food IS a theme park
It’s time for us to celebrate like royalty…because we’re celebrating royalty.

August 21st through August 27th is World Princess Week, which means we’ll be celebrating our favorite Disney Princesses all week long with giveaways, treats, and merchandise. And speaking of treats, today we’re digging into an enchanted snack inspired by Sleeping Beauty!
We have some pretty spine-chilling news, you guys.
Magic Kingdom
How are you celebrating Halloween on October 31st? Well, if you’re hoping to spend the spooky day in Magic Kingdom, we can’t really blame you. The park is filled with frighteningly-fun décor, treats, costumes, and more. But are you ready for the scary news? If you haven’t gotten your park pass reservation for October 31st yet, you may already be too late.
If you’re catching a flight soon, there’s a lot you’ll want to catch up on.
Let’s take a look at different stats
Flight delays, cancelations, staffing shortages — the “friendly skies” seem to be anything but, lately. But luckily, it’s not just bad news…if you’re flying through Orlando International Airport (MCO), you’ll have an easier time renting a car soon.
Things have been a little busy at Disneyland recently… .
Alien Pizza Planet
Halloween decorations have arrived, Magic Key renewals finally became available again (with a bit of a wait), and 2023 vacation packages are now open for booking! We’ve also got new food coming to the parks, including a brand new pasta dish at Alien Pizza Planet — and we’re trying it out!
Is there anything better than ice cream on a hot day? (Disregarding the fact that ice cream melts, of course.)
The Uni-Cone
There are a lot of ice cream options at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort, from unique ice cream flavors at Salt and Straw, to a classic Mickey Premium Bar, and more. And now we’re heading over to Disneyland Park to try another ice cream sundae!
When you think of the D23 Expo, what comes to mind?

Most think about the exclusive panels, huuuuuge announcements of upcoming Disney projects, and fun events. But, if you’re anything like us, something else also pops up in your brain…merchandise! Yes — merchandise. The event is always jam-packed with event-exclusive merch, and we have your first look at some of the items you can expect to see this year!
We’ve seen some interesting Disney bags recently.
Loungefly Bags
Are you a fan of unlikely duos, Haunted Mansion, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, or the Dapper Dans? If so, there’s a bag for all of that. And if you’re looking for a unique bag inspired by the goofiest character, you’ll want to head over to Amazon right now!
As far as creativity goes — Disney sets the bar pretty high.
EPCOT at night
Just take a look at their themed lands, festivals, merchandise, and entertainment. Their innovative and unique creations are often unmatched. And that’s exactly why we’re not too surprised to see that they received 10 Toy Nominations for the September 2022 Toy of the Year Awards. And if you want to snag some of these toys for yourself or your kiddos — now is your chance!
MagicBand+ has finally launched in Disney World!
MagicBand+
Yes, there have been some road bumps — glitchy character statues, delayed MagicBand+ arrivals, and some confusing elements. But it’s not all bad. Many guests have had a great experience with the new interactive features, and enjoy the MagicBand+ designs available around the resort and online. And, speaking of, 17(!!!) new designs have joined the mix — check out a few of our favorites!
The spooky season is here, friends!
Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom!
If you’re celebrating in the parks, you can attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, dig into some frighteningly-tasty treats, pose with some pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A., or grab some spoooooky merchandise. But if you’re not able to make it into Disney World for the Halloween season — don’t worry. You can grab some Halloween merchandise from home too!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
