We took a trip around the monorail to see the latest updates!

We visited Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We’ve got several updates for you, so let’s dive in!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Contemporary Merchandise Update

Attention pin collectors! Over in Fantasia in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we found a few new Star Wars Her Universe Pins! The first we found is the Princess Leia Pin that reminds you she was a “self-rescuing princess.”

The next pin set is perfect to give to your best friend. It’s the Best Friends Droid Pins, and they are two for the price of one!

There are many creatures in the Star Wars universe, but few as lovable as Ewoks! This Ewok Pin shows how adorable (and eco-friendly) they really are.

For those who love villains, there’s the Darth Vader Pin. Obviously this is his happy face… .

We sure miss getting hugs from Chewbacca in the parks. To remember those glorious hugs, you can grab the Chewbacca Free Hugs Pin! Each of these Star Wars pins is $15.99.

We also found a series of Loungefly lanyards in this shop! The first is the Ghost Host Loungefly Lanyard honoring the iconic Ghost Host from the Haunted Mansion. The name tag looks like Cast Member name tags!

The next one is the Haunted Mansion Loungefly Lanyard if you’re looking for some classic and spooky merch.

On the not-so-spooky side, there’s the Mickey Balloon Loungefly Lanyard. How classic is this one?!? Each lanyard is $20.

We also spotted the hard-to-find Dooney & Bourke Americana MagicBand here!

It’s covered in American icons like Mickey-shaped snacks, the American flag, and Mickey Mouse! This MagicBand is $58.

See more photos of the Americana MagicBand!

Over in Bayview Gifts, we found a new nautical jewelry line by Betsey Johnson!

This gorgeous Anchor Necklace is $75.

The Minnie Bow Earrings feature a classic Minnie made of seashells and a nautical bow for $65.

This Earrings Set gives you three smaller options for $50.

Or you can go big with the Anchor Hoop Earrings, also $50.

Make a statement with the Mickey Nautical Necklace for $125.

We noticed a new-to-us Reversible Door Hanger! On one side it says “Home Sweet Home” with the castle…

…and on the other side is says “My Happy Place” with different Disney icons. This cute door addition is $7.99.

We’ve seen several merchandise items in other Disney World locations, but they’re here in Bayview Gifts now! That includes this Mickey Polo Shirt…

…the new Stitch Ear Hat…

…and these colorful WDW Kids Sweatshirts!

We’ll keep coming back to these shops to check out the latest!

Polynesian Merchandise Updates

In BouTiki, we didn’t spot too many new things, but we did find the Dooney & Bourke Americana MagicBand here also!

The Honolulu Cookie Company cookies are back in the cute Mickey boxes! For the holidays, these were in holiday packaging, but they are back to the original.

We also found some Festival of the Arts merchandise far from its home in EPCOT. We found the Figment Festival of the Arts Pin…

…the Mickey and Donald Festival of the Arts Pin…

…and another Figment Festival of the Arts Pin!

We didn’t spot any other festival merch here, but we’ll let you know if we do!

Grand Floridian Food Update

By the Grand Floridian Cafe we found a BEAUTIFUL chocolate sculpture!

It features Mickey and Minnie smooching with intricate detail on one side…

…and an abstract pink, red, and white design on the back!

We’ve seen chocolate sculptures out here for other holidays, too, but this one is particularly stunning!

See the chocolate sculptures from Christmastime!

Grand Floridian Miscellaneous Update

Live entertainment has been back at the Grand Floridian for a little while now, but on our visit the pianist had moved!

The pianist used to be off to the side at a smaller piano in the lobby, but now you can find him at the 9 foot piano in the middle of the lobby!

Live Entertainment Returns to the Grand Floridian!

That’s all we’ve got at the monorail resorts today! We had a blast finding new merchandise, seeing live entertainment, and more. Be sure to stay tuned to DFB because we’ll be back soon!
