It’s hard to believe that Disney World closed over five years ago, although there are still some things that haven’t yet returned to the park (and may never return again).

Marching bands are back!

However, some pre-pandemic traditions ARE returning to the parks, even now, five years later. This morning, we witnessed a marching band in EPCOT, which we haven’t seen since 2020.

A NEW Gideon’s Bakehouse Loungefly Is Coming to Disney World SOON

By Leave a Comment

We’ll admit it…we’re a little obsessed with Loungefly bags. But can you blame us? First, Loungefly releases new Disney bags ALL the time, and it’s really hard not to just buy them all. It’s really one of our favorite collaborations that Disney has ever done with a company.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

There’s a Loungefly for everything…from our favorite movies to our favorite characters to our favorite TV shows. However, one of our favorite snack spots in Disney World is getting its own Loungefly. No, really. And if you love Gideon’s Bakehouse as much as we do, you’ll want to be ready to grab it when it goes on sale SOON.

REVIEW: We’re Calling It Now. Disney World’s NEW Corn Dog Is Going To Be Controversial

By 2 Comments

We were so excited when Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs (a Disneyland STAPLE) finally made its way across the country to Disney World in Florida. Now, we know that Blue Ribbon is notorious for creating corn dogs that are controversial (Pickle Dog…need we say more?).

Meet the Salmon Dog

Well, we think Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs at Disney’s BoardWalk might have just out-controversial’d itself because its new Corn Dog is probably going to divide a lot of Disney fans. We’re STILL confused about it.
