As our name suggests, we take Disney food very seriously.

Docking Bay 7 in Disneyland

Festivals and holidays bring new food and drinks into the parks, and we happily taste them all so that you know which ones are the best. But it’s not just those times of the year that bring new items into the parks. That’s right — new additions hit menus around Disneyland Resort and Disney World all the time. And, speaking of, new changes will be hitting the Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo menu at Disneyland very soon!

By Sara McOmber Leave a Comment

The next generation of MagicBands is called MagicBand+, and you can buy them NOW in Disney World. We’re trying out all the new features today, so come along to see what’s different about these MagicBands.

But because that release was accidental, most of the new features didn’t work at that time.

What’s good about them and what might not be so great? Let’s find out! [Read more…]

Either way, we headed over to the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney, and we were not disappointed by what we found!
