food IS a theme park
Is there anything more iconic within the Walt Disney Company than Mickey Mouse?
Magician Mickey in Town Square Theater
Mickey has been the star of the Disney show since Steamboat Willie graced our screens in 1928. Since then, the company has been pretty strict about protecting its intellectual property. But soon, the copyright of that animated short will expire. So, what happens then?
Downtown Disney has been CHANGING lately.
Downtown Disney
Two restaurants and an iconic cupcake spot have all closed, a new table-service Earl of Sandwich has opened its doors, and Naples Ristorante e Bar has started serving brunch on the weekends! But now, chicken lovers will also have a new restaurant to check out, and we’ve got a full look at what you can enjoy.
There are tons of ways to celebrate Disney’s 100th Anniversary.
100th Anniversary Display in Disney’s Emporium
There are new nighttime shows, shiny new costumes, and new TREATS to experience throughout the event. But one addition allows you to take the celebration home with you — the merch! We’ve seen 100th Anniversary pressed pennies, retro Mickey ears, and even an anniversary car. Today, Alice in Wonderland fans are going to want to see the latest collection that Disney just dropped online.

Have you ever been to Disney World in August?
Gotta be prepared for those really sunny days!
Let me paint a picture for you. It’s 98°. You’re standing in an outdoor queue for a ride with a 2-hour wait time, desperately trying to inch closer to the fan that’s fifteen feet ahead of you. The Dole Whip you got earlier in the day to cool off melted into a sticky mess as you ate it, and the evidence is on your shirt. Listen, we love Disney World, but in the summer it can be ROUGH. So, sometimes we do some questionable things to survive the heat — but don’t knock ’em til you try ’em!
