With brand new 2018 itineraries going on sale May 18th, the Disney fan community is full of chatter about where their next Disney Cruise Line (DCL) vacations will take them. With that in mind, I thought I would gather together just a few things for would be cruisers to keep in mind while getting ready to book this week.

Happy Monday! We're back with another Disney news round-up and today it's all about merchandise! The Disney Pin Celebration will feature a slate of "love" pins this summer, there's a new collection of golf clubs with the Mickey Mouse logo, and much more.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is one of our favorite parks for food, second only perhaps to Epcot. While you can eat and drink your way around the World (Showcase) at Epcot, the flavors you'll encounter at the Animal Kingdom range from simple to exotic, but always delicious.

And, with the opening of Pandora - The World of Avatar on May 27, we can add "out of this world" to the list of flavor profiles.

Disney Cruise Line has announced its fall 2018 sailing itineraries, including new sailings from New York City to Bermuda and three sailings from New York City to Port Canaveral with stops at Walt Disney World and Castaway Cay.

If you're making plans to attend one of the Magic Kingdom's holiday parties this fall, we have good news! Tickets for both Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are now on sale.

Happy Thursday! We're catching up on a lot of Disney news today including the new dining options at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, a second life for American Idol on ABC, and the new exotic Magic Shots at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

When you think about the ultimate Disney snacks, you may think Turkey Legs, or Churros. But when my mind wanders to the most delicious and magical treats on my list, I go straight for the Dole Whip. This soft serve pineapple treat is the stuff of legends from coast to coast, and has achieved an almost cult-like status amongst regular Disney travelers as the must eat treat when you're passing though Adventureland.

Tomorrow, May 11, is the very last night for Wishes, the fan-favorite nighttime fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom. A new show, Happily Ever After, debuts on May 12 and if you can't make it to the park to see the show you can catch a live-stream online.

Happy Wednesday! We've made it halfway through the week! Today's news round-up features a Guardians of the Galaxy theme, with news about the film's huge debut weekend, a meet-and-greet at the Studios, and more.

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another new round-up! Today we're talking about celebrating Mother's Day at Walt Disney World, a new summer room-rate offer, and a change in bus routes at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.
