food IS a theme park
Even if you can’t get to Disney Parks right now, Disney’s El Capitan Theatre in Southern California is doing its best to bring Disney to you!
Coco Pins
Not only did locals get a chance to grab Mickey pretzels and plastic cheese (!!!) to-go from the theater, but you can also order Disney Parks-exclusive merchandise, such as popcorn buckets, to ship to your house!
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and love is in the air!
Princess Tiana
And we’ve been sampling all the Valentine’s day treats in the parks. We’ve also enjoyed seeing all the special Disney Valentine’s Day merchandise, including balloons, plushes, and Minnie ears!
We’re quickly approaching the opening date for the new Star Wars Trading Post location in Downtown Disney. The Star Wars Trading Post will open on February 19th, and guests will be able to explore the hidden Resistance jungle base in a galaxy far, far away.

Unlike Galaxy’s Edge, the jungle base storyline will be placed outside of the limits of the Star Wars timeline, so you’ll be able to buy merchandise from all different Star Wars eras! As Star Wars fans ourselves, we can’t wait to visit this place! The new location of the base is actually the former home of Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. So, how exactly did Disney transform the rainforest into a jungle from another galaxy?
Update: This discount is now available for all guests, not just Disney VISA cardholders.
Having a Disney VISA Rewards card comes with a few perks.

If you’ve been keeping up with the latest Disney parks collection, you know that this 12-part merchandise series features Stitch “crashing” classic Disney animated films with some new merchandise (like pins and plushes) released every month! Last month, Stitch got into a rose bush from Beauty and The Beast. But this month, he’s gotten into something much tastier — and Disney is letting everyone get in on the action!
Hello to all our DFB Friends!

We spent a day hanging around EPCOT to check on all the latest new things, so if you’re ready for some updates, here we go!
We have been taking in ALL of the scenes at the new expansion in the France Pavilion at EPCOT! Day or night, this new area is a beauty.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Area in the France Pavilion
We’re convinced that if we stay there long enough Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is bound to open at some point — right?! Though we don’t have an opening date for the new ride quite yet, we spotted TONS of new merchandise themed after the upcoming ride earlier this year. And people went nuts over it — including us! And now, we have great news for anyone looking for a new world traveling buddy in the form of a talking mouse.
