food IS a theme park
Disney has a NEW island destination!
Let’s go to Lookout Cay!
Recently, Disney Cruise Line opened Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, which is a new destination for several cruise itineraries. The Bahamian island is home to beautiful beaches, several restaurants, and plenty of activities for the family during your day-long visit. And we got to visit to check it out! But we got a LOT of questions about Lookout Cay, and now we’re here to answer them.
We clock THOUSANDS of steps in Disney World a day, and we know that people visiting for vacation do as well!
Cinderella Castle
But if those 15,000 steps aren’t enough for you, you can pay to get even MORE! Yep, one of Disney World’s most popular offerings is the runDisney races that happen throughout the year, where people can register to run through the Disney parks before they open for the day, competing in 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon races. And if you’re interested in doing a race, we’ve got some news for you!
We’re constantly on the lookout for Disney news, and we sometimes find it in the strangest of places.
It’s Mickey!
Sometimes Disney shares news directly on its websites or through the Disney Parks Blog. Sometimes we hear about the latest announcements from major news sources or the latest Walt Disney Company earnings call. And sometimes we learn new info just from visiting the theme parks. But now, it looks like Mickey Mouse himself is gearing up to announce something big!
We spend a LOT of time on the Disney World website.
Magic Kingdom
Checking park hours, looking for new menu items, searching for news on EPCOT festivals or ride refurbishments, or even just confirming details for articles we write. We’ve become pretty familiar with that Disney World URL! And during a recent glance at the website, we discovered something really weird.
We’re gearing up for one of the BIGGEST theme park events in Orlando…the opening of a NEW park!
This new theme park is huge!
Universal Orlando is set to open Universal Epic Universe in 2025 and we can’t wait to be there! We don’t have an official opening date yet, but Universal has already shared details about several of the lands, rides, restaurants, and offerings coming to the park. But what about the tickets? Well, we’ve got some news!
One of the biggest shopping events of the year is coming up!

That’s right, Amazon Prime Day is happening on July 16th and 17th, 2024! Usually, this mega sale brings thousands of great deals on a variety of products. And if you can’t wait for the official sale, we’ve got an early deal for you!
There’s a NEW ride in Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure recently opened in Magic Kingdom, and it has been pretty popular since, with fans flocking to the ride to see how Disney overhauled Splash Mountain with a Princess and the Frog theme. To help manage some of those crowds, Disney decided to operate Tiana’s Bayou Adventure with a virtual queue. But what happens if you’re LATE for your return time? We tested it out!
If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re all about the Disney World SNACKS!
Spaceship Earth welcomes you to EPCOT… and to World Celebration!
Over the years, we’ve tried hundreds, probably thousands of treats in the parks and resorts, and we’ve definitely got some favorites that we think you NEED to try. One of those snacks (and probably one of the most popular snacks in Disney World as a whole) is Dole Whip! There are so many flavors to check out at various spots around property, and coming soon, we’re adding a new Dole Whip treat to the list.
It’s Target Circle Week, and that means it’s time to celebrate with a shopping spree!
Target
During Target Circle Week, you can score some incredible deals both in-store and online, so if there’s something you’ve been waiting to buy, now is the time! And to make your shopping easier, we’ve rounded up a list of 25 Disney-themed items you can snag for under $25 each.
Disney World is making quite a few changes these days.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
From completely overhauling Genie+ to planning expansions for the theme parks, we’re basically floating in a SEA of Disney news and wondering how all of it is going to affect our next vacation…and yours! And along those lines, Disney announced a new hotel guest perk a while back, and we think it’s going to cause some CHAOS.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
