Happy Earth Day and welcome to Magic Kingdom!

A panda sized mug is causing “pandemonium.”

“‘Ohana mean family” and that includes pets! A new pet tee is available at the Emporium.

We stumbled upon Disneyland’s Main Street Electrical Parade 50th Anniversary merchandise. Tonight the nighttime spectacular returns, and Walt Disney World is joining the celebration.

The Loungefly Ear Headband is glow in the dark and features Elliot the dragon and Mickey Mouse.

The Loungefly mini backpack has a front pocket to hold your matching ears!

Main Street Electrical Parade is spread across this tank.

We found three Main Street Electrical Parade 50th Anniversary pins at Frontier Trading Post.

At Main Street Cinema, we found another new Loungefly backpack. This 50th Anniversary Vault balloon collection backpack floated onto the shelves today.

It’s time for a treat, and since it’s Earth Day, we are at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for the Plant (Based) In Boot.

We loved this unique Earth Day treat.

Thanks for following along!
