food IS a theme park
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Cinderella Castle refurbishment!
Magic Kingdom
There was a lot of preparation involved in refurbishing Cinderella Castle — as we saw with the “paint-by-number” situation on the castle earlier this summer! In order to complete the updates, the surrounding moat was drained, and we hadn’t seen it returned to its former glory since the parks reopened — until today!
We spotted several fun new additions at Mouse Gear today!
Mouse Gear
EPCOT has been on fire when it comes to new merch lately! We’ve seen adorable new Macaron Minnie Ears, a Norway Spirit Jersey, Viking Mickey Ears, and MORE! But World Showcase isn’t the only place we’ve spotted fun new merchandise!
The Disney World parks have now reopened, but some attractions and entertainment offerings are still unavailable, including several shows which involve live performers.
Disney World
While Disney had planned to call performers back for rehearsals ahead of the park reopenings, the Actor’s Equity Association unanimously rejected Walt Disney World’s plan for the safety of its members.
One of our top tips for visiting Disney World is to make sure you stay HYDRATED!
Free Cup of Water
And while guests can get free cups of water at quick service restaurants around the parks, we like to bring along a reusable water bottle as well to make sure we’ve got a backup stash! So, when we spotted some cute new water bottles on our visit to EPCOT today, we just had to share!
The Hollywood Tower Hotel is a star in its own right — so it’s only fitting that it has its own merch!
Tower of Terror
We’re constantly on the lookout for merchandise themed after our favorite attractions! And while the Tower of Terror Minnie Ears we spotted a few weeks ago quickly sold out, we found some NEW items on our trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today!
Who’s ready for SPOOKY season??
The Haunted Mansion
Now is an excellent (and potentially expensive) time to be a Haunted Mansion fan! Disney has released a TON of new merchandise themed after the iconic attraction, including dresses, Minnie Ears, a spirit jersey, and more!
On our visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we were greeted with something new before we even officially entered the park!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Sure, we found new Star Wars tees and an adorable Minnie Mouse phone case in Hollywood Studios today. But let’s REWIND to something super interesting that we experienced before we passed through the park gates!
We spotted some cute and cuddly characters at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom!
The Emporium
A few days ago, we found an ADORABLE vintage-inspired Minnie Plush in Magic Kingdom. She’s so cute that we realllllly hoped some of her friends would pop up as well. And today, our wish was granted!
This Mickey Waffle Sundae has a TWIST!
Mickey Ears Bowl!
A few weeks ago, we came across a new Mickey Waffle Sundae at BoardWalk Bakery. And since this treat includes one of our favorite hard-to-find snacks — a CHOCOLATE Mickey Waffle — we had to give it a try! Well, on our most recent visit to BoardWalk Bakery, we noticed something different about this sundae. So, once again, we decided to investigate!
