Released this week at Epcot just ahead of the park’s 35th Birthday on October 1st, there are Epcot 35 Alex and Ani bracelets for sale:
The bracelets retail for $39.95 each and come in either gold or silver. They are available currently at the jewelry counter at MouseGear only.
Move over Groot bread, there’s a new specialty bread treat at Disney California Adventure and it’s Vampire Mater!
Made especially for the Cars Land Haul-O-Ween celebration going on through October 31st, the cheesy-sourdough bread is available for $8.49 at Fillmore’s Taste-In. Quantities every day are limited, so be sure to head over early!
Most importantly (in this day and age), it takes a great picture for social media, since that matters.
Don’t let my long fingers fool you, it’s quite large, and if I didn’t hold it that way, the wings would fall off due to their weight.
If you’ve had any of the other sourdough bread items at the park, you know how good they are, and this one is no exception. So don’t hesitate, fly on over to DCA and get some Vampire Mater bread!

On the heels of the successful rollout at many other restaurants, Walt Disney World will expand the Mobile Order program through the MyDisneyExperience app to Sunset Boulevard eateries at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Here are the restaurants now adding the service as of September 19th:
The mobile ordering program allows guests to order at Disney counter service restaurants from their mobile devices and then pick-up the order when they are ready to eat. Check out our comprehensive review of the service to see how it works.
As of recent, guests can also mobile order Dole Whip at the Magic Kingdom. You can watch the process below:
With the Walt Disney Company taking control of Disneyland Paris, it is no secret that executives are eyeing a massive overhaul and expansion of the resort similar to projects executed at the other Disney Resorts around the world since 2007. Today, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger was spotted with Walt Disney Imagineering President Bob Weiss, Senior Creative Executive Tom Fitzgerald, and others touring Disneyland Park at the Parisian resort.

While Disney has not announced any details of an expansion plan for the resort, rumors are abundant that several MARVEL themed attractions are planned for Walt Disney Studios Paris including Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission Breakout. Several enhancements and additions should also be in the works for Disneyland Park as well, but it could be some time until we get any sort of an update on any of this.
The Epcot International Festival of the Arts will return in January 2018, now available daily to guests rather than just on weekends.
New for 2018, the Festival will remain open 7 days a week, with various entertainment offerings planned on just the weekends. The event will take place January 12 to February 19, 2018.
For an overview of the entire event (so you can start planning for 2018), please check out our exhaustive review and guide.
Since even before Hurricane Irma struck, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground at the Walt Disney World Resort has been closed for the safety of guests and then for the clean up of the area. Despite many “fake news” articles claiming it would remain closed, Fort Wilderness and many of its offerings have reopened today, Wednesday, September 20th, 2017.
While Disney was trying to get the resort back open for Monday, the tree damage was far more extensive than they had originally estimated. Regardless, guests may now return to the resort for reservations, dining, and recreation.
Families dining at Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion at Epcot can now enjoy complimentary henna tattoos for children ages 12 and under. Children must order a meal to take advantage of this offer.
Restaurant Marrakesh offers Moroccan delicacies such as roast lamb, shish kebab, couscous, and brochette of chicken. Additionally, belly dancers and live music continue to entertain Guests each evening.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you undoubtedly know about the phenomenon that is the Rose Gold Mouse Ear Headband.
Since their initial release, the Headband has been selling fast at both the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts. Guests who actually do own the ears and wear them to the parks are often accosted for information on where to find the item, and sometimes are even propositioned to sell them by other guests. Needless to say, they are also selling for quite a bit on the secondary market.
Anyway, we here at WDWNT.com did manage to find a pair and we’re giving them away! Here’s how to enter and win:

You don’t have to travel to the far reaches of the galaxy for a glimpse of “Thor: Ragnarok,” for beginning October 6, guests visiting Disneyland Resort will be able to catch a preview of scenes from the film in a sneak peek planned for Disney California Adventure park. The preview of “Thor: Ragnarok” will be presented in 3D with special in-theater effects at the Sunset Showcase Theater in Hollywood Land, where you’ll also be able to lay eyes on a display of props and costumes used in the production of the film.
In “Thor: Ragnarok,” Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok – the destruction of his home world and the end of Asgardian civilization – at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger – the Incredible Hulk!
Plan to catch the limited sneak peek of “Thor: Ragnarok” when it opens October 6, and brace yourselves as Thor thunders into theaters in 3D on November 3, 2017!
