food IS a theme park
Hello, everyone, from EPCOT!
Epcot Imagination Pavilion
We took a walk around the World Showcase and the rest of the park to see what’s going on, so here’s what’s new!
Disneyland Resort is still mostly closed, but Downtown Disney is open for business, and soon, California Adventure’s Buena Vista Street will open with limited shopping and dining.
Downtown Disney
We’ve been keeping track of everything new going on at Disneyland — especially with shopping — and we just found TONS of new holiday and Marvel face masks there!
We’ve been enjoying the beginning of the holiday season at Disney World with all the amazing decorations, merchandise, food, and drinks!

And Disney has been releasing a lot of amazing holiday stuff through shopDisney, too, including some brand new Chanukkah merch!
Disney World has A LOT of unique snacks.
Poor Unfortunate Souls
Sometimes they miss the mark with presentation, sometimes the flavor choices are a little bit off-the-wall. Today, we found a snack that’s interesting because it doesn’t look like a snack at all — it looks like something you’d see on display in a curio cabinet!
Last week, the holiday season OFFICIALLY arrived in Walt Disney World, bringing over-the-top decorations, delicious specialty treats, and lots of new merchandise.

One of our favorite things this year, though, has got to be the Christmas cavalcades! Seeing Mickey, Goofy, the toy soldiers, and even Santa Claus decked out in their festive best made our hearts grow three sizes! (Christmas tends to have that effect on people, just ask the Grinch.) But we all know that it rains A LOT in Florida, which calls for rainy day holiday cavalcades!!
The Disney Park experience is becoming more and more reliant on using our mobile phones. With the My Disney Experience app, we can book dining, place food orders, check wait times, get Rise boarding passes, and so much more — all with only our handheld device!

Since we have to use our phones so much at Walt Disney World, it’s only fitting that we accessorize them to match our Disney obsession. With these two new Pop Sockets we spotted, you can do just that — and they’re a great way to rep some of our favorite characters!
Want to celebrate Mickey & Minnie on their birthday? Or learn about how EPCOT is transforming and hear about the making of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure? What about checking out some rarely heard stories and facts about Toy Story?

You can do all that and MORE through D23’s special Fantastic Worlds Celebration which features a whole week of events you can participate in from the comfort of your own home!
We’ve seen SO MANY new holiday bags popping up all over Disney World!
Loungefly Peppermint mini backpack
Bags, purses, and backpacks are a hugely popular souvenir and accessory, because everyone needs a place to store their park essentials! This holiday season, Disney has definitely been capitalizing on that — we’ve seen name brand collections, backpacks, and tote bags so far. Now, there’s a new Dooney & Bourke holiday collection available both in the parks and online!
We have seriously been enjoying the beginning of the holiday season at Disney World. There is really only one word we can use to describe it…MAGICAL.
Holiday Mickey and Minnie Cavalcade
And sure, that’s a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to Disney World, but after you see the photos and videos we took today, we think you’ll agree that it’s the truth!
We are definitely making our lists, and checking them twice with all the new holiday merchandise Disney has been churning out this week! From ornaments to spirit jerseys, we’ve seen it all!
The Emporium decorated for Christmas
We’re really thrilled to see another holiday item that we can add to our beloved collection of Funko Pops!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
