food IS a theme park
Get ready to do some shopping — there’s a Disney souvenir you may want to pick up ASAP!
Happy Halloween!
Disney has released all kinds of unique Halloween items, and some have been so popular that they’ve SOLD OUT quickly online. But if you’re looking for one particular item at a store near you, we’ve got good news!
EPCOT is still very much in a state of transformation and we’ve got some clues about just what the future might involve.
EPCOT
We’ve already shared a full walkthrough of the NEW Moana attraction (which is set to open this fall), and we’re constantly on the lookout for changes happening in World Showcase Lagoon as EPCOT prepares for its new fireworks show. But some new permits filed recently could clue us into MORE changes hitting this park.
Trying to watch ESPN or other Disney-owned channels on your TV? If you are a customer of one particular service, you might have noticed a less-than-great change recently.

Disney has been hinting at big changes potentially coming to its linear TV networks and ESPN in the future, but this latest update has had a more immediate effect on some subscribers.
If you LIVE for fall vibes and Disney, we found some items you will NOT be able to pass up.

Disney has been releasing all kinds of unique Halloween souvenirs this year, but sometimes what you really need is an item that’s both functional and stylish (so you don’t feel quite as bad when you bring it home because it can actually serve a purpose 😆). And that’s JUST what we’re about to show you.
Make way, make way — a new attraction is opening soon in EPCOT and we’ve got all kinds of details to share with you!
Moana
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is an interactive, walk-through experience that will be opening this fall in EPCOT’s World Nature. The attraction allows you to interact with “living water,” learn about the natural water cycle (and how to protect and preserve water), and features all kinds of unique character details to hunt for. But what is it REALLY like to go through this attraction? Well, we grabbed tons of videos and photos during a special Cast Member preview and now we’re taking you along with us to experience it all.
It’s finally TIME!! 🌊🌊🌊
Journey of Water Inspired by Moana
The brand-new Moana-inspired walk-through attraction — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana — is set to open in the fall of 2023. We’ve seen sneak peeks of the attraction, and some of the construction walls have come down in the area, but we FINALLY got the chance to experience it for ourselves and we’re taking YOU with us!
Lean in close — we’re about to let you in on a HUGE secret about the Orlando International Airport!
There’s a LOT to Do
You might already be planning a visit to this airport as your way to get to/from your home and Walt Disney World, but there’s a lot to do in the airport aside from stressfully walking to/from your gate and running to the restroom before your flight takes off. There are some seriously incredible restaurants here (including ones run by folks at or coming to Disney Springs!), theme park stores you won’t want to miss, and more. There’s just one problem — a bunch of that is PAST security. And you can’t get through security and into the rest of the airport without a booked flight and boarding pass right? WRONG!
CALLING ALL TANGLED FANS — get ready to book your next Disney trip!
Rapunzel
You can see Rapunzel in Disney World during the Festival of Fantasy Parade, say “hello” to her at Rapunzel’s Royal Table on the Disney Magic cruise ship, and see her in a few other spots at various Disney parks. But soon, an entire Tangled-themed area will be coming to one Disney park and it’ll even have a TANGLED RESTAURANT!
Update:Â Though heavy construction continues on the exterior of the hotel, it seems that the construction within the lobby has ended and the construction walls have been removed.
Could one of the most ICONIC holiday displays in Disney World be in danger this year?
Grand Floridian Lobby at Christmastime
The holiday season typically brings a number of unique decorations and celebrations to Disney World. At EPCOT, 2023 will bring the return of the International Festival of the Holidays. This year, we’ll also see the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the start of the NEW Disney Jollywood Nights party. The holiday fun extends beyond the parks with decor, snacks, and more at Disney Springs and Disney’s hotels. But we’re very worried about one particularly iconic holiday display this year…
Disney World has some absolutely incredible hotels — we’re not denying that — but the hotels at the Most Magical Place on Earth also have a FATAL FLAW.
Grand Floridian Lobby
No, it’s not the over-the-top Disney theming at some spots (which might not appeal to older adults) or the lack of Disney theming at other places (which might not appeal to kiddos). And it’s not even the current lack of room service at most of the hotels (though that is something to consider before booking). Nope, Disney World’s hotels have a different fatal flaw and it’s something you’ll need to know about before booking.
