Ms Bishop was a landscape architect, who began her career with imagineering in 1982. Her initial project was working on Splash Mountain in Disneyland. Tune in to find out more.

New Merchandise in the Magic Kingdom

Well there always is new merchandise isn't there. However, this item caught my eye. It is a $39.99 travel tumbler with a 520ml liquid capacity. It has a pop up straw, handle but it is not dishwasher or microwave friendly.  The lettering says Magic Kingdom. Our complaint? The letter 'a' features the Orange Bird so where is this character in the parks?

Bluey-Themed Food in Disneyland

From the 22nd March 2026, Bluey and Bingo themed foods arrived in Disneyland to link with the stage show 'Bluey's Best Day Ever!'

At the Troubadour Tavern, you will find baked potatoes, all-beef hot dogs. On the sweeterside, there are proffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes), magic 'asparagus' pretzels, a pavlova parfait and a watermelon block. Drinks include a concoction from Joffreys and a lime ice block drink.
