We LOVE Disney Loungefly bags!
Loungefly bags are great park bags!
Loungeflys come in all shapes and sizes. We especially like the backpacks for park bags while wandering Disney World, but you can also find crossbody bags, purses, satchels, and more. Some Loungefly bags can be pretty expensive, so when we find great deals on them we shout it from the rooftop! Don’t miss your chance to score these adorable Disney Loungeflys on Amazon for under $70.
The mayor of a metropolis in the French Riviera is looking to ban massive cruise ships from porting along its coast.
Disney Treasure Cruise Ship
Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, France has developed plans to ban cruise ships from docking along the coast of the city. He aims to protect the environment and mitigate over-tourism within the area. While some people agree with the new decree, others hope it does not come to fruition.
Are you a big fan of The Muppets?

While many fans are sad that Muppets Courtyard will be closing soon to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. Land, there are still many special Muppets things to get excited about. The Muppets will be leaving Muppets Courtyard, but they’re headed to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Sunset Boulevard. But that’s not all fans can be excited about; we recently spotted a new very FANCY Miss Piggy watch that every Muppets fan is going to want!
Universal’s new Stella Nova Resort is officially open!
Stella Nova Resort
The new hotel is a twin resort to the Universal Terra Luna Resort, which will open later this year. Both hotels are located directly across the street from the new theme park Epic Universe, which will open on May 22nd, 2025. We stayed at Stella Nova on its opening day and got a peek at all the new amenities, shops, and restaurants inside the hotel. We also decided to test out the bus system that takes you from Stella Nova to the Universal Orlando Resort, and what we noticed about our trip might be some bad news.
If you’ve been following us here at DisneyFoodBlog for some time, you probably know that we are obsessed with DOLE Whip treats you can get in the Disney parks.
Dole Whip from Aloha Isle at Disney World
DOLE Whip comes in various forms around Disney World and Disneyland. You can simply get a cup of DOLE Whip soft-serve, DOLE Whip floats, DOLE Whip in drinks, and much more. Its creamy, fruity goodness is hard to top, especially on a hot day in Florida. Normally, a cup of the soft-serve will cost about $6, which isn’t terrible to shell out for this yummy snack. However, there is one place where the cost of some DOLE Whip is about double that amount, but we’re willing to pay it EVERY TIME.
