickey and Minnie at Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, California to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the “Mickey Mouse Disco” album! (“He’ll always bring down the house! Disco Mickey Mouse!”)
Disney is prepped and ready for the wet summer ahead with the release of all-new rain gear.
Rain Gear
And y’all — subpar ugly ponchos are a thing of the past, because some of this stuff is way too cute to handle.
If you’ve paid attention while out and about on Disney World property, you’ve no doubt noticed the distinctive signs in teal, yellow, red, and purple that are used on Disney property to direct traffic to parks, resorts, Disney Springs, and more. These signs are the harbingers of fun — the visitor’s first real sign they they are ON DISNEY PROPERTY.
Purple Road Signs!
And we can’t lie: when we saw this iPhone case inspired by the purple road signs, we got a little teary. Because look: [Read more…]
