food IS a theme park
Although Downtown Disney welcomed back guests in July, the rest of Disneyland Resort remains closed.

And it seems that Disneyland’s reopening continues to get delayed, with reservations most recently canceled through September 12th. At the time, guests could only make reservations after September 15th.
Halloween is almost here, and it’s time to get spooky! We’ve already started to enjoy Halloween in the parks, what with all the spooktacular merchandise and food we’ve found.
Jack Skellington Frappuccino from The Trolley Car at Hollywood Studios
But not all the spooky snacks are on the menu: some are secret, meaning you have to know how to order them, like the Jack Skellington Frappuccino.
Halloween might not even be behind us yet, but we’re already getting pretty excited about holiday happenings at Disney World, even if they’ll be a little different this year.
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
But at least one thing will be the same this year: Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is getting its annual holiday makeover.
Mickey Mouse might be the main attraction at Disney Parks, but Minnie Mouse is a star in and of her own right! And we love seeing Mickey’s main squeeze on merch at the parks!
It’s Minnie!
We just recently spotted a brand new piece of Minnie merch at the parks and this one can protect your phone!
We have loved so much of the original content that Disney+ has released so far from The Mandalorian (aka The Baby Yoda Show) to a production of the Broadway show Hamilton. And now Disney+ has a new original movie coming next month!

The movie is Clouds, and we’re pretty sure this one is going to be a tearjerker!
Disney World is all about the theming, which is one of the reasons guests love it so much. But theming isn’t just reserved for the attractions and hotels — oh no, it also extends to many of the restaurants (and we’re especially excited about the upcoming space-themed Space 220 at EPCOT!).
Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the upcoming Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs also has a mysterious backstory!
Although the Sprinkles spots at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney are mostly known for its cupcakes (hello, red velvet!), the bakery also bakes up a lot of other goodies, including cookies, brownies, and layer cakes.
Sprinkles at Disney Springs
Honestly, we could stare at the bakery case at Sprinkles ALL DAY LONG, drooling and trying to decide what to get (everything, please?). And that’s not even including their limited-time cupcake flavors, like the banana split cupcake.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the second Star Wars movie ever to exist, The Empire Strikes Back! And we’ve already seen some pretty cool things to celebrate, like 40th Anniversary T-Shirts, a sweet new backpack, and even a special MagicBand!

But there’s only one way to really celebrate The Empire Strikes Back turning 40, and that’s by going to the movies!
Now that the live-action Mulan has officially released on Disney+, we’re seeing even more merchandise dedicated to our favorite warrior popping up all over the parks and online. I mean, have you even seen the gorgeous Mulan castle collection?
Mulan Preview
But we just spotted what might be the coolest piece of Mulan merchandise yet!
When it comes to favorite things to do in the parks, almost nothing tops being able to come face to face with a variety of animals at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. In fact, even when the parks were closed, we spent a lot of time virtually checking in to see what many of those animals were up to!
Animal Kingdom
We’re WILD about all things Animal Kingdom, and you’ve seen us talk a lot about all the great snacks we’ve found there, as well as all the awesome merch (like this sweet Animal Kingdom Parks Life MagicBand). But in the end, it’s really all about the animals, right?
