Bluey’s Best Day Ever starts on March 22nd, and Disneyland has added a bunch of new snacks to celebrate. We’re super excited to try Poffertjes! Poffertjes and the Magic “Asparagus” Pretzel, a pretzel rod coated in white chocolate that looks like a piece of asparagus. There will also be a popconr bucket and sipper.

Starting this week, Disney+ will start adding “Verts” which is a new vertical video feed. You can swipe through a stream of scenes and moments from movies and Shows on Disney+ and add them right to your watchlist. Disney says, “Verts offers a fun, fast way to explore that catalog right from the moment users open the app.”
