food IS a theme park
Being a Disney Vacation Club Member comes with a lot of benefits, including discounts, access to Members-only lounges, exclusive merchandise, and much more. In order to access these benefits and discounts, however, simply being a DVC Member is not enough.

Members must acquire a Disney Vacation Club Membership Card to obtain access to those special benefits, and the minimum point requirement needed to qualify for these cards has just gone up.
We’re less than ONE DAY AWAY from the grand opening of Avengers Campus! The new land coming to Disney California Adventure is filled with superheroes, Spider Bots, and out-of-this-world food!
Avengers Campus
Speaking of eye-popping food, Pym Test Kitchen will be serving up a $100 sandwich (no, that’s not a typo!) — and we finally have a first look at this massive dish!
Another month has come and gone, which means it’s time to wrap up our monthly picks for the best and worst things we tried in Disney World in May!
EPCOT
This month includes seasonal items as well as items you can still find in the parks and resorts — let’s drive right in and see what made it to the top (and bottom) of our list!
At the start of 2021, Disney World stopped sending free MagicBands to their on-site resort guests. Those guests would now need to either reuse an old MagicBand or purchase a new one, either online ahead of their vacation or at one of the gift shops in Disney World.
There are a TON of colors and styles to choose from!
Since then, Disney World launched MagicMobile, a new way of using your smart phone for park admission, FastPass+ redemption (when available), and (eventually) as a payment method. With your phone essentially acting as a MagicBand, and a revamped MagicBand+ on the way, is it time to toss all of those old wearable devices in the trash?
There’s nothing like buying a Mickey Balloon that lets you know that you are DEFINITELY in Disney World. Whether you buy one on every trip or you just enjoy watching them float along Main Street, U.S.A., the balloons are a special Disney World souvenir that brings a whole bunch of smiles to a whole bunch of people!
We sure love Mickey Balloons, even if they are a tad overpriced!
That’s why we get REALLY excited when we spot new balloons around the resort, and this latest design available in Disney Springs is perfect if you’re a fan of the new “Kingdom of Cute” collection!
Something horrible is afoot at the Disneyland Resort!

Disneyland is known far and wide for their iconic churros (sorry, Disney World, the west coast has got you beat on this one). Recently, we’ve snacked on their specialty Celebration Churro in Disneyland as well as the French Toast Churro at California Churro Co. in Downtown Disney.
Despite all of the carefully thought-out planning that goes into a Disney World vacation, something is bound to go awry at least once or twice.
It’s the Most Magical Place on Earth, But Things Aren’t Always Perfect
When that happens, the most important thing you and your family can do is remain flexible and roll with the punches — and keep the following tips in mind!
Happy Pride Month! For the month of June, you can find specialty menu items across Disney World, including fun food drinks at Disney Springs like the Pride Donut at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew and the “Keylime Pride” cocktail at The Polite Pig!
City Works Eatery and Pour House
City Works Eatery and Pour House is also taking part in the celebration with a specialty beer flight!
June has officially arrived, which means it’s time to get started on our summer reading list! If you need a few more ideas on what to add to your list, Salt & Straw at Downtown Disney may be able to help!
Salt & Straw
Every month, we look forward to finding out what new seasonal flavors will be added to the menu. In the past we’ve seen very unique scoops of ice cream inspired by bowls of cereal, holiday flavors, and yes, even Thanksgiving turkey. Just in time for summer, we now have several new BOOK-inspired flavors.
Welcome back to the Happiest Place on Earth: the Disneyland Resort! Since the theme parks reopened a month ago, we’ve been checking in on the latest construction, food, and merchandise news.
