food IS a theme park
We’ve been following along closely with the Central Florida theme parks during Hurricane Ian.
Rain from Hurricane Ian near Disney World
Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld all ceased operations temporarily due to the storm, with closures on Wednesday and Thursday. Now, the first resort from that group has extended its closure.
If you’ve ever been to the Disney parks, you’ve probably noticed the SEA of Loungefly backpacks.
SO MANY
They’re seemingly everywhere — from guests’ backs to the shelves of all the popular stores. You’ll probably see at least six different designs that you love. But if you’re the person that takes a look at the price tags and second guesses everything, then we have a solution for you!
Ahh, Amazon Prime Day, the 48 hours where we spend an excessive amount of money on the internet. But it’s all justified by the fact that we’re saving a LOT.

And if you’re a big fan of Amazon Prime Day, then you’ll be happy to know that Amazon is hosting a SECOND one this year. The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is taking place on October 11th and 12th, 2022, and we’re already getting some deals before it starts!

With the theme parks and the airport closed, both locals and visitors are hunkering down and preparing to weather the storm as it arrives in full force later on Wednesday. However, there seems to be no “calm before the storm” as tornadoes become the next threat for the area.
With things getting back to normal after the pandemic, we’ve seen a HUGE increase in travel within this year.
Orlando International Airport crowds
Airports crowds have picked back up in 2022, and we’ve seen some airports struggle to deal with the demand due to staffing shortages. Because of this, there were thousands of flight cancelations this summer. But how has that affected customer satisfaction at airports around the country? Well, the numbers are in, and some airports are ranked much higher than others.
If you’re hoping to visit EPCOT for the International Festival of the Holidays this year, we’ve received quite a few updates recently about the festival!
The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
We’ve got a list of food booths (we’ll be visiting ALL of them!), a list of entertainment options (including the holiday storytellers!), and the list of celebrities who will be narrating the Candlelight Processional. When the celebrity names were first announced, there were two spots that were left as “TBA,” but now those slots have been filled!
As Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, we’re starting to see city governments and tourist destinations take precautions.
Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom
We’ve been watching the weather closely as cities issue evacuation notices to residents and Disney World starts preparing for the possibility of severe weather hitting the theme parks. But if you’re one of the Florida residents who needs to evacuate and get to safety, we’ve got some important news for you.
Okay Disney, come on…we’re all waiting!
Fantasmic billboard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Since the parks reopened in 2020, we’ve seen the slow return of our favorite restaurants, resorts, and entertainment options all around the resort. But even now, there are still a few things we’re waiting on…including the return of the beloved nighttime show Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
If you’ve been watching the weather reports recently, then you know that there’s a hurricane headed for Florida.
Stormy day in Magic Kingdom!
While Hurricane Ian’s true path remains a bit unpredictable, Floridians are already preparing for heavy storms and flooding in the later part of the week. If the hurricane hits Disney World, there are certain procedures that will be put in place for guest safety, and now it seems as though Disney is already preparing.
