food IS a theme park
Every once in a while, a piece of Disney merchandise comes along that really WOWS us.
SO many mugs
Maybe it’s a good wow, maybe it’s a bad wow — who’s to say until the moment strikes? Well, friends, the moment has struck because we are certainly wowed by this new pair of Disney Crocs coming soon, but we’ll leave it up to you to decide whether it’s a good wow or bad wow.
It’s officially time! The EPCOT Festival of the Arts has kicked off, and we are here LIVE showing you everything there is to see, do, and eat!
2025 Festival of the Arts
But…what about merchandise? It’s not an EPCOT Festival without all kinds of merchandise, and today we’re taking a look at what you’ll find at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
We are HUGE fans of the Haunted Mansion, and yes, we LOVE the OG Haunted Mansion in Disneyland.
Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion
Now, this version of Haunted Mansion recently got a bit of an update with a completely new queue area that is SO cool. It also got a new gift shop called Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond (and, well, we’re still not sure how we feel about that gift shop). Now, though a new Haunted Mansion souvenir has dropped and if you love Haunted Mansion as much as we do, you’re going to want to grab it!
It’s almost time — are you ready? We’re talking about the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which starts SOON!
2024 Festival of the Arts
The festival will run from January 17th through February 24th and will bring a whole artsy vibe to ALL of EPCOT. There will be lots of unique food served at the festival’s many food booths, a Disney on Broadway concert series, chalk art, art performances, and SO much more. However, you might want to know a little bit more about some of the souvenirs you’ll be able to bring home from the festival, so let’s talk about the most IMPORTANT merchandise of this festival: the art!
Okay, where are our Disney World popcorn bucket collectors?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We know, we know, collecting popcorn buckets is a THING, and well, we get it — Disney releases some pretty cool ones. That Elf Mickey Popcorn Bucket from Christmas? That thing was FIRE. The new Figment Popcorn Bucket coming to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts? WE NEED IT. Well, there’s one popular Disney World popcorn bucket that is actually BACK in Disney World — so if you didn’t get it the first time around, here’s your chance.
Are there any Disney souvenirs that you collect?
Disney World has TONS of souvenir options!
Coffee mugs, Mickey and Minnie ears, Spirit Jerseys, and keychains are some popular items that people collect from their trips to Disney World, but there are SO many more options. There are popcorn buckets, home decor, all kinds of toys, magnets, Loungefly backpacks, and so much more. Over the years, the options have varied, and some items Disney has stopped producing altogether, which can be pretty sad for anyone collecting those items. Unfortunately, we’ve noticed one item has started disappearing from the parks and other Disney stores recently.
Sure, we love shopping for Disney souvenirs online or while we’re in the parks, but sometimes those costs can add up pretty quickly!
ALDI
That’s why we’re always on the hunt for the best deals we can find on Disney essentials and merchandise — whether online or at a store near you. Lately, ALDI has been one of our favorite places to look for all sorts of park supplies, Disney souvenirs, and yes — even Disney snacks! Let’s take a look at what’s coming soon.
Ahoy mateys! We’re aboard the NEW Disney Treasure cruise ship bringing you all the ship details you could possibly want!

The latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Treasure is set to make its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024, but we were invited to set sail a bit early aboard the new vessel! Sure, there are lots of incredible restaurants, bars, entertainment, and more — but if you ask us, the best parts of the Disney Treasure are all the exclusive souvenir mugs!
Get your wallets ready!
Magic Kingdom
It’s no secret that souvenirs are a major part of any trip to Disney World. From classics like ear hats and plushies to new clothing designs and an ever-evolving lineup of pins and collectibles, there’s usually something for every taste available at the resort. Recently, Disney released a look at some of the NEW merchandise coming to the parks in 2025.
Disney knows how to do merchandise, but the company really goes ALL out for the holiday season.
Christmas Season at Magic Kingdom
Now, we have so much festive gear to buy, including EPCOT Festival of the Holiday merchandise, as well as general Disney holiday merchandise. Give us everything Mickey Mouse in red and green, y’all! However, this is the time of year when Disney goes ALL out on popcorn buckets, too. Now, there’s been one popcorn bucket that’s only been available in Disneyland, but now, it’s available in Disney World, too — and you’re going to want it!
