Jollywood Nights
Spending part of the holiday season at Disney World has become a major tradition for many visitors. Whether it’s attending a special event like the Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, taking a trip ”around the world” at EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, or simply soaking in the ambiance of the parks on a Holiday. However, if you have a Disney ticket type or Annual Pass that requires a reservation and you’re hoping to spend some time at the resort this season, you should probably make a reservation soon!
If there’s one thing we love about Disney World, it’s the FOOD! We are Disney Food Blog, after all.

What’s your airport pet peeve?
Orlando International Airport
Traveling through the airport can be incredibly stressful, but it can be made even more so when things go wrong. We’ve experienced everything from problems at security to delayed flights to heavy crowds. But one thing that probably grinds everyone’s gears? Line cutters!
Universal Orlando is making some serious changes!
Universal Orlando
Not only did they just open the brand new Dreamworks Land, but there’s a little tiny theme park called Epic Universe that’s opening in May 2025. Okay, we’re kidding — Epic Universe is going to be, well, EPIC! But it looks like Universal isn’t just focused on the new hotness, and instead is also giving some TLC to the old and busted.
That was unexpected.

Packing the right shoes is one of the under-the-radar most important things one can do when preparing for a Walt Disney World trip, as keeping one’s feet in good shape can be the difference between an enjoyable trip and one full of near-crippling pain.
