Whether you're celebrating a special moment or making memories, there are custom treasures that are the perfect way to bring a little Disney magic home with you.

🎀 Personalized Mickey Ears: Add your name or a special date to your favorite pair of Mickey or Minnie ears, and make them uniquely yours! From glittery bows to character-inspired designs, you’ll always have a magical reminder of your time at Disney. 🧢✨

🎉Celebration Buttons: Whether it’s your birthday, anniversary, or even your very first visit, wearing a celebration button adds a little extra magic to your day! Now you can have these beautifully customized to remember your celebration!

🎄 Custom Ornaments: Get into the holiday spirit with personalized ornaments! Have your name, a special message, or even a favorite character added to a beautiful Disney-themed ornament that will make your tree sparkle year after year. 🎅🏼🎁
We get a new personalized ornament every trip and our favourite tradition with our kids is to bring back their own ornament and have the year of our current trip added.
By the time they're adults there's no telling how many of these ornaments they will have collected.

It's so much fun to look back at our "Disney Tree" and reminisce about all of the family memories we've created at the Most Magical Place on Earth.

Do you have a favourite vacation Christmas ornament?

But don’t skip out on the thick milkshakes! Perfect for cooling off, each shake is blended with Ghirardelli’s premium chocolate and ice cream. 🥤🍫

boo to you and you and you and you and you. 👻
Happy Halloween. 🎃

One the highlights of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is definitely the infamous Boo to You Parade! 🥳

This parade plays twice nightly, and my recommendation is if you can - wait for the second run of the night because it will be less crowded!

This parade features tons of your favorite Disney characters, Disney villains, talented dancers, fun costumes and is led by the headless horseman! 🐴

‼️ Breaking News

Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort have just announced they will be piloting a new service called Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which provides expedited entry to the theme park attractions.

⚡️What is it?
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a premium offering that will allow guests one-time entry at each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day, and includes attractions currently offered as part of the Lightning Lane Single Pass and Multi Pass. Where this pass differs is that guests are not required to select a time to experience the attraction of their choosing, you simply visit the attraction and enter through the Lightning Lane entrance.
Quantities for Lightning Lane Premier Pass are very limited and price will vary based on the date and theme park chosen.

❓How does it work?
🎡At Disneyland Resort, Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Guests can purchase it starting at two days in advance of their scheduled theme park reservation for use at both theme parks, starting October 23, 2024

🏰At Walt Disney World, Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available starting October 30, 2024 and is for guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts only. It can be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay and will only be valid for use in one theme park per day.
