food IS a theme park
Keeping our Disney fashion style up to date is a full-time job, but hey, we’ll manage somehow. 😉
When new merch calls, we will answer! ©Loungefly
We’re hardly done with our fins and dinglehoppers for International Mermaid Day when our merch senses start tingling once again. Sure enough, we found new additions to the Oh My Disney Collection that you can grab right now!
Greetings from the Hundred Acre Woods, friends!
Winnie the Pooh Topiaries
And no, we don’t mean the United Kingdom pavilion in Epcot — though how cute are the Winnie the Pooh and Rabbit Flower and Garden topiaries!? (Psst – you can go on a Virtual Tour of the Flower and Garden Festival with us here!)
What we DO mean is the Crystal Palace! If you’re unfamiliar, the Crystal Palace is a character dining restaurant in Magic Kingdom where you can dine with Winnie the Pooh and his friends during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s a classic character dining experience, and one that Winnie the Pooh fans will love! But is the high price of the meal ($55/ adult at lunch or dinner) worth it? Read on to find out — plus what you can expect on the buffet!

Hey, guys, what’s new with you? Oh, us, we’re just taking a walk over to the Disneyland Resort to check out what’s been going on in their neck of the woods.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’ve got some exciting stuff to share with you today, so let’s just dive on in!
We found another new Park Pal that you can take with you on your adventures through Walt Disney World.
The Boardwalk
These lovable little representations of our favorite Disney characters have been popping up everywhere since last year, including this NEW Cheshire Cat addition, we spotted yesterday over at the Art of Animation Resort. Now we’ve found ANOTHER new option based on our favorite silly old bear.
Sometimes you just want to snack on some honey with Pooh, Tigger, and the rest of your friends in Disney World.
Pooh Bear!
Buuut, you don’t have to travel to the Hundred Acre Wood to spend some time with the gang! Now, you can take them back with you to your own (tree) house!
Pooh Bear has OFFICIALLY returned to his home in the UK Pavilion.
Pooh Bear!
That’s right, my friends, you can once again meet Pooh Bear in Christopher Robin’s bedroom in the UK Pavilion!
Go deep into the Hundred Acre Woods with Disney’s newest Wishables collection!

Disney has released a new set of Wishables on the first Wednesday of each month. We have seen all different kinds from Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and even popular Disney Parks treats!
And while those have all been pretty cute…this new set takes the honey!!
In the pantheon of character meals at Walt Disney World, there’s only one where you can dine with big, fluffy friends straight out of the Hundred Acre Wood — and in a classic Magic Kingdom location: Crystal Palace!
Truth be told, we’ve had a bit of a roller coaster relationship with Crystal Palace over the years. Some visits have been good (like this lunch four years ago and like breakfast here back when you could get into the nearly-empty park!), and one was particularly awful (dinner at the end of the night = icky buffet remnants…I didn’t even do a post about it).
But the opportunity to dine with Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger is pretty much a Disney World rite of passage and something that every Disney fan should do at least once. And dining in the Crystal Palace — a gorgeous building that’s been a mainstay since Magic Kingdom opened in 1971 — is a lovely experience.
But what about the food — arguably the most important aspect of any restaurant? It’s standard, but acceptable on most visits, with breakfast having, perhaps, the most interesting options with Pooh’s Breakfast Lasagna and Puffed French Toast being crowd favorites. And so I returned recently, for lunch this time, to see how things are going.
Welcome to Crystal Palace!
The theme at Disney Springs right now is Beat the Heat. In the dog days of summer we certainly agree!
We scoured Disney World’s shopping and dining district and found what’s new so you know where to stop the next time you’re at Disney Springs for a cool drink, snack, meal, or air conditioned retail therapy!
Beating the Heat in Disney Springs
Much to the dismay of kids and the delight of parents everywhere it’s Back to School season! We’ve found a lot of cool Disney stuff that should make going back to school a little easier for the kids this year!
