food IS a theme park
If you’re not shopping for Disney items at Target, you’re missing out!
Super Target
Over the years, we’ve used Target to quench our thirst for Disney shopping many a time when we couldn’t visit the parks! They have everything from toys to apparel to home decor for the fans of the mouse, and now, they’ve dropped a NEW Mickey Mouse beach collection online. Let’s check it out!
I’m a Disney World reporter, and I’ve done some pretty wild things to get content for our readers.
Caribbean Beach Resort
I’ve carried snacks halfway across the park to get pictures in front of Cinderella Castle, I’ve ridden the same ride four times in a row to get footage, and I’ve stayed in the parks well past midnight on more than one occasion — it’s all part of the job. But recently, I took a visit to Disney World where my editor made me do something pretty ridiculous!
If you’ve been to Disney World in the past, you’ve probably tried many of the restaurants in the parks and a few in Disney Springs, but sometimes, the HOTEL restaurants are where it’s at!
Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
Some of the best food in all of Disney World is located at the resorts, and we’ve got a long list of hidden gems that are often overlooked. During your next trip, you might want to venture outside of your typical dining comfort zone, and if you’re interested in trying something new, then you need to check out this dining review!
We have a LOT of opinions about Disney World bathrooms.
Disney Springs Bathrooms
That may seem weird, but when you spend every single day of the year in Disney World, you start to develop some strong feelings about seemingly insignificant things. We have our preferred list of facilities — we know which ones are the best and quietest, and which restrooms are unnecessarily crowded or dirty. But outside of that, we also know two things that Disney World bathrooms desperately need.
If there isn’t some kind of seasonal treat being offered in Disney World during your vacation, I’ll eat my pants.
Tree of Life
Okay, maybe I won’t do that, but it seems like there’s ALWAYS a slew of seasonal snacks to try out in the parks and resorts and Disney Springs! Heading into April, Disney is celebrating Earth Month and there are a few limited-time offerings that you might want to check out. We picked up two of them and I’m here to give you the full review!
As an avid Disney fan who has been to the parks hundreds of times, I’ve experienced my fair share of Disney disasters!
Disneyland
From losing my cell phone in the parks to extreme sunburn to literally stepping in someone else’s sick while wearing sandals (yes, that happened to me in EPCOT!), I’ve seen and been through quite a bit. But there’s one horrifying lesson I learned in a Disneyland bathroom, and I want to share it with you so you can learn from my mistakes!
We’re getting closer and closer to Disney World opening a NEW ride!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is being constructed in both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, but the Magic Kingdom version is set to open FIRST this summer. Disney has been sharing sneak peeks and details of what we can expect with the new ride, and now we’ve got even more updates to show you!
We’re in the heat of Spring Break season in Disney World, and the parks are HOPPING!
Crowds
Some of the busiest times to visit Disney World are the weeks before and after Easter, and this year is no different. We’ve seen incredibly high wait times, limited availability with Disney Park Passes, and very high prices for Genie+. That trend continues on the morning of Tuesday, April 2nd!
For weeks, we’ve been watching the lead-up to Disney’s annual shareholders meeting.
Cinderella Castle
The Walt Disney Company has been in a proxy battle with activist investor Nelson Peltz and his company Trian Partners. Trian had put forth nominations for Peltz and former Disney finance chief Jay Rasulo to take two seats on Disney’s board of directors. Disney CEO Bob Iger has publicly spoken against these nominations, but now that we’re getting closer to the big meeting, we’re starting to see how the shareholders are voting!
If you’re heading to Disney World for vacation, being prepared is the best way to make sure you have a successful trip!
EPCOT
Being prepared usually means going into your vacation with dining reservations, a list of must-dos, and some semblance of how the My Disney Experience and Genie+ work, but there’s something else we’d like to add. One major part of being prepared is packing the perfect park bag!
