Starbucks released a close-up of each of its six new pastries that dropped on February 9th, and we are all in. Once you get a look at these mouth-watering photos, you won’t stop thinking about them!
Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and as part of that celebration, Disney Imagineers brought a Walt Disney animatronic figure to life for the first time ever. Right now, Disneyland visitors can see this new animatronic as part of the Walt Disney — A Magical Life show at the Main Street Opera House that previously hosted Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

Now, Disney made it clear that the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln show wasn’t going away, and that the new show would eventually rotate with the old show. Well, now, we know when that’s going to happen…and it’s WAY sooner than we think. In fact, the two shows will be rotating as of tomorrow.
Spring is right around the corner, and we know a lot of folks are counting down the days until a very popular McDonald’s treat returns to the fast food restaurant.
It’s a popular choice
We’re talking about the Shamrock Shake, that green concoction that we just can’t seem to get enough of. Well, if you’ve been waiting for its annual return, you’ll be happy to know that your wait will end soon: the Shamrock Shake is returning to McDonald’s on February 17th.
Ok, we know it might sound crazy, but we can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone on a Disney World vacation and panic bought shoes!
Cinderella Castle
There have been too many times when we forget to pack more until we’re sitting on the plane, looking down, and realizing it’s just our Toms/Crocs/flip flops on our feet. If you can relate, don’t worry! First, you’re not alone. Second, because we’ve been there too many times, we have a list of the go-to panic buys that you should grab BEFORE your Disney World vacation!
EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival will be here before we know it — March 4th is just around the corner.
The Flower and Garden Festival is almost here!
EPCOT festivals are tons of fun, but they can also be a little stressful if you’ve never been to one before, or if it’s been a while.

So, without further ado, here are the 12 essentials we think you’ve GOT to have with you for your upcoming festival trip!
Disney World isn’t the only resort in the U.S. getting some serious updates. Disneyland is also about to get some new things, including an Avengers Campus expansion with two rides, a new Avatar-themed land, and a new Coco ride. Well, those things are going to bring in a LOT more people, but there’s a problem…where are all those folks going to park?

Well, last year, Disney announced it had plans to build a new parking and transportation hub that would take care of that problem. Now, we’re starting to see movement on that project. According to ThemeParkIQ on X, Disneyland just filed a permit for work on the new parking and transportation hub’s site.
Being a D23 Gold Member comes with all sorts of perks and benefits! Now, there’s a new experience coming to EPCOT that D23 Members CAN’T miss — it involves food!

Disney World is always changing…which means construction is inevitable during your next vacation.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
While ride refurbishments and theme park expansions dominate Disney World construction discourse, hotel projects hardly go unnoticed. Hotel construction affects where you’ll stay and what kind of lodging experience, after all. In fact, 13 hotels are already scheduled to undergo significant construction. Let’s go over which hotels will be affected and what kind of work will be done at each!
We legitimately get excited when we see new food in Disney World. If we even get a HINT that a new food or drink has popped up somewhere, you can bet we’re racing to whatever restaurant has it, and we’re ordering it so we can taste it and get you a review.
New cookie alert
Well, we spotted a new cookie recently in EPCOT, and let’s just say our first impressions were totally based on how it looked. Well, we decided to go ahead and get it anyway, and we’ll just say that if you love chocolate, we just found your new favorite Disney World snack.
