Port Canaveral Parking Just Got More Expensive for Cruise Passengers

Effective October 1, 2025, Port Canaveral officially raised the daily rate for cruise parking at its terminals. This marks the first price hike for cruise parking at Port Canaveral since 2017, and the generated revenue is intended to fund necessary infrastructure upgrades due to booming passenger traffic.

Port Canaveral is a premier port for major cruise lines, and is an especially popular departure point for Disney Cruise Line.

Currently, Disney Cruise Line sailings from Port Canaveral offer a variety of itineraries, including Bahamian cruises on the Disney Wish, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Magic. These cruises frequently feature stops at Disney’s private island destinations like Castaway Cay or the newest destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

For a truly magical experience, guests can book special themed voyages, such as Halloween on the High Seas or Very Merrytime cruises. Additionally, a special Disney Visa Cardmember offer may be available for select fall 2025 sailings.

The increase was first proposed during a commissioner’s meeting on August 20, 2025, and officially went into effect at the start of October 2025.

The previous daily cruise parking rate was $17 per vehicle. With the new changes, the rate has been raised to $20 per day (plus tax). This rate applies to both vehicles and RVs and includes the days of both embarkation and debarkation. For context, a typical 3-night cruise will now incur a parking fee of $80 plus tax (for four total days of parking).

Port officials, as reported by WFTV 9, cited record passenger volume as the direct reason for the price hike. The port has already processed 8.4 million passengers this year and expects that number to climb to 9 million next year, necessitating the increase to fund necessary infrastructure improvements and handle the booming traffic.

First up, the dynamic duo of mischief, Chip ‘n’ Dale, are back and looking sweeter than ever in their strawberry costumes! For $24.99, you can snag Chip, who is rocking a classic, bright-red strawberry look complete with yellow seeds and a collar of green leaves.

Meanwhile, Dale is giving us a lighter, softer vibe in a light-pink strawberry outfit with contrasting red seeds and a matching leaf collar. He’s also sporting those little blush spots, making the pair a perfectly precious, color-coordinated set.

And because Disney knows we love to accessorize, there are matching bag charms available for both of these nutty little berries!

Minnie and Marie: Pretty in Pink (and Berries!)

But the fun doesn’t stop with the chipmunks! The ladies of Disney are getting in on the strawberry goodness, too. Minnie Mouse is absolutely serene and stylish for $24.99. She’s swapped her classic polka dots for a gorgeous pink dress and bow printed with strawberries. She even has a cute little matching bow on the back of her dress! Her shiny pink satin shoes are the perfect touch, but the real charm is how she holds a pair of strawberries, one classic red and one pink—with her eyes gently closed in a picture of pure bliss. You can even grab a bag charm of this strawberry queen!

And if you’re a fan of The Aristocats, Marie has never looked more darling. This little kitten is seriously committed to her strawberry aesthetic for $24.99. She’s rocking a trio of bows: a ribbon on the front with a pink plush strawberry charm, a puffy pink bow with the same strawberry print as Minnie’s dress, and a matching bow tied right around the little tuft of fur on top of her head. It’s a bow-stacking masterpiece! Just like the others, she has a bag charm so you can take her purr-fectly sweet style with you on all your adventures.

Mr. Potato Head Returns to Disney Springs — But Buzz Lightyear Is Missing

Mr. Potato Head is back at Disney Springs, but it looks like he’s flying solo this time. The beloved statue has been restored to his classic spot outside Once Upon a Toy, freshly cleaned and gleaming atop his giant Play-Doh can. However, his usual companion, Buzz Lightyear, has been removed from the opposite side of the entrance.

In Buzz’s place, guests will now find a set of decorative flower pots, adding a bit of greenery where the Space Ranger once stood. While there’s no official word yet on whether Buzz is being refurbished or permanently retired, many fans are hopeful that he’ll make a triumphant return soon to rejoin Mr. Potato Head in welcoming shoppers.

The Mr. Potato Head figure, which was removed in July for maintenance, looks better than ever after a likely repaint and cleaning. A few small details remain unfinished — including a missing bolt on the back of his Play-Doh base — but overall, he’s back to being a top-tier photo op for visitors strolling through the Marketplace.

Even though Epic Universe just opened earlier this year, Universal is already looking to the future — and thanks to stunning new aerial photos by @bioreconstruct on X, we now have a clear view of the park’s two massive expansion pads that hint at what could be next for this already groundbreaking destination.

In the first image, we can see the large cleared area just beyond the dome-topped buildings and lush gardens of Celestial Park, the heart of Epic Universe. This site sits behind the park’s hub and across from the lagoon area, perfectly positioned for a potential future addition to the central park district. While it’s currently bare, the location offers plenty of room for expansion.

The second aerial shows the larger of the two pads, located between Super Nintendo World and Dark Universe. This stretch of land is already serviced by backstage roads and utilities, making it prime real estate for a future “world.” Fans have been quick to point out that the massive Chronos Tower entrance gate at the front of Epic Universe includes two empty circles among its land medallions. These blank spots line up symbolically (and geographically) with the two expansion areas seen in @bioreconstruct’s photos.

So what could fill these spaces someday? Rumors have swirled about a Legend of Zelda-themed expansion to Super Nintendo World, which would make perfect sense given its proximity. Others have suggested that the opposite pad could be home to a “Wicked”-themed land, especially with Universal Pictures’ major two-part film adaptation arriving in theaters in 2025 and 2026.

From Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to Tokyo Disney Resort, Shanghai Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort, and finally Disneyland Resort, Garrett Hilbert and Sparky (host of Dude Perfect Gaming) captured their experiences at each of the 12 Disney theme parks worldwide. Along the way, they were greeted by Disney friends, joined their fellow dudes (Cody, Coby, Tyler, Cory) at Walt Disney World for fireworks in front of Cinderella Castle, and wrapped the journey at Disneyland Resort—just in time to mark its 70th anniversary during the Happiest Celebration on Earth. 

This was a major milestone done the way only Dude Perfect could—combining their signature brand of fun with Disney’s legacy to turn a record-breaking adventure into a global cultural moment shared by two of the biggest names in family entertainment. “Working with Disney on something this ambitious was a surreal full-circle moment,” says Garrett Hilbert, one of the five members of Dude Perfect. “We’ve both built communities around fun, imagination, and creating experiences families can share, so getting to bring those worlds together in true Dude Perfect fashion made it all the more special.”

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro Rumored to Replace Bob Iger as CEO

Next in Line? Disney Experiences Head Josh D’Amaro Emerges as Frontrunner for CEO

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro remains the top candidate to succeed CEO Bob Iger, according to a recent report from Bloomberg.

Related – Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro Reflect on 70 Years of Disneyland

att hG phAscpLaksDBbDiWTtGLwuupoBthDLs

A new report from Bloomberg suggests the internal search for Bob Iger’s successor as Disney CEO is rapidly narrowing.

Earlier this year, the competition was believed to be among four high-level executives: Josh D’Amaro (Chairman of Disney Experiences), Dana Walden (Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment), Alan Bergman (Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment), and Jimmy Pitaro (Chairman of ESPN and Sports Content). D’Amaro had already been reported to be in the “pole position” among this group.

However, the field has since become smaller. Pitaro has reportedly indicated he is no longer interested in the role, and in its latest update, Bloomberg describes the contest as a “two-horse race” primarily between D’Amaro and Walden, with Bergman now viewed as a “long shot.”

Despite the official succession process being ongoing, Bloomberg reports that Josh D’Amaro remains the most likely outcome. The article highlights a moment where CEO Bob Iger reportedly “bristled” after a dining partner suggested D’Amaro “will do a great job when he’s appointed CEO.” This incident underscores a key finding: a “growing consensus” among many Disney executives, former executives, and industry leaders who now believe D’Amaro “will succeed Iger” when the new CEO is named early next year.

att TCHqzieSHvpcYUWSaJxggdvXrzaYo

Josh D’Amaro remains a leading candidate for the CEO role largely because his division, Disney Experiences, is the company’s biggest moneymaker. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the division’s profit reached $8.12 billion, which is one-third more than Disney’s combined earnings from TV, film, streaming, and sports operations. D’Amaro’s purview is also driving future growth, as it includes the upcoming Disney theme park in Abu Dhabi and the company’s significant $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games (creators of Fortnite).

Josh D’Amaro is also favored for his deep “understanding of Disney’s culture,” having been with the company for decades—a contrast to Dana Walden, who joined in 2019 following the Fox acquisition. Internally, D’Amaro is gaining momentum: attendees described his vision for the company’s future, presented alongside the other three divisional leaders, as “especially inspiring.”

The search for Iger’s replacement is being led by Morgan Stanley Chairman James P. Gorman, who was later elected Chairman of Disney’s Board. Disney plans to officially announce the successor in early 2026, allowing for a smooth, year-long transition period before Bob Iger’s contract concludes in December of that year.

Even if you don’t snag the Grand Prize, those first-prize tickets with a hotel night make for a killer HHN weeknight escape. Plan a leave-early Friday or a midweek shriek to stretch the value.
