food IS a theme park
June is Pride Month which tends to mean you can find a slew of themed merchandise and treats around the Disney parks.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
And speaking of merchandise and treats, Disney has already introduced a line of new Pride merchandise (and will donate 100% of proceeds to organizations that support LGBTQIA+ youth and families). And now, Gideon’s Bakehouse has brought back a delicious cookie for June!
Is it just us or is Disney’s Animal Kingdom one of the most beautiful parks in Disney World?
The Tree of Life
We love that there is so much greenery (and shade because, y’all, it’s been HOT and muggy). Then there are the little hidden details most people never notice. We might even argue that Animal Kingdom is Disney World’s best park! We were there just recently, checking everything out and getting details on everything new.
Normally we’re not fans of guessing games when it comes to Disney World…unless you’re talking about souvenirs that involve some mystery. Yes, you could just choose a plush from the giant plush wall that you know you’ll like, but what’s the fun in that, right?
Plushes Everywhere
Well, Disney Wishables are here to keep you guessing! We’ve seen a ton of different Wishables series over the years including ones featuring Star Wars, Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade, and more. And, now the newest Wishables collection is now available online and it’s all about a classic Disney movie!
Wow! What a month, y’all!
Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi
SO much happened in May: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT. We had a ton of announcements come in from Star Wars Celebration. While all that was going on, we also kept an eye on every menu at Disney World restaurants so we could keep you updated on any changes.
Celebrate Soulfully might have started earlier this year in Disneyland, but the party is just getting started.
Celebrate Soulfully artwork in Downtown Disney
The event highlights black heritage and culture through food, art, and music throughout the resort. We also saw the reopening of the Tale of the Lion King show and the Soul of Jazz exhibit previously seen in EPCOT. But let’s get back to the food, shall we? Because we’re trying out some new snacks in Disneyland right now!
What a week, right?
Which would you pick?
We’ve been gearing up for Star Wars Celebration, sharing all the big news and announcements, but don’t think we’ve forgotten about food because, well, FOOD IS our middle name (literally). So let’s grab a churro and take a look at Disney World restaurant menus and see what kind of updates we’ve seen this week.
Hello from the West Coast!
Disneyland Monorail
We’ve had an exciting week at Disneyland Resort (and at Star Wars Celebration). So much fun stuff is happening right now — even Boba Fett and Fennec Shand have arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland! So what else has been going on? Well, let’s find out!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is still going strong (and will keep going until 2023!).
The 50th Anniversary is going strong!
Not only have we eaten a TON of 50th anniversary treats, but we’ve also shopped a TON of 50th anniversary items (although we’ve seen many 50th anniversary souvenirs disappear quickly at the parks!). Now, though, two of the most popular 50th anniversary souvenirs are BACK!
This weekend marks the beginning of summer…as well as the summer travel season.
Will you be flying to Disney World this summer?
Florida tourism is already breaking records this year, and this weekend alone, over 2 million Floridians are expected to travel. However, although travel demand is up, there are still some factors — including the ongoing global pandemic, high gas prices, and inflation — that might make travel for many more challenging this summer. Plus it might be a little harder to find flights to Orlando soon on one airline.
Did you know that today is National Burger Day?
D-Luxe Burger
Well, it is — and we are all about trying out some good burgers. Now, we have our favorites at Disney World, but for this National Burger Day, we’re spending time at a media event at D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs trying out some revamped burgers. Oh, yeah, now THAT sounds like fun!
