It’s time to chat about the latest Disney NEWS!
Refresher

We have been following the development of Tropical Depression 9 and its potential impact on Florida over the last few days. Tropical Depression 9 (now Hurricane Ian) is being monitored. The path of the storm is not certain, but it could become a major hurricane threat for Florida.
Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!
In anticipation of this, Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency for 24 Florida counties as the storm has continued to strengthen. Note: This post is written chronologically and you can find the most up-to-date info from today near the bottom of the article.
Looking to attend an EXCLUSIVE Disney event? Well, the place that tends to offer many exclusive dining events is actually Disney Springs.
The Polite Pig in Disney Springs
Not only can you dine from special menus from time to time but you can sometimes even dine with celebrity chefs. Now, a fan-favorite quick service spot is hosting a VERY exclusive dining event and only 20 people will have the opportunity to attend.
The D23 Expo came and went, and with it came a few BIG announcements.
Hulk Meet and Greet Character
Not only did Disney announce a new Big Hero 6 area for Disney California Adventure but they also shared that the Magic Happens Parade would be returning, a new look at the concept art for Toontown, AND the fact that two new nighttime spectaculars would be debuting at Disneyland Resort soon. On top of this, we got to see a first look at Project EXO and how it would impact character interactions in the park with Hulk. Now, Hulk is out meeting guests for the first time.
If you’re anything like us, you probably walk into Target with the hope of just getting laundry detergent.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
And you exit said Target with…tons more than laundry detergent. We’ve all been there, right?! And with all of the new fall decor that they have dropped online, it’s hard to not do the same with scrolling through the Target website. Recently, we came across some mugs that we just had to share because they are the perfect addition for Pumpkin Spice Latte season. 🍂
We are big fans of Toy Story but oftentimes some of our favorite characters feel underrepresented in the parks and on merchandise!

Of course, you can find Woody and Buzz merch everywhere you go. But have you ever really looked for solid Wheezy merch?! If so, you probably know that it’s pretty hard to find. We know that our readers are BIG fans of Amazon, Loungeflys, and of course, Disney. So when we found a combo that was all three, we knew we had to share.
It’s Halloween, y’all! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially kicked off for the year in Disney World — and the Oogie Boogie Bash has returned to Disneyland.

We’re a fan of both events (especially THE FOOD), but one popular character from Disneyland’s party has arrived in Disney World — on a new pair of ears!

Now, we have a BIG update on the highly-anticipated live-action Haunted Mansion release date.
It is officially Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month.
Together We Are Magia
So, in honor of the month, Disney has rolled out over 50 NEW treats at both Disney World and Disneyland. We have already shared reviews of some of those eats over in Disney World. But now, we’ve got to tell you about a corn dog that you may want to add to your must-try list if you are heading to Disneyland Resort soon.
The 50th Anniversary is still happening at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Not only has this special occasion brought new decor to places like Magic Kingdom, but it has also introduced new snacks, meals, and MERCH! Our readers have loved seeing all of the limited-time merchandise they can snag for this iconic celebration and we have great news because some new 50th anni merch has just dropped online.
