food IS a theme park
Okay, where are our ALDI shoppers at? We love ALDI because not only are we always finding a lot of great unique food items, but we often find Disney souvenirs and essentials, too.

Well, you might just want to make plans to visit your local ALDI next week because some Disney souvenirs and essentials will be headed there from October 22nd through October 28th.
In just a few weeks, we’ll go from singing “This is Halloween” to “Jingle Bells,” and we are SO ready for the holiday season in Disney World.

One of the most magical holiday things you can do in Disney World is go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and enjoy all the special party activities, the food, and the SNOAP (y’all, the snoap just makes it that much more special). However, there are also exclusive souvenirs you can grab at the party. Now, Disney previously gave us a look at the party spirit jersey and ears, but now, we’ve got a first look at even MORE exclusive merchandise you’ll be able to get if you’ve got a party ticket.
If you’re a Disneyland fan, you’re probably wanting to get your hands on a Magic Key, which is Disneyland’s version of an Annual Pass.
Exclusive Magic Key Lounge
However, getting a Magic Key is easier said than done because sales of Magic Keys are limited, and for now, sales have been on hold for a little while. However, Magic Key sales do open again from time to time, and if you want to nab one, make sure November 4th is marked on your calendar because Magic Key sales will resume then.
Halloween will be over before you know it, and soon, Mickey wreaths and Christmas trees will be EVERYWHERE in Disney World.
A little boat modification for the holidays
It’s no secret that the holidays are a magical time in Disney World. You’ve got all the festive decor in the parks, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and Jollywood Nights. However, one of our favorite parts of the holiday season is the holiday overlay on Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom, and now we know that Jingle Cruise will be returning this year on November 3rd.
If you’re looking for a luxury stay near Disney World and don’t mind staying off property, there’s a brand-new (and MASSIVE) resort that could be the perfect place for your stay.

It seems like the U.S. has gone theme park crazy, with new experiences and theme parks on the way. Universal just opened its horror experience, Universal Horror Unleashed, while the company is building a NEW theme park, Universal Kids Resort, in Frisco, Texas.

Well, ANOTHER new theme park will be coming to Las Vegas soon, and it’s sort of like Disney’s Pop Century Resort…but with rides. It’s called RestroEscapes, and it’s about to to take you back to the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Universal has been doing a lot of expanding beyond its Orlando and Hollywood theme park locations. For example, Universal Horror Unleashed just opened (with terrifying results) in Las Vegas. Universal is also building a theme park in the U.K.

However, we’ve been keeping an eye on a NEW Universal theme park in the U.S., Universal Kids Resort, located in Frisco, Texas. Well, Universal just dropped some new details about that park, and y’all…we are EXCITED.

Who’s ready to caffeinate in Disney World?
Epic Cold Brew Spectacular!
Us, it’s us! Now, it’s already no secret that there are plenty of places to get great coffee in Disney World, including Starbucks and Joffrey’s. But sometimes, we see some new coffee drinks pop up in unexpected places, and it seems like Disney World is finally jumping on the cold brew trend (Disneyland has been riding that trend for a while), so we’ve got some new cold brew drinks in Disney World to tell you about!
We look at Disney World menu updates every week, and recently, we’ve noticed a very interesting trend: more non-alcoholic drinks and zero-proof cocktails are making it to menus. We’re talking about drinks not targeted at kids, but instead, at adults who don’t wish to drink alcohol.
Non-alcoholic cocktail
Well, this is a trend that’s taking over right now, perhaps in part thanks to Gen Z, who are drinking significantly less alcohol than the generations that came before them. Well, in timely fashion, Disney World just held its first non-alcoholic beverage-focused pairing event, and we were there to check it out — and it honestly surprised us.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
