Shine Bright With The New Pastel Lavender Iridescent Minnie Ears at Disney World!
Get ready to drench your park style in a dreamily reflective cloud of pure pastel magic! The new Pastel Lavender Iridescent Sequin Minnie Ears have officially made their shimmering debut at Walt Disney World, and they are an instant classic for anyone looking to level up their castle selfie game.
What makes this pair a total standout is the jaw dropping multi chrome effect. Instead of sticking to one flat color, the padded ears are packed with thousands of special translucent sequins that catch the Florida sunshine to reveal a shifting gradient of soft lavender, ice blue, and baby pink. Sitting front and center is an oversized matching bow heavily saturated in that same gorgeous, sparkly material, giving the whole piece a perfectly balanced, airy aesthetic.
Whether you’re strolling through the savanna at Animal Kingdom or waiting for the fireworks at Magic Kingdom, these beauties add a major pop of whimsical glamour to any outfit. They are currently retailing for $36.99 at select merchandise spots across the Disney World resorts. If you love all things pastel and sparkly, you’ll definitely want to track these down on your next trip!
We’re Dying Over the New Haunted Mansion Collection Launching at the Disney Store
Calling all foolish mortals and grim grinning ghosts! It is officially time to start practicing your best evil laugh because spooky season is materializing early. A brand new, delightfully eerie Haunted Mansion Collection is set to drop online at DisneyStore.com on July 6, 2026. The best part? You don’t even need to produce a death certificate to secure these frightful finds. Just sit back, enjoy the hype, and take a look at some of the most anticipated pieces from this hauntingly good drop.
If you like to dress your best in this life or the afterlife, the apparel lineup is packed with ghoulish styles. Adults can opt for the classic Haunted Mansion Gargoyle T-Shirt or a Madame Leota “Send Us a Message from Somewhere Beyond” tee. If cozy-creepy is more your vibe, you can even twin with your little ones. Disney is dropping matching women’s and kids’ cardigans covered in an allover print of the attraction’s iconic purple wallpaper. For a long night of haunting or just binging spooky movies, you can also lounge in the matching Wallpaper Pajama Set or lounge pants.
Of course, no ghost host would ever come out to socialize without the proper accessories. To carry all your mortal belongings, you can choose between a spacious Haunted Mansion Tote, a stylized Hatbox Ghost Sling Bag, or the incredibly detailed Ghost Host Butler Loungefly Mini Backpack.
To top off the whole look, there is also a Haunted Mansion Holiday Baseball Cap, which is an absolute must have for anyone counting down the days until the ride’s seasonal overlay returns.
You can also give your own home sweet home a macabre makeover with the collection’s new decor items. The standout centerpiece is a fully sculpted Mickey Mouse and Phineas in a Doom Buggy Light-Up Mini Figure, alongside a fresh assortment of character ornaments.
To keep the eerie glow going, new light-up figures of Constance Hatchaway and the Three Gentlemen are joining the previously released Dynamite Gentleman and Sarah “Sally” Slater figures. Plus, if you missed out on the popular Hitchhiking Ghosts in Doom Buggy Light-Up Figure last year, you’re in luck because it is officially making a chilling comeback.
Finally, plush and toy collectors have plenty to look forward to. Disney is dropping a bizarrely adorable four-piece set that reimagines the mansion’s famous residents as collectible rubber ducks. If you prefer something softer to squeeze when things go bump in the night, keep an eye out for the cuddly Sarah “Sally” Slater plush or the Disney Store exclusive Squishmallows set featuring the iconic Hitchhiking Ghosts trio: Ezra, Phineas, and Gus.
Make sure to keep refreshing the Disney Store Halloween page for the latest updates, and get your wallets ready for the official launch on July 6!

New Construction Permit Filed for EPCOT Entrance Toll Plaza
More work could soon be underway at EPCOT, as Walt Disney World has filed a new construction permit for the park’s entrance toll plaza, hinting that additional improvements may be on the way for guests arriving by car.
The newly filed permit, which is valid through June 29, 2027, lists Gulfcoast Utility Constructors as the contractor. According to the company’s website, it specializes in underground utility work, including wet and dry utility installation, fire protection systems, site and civil work, maintenance, and utility repairs. While the permit doesn’t reveal exactly what will be changing, the contractor’s expertise suggests the work may involve infrastructure rather than visible cosmetic updates.
The filing comes after several recent changes to the EPCOT entrance area. Earlier this year, Disney restored the iconic “Welcome” sign at the toll plaza following previous construction work. More recently, new road dividers were installed at the parking entrance to help improve traffic flow. It’s currently unclear whether this latest permit is connected to those ongoing enhancements or if it signals an entirely new phase of work.
As with many Walt Disney World construction permits, guests likely won’t notice immediate changes, but it’s another sign that Disney continues investing in infrastructure across the resort. We’ll be keeping an eye on the project and will share updates as more details become available. And when you’re ready to plan your next EPCOT adventure, be sure to contact our friends at Get Away Today. They’ll help you build the perfect Walt Disney World vacation from the moment you roll through the toll plaza!
Yachtsman Steakhouse Set to Reopen at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort This August
Steak lovers, your wait is almost over! After several months behind construction walls, Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort appears ready to welcome guests once again. While Walt Disney World has not officially announced a reopening date, the Disney dining reservation system is now accepting reservations beginning August 28, 2026, strongly suggesting that’s when the signature restaurant will reopen.
Yachtsman Steakhouse closed on May 11 for a planned refurbishment, with Disney only saying it would return sometime in August. So far, Disney has remained quiet on exactly what has changed inside the beloved restaurant. No details have been released regarding updates to the dining room, décor, or menu, leaving fans eager to see what’s new when the doors reopen.
Known for its premium steaks, fresh seafood, and upscale atmosphere inspired by New England yacht clubs, Yachtsman Steakhouse has long been a favorite among Walt Disney World foodies. The reopening also marks another milestone in the ongoing refresh of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, following the reopening of Crew’s Cup Lounge earlier this spring after its own refurbishment.
If you’re planning a late summer or early fall Walt Disney World vacation and have been hoping to enjoy dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse, now is the time to make those reservations before they disappear. And when you’re ready to plan your next delicious Disney getaway, be sure to contact our friends at Get Away Today. They can help you chart the perfect course for your Walt Disney World vacation!

It’s a delicious way to enjoy an unforgettable evening while giving back to an incredible organization.

Another Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Date Sells Out at Magic Kingdom
If you’re planning to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, it may be time to lock in your tickets sooner rather than later. Walt Disney World has officially sold out a second party date, showing that demand for the fan-favorite after-hours event continues to grow well ahead of Halloween season.
The August 14 party has now joined Halloween night, October 31, as officially sold out. August 14 was one of the most affordable party dates on the calendar, priced at $119, making it a popular choice for guests looking to experience the event without paying peak-season prices. At this point, August 11 remains the only party date still available at the lowest starting price of $119.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off on August 7 and returns on select nights through the end of October. Ticket prices range from $119 on select August dates all the way up to $229 for the final two parties on October 30 and Halloween night. Guests attending the separately ticketed event can look forward to favorites like Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks, trick-or-treat locations throughout Magic Kingdom, exclusive character meet-and-greets, themed entertainment, specialty food and beverages, and shorter wait times for many attractions.
If history is any indication, more dates are likely to sell out as fall approaches. Last year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party completely sold out before the end of September, so guests hoping to attend this year’s event should consider purchasing tickets sooner rather than waiting. And when you’re ready to plan your spooky Walt Disney World vacation, be sure to contact our friends at Get Away Today. They’ll help you conjure up a frightfully fun getaway!

The variety of games means there’s something for everyone, whether you enjoy physical challenges, brain teasers, or a little friendly competition. One thing you definitely should not overlook is the food. From award-winning Detroit-style pizza and wagyu burgers to creative appetizers and handcrafted cocktails, the dining menu was every bit as impressive as the games themselves. Trust us, come hungry!
Tickets start at $29.99 per player for either 90 or 150 minutes of gameplay, with a Premium Pass available for expedited check-in and exclusive perks.
