Some people may say that Walt Disney World is not a fashion show, but we’d like to beg to differ.

Magic Kingdom

Now, we’re not saying it’s like a runaway at New York Fashion Week, but it’s a great place to express yourself! Whether it’s wearing your favorite character on a t-shirt or a whimsical pair of Minnie ears, one of the best parts of being at Walt Disney World is getting to dress in ways that reflect your interests and favorite things. One of the best ways to do that is through your park bag!

Bags are crucial to your day at the parks, they carry all your travel day essentials and, if you have one that catches people’s attention, you’ll pretty much always get kind compliments, which can really make your day. So, here is a list of bags we’ve worn to Disney World that people always compliment us on that we think you’ll absolutely love!

Loungefly Disney Lilo & Stitch Fruits Mini Backpack

We can’t stop getting complimented when we’re wearing this Stitch Loungefly backpack. It’s so vibrant and fun, and the little Stitch characters sprinkled around are so adorable. Plus it features what looks like a pineapple soft serve (maybe even a Dole whip?) on a cone, pineapples, and watermelons, which really gives it that summer vibe that’s perfect for the upcoming season!

Scarlet Witch Loungefly Mini Backpack

As Scarlett Witch fans, this bag was a must-have and there were no “ifs, ands, or buts” about it. Thankfully, everyone else seems to agree because every time we step into the park with this Loungefly backpack, we get so many compliments on it! The details on this are stunning, as well as the metallic red color of the bag.

Ok, y’all, we LOVE having our Stanley mugs with us everywhere we go.

We even take our Stanley to Disney World!

The large tumblers are great for keeping us hydrated every day of the week, especially in the hot Disney World parks. Plus, Stanley keeps coming out with more and more adorable colors of these mugs which make it extremely difficult to turn them down. Every time a new color comes out, we’re sure they can’t get any better — and then they do! So, we’re here to show you the latest and greatest Stanley color, because it’s AMAZING.

Stanley has come out with a beautiful subdued green color mug that is called “Matcha.” Yep, it reminds us exactly of the pretty green drink that we’re pretty sure has calming effects. However, this mug is doing everything except calming us down as we RUSH to Amazon to buy it!

Remember, you can get free, fast shipping with an Amazon Prime membership, so sign up for a FREE trial below!

It’s beauty and grace. This gorgeous matcha-colored mug needs to be part of our collection. The mug comes in two styles as all Stanley mugs do, one with a handle and one without. If you like having a handle to hold on to while you’re walking around, then grab the handled variation here!

On the other hand, if you prefer NOT to have a handle so it doesn’t get in the way, you can also get the sleek, non-handled variation. Both are that same pretty matcha green color, so you can be happy with either one you get!

We are always on the lookout for new water bottles, Disney souvenirs, and more to help make your next vacation better. Having a water bottle in the parks is a great way to stay hydrated, so consider one of these mugs or pick up a different one at the link below.

We have a confession to make: we are STILL not over WandaVision.

©Disney

Yes, we know it’s been three years since that show premiered on Disney+, but we’ve watched it several times SINCE. Yes, we know Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness sort of followed up on Scarlet Witch’s journey after the series, but we still have a lot of questions. Now, we know one WandaVision spin-off series is on the way soon, Agatha All Along. But now, Disney has announced a second WandaVision spin-off series, and we can’t contain our excitement!

According to Variety, a series based on the character of Vision will premiere on Disney+ in 2026. Say what?! So now, a reminder that Vision actually died in Avengers: Infinity War, but his body was recovered by S.W.O.R.D. The version of Vision we saw in WandaVision was a creation of Wanda’s hex spell over the town of Westview. When she released that spell, that Vision, along with their sons, ceased to exist.

But S.W.O.R.D. used the OG version of Vision’s body to create a new version, White Vision. Whew — a lot happened, y’all. Anyway, White Vision turned up in WandaVision briefly, so we know he’s still out there somewhere. The new Vision series will pick up with White Vision exploring “his new purpose in life.” (And we really hope this means we’ll see Wanda again.)

©Marvel

Disney has confirmed that Paul Bettany will return to the role, with the new series being directed by Terry Matalas as showrunner. Matalas was most recently executive producer on Star Trek: Picard. Matalas received a WGA Award nomination for the third season of that series. So it certainly seems that the new Vision series is in good hands.

©Marvel

Interestingly enough, a Vision series was in development with WandaVision‘s Jac Schaeffer, but Schaeffer’s attention soon turned to the first WandaVision spin-off series, Agatha All Along, which will premiere on Disney+ on September 18th. This will be the first live-action Marvel series picked up by Disney+ in over two years, which shows that Disney has made a shift in how it creates new Marvel television shows. Disney is focusing on a more traditional approach to how it makes these shows, as well as limiting them to around just two per year.

Disney has not yet revealed any other cast that may be coming to the Vision series, but we can hold out hope for not just Wanda, but also for more Agent Woo (Randall Park) and Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings), right? Could we even see the return of Kathryn Hahn as Agatha? Or will we see White Vision reuniting with his Avengers pals (at least those who are still living) like Hawkeye, Thor, or Hulk, who are all still out there somewhere?

©Marvel

We guess we’ll have to wait and see what the future has in store for Vision. The new series is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.

We got an EXCLUSIVE look at Universal’s NEWEST land.

DreamWorks Land

While much of the focus on the Universal Orlando Resort is currently on Epic Universe, a NEW land is opening at Universal Studios Florida. Based on the films of Dreamworks Animation Studios, this new land occupies the space formerly occupied by Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone.

DreamWorks Land, which is scheduled to open to the public on June 14th, features a brand-new ride, a show, and several meet & greets and play areas dedicated to young children.

Once you first step foot into this new area, you are greeted by the most beautiful sight to ever behold: Shrek’s Swamp. The iconic ogre’s humble abode has been designed into a vast playground with four slides, a water play zone, and a slide down Shrek’s outhouse (which is kinda gross…but also very cool!). You can even visit Pinocchio where he can tell you some facts that may or may not be true (watch out for his growing nose!).

Shrek’s Cottage

There are also other interactive play areas such as King Harold’s Swamp Symphony, where each lily pad you hop on will make one of the area’s frogs sing, and Mama Luna Feline Fiesta where you get to play with the feline residents of Mama Luna’s retirement home for cats from Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish.

Shrek and Donkey meet and greet

Also in this area is Shrek’s Swamp Meet where you can meet Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey and visit the highly anticipated Swamp Snacks that made news with their Shrekzels with green cheese. The stand also sells Swamp Dogs, Far Far A Waffles, Mud Puddle Pudding, Chonkey Donkey chocolate ice pops, and Frozen Ogre sour apple ice pops. All treats are perfect for an ogre feast!

Shrekzel!

Inside DreamWorks Land is also the Trolls Village, which is as whimsical and colorful as the movies themselves. Featured in this area is an attraction called the “Trollercoaster” which is a family-friendly rollercoaster where you get to ride a Caterbus and journey through the Trolls’ forest.

The new Trollercoaster!

There is also Poppy’s Playground, which is a shaded play area for kids with lots of fun and vibrant details, including brightly colored flowers and quirky little critters.

Poppy’s Playground

The food stand in this land is called Troll Treats, which is an ice cream shop inside of a giant boom-box where you can get Poppy-licious Pink and BroZone Berry cones (try to say that 3 times fast). And if you’re looking for some unique souvenirs exclusively made for the new land, you can check out High Five Hideaway.

Troll Treats

Po’s Kung Fu Training Camp is a fun play area themed after Kung Fu Panda that brings to life The Panda Village from the movie and has tons of interactive elements. A fun inclusion is Mr. Ping’s Noodle Kaboodle which has merry-go-rounds shaped like bowls of noodles. This area is also home to ‘Po Live!’ where you can interact with Po as he teaches you some kung-fu moves and tips to cook the best stir-fry (all the things a dragon warrior needs to know).

Po’s Kung Fu Training Camp

The new land has also added a new stage show to the theatre that once housed Barney. The new stage show is called “DreamWorks Celebration,” and as the title hints, it is a musical dance party celebrating the beloved DreamWorks characters featured in the land.

DreamWorks Celebration

After getting a chance to sample DreamWorks Land, we’re confident this new land is going to become a fixture at Universal Studios Florida for years to come. Stay tuned to DFB for more Universal updates.
