With the reimagining of EPCOT well underway, Walt Disney Imagineering is working on making every element of the park cohesive. Their latest permit is for “east support facility graphics.” The “east support facility” on Avenue of the Stars is the building next to Spaceship Earth which houses Gateway Gifts, stroller rentals, and more.

There’s nothing like a whole new collection of t-shirts to brighten our day! And on our most recent trip to Disney Springs, our latest discovery has us ready to set out on quite the big adventure!

Wait ’til you see these new t-shirts inspired from Pixar’s Up!, perfect for the entire family!

First up is a t-shirt featuring our favorite “big bird,” Kevin! She’s embracing the “Wild & Free” lifestyle in this adult tee for $24.99.

If you REALLY want folks to know just how much you love Kevin, then this next t-shirt may be perfect for you!

Why have just ONE Kevin on your shirt when you can have dozens!? This adult t-shirt is available for $36.99, and would pair perfectly with the Kevin Loungefly we’ve spotted in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

And for the kiddos, we spotted a bright and blue tee that includes the iconic line from the film, “Adventure is out there!”

But it may be the BACK of this t-shirt that has us sold, as Kevin’s bright plumage is peeking into the bushes. This youth t-shirt is available for $24.99, and would look so cute with this Kevin Zip-Up Sweatshirt!

And finally, we simply cannot forget about man’s best friend, Dug! Carl’s faithful canine companion in the film has his own women’s t-shirt, with a bright white and blue-striped pattern.

Dug himself is featured on the shirt with his signature phrase, “I have just met you and I love you” embroidered all around him! This adorable shirt is available for $36.99.

We may have just met this collection, but we already love it! Be sure to check these tees out next time you’re at World of Disney!

And you HAVE to check out this Baby Yoda hat we also spotted at World of Disney today by clicking here!

Downtown Disney began a phased reopening on July 9th while the rest of Disneyland Resort including its theme parks and hotels have remained closed.

Operating hours for the entertainment and shopping district have been 10AM to 8PM Friday through Sunday since its reopening, but now it appears they’ve made some adjustments to their weekend hours.

According to Downtown Disney’s website, its new weekend hours are now 10AM to 9PM Friday through Sunday.

That means you’ll have more time to shop, dine, and wander Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort than ever before. Well, at least since the closures occurred, tbh! You’ll be able to swing by Ballast Point Brewery and Tortilla Jo’s which have just reopened and check out the new California Sole store as well!

Don’t forget to reserve some time to check out World of Disney where we’ve been spotting a lot of cute stuff lately! If you haven’t seen the new Disneyland Character and Attraction face masks yet, be sure to click here!

Read about the latest update Disneyland has made to their face mask policy here!

Up fans have had quite a feather in their cap lately!

Not only have we spotted this colorful Kevin Loungefly Backpack recently, but also a Dug Hat and a new Dug Character Tee! Now we’ve just discovered the most adorable kids’ Kevin Sweatshirt in Disney World!

Yep, there’s even MORE Kevin in Disney Springs at World of Disney today! And yes, this looks like just about the coziest sweatshirt ever.

We love the cute little expression of Kevin’s eyes which accent the top of the hood. The new Kevin Sweatshirt is also fully-equipped with her beak and signature feathery plume!

There’s so much detail to take in with this new piece. Check out the “Kevin” patch sewn on its sleeve. So CUTE!

The sweatshirt itself is made of a soft, fleecy material that is SUPER soft and looks so cozy!

We also love how Kevin’s little wings are featured on each shoulder! Your kids are going to love running into the big bird herself and showing her they’re twinsies!

Pick up the new Kevin Sweatshirt in kids’ sizes at World of Disney for $46.99!

What do you think of the new Kevin Jacket? Let us know if you’ll be picking one up in the comments below!

We might have found the BEST hat we’ve EVER SEEN in Disney World.

Do you have a never-ceasing love for The Child from The Mandalorian (AKA Baby Yoda!)? Us too, that why we can’t get enough of the merchandise and the NEW PhotoPass spot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Well, just WAIT until you see the new The Child Hat we spotted in Disney Springs!

We were perusing the MASSIVE hat section in Disney Springs when we spotted this eye-catching, and ADORABLE Baby Yoda hat!

That’s a shape that’s almost as recognizable as Mickey ears by now! We can’t wait to see folks wearing these babies around the parks.

We spotted this TOTALLY adorable cap at World of Disney in Disney Springs for $27.99 and you can snag it right now. After all, we’re not sure there’s a better park hat anywhere!

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort has now reopened to guests!

We headed to the resort to check out all of the new health and safety measures and see what other changes have been implemented. We already shared photos from our experience, and now we’re taking you on a video tour of the reopened resort!

It was pretty quiet around Caribbean Beach Resort during our visit — just look at how peaceful it is down by the water!

So peaceful at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! pic.twitter.com/C8qJkTf3BI

The lobby hit us with some seriously relaxing vibes. We also noticed the added health and safety signage throughout the space.

We swung into Calypso Trading Post, the resident merchandise location at this resort. Did you know that you can mail a coconut from this store? So fun!

Of course, coconuts aren’t the ONLY wares here. You’ll also find some classic Disney merchandise and the occasionally Caribbean-themed must-haves.

Next, we took a step outside to the pool. Like at other reopened Disney resorts, the chairs are spaced out so that guests can socially distance while lounging. There’s signage asking guests to please NOT move any of the pool chairs.

We also took a moment to stop and enjoy the view of the Skyliner gondolas transporting guests on their flights!

We stopped by Banana Cabana to dream about tropical drinks in the Caribbean sun. Tables are distanced here so that guests are able to take off their masks while they eat and drink. Check out our review!

(Note that table-service restaurant Sebastian’s Bistro has not reopened yet.)

We love the details of the theming at this resort. Just look at the Jamaica section! Can you blame us?

Caribbean Beach Resort has a small island, Caribbean Cay, where guests can take a stroll or find a gazebo or swinging bench to sit down and relax.

Love walking around the Caribbean Beach Resort! pic.twitter.com/HUR8I7oUEr

In line with the Disney World health policies, the playground on Caribbean Cay was closed.

A huge perk of this resort is its proximity to the main hub of the Skyliner. You can travel to any of the Skyliner stations in mere minutes from here!
