food IS a theme park
Attention, skippers! More Jungle Cruise fun is on the way.
Jungle Cruise sign in Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen Disney’s classic Jungle Cruise attraction turn into a movie and a board game. We’ve even seen plans to give the ride a brand-new storyline as part of some BIG changes! And now, there’s a story of a different kind.
We spotted another new Disney mug in the parks today!
Main Street, U.S.A.
We’ve seen lots of new drinkware recently featuring character’s faces, Mickey and Minnie, and princesses. Now, we’ve got an attraction-inspired mug! And while we previously spotted it in Disneyland, it’s brand-new to Disney World.
New Disney face masks have arrived!
Festival of the Arts Face Mask
Disney has seen the arrival of lots of new masks recently: popular Disney Springs locations like Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew and Gideon’s Bakehouse have started selling their own masks, and masks for Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse are now available online. And now we’ve got some MORE new masks online…except some of these look oddly familiar!
On Sunday, Super Bowl LV took place.
Magic Kingdom
Even though Magic Kingdom’s annual Super Bowl parade was canceled this year, Disney still took part in the big day. New trailers for Raya and the Last Dragon and The Falcon and the Winter Solider debuted, and Disney animals even tried to get in on the fun by guessing who would win! And after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched a victory, Magic Kingdom celebrated in its own way.
Monorail fans: you may want to sit down for this one.
Contempo Cafe
Obviously, the delicious food and unique atmosphere of a Disney restaurant contribute to its theming. But so do the Cast Members! Their costumes play a huge part in the experience — and today, we noticed that some of those costumes had gotten a makeover.
We’ve got some fun new finds to show you!
EPCOT
EPCOT’s been busy with change lately! Construction projects around the park mean we’ve got the Space 220 restaurant and Guardians of the Galaxy ride on the way, and we couldn’t be more excited. But today we took a break from the bustle to check out the stores…and we HAVE to show you what we spotted!
The release of Raya and the Last Dragon is getting close!

Today, Disney announced that you can now pre-order it on Disney+. Basically, this entails paying $29.99 for Premier Access so you can watch it on the streaming service starting March 5th — the same day it releases in theaters. It’s a similar model to when Disney released the live-action Mulan last year. But what if you don’t want to pay?
Howdy, folks! We’ve got some great news.
Tom Sawyer Island
Tom Sawyer Island has been closed for quite some time while Rivers of America was drained. As construction took place, the trails, mines, and picnic benches remained empty. But a few days ago, we spotted rafts being tested on a refilled Rivers of America — and now, the island is back open for business!
We sure do love Loungefly bags!
Cinderella Castle
And quite a few of them have released online recently! We’ve seen bags inspired by Tangled, Peter Pan, and more. But if you were eyeing some park-exclusive Disney bags, you may be in luck! We found 2 new Loungeflys online today that we’ve previously only seen in the parks.
It’s almost Super Bowl weekend!
Cinderella Castle
One of Disney’s annual traditions is its Super Bowl parade down Main Street, U.S.A. But since Disney is limiting crowds due to the ongoing pandemic, we’ve been waiting to hear whether this time-honored tradition will take place this year. Now, we finally have an answer.
