Wallets at the ready? We hope so! Disney just released one of its most POPULAR souvenirs of the year, and we have a feeling it will be gone in no time. If there’s one thing Disney fans love, it’s Mickey-shaped decorations — ESPECIALLY around the Halloween season. Mickey pumpkins are a fall classic, just like pumpkin spice and candy apples!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
Are you ready to do some SPEED shopping? This isn’t the kind of purchase you can think about for a few days. In the past, we’ve seen these souvenirs sell out in less than an hour. Yes, really! We weren’t kidding when we told you to get your wallets out; you need to be FAST to place your order before those viral souvenirs are gone. Now, let’s go shopping!
What you’re about to see is a challenge of epic proportions. But for Dole Whip Day (July 18th), we pull out all the stops. We’re not afraid to take on the task, even if such an activity is probably easier when split between friends. When Dole Whip is involved, the gloves come off.
Tropical Serenade
In honor of Dole Whip Day, we were invited to participate in Disney’s Dole Whip Dash. Think of it like a scavenger hunt, but just for Dole Whip treats. Now, THAT is a scavenger hunt we can get behind! But remember how we told you this was a BIG challenge? Well, you’ll understand why in a moment. We ate nine (!!!) Dole Whip treats in one day. Nine. Breakfast? Dole Whip. Lunch? Dole Whip? Dinner? You guessed it! Dole Whip! Dessert? Lobster Thermidor. Kidding! We had more Dole Whip. Behold — Dole Whip Day 2024: EXTREME Edition.
BIG changes are coming to a popular EPCOT ride. Every once in a while, Disney will take a classic attraction and give it a little update! Recently, two Magic Kingdom rides were totally revamped to include new characters, new music, and new designs. But now, we’re headed over to EPCOT to talk about something NEW that is in the works.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Disney’s Test Track ride has undergone several iterations since its introduction. Most recently, the ride was designed to simulate a series of tests with an innovative new car — hence the name, Test Track. But now, the ride is CLOSED. That’s because Disney has plans to update the attraction! So far, Disney has been pretty quiet about what is planned for the ride, but we do have an important new clue.
William “Sully” Sullivan, a Disney Legend who worked with The Walt Disney Company for 38 years, passed away on July 16th, 2024. Sullivan was 88 years old.

William Sullivan was born in Fullerton, California. At age 19, Sullivan recalled watching the opening ceremonies for Disneyland on TV. “The following Saturday I went down and applied for a job. Monday I quit Northrop Aircraft, and Tuesday I reported to work as a ticket-taker at the Jungle Cruise,” Sullivan told Disney.
When you’re driving through Disney World, you see all kinds of things that you don’t see on a normal highway. You might spot a Skyliner gondola above your car. You might see fireworks in the distance. You could even see a giant Mickey-shaped solar farm! Point is, you never know what you might see on the road. Be alert!
Welcome to Disney World!
During a recent visit to Disney World, we spotted something BIG on the road. It might look familiar — especially if you’ve ever visited Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Wanna see?
We’ve put a man on the moon. We’ve invented robots that can do all kinds of wildly impressive things. We’ve even invented a literal fountain that dispenses chocolate. What will we think of next?! Well, Disney’s newest Dole Whip creation is pretty high on our list of amazing human accomplishments. Wait until you see it.
Refreshment Outpost
Tucked away in an easy-to-miss part of EPCOT is the Refreshment Outpost. This spot has a small menu, and the options often change from season to season. But right now, there’s a new Dole Whip treat that deserves some extra attention.
