New Flower and Garden Passholder Collection Blooming at Epcot

Get your wallets ready, Annual Passholders, because the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival merch has officially sprouted! This year’s collection is full of blooming style with a heavy dose of Disney magic. Whether you’re a local regular or just visiting for the blooms, these exclusives are the perfect way to flex your AP status while wandering through World Showcase.

First up, let’s talk about the Floral Sling Backpack ($39.99). This light green beauty is covered in an all-over print featuring everything we love about the festival: gardening tools, tasty snacks, and even fireworks. It’s got two zip pockets to keep your essentials secure while you’re hunting for Spike the Bee. The best parts? There’s a super soft chenille Mickey keychain attached, “Passholder” is embroidered right on the bottom, and the adjustable strap lets you switch up your look on the fly.

If you’re looking to refresh your park wardrobe, the Passholder Adult T-Shirt ($36.99) is a total standout. The front keeps it classy with a small embroidered Mickey surrounded by tiny treats and tools, but the back is where the party’s at. You’ll find a massive printed scene of Mickey and Minnie gardening right in front of Spaceship Earth. With extra embroidered stars, flowers, and the official 2026 festival branding at the bottom, it’s basically a wearable postcard.

Pair it with the Passholder Mickey Hat ($29.99) to keep the Florida sun at bay. It features a full-body Mickey holding a flower on the front and my personal favorite detail, little seed packet appliqués on the side. It’s got that “Passholder” shoutout on the back so everyone in the Cosmic Rewind line knows you’re a pro.

Finally, for the coffee (or tea!) lovers, you have to grab the Flower Pot Mug ($24.99). This isn’t just a basic cup; it’s a stoneware masterpiece designed to look like a literal clay flowerpot. The handle is actually a garden hose wrapped around the base, how clever is that? One side features Mickey and Minnie tending to their garden, while the other side commemorates the 2026 festival with a burst of floral and firework art.

These exclusives tend to fly off the shelves at Creations Shop, so make sure you have your Passholder card ready in the app!

New Flower and Garden Alice in Wonderland Collection Is Full Of Whimsy!

If you’re ready to go down the rabbit hole at this year’s EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, you’re going to want to clear some space in your closet. The 2026 Alice in Wonderland collection has officially arrived, and it is a whimsical, pastel dream that feels like a tea party come to life. Whether you’re a die-hard Loungefly collector or just looking for the perfect grumpy Caterpillar vibe, there is something here to make every Disney fan grin like a Cheshire Cat.

First up, let’s talk about the absolute showstopper: the Alice in Wonderland Loungefly Purse ($80). This isn’t just a bag; it’s basically a piece of art. The front features massive appliqués of those iconic bread-and-butterflies, complete with buttered wings and adorable embroidery. The back is just as sweet, showing Alice hanging out with the Caterpillar and some floral friends in front of a Spaceship Earth backdrop. Plus, the dark green strap is covered in flower appliqués, so you’ll look like you’re carrying a piece of the English garden with you.

If you’re more of a headband person, the Loungefly Ear Headband ($44.99) is the perfect match. It uses a softer, pastel color palette with Alice on one ear and the Caterpillar on the other. The coolest detail? The removable purple bow actually hides Alice’s silhouette and a tiny Spaceship Earth in its butterfly design. The back of the ears even features the World Showcase skyline, making it the ultimate festival souvenir.

For those breezy Florida evenings or just lounging at home, the Crew Neck Sweatshirt ($59.99) is a must-have. It’s a gorgeous shade of green with a mix of embroidered and printed lettering on the chest. But the real star is on the back: a wonderfully grumpy Caterpillar surrounded by butterflies. It’s the perfect mood for anyone who hasn’t had their morning coffee yet.

If you prefer something a bit lighter, the Cropped T-Shirt ($36.99) comes in a trendy faded blue. It features a rocking horsefly and a bread-and-butterfly on the chest, with a massive, vibrant scene of Alice and her singing flower friends on the back. It’s breezy, cute, and pairs perfectly with high-waisted shorts for a day of eating your way around the outdoor kitchens.

Finally, for the person who wants to be curiouser and curiouser in style, there’s the Shift Dress ($49.99). This bright pink number is simple yet stunning, featuring a subtle all-over pattern of embroidered rocking horseflies and bread-and-butterflies. It’s lightweight enough for the heat but stylish enough for a nice brunch.

New Orange Bird and Spike the Bee Collections at Flower and Garden Festival!

Get your wallets ready and your SPF on, because the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival has officially sprouted some of the cutest merchandise we’ve seen in years! This year, the spotlight is shared by the iconic, ever-sweet Orange Bird and that tiny-but-mighty mischief-maker, Spike the Bee. Whether you’re a Disney style icon or a green-thumbed gardener, these two collections are bringing all the sunshine.

The Orange Bird Collection: Zest Day Ever

If you’re looking to brighten up your wardrobe, the Orange Bird collection is basically bottled sunshine. The standout has to be the Flower and Garden Spirit Jersey ($84.99); it’s a gorgeous pastel orange with our favorite bird rocking white sunnies on the front. If it gets a bit breezy near World Showcase Lagoon, you can huddle up in the light blue Windbreaker ($59.99), which features a pattern of Citrus Swirls and Orange Bird with Spaceship Earth reflected in his sunglasses, meta, right?

For a more classic look, the Fitted V-Neck T-Shirt ($36.99) keeps it classy with colorful embroidery on the front and a big Orange Bird appliqué on the back.

The accessories in this line are equally a-peel-ing. The Minnie Ear Headband ($44.99) is a botanical dream with green padded ears and a removable hedge-textured bow. If you’re a Loungefly collector, the Crate Backpack ($85) is a must-grab; it’s designed to look like a wooden citrus crate with Orange Bird and Spike peeking out from the top.

Round out your look with the Orange Baseball Cap ($29.99) or some adorable Plant Magnets ($16.99) to give your succulents some Disney flair.

Fresh Finds for the Home

Citrus Swirl Mug ($24.99): Shaped like a flower pot with a lid that looks exactly like the iconic orange-and-vanilla treat.

Trash Can Salt/Pepper Shaker ($14.99): A mini version of the EPCOT cans we all weirdly love, featuring Orange Bird and a little orange on top.

Sculpted Ornament ($26.99): Perfect for keeping the festival vibes alive on your tree later this year.

The Spike the Bee Collection: Un-bee-lievable Style

Spike the Bee is finally getting the solo shine he deserves! The crown jewel here is the Loungefly Bag Set ($75). It’s a clever two-piece set featuring a crossbody and a pouch that, when put together, looks like Spike hugging his Spaceship Earth-shaped beehive.

If you’re more of a T-shirt fan, you can choose between a pale yellow boxy tee ($36.99) featuring Spike with a glass of juice, or a blue-gray shirt ($36.99) that shows off Spike’s cool side in sunglasses.

For those who actually spend time in the dirt, the Garden Stake ($44.99) is a total win. It’s topped with a sculpted Spike so it looks like he’s personally supervising your petunias.

And because no festival is complete without a tiny companion, you can snag the Spike Shoulder Plush ($27.99) to keep you company while you hunt for the best snacks.

Just like the Orange Bird set, Spike also has his own Trash Can Salt/Pepper Shaker ($14.99), decked out in honeycomb patterns and honey trees.

Flower Pots as the prize for Spike’s Exploration and Eggs are for Eggstravaganza!

The 2026 Flower and Garden Festival is officially in full bloom, and honestly, the vibes at EPCOT are immaculate right now. Between the floral smells and the seasonal snacks, there’s a lot to take in, but if you’re looking for a little extra side quest energy, you’ve got to check out the scavenger hunts. Whether you’re a pro at spotting hidden details or just want an excuse to wander through every pavilion, both Spike’s PollenNation Exploration and the Eggstravaganza are back and better than ever.

Spike’s PollenNation Exploration

If you haven’t met Spike the Bee yet, he’s basically the unofficial mascot of springtime. In this hunt, you’re following Spike through the blooming gardens all over the park. It’s a great way to actually slow down and appreciate the horticulture (instead of just sprinting to your next Lightning Lane). Once you’ve spotted him in all his hiding spots, the payoff is seriously cute.

This year’s prize is a magical flower pot, and the designs are top-tier. You get to choose between Mickey, Figment, Orange Bird, or Spike himself. They’re the perfect size for a desk plant or just to keep as a souvenir of your flowery day.

The Eggstravaganza Scavenger Hunt

Now, if you’re a fan of the classics, the Eggstravaganza is where it’s at. This one is a limited-time deal, so you’ve got to move fast! You’ll be searching high and low through the World Showcase for oversized eggs that look like your favorite Disney characters. It’s surprisingly addictive, there’s nothing quite like the rush of spotting a giant Thumper hidden in a garden bed. It’s the ultimate way to see the pavilions through a different lens while you work up an appetite for some outdoor kitchen treats.

After you finish your map, you get to pick one of six different character eggs. The lineup this year features Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, Thumper, and the White Rabbit. They’re adorable, collectible, and, let’s be real, probably going to end up in a display case the second you get home.

Whether you’re team Flower Pot or team Character Egg, you really can’t go wrong. Just make sure to grab your maps at the Disney Traders or World Traveler shops before they sell out!

Super Cute Mickey Roses and Bows Tumbler at Hollywood Studios!

If you’re looking to add some sweet and romantic energy to your hydration game, you need to head over to Hollywood Studios ASAP. We just spotted the gorgeous Mickey Roses and Bows Tumbler, and let’s just say it’s giving major cottagecore-meets-classic-Disney vibes. It retails for $54.99, which is a bit of a splurge, but for a piece this cute? It might just be worth the extra Disney Dollars.

The design is a total dream. The base is a clean, crisp white with bold blue stripes running vertically, but the real stars are the details. It’s covered in pink bows, hearts, and the best part, roses that are strategically arranged to form Mickey heads. It’s that perfect Disney touch that isn’t too over-the-top but still feels magical.

Functionally, this thing is built to haul. It comes with a sturdy pink handle (perfect for carrying while you’re sprinting to your Slinky Dog Dash lightning lane) and a matching pink cap. To tie the whole color palette together, they’ve topped it off with a bright blue straw that pops against the pink. It’s basically the ultimate accessory for a sunny day at the parks.

Cottagecore Magic: The New Disney Springtime Collection at BoxLunch is a Total Floral Dream!

Spring is officially in the air, and if your wardrobe is feeling a little boring, BoxLunch has the perfect cure. Their new Disney Springtime Collection is a total floral dream, heavily featuring our favorite friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, along with some classic Disney icons. Whether you’re planning a trip to the parks or just want to look cute at your local bookstore, this drop is packed with gingham, lace, and plenty of “hunny.”

Carry a Bit of Sunshine

The bag selection this season is honestly elite. For the cottagecore lovers, the Winnie the Pooh Floral Gingham Handbag is a standout, featuring Pooh and Piglet tucked among embroidered flowers and a dainty satin bow. If you’re more of a bookworm, the Figural Book Crossbody is a literal work of art, shaped like a classic Pooh storybook with gold lettering. And for those long park days? You can’t go wrong with the Cherry Blossom Mini Backpack or the fuzzy Piglet & Pooh Reading bag. They even have matching wallets, because we love a coordinated moment.

Pastels Aesthetic

The apparel is where the spring vibes really kick into high gear. We’re seeing a lot of cropped silhouettes, like the Floral Strawberry Tank (complete with tassels!) and the Tigger Butterfly Ribbed Top. If you want something a bit more whimsical, the Eeyore Floral Allover Print Dress with puffed sleeves is an absolute mood.

For those breezy spring evenings, the Floral Cropped Jacket or the Aristocats Floral Cardigan featuring pointelle knit and pink ribbons, will keep you cozy without sacrificing the aesthetic.

The Bambi Floral Characters Cardigan levels up the look with charming wooden buttons and scalloped hems. or you can go for a pop of color with The Aristocats Pink Pocket T-Shirt, featuring the film’s famous kittens peeking out from the front.

For those looking to keep things breezy and classic, the collection offers several effortless Spring staples that perfectly blend comfort with a touch of elegance. The Bambi Floral Embroidered Tee sets the tone with its delicate lace trim on the sleeves, making it feel way more elevated than your average t-shirt. If you’re a fan of the classics, the Minnie Mouse Floral Lace Top offers a super feminine silhouette of Minnie’s iconic profile hidden among the blooms. And for a total heart-eyes moment, the Lady and the Tramp Embroidered Shirt adds a romantic, vintage feel to your closet that’s just begging to be worn on a sunny afternoon date.

The Finishing Touches

You can’t forget the accessories to tie it all together. The Winnie the Pooh Golden Ring Set gives you five different ways to stack your love for Pooh Bear, while the Gingham Hair Bow (featuring a metal Pooh charm!) is the ultimate finishing touch for a ponytail. If you’re feeling a bit more playful, the Tigger & Eeyore Butterfly Hair Clips use tulle appliques to make it look like butterflies are actually landing in your hair.

Cozy Up Your Cottage

Finally, BoxLunch is bringing the spring vibes indoors. You can transform your living space into a peaceful meadow with the Winnie the Pooh Floral Throw Pillow (look at those ruffles!) and the Illustrated Feather Knit Throw. Even the kitchen gets a glow-up with the Floral Kitchen Towel Set. It’s basically impossible to be in a bad mood when your home is covered in Pooh Bear and colorful wildflowers.

This whole collection is a dream! So if you are looking to add some magic and whimsy to your life, head over to Boxlunch and find your favorite products!

LEGO SMART Play x Star Wars Sets Have Officially Landed

The LEGO building experience has officially leaped into hyperspace. After months of anticipation following a spectacular debut at CES and the Nuremberg Toy Fair, the LEGO SMART Play platform is finally here. As of March 1, 2026, Star Wars fans can bring their brick-built creations to life in a way that hasn’t been possible since the minifigure was first introduced in 1978.

Powered by the revolutionary LEGO SMART Brick, these sets don’t just sit on a shelf—they respond to how you play.

The Technology Behind the Magic

At the core of this innovation is a custom-made chip smaller than a standard LEGO stud. This technology allows the “All-In-One” and “Compatible” sets to react in real-time using three main elements:

LEGO SMART Brick: The brain of the build that brings interactive responses.
LEGO SMART Tags: Triggers that unlock specific sounds and actions.
LEGO SMART Minifigures: Iconic characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker that now feature authentic lightsaber hums and dialogue.

Now Available: The First Wave of Sets

Whether you want to pilot the most famous hunk of junk in the galaxy or recreate a dramatic lightsaber duel, the launch lineup has something for every era of the Star Wars saga.

All-In-One Sets (Includes SMART Brick & Charger):

Luke’s Red Five X-Wing: Hear the roar of the engines as you take flight.
Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter: Feel the power of the Dark Side with reactive sound effects.
Throne Room Duel & A-Wing: Features “The Imperial March” theme music when Emperor Palpatine takes his seat.

Expansion & Compatible Sets:

Millennium Falcon
Mos Eisley Cantina
AT-ST Attack on Endor
Yoda’s Hut and Jedi Training
Luke’s Landspeeder

From the Las Vegas Sphere to Your Living Room

The launch journey for SMART Play has been nothing short of cinematic. In January, the LEGO Group transformed the Las Vegas Sphere into a 366-foot-tall Death Star. New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart even joined the mission, “blowing up” the orbital station via an interactive X-wing cockpit game.

Now, that same level of immersion is available at home. You can find these sets at LEGO.com, LEGO Stores, DisneyStore.com, and select retailers.

Experience it in Person

If you want to see the technology in action before you buy, select Target stores across the U.S. are hosting an immersive LEGO Star Wars SMART Play experience from March 1 through May 5.

The Force has never been more tangible in the world of LEGO. Which side of the galaxy will you build first?

ZOMBIES 5 is Officially in Development at Disney with Malachi Barton and Freya Skye

Disney Officially Greenlights ZOMBIES 5 with Malachi Barton and Freya Skye

The supernatural saga that has defined a generation is expanding! Disney Branded Television has announced that a fifth installment of the ZOMBIES franchise is a go for Disney+ and Disney Channel. Following the massive global success of ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the story is heading to the high seas—or at least the shoreline—as mermaids officially join the monster mash.

The Cast: Familiar Fangs and New Fins

Breakout stars Malachi Barton and Freya Skye are set to return as Victor and Nova, the duo that led the charge in the fourth film. They aren’t the only familiar faces returning to the fold:

The Return of Bucky: Fan-favorite Trevor Tordjman is back as the legendary cheer captain (and Addison’s cousin), Bucky!
The Rayburn Crew: Also returning are Swayam Bhatia (Vera), Julian Lerner (Ray), and Mekonnen Knife (Vargas).
The OGs: Franchise icons Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly are staying close to the magic, returning once again as executive producers.
Meet the Mermaids: Joining the cast as a mysterious trio of mermaids are Diaana Babnicova (Pearl), Taylor Oliver (Fin), and Olive Mortimer (Sandy).
A New Zombie in Town: Emily Costtrici joins the franchise as Izzy, a new transfer student who just happens to be Zed’s zombie cousin!

Picking up after the events of ZOMBIES 4, the newfound harmony between Daywalkers and Vampires in Rayburn is about to be tested. A band of “fierce mermaids” arrives on the scene, using a persuasive siren song to lure in allies and stir up trouble. It’s up to Nova and Victor to unite their groups, resist the melody, and figure out the mermaids’ true agenda before their fragile peace is washed away.

Behind the Scenes Magic

DGA Award-winner Paul Hoen, who has directed every single ZOMBIES film to date, returns to helm this fifth chapter. The creative team also includes:

Choreography: Dondraico Johnson (expect next-level dance sequences!)
Score: Tom Howe
Writers: Chris Hazzard, Michael Fontana, and Eydie Faye.

Production is slated to begin this spring in New Zealand, with an official title expected to be revealed later this year.

Are you excited for another Zombies movie?
