food IS a theme park
Today’s was a big day in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs! The re-imagined World of Disney reopened with a radically different look and some mixed reactions from Disney fans. And tucked into the check-out areas throughout the store are the reusable shopping bags!

Happy Halloween from the Disney Parks
, where jack-o-lanterns and Halloween-themed treats are popping up everywhere! And believe it or not, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has already begun!
It’s Halloween in Magic Kingdom!
Halloween goodies tend to be some of the most coveted holiday finds, like the Oogie Boogie Sipper which will be available at the new Oogie Boogie Bash — A Disney Halloween Party this year!

New Orleans Square
is one of our favorite areas of Disneyland Resort — and not just because it’s the home of Cafe Orleans, where we happily nosh on three of our top Disney Parks eats: the Monte Cristo sandwich, Pommes Frites with amazing Spicy Cajun Remoulade, and Mickey-Shaped beignets (which we can finally enjoy at Walt Disney World, too!).

New Orleans Square also happens to be the location of two of the park’s most iconic rides: Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. And it’s these must-do attractions that have been immortalized as only Starbucks can: on a You Are Here Mug!
By now it’s clear that Pixar Fest has truly taken over eateries all over Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure. And if you’re looking for a classic Disneyland caramel apple (with a Pixar twist!), you’ll want to head to Candy Palace where Toy Story is representing!

Since Pixar Fest began at Disneyland Resort last week, we’ve been bringing you tons of eats (and a few drinks) from this super fun festival. We’ve shown you how to color-change noodles, dug into a double-berry funnel cake, and shared our favorite Cocoa Churro.

But there’s more to Pixar Fest than themed grub — like themed souvenirs! And one of our favorites is Woody’s Boot — complete with ANDY written on the bottom!
Last year we geeked out when the Disney Parks started selling Dole Whip and Mickey Premium Bar Plush
— and now there are even more squishy Disney food friends to snuggle!

Unless you live under a rock somewhere, you know that the latest iteration of the Star Wars franchise — The Last Jedi — opens today, and you know the Disney Parks are leaping into the merchandise battle with amazing Star Wars souvenirs. (And we aren’t complaining!)
Our pal Carlye Wisel (find her at CarlyeWisel.com!) hooked us up with some pics of a Captain Phasma Stein that You. Must. Acquire.
It comes with your choice of grapes or pineapple — but while we appreciate some healthy eats from time to time, that’s not really why you’re buying it.

If you’re preparing to set sail on the Disney Fantasy, you need to know that a brand new sweet shop recently opened on board Disney Cruise Line’s youngest ship!

Y’all! Free Pastry Alert! Free Pastry Alert! (Note to self: make “Free Pastry Alert” a thing.)
If you’re a fan of Amorette’s Patisserie (or been jonesing to give it a try!), this is a fun way to get not only a great souvenir but also a spectacular pastry! We’re not sure how long this will be in effect, but at present, you can get a free Amorette’s pastry(!) with the purchase of a caricature!

If the only thing better than a sundae is a sundae in a cool vessel (think: Kitchen Sink, Mickey’s Pants), then the only thing better than a sundae in a cool vessel is a sundae in a cool vessel on a Disney Cruise!
The Disney Dream, which went into ‘dry dock’ for some upgrades and alterations in 2015, is the (floating) place to go for Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats. And we don’t know about you, but anywhere with the words “sweets” and “treats” in the name is basically our favorite place.
