Get Ready to Blast Off with New Elio Merch at Hollywood Studios!

Hey space cadets! If you’re as excited as we are for Disney and Pixar’s Elio, then you’ll be thrilled to hear that Hollywood Studios is already stocked with some out-of-this-world merchandise! We just spotted a ton of new gear inspired by Elio, Glordon, and all their alien adventures, and trust us, you’re going to want to get your hands on it.

Gear Up Like Elio!

First up, let’s talk apparel because who doesn’t want to dress like their favorite alien-abducted kid? The Elio Youth Hoodie for $44.99 is seriously cool. It looks just like Elio’s homemade space gear, complete with a diagonal gray stripe and awesome cape details made from what looks like soda can tabs and cutlery. How creative is that?! Plus, it has side pockets and a Velcro removable blue cape on the back decorated with soda rings and confetti dots. You can literally be Elio!

And for something a bit lighter, there’s the Elio Youth T-Shirt for $26.99. It’s black, but it pops with a neon all-over print featuring Elio, Glordon, and other alien pals in vibrant pink and blue. You’ll definitely stand out in the crowd!

But wait, there’s more! Get ready to channel your inner alien with the Mesh Baseball Cap for $24.99, inspired by none other than Glordon! This hat is wild with a green front panel featuring an embroidered mouth and teeth (yes, teeth!). The brim is a light purple, and it even has felt antennae sticking out and padded purple ears on top. The back half is purple mesh with embroidered blue and beige spots, and it has an adjustable strap for the perfect fit. Seriously, it’s like wearing Glordon on your head, in the best way possible!

Cuddle Up with Your Alien Buddies!

No new movie merch drop is complete without plush toys, right? You can grab your very own Elio Plush for $24.99. He’s got a big smile, his signature gray sash, and that cool decorated cape with embroidered details. Perfect for snuggles or recreating your favorite scenes! And then there’s the Talking Glordon Plush for $34.99. This guy is a green and purple worm-like alien with no eyes and a huge mouth, plus lots of legs and antennae. Even better, he talks! Thanks to a battery pack hidden in a Velcro pouch, you can hear phrases from Elio’s new alien friend, voiced by Remy Edgerly.

More Galactic Goodies!

Beyond the clothes and cuddly creatures, there are a couple of other cool items to check out. Stay hydrated on your galactic adventures with the Water Bottle for $24.99. It features Elio and Glordon against a super cool space-themed purple design on a black background, with a purple-pink silicone ring and twist-off cap. And if you’re already thinking about the holidays, grab the Elio Ornament. It shows Elio and Glordon together in what looks like a canoe-like structure, a perfect memento of their journey!

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to Hollywood Studios and grab your Elio merch before it blasts off! What are you most excited to get your hands on?

This Stitch 2-in-1 Plush Blanket is Out of This World!

So, picture this: we’re strolling through Hollywood Studios, soaking up all the magic, and then we spotted something that instantly screamed “ohana.” We’re talking about the Stitch 2-in-1 Plush Blanket, and let me tell you, it’s seriously out of this world.

This isn’t just any blanket; it’s a game-changer for those moments when playtime seamlessly transitions into snuggle time. You know how it is, one minute your little one is having an epic adventure, and the next they’re ready to cozy up. That’s where this Stitch blanket pillow swoops in to save the day.

Here’s the genius part: this super huggable Stitch pillow isn’t just for show. Give that adorable alien a quick unzip, and out pops a super soft blanket featuring an all-over Stitch pattern. It’s absolutely perfect for everything from storytime to movie night to those much needed naps. And when the snuggles are over, the blanket magically tucks right back inside the pillow cover, transforming back into a squishable, huggable plush.

Seriously, your little one (or you, no judgment!) can hug this Stitch anytime, anywhere. It’s the ultimate blend of comfort and cuteness, and we knew immediately it needed to be part of our ohana.

‘JASON UN1V3RSE’ House Announced for Halloween Horror Nights 2025

Jason Is Back! “Jason Universe” Slashes Its Way into Halloween Horror Nights 2025

It’s Friday the 13th, and you know what that means—bad luck for camp counselors and great news for horror fans! Universal just dropped the machete on its second officially confirmed haunted house for Halloween Horror Nights 2025: Jason Universe. That’s right, the hockey-masked menace himself is returning in a brand-new all-original house that promises to make Camp Crystal Lake your personal nightmare.

This marks the second IP-based house announced for this year’s lineup (following Fallout), and it’s slicing its way into both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. And while we think a Five Nights at Freddy’s experience is coming, Universal’s been tight-lipped about whether that’ll be a full-on house or something else. So for now, “Jason Universe” takes the spotlight—and we’re not talking flashlight beams in the woods.

Welcome to Camp Blood

In Jason Universe, guests will venture back to the cursed summer camp that birthed one of horror’s most iconic slashers. Expect a blood-soaked trip through the creaky cabin Jason calls home, a crumbling main lodge, and an ominous forest that doesn’t believe in exits. The haunt is packed with infamous kills and unforgettable moments from Jason’s reign of terror—and you never know where (or when) he’ll strike next.

After 45 years of slashing through the pop culture zeitgeist, Jason is getting the Halloween Horror Nights treatment—and it’s shaping up to be pure nightmare fuel.

What We Know So Far

If Universal Orlando follows its usual pattern of 10 haunted houses (typically 5 based on IP and 5 original), we now have 2 confirmed IP houses (Fallout and Jason Universe), with Five Nights at Freddy’s likely making it 3. That leaves 2 more IP houses and 5 original concepts still under wraps. Translation? The fog is thick with possibilities.

Tickets, Merch, and Must-Have Horror Goodies

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 runs:

Universal Orlando: August 29 – November 2 (48 terrifying nights!)
Universal Studios Hollywood: September 4 – November 2

At both coasts, fans can grab tickets now—including Express Passes, R.I.P. Tours, and multi-night passes like Frequent Fear. Universal Orlando is even bundling in Epic Universe access with select vacation packages. Hello, scream-and-staycation!

And what’s a killer announcement without killer merch? You can already snag a Jason Universe t-shirt and camping mug in the parks, plus a puzzle piece collectible that will become part of this year’s HHN mural. Starting June 14, select items hit the online store at Shop.UniversalOrlando.com.

So sharpen your nerves (and maybe your pencils for some merch budgeting)—Jason’s coming, and he’s not alone. Stay tuned as Universal drops more screams in the coming weeks.

Six New Construction Permits Filed for the Magic Kingdom

Six New Construction Permits Filed for the Magic Kingdom

Revving Up the Magic: “Cars” Land Construction Gears Up Behind Magic Kingdom

A new set of six construction permits has been filed for a backstage area just beyond the borders of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, all pointing toward a major new expansion project—one that’s picking up serious speed. The permits, which all list the address of “1700 Floridian Way, Bay Lake, FL,” correspond to an area tucked behind Fantasyland and Frontierland. While not part of the park’s official guest-accessible footprint, this zone is crucial for construction staging—and may be key to the long-rumored arrival of “Cars” Land in the Magic Kingdom.

Here’s what’s included in the permit roundup:

Fire Alarm System Installation
Trailer Installations
Infrastructure Development
Electrical Work
HVAC Unit Installations
Fire Suppression Systems

What’s more telling is the cast of contractors involved: Siemens Industry, McGrath RentCorp, Specialty Plumbing, Bumgarner Electric, Awesome Aire Solutions, and International Fire Protection. With so many trades lining up to work at once, it looks like Disney is assembling the pit crew.

This latest batch mirrors a nearly identical set of permits filed in April for a different address—5055 Caribbean Way—which hugs much closer to Frontierland. That location has been speculated as a probable backstage operations base for the upcoming “Cars” expansion. With this new site farther back toward Floridian Way, it’s possible Disney is prepping two zones to support a large-scale construction effort, or they’re setting up separate bases for the “Cars” land and the more distant (but still eagerly awaited) Villains-themed land.

Shifting Into High Gear

At the recent D23 event, Disney Imagineers finally peeled back the curtain a bit more on the Frontierland “Cars” expansion. The new land is designed to complement the rustic vibe of Frontierland, with creative use of water features, terrain, and noise-masking elements to ensure Lightning McQueen and friends don’t disrupt the Old West charm. A whimsical “fun map” was released (pictured above), showing a beautifully forested mountain range and desert canyon terrain—clear nods to both Piston Peak from Planes: Fire & Rescue and Radiator Springs from Cars. A brand-new original character for the area was also teased.

And yes—it’s now official: the Rivers of America, including Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat, will close permanently after July 6, 2025, to make way for this new expansion.’

Disney Shares Backstory for Villains Land at Magic Kingdom 1

Villains Lurk in the Distance

While the “Cars” land is clearly in pole position, the Villains-themed area is also on the horizon—though at a slower pace. Disney filed a 14-acre development permit earlier this year with a March 2025 start date. Still, no physical construction seems to have begun. This new land promises a wicked lineup of Disney’s most infamous baddies including Maleficent, Hades, Ursula, Gaston, and others. But for now, they’re waiting in the wings while Lightning and Mater hog the spotlight.

The Fruit and Nutella Waffle Returns to Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom

The Beloved Fruit and Nutella Waffle Returns to Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom fans, rejoice! A year after a controversial menu change saw the beloved classic round waffles replaced by Mickey waffles at Sleepy Hollow, the original, fan-favorite waffle creations have made a triumphant return to Liberty Square. This highly anticipated comeback means guests can once again indulge in the iconic “waffle sandwiches” that have long been a staple snack at Magic Kingdom.

For many, the change to Mickey waffles was a disappointment, as the larger, round waffles were perfectly suited for holding the generous toppings that make Sleepy Hollow a must-stop. Now, the classic form factor is back, offering the perfect vessel for those delicious combinations.

The updated Sleepy Hollow menu once again features these delightful options, served on their traditional round waffles, folded in half to create those satisfying “waffle sandwiches”:

Waffle with Berries, Powdered Sugar, and Whipped Cream – $8.49
Waffle with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, Bananas, Berries, and Whipped Cream – $9.49
Waffle with Sweet-and-Spicy Maple Chicken – $12.29 (Served with Maple-Sriracha Glaze and Parsley Flakes)

The return of the Waffle with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, Bananas, Berries, and Whipped Cream is particularly exciting for many. This indulgent treat, often affectionately referred to as the “Nutella waffle,” was once a breakfast-only item but has been available all day since 2022, allowing guests to satisfy their sweet cravings at any time.

Sleepy Hollow, a charming quick-service spot, is nestled in Liberty Square, directly across from the festive Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Keep an eye out for Ichabod Crane of “Sleepy Hollow” fame in the window! Beyond the returning waffle favorites, the quick-service menu also includes plain waffles, classic funnel cakes, savory corn dogs, house-made chips, and a variety of beverages. For June 2025, guests can also enjoy the special Pride Mousse Dome ($5.99), featuring Dark Chocolate and Strawberry Mousse, Flourless Chocolate Cake, and Rainbow Glaçage.

Are you among the many who are thrilled to see the old Sleepy Hollow waffles back at Magic Kingdom?

Disneyland’s Storybook Land Canal Boats Get New Permit

Disneyland’s beloved Storybook Land Canal Boats are set to receive magical updates, with a new permit filed revealing exciting additions and a scheduled refurbishment beginning July 21st.

Fans of the charming Fantasyland attraction can anticipate new details and enhanced scenery as Disney prepares to introduce a “new 10ft max height show set element” and “two aluminum tube trellis arches.” These changes, alongside “electrical throughout attraction” work, suggest an elevated visual experience for guests cruising through miniature storybook worlds.

The permit entry specifically outlines: “DLR – Storybook Land Canal – Miscellaneous: 10 ft max height show set element with new steel column utilizing existing footing. 4 ln ft x 5 ft max retaining wall. Install (2) aluminum tube trellis arches. Electrical throughout attraction.” While the exact nature of the new 10-foot tall show element remains a delightful mystery, its inclusion promises a fresh focal point within the meticulously crafted landscapes. The addition of trellis arches also hints at new visual pathways or frames, potentially enhancing existing scenes or leading into newly imagined ones.

The Storybook Land Canal Boats, which guide guests through miniature scenes from classic Disney animated films like Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, and Frozen, are a timeless staple of Disneyland. The upcoming refurbishment, slated to begin on July 21st, will allow for these new elements to be integrated seamlessly into the attraction’s whimsical environment.

While Disneyland often conducts routine refurbishments for maintenance, the details provided in this permit suggest a more significant refresh, aimed at enhancing the storytelling and visual appeal of this cherished ride. Guests visiting Disneyland in the latter half of summer and beyond can look forward to discovering these enchanting new additions and experiencing the Storybook Land Canal Boats with renewed wonder.
