food IS a theme park
From Halloween balloons to Halloween merch, we’ve been enjoying ALL the spooky season offerings at Disney World!
Halloween Balloons
We’ve also been on a quest to find delicious Halloween snacks around Disney World, and today we spotted one particularly spooky treat we just HAD to try!
Earlier this year, the Walt Disney World theme parks and many of the Resort hotels reopened, but not without a few changes.

Aside from the mask requirement and limited capacity, one of the biggest changes at the theme parks has been the temporary suspension of FastPass+.
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!
Mickey and Minnie Ornaments
Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
Although several hotels are still closed at Walt Disney World, many have reopened and are now welcoming guests.

Slowly, more options, like room service and even Table Service Mobile Order, are being offered at Disney Resort hotels, and now guests can book additional types of rooms at some Disney resorts.
RED ALERT! Yesterday, we shared that another booth would be opening at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! So, of course we made our way to EPCOT to check it out.

But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected!
Not too long ago, we were working on our McDonald’s Happy Meal Pixar keychain collection.
Coco and Joe Gardner
Now, McDonald’s is back at it again with some Marvel Studios Superhero toys, and we thought “Wow! Marvel toys! Hooray!” but the one we got yesterday was…terrifying (at least to us)!
This year has definitely been a unique one for movies due to the global pandemic.

Disney’s Mulan was initially released on Disney+ for an additional fee, and Marvel’s Black Widow has been continuously delayed and actually won’t be released until 2021. Today, we heard some more news about another Disney film that was set to be released later this year in theaters.
We’ve seen LOTS of Mickey plushes around Disney World and online, but some of the cutest and most unique ones have been the Limited-Edition Year of the Mouse plushes.

This year, Disney has been releasing a NEW Mickey Mouse plush design on Amazon every month as part of the Year of the Mouse, and D23 Members have been able to get early access to these cuties!
Splash Mountain is set to get a Princess and the Frog re-theming at some point in the future, but for the moment the attraction is still running in Magic Kingdom in its current form.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen extremely long lines for Splash Mountain merchandise in the past, but today the line for Splash Mountain itself was so long it had us saying “my oh my, what a CRAZY day!”
Earlier this year, Annual Passholders were given the opportunity to extend or cancel their passes.
Tinker Bell Magnet
If you are an Annual Passholder on a monthly payment plan, you may have already received or may soon be receiving some important information from Disney regarding extensions to your pass.
