Uhm…We Found an Interesting Looking Treat in Disney World Today

We are still trying to find as many holiday snacks as we can in the parks and are happy that quite a few selections have stuck around past Christmas this year!

Hollywood Boulevard’s Holiday Decorations

Well, today we visited the Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and found a holiday treat that has stuck around but it looked a little…off.

While we were grabbing another Eggnog Latte (because who knows how much longer these will be available!) we spotted the Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone looking a little greener than normal… .

A VERY Green Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone

The Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone is a chocolate pine cone-shaped mousse on top of a praline “leaf” but this normally tasty treat doesn’t look too appetizing with that much green food coloring and white snow. Dare we say it looks…moldy?

Especially since it typically looks like this… .

Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone

This holiday treat is usually pretty tasty and stunning, so this is probably just a fluke and the treat should go back to looking like an actual pinecone! But this was quite an interesting thing to spot in the case today and we couldn’t help but giggle a bit.

Check out more holiday treats in Hollywood Studios!

Save BIG When You Buy Disney’s World of Avatar Face Masks Online!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission.

Guests who visit Pandora – World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom are swept away by the gorgeous landscaping and architecture of the immersive land.

Pandora Face Masks

The Floating Mountains are a spectacle and the area comes alive with bioluminescent lighting at night. Disney truly went all out to make this place as eye-catching as possible. New face masks were released last month that are inspired by the land, characters, and storyline of Pandora. The masks have now been released on shopDisney!

All four masks are available to be purchased as a set for $19.99. The face masks can only be purchased individually for $9.99 in Disney World. That means you’re getting a big discount when you buy the set online. It’s usually cheaper to buy in bulk!

You’ll receive the face mask illustrating the Floating Mountains…

Pandora Floating Mountains Face Mask

…the patch print that “advertises” different icons within the World of Avatar…

…the Avatar design that’s inspired by the Na’vi people…

…and the bioluminescent mask.

The art on this mask similar to a scene you’d see on the Na’vi River Journey attraction.

Find the Pandora Face Mask set on shopDisney here!

These face masks are perfect for your next flight on a banshee or an adventurous trip to the grocery store! We should also let you know that shopDisney’s Twice Upon a Year sale is happening on select items right now. A little post-Christmas shopping never hurt anyone!

What We Loved the Most in 2020

Whether it’s a headliner attraction opening or something that just makes life better, or an experience of making lemonade out of lemons, there were some things we loved about 2020. Here’s our list of the things that we actually loved from 2020.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway – December 9, 2020

If there’s ever a year where we just needed something fun, it was this year. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is just plain fun. It may not be as high-tech as Rise of the Resistance, and certainly won’t be as heart-stopping as Guardians of the Galaxy or TRON when they open, but that’s what makes this so incredible. It’s something the whole family can enjoy and it is fun to do again and again. It also has the perfect 2020 motto “Nothing Can Stop Us Now…” which also wins for best irony in that this attraction launched and then Walt Disney World closed that same month. Ah, 2020.

 

Character Cavalcades for the Holidays

Jack and Sally in Halloween Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom

With the desire to keep people from congregating for things like parades, and with meet and greets on hold, Disney introduced character cavalcades at all Walt Disney World theme parks. What was really wonderful, however, were the cavalcades for Halloween and Christmas, allowing daytime guests to experience some of the beloved aspects of the nighttime parades during hard-ticket events but without the extra cost of attending the event. Even when the nighttime events come back, I’d personally love to see these little cavalcades continue.

 

The NBA Bubble

 

Disney has been host to all sorts of sports events in the past, but the sheer scope and logistics behind the NBA Bubble were mind-boggling. It was surreal hearing commentators talking about “that shot on basket went so far that it almost hit EPCOT” and seeing glimpses inside Bubble life at Disney resorts. Even if you weren’t a basketball fan, it was a welcome escape over the summer.

New Bag Check Procedure

 

Gone are the days of standing behind the person with a backpack that has 50 different zippered pouches that all have to be opened one at a time! The new walk-through security screening at Disney Parks is so much easier and more efficient. For most people, just walk on through security without having your bag checked. (If you have something that sets off the scanner, for instance umbrellas seem to be problematic at times, you go for quick additional screening.) This has made for a much more pleasant experience entering the parks without compromising safety.

Got any items you’d include on this year’s list of things we loved? Let us know in the comments.

PHOTOS: Tents for the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts 2021 Arrive at World Discovery

fota-booths

Some tents are now in place for the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts 2021, which begins on January 8. These tents were last positioned in the garden behind Innoventions West, but that area is currently blocked off due to ongoing construction and demolition. Instead, they are gathered around planters near Mouse Gear and Test Track, in the upcoming World Discovery neighborhood. These long tents are where different works of art will be sold at the festival and […]

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission.

Just because the holiday season is wrapping up, that doesn’t mean that we have to stop shopping!

2021 Merchandise

In fact, we’ve recently been checking out the new 2021 merchandise, and we’ll be looking forward to the new items that come out next year for the upcoming attractions, like the TRON coaster and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. But, you don’t have to wait until then to do your shopping, because TONS of new Disney products arrived online last week, and we’ve got the complete list for you!

Minnie Ears

Designer BaubleBar Minnie Ears

We’ve seen A LOT of designer Minnie ears, but we’ve been really digging this new pair from BaubleBar. Last week, the new headband arrived in Disney Worldas well as on shopDisney, and we were smitten! The crystals on the ears and the big red bow just add a very classy touch.

BaubleBar Designer Minnie Ears

Since they’re designer ears, they’re more expensive than your typical pair — these are priced at $78. (Hey, at least they’re not $600 like the Heidi Klum ones!)

Click Here to Shop the BaubleBar Designer Ears!

Champagne Minnie Ears

If you want something a little bit more affordable but just as sparkly, then check out these Champagne Minnie Ears!

Champagne Minnie Ears

We had previously seen these advertised and spotted in the parks, but they arrived online last week. Grab your pair for $29.99 on shopDisney!

Check Out the Champagne Minnie Ears Online Here!

‘Star Wars’ Merchandise

The Child Plush and Collectible Key Bundle

It’s probably a law that we’re not allowed to go an entire week without showing some new Star Wars merchandise, especially any items based on The Mandalorian. And while these two products aren’t exactly new, there’s a new way to buy them with The Child Plush & Collectible Key Bundle. 

©Disney

With this bundle, you can get a Baby Yoda plush along with the collectible key for just $16, which is a savings of 40%!

The Darksaber

If you’re looking for a truly unique lightsaber to wield, then look no further! You can now pre-order the Star Wars Darksaber from shopDisney for $249.99.

With this weapon, you’ll be heralded as the ruler of Mandalore, and you’ll be able to participate in some pretty awesome lightsaber battles as well! The actual saber won’t arrive until next year, but you just might get it in time for the premiere of Season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Alice in Wonderland Merchandise

A whole collection of Alice in Wonderland items arrived on BoxLunch last week, including this clever The White Rabbit’s Scavenger Hunt Game! Your family can play along together as the keys are hidden around the home — the clues on the tags will lead you to your next location. It’s currently 30% off, priced at $11.83.

If you’d like a more obscure game (at least in America), then definitely take a look at this Queen of Hearts Croquet Set. Based on the croquet scene from the book and movie, the mallets are made to look like flamingos and the arches are made of playing cards! This set is 30% off and currently available for $37.03 — the new year is a great time to learn a new sport!

There were several other items in this collection, including a storybook, some bags, and a puzzle set, so make sure to check them all out if you’re a fan of this classic Disney movie.

Haunted Mansion Apparel

This new line of clothing from HotTopic is scary and stylish at the same time, with pieces based on Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction. We really loved these spooky Madame Leota leggings, with intricate and unique designs on both legs. You can pick up a pair for $29.90 (unless they’re on sale).

©HotTopic

We also found this Haunted Mansion Icons Dress to be hauntingly charming. It reminds us of the Cast Member costumes at the ride, and it’s definitely a bold look.

Order it online for $44.90 at its regular price, and you’ll be ready to join the happy haunts!

New MagicBands

Three new MagicBands arrived online last week, ones that we had previously spotted in the parks. The first of the group was this Big Thunder Mountain Railroad MagicBand for the ride’s 40th anniversary. 

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad MagicBand

With the name of the attraction on one side and the signature goat on the other, we’re seriously contemplating ordering one of these for $29.99.

If you prefer your classic Disney attractions to be a bit more chill and a lot more punny, then try this Jungle Cruise Skippers MagicBand instead!

Jungle Cruise MagicBand

This one really captures the ridiculousness of the Jungle Cruise — all the more reason to love it! Pick one of these up online for $24.99.

Snag the Jungle Cruise Skippers MagicBand Here!

Last of the three is the limited release Mickey and Minnie Dooney & Bourke MagicBand from the 2020 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

Pick Up the Food and Wine Festival MagicBand Here!

Kitchen Accessories

We noticed that several new kitchen accessories showed up on shopDisney last week, and some of them are really cute! We’re chuckling just looking at this cookie jar based on the Jungle Cruise — you can get one yourself for $55.

Jungle Cruise Cookie Jar at Disney Home

There’s also these precious salt and pepper shakers themed to 101 Dalmatians. You can order the set of 2 for $24.99.

Alien Remix Loungefly Bags

If you thought the Alien Remix collection was HILARIOUS, then you definitely need to see these Loungefly accessories from HotTopic. You can get the Alien Remix Backpack for $44.90 and continuously laugh at how ridiculous the little green aliens dressed as other Pixar characters are.

©HotTopic

We spot Carl from Up, Lotso from Toy Story 3, and Boo from Monsters, Inc. hidden among the design.

Shop the Alien Remix Backpack Here!

If you’d like something a little smaller, or simply just more budget-friendly, then try the Alien Remix Wallet. 

©HotTopic

Challenge yourself to see if you can figure out all the hidden characters, once you purchase this one for $19.90.

Buy the Alien Remix Wallet Online Here!

Soul Face Masks

We had previously noticed the face masks based on Pixar’s newest movie, Soul, in Disney World, but now they’re sold as a bundle of 2 on shopDisney. With the bundle, you’ll actually save about $8 as compared to buying the masks in the parks.

©Disney

One mask features Mr. Mittens from the film, while the other showcases a design based on the Half Note Jazz Club. Get them together for $11.99 online!
