food IS a theme park
We all know that parking at the airport can be a pain.
Orlando International Airport signage
From the trouble of finding a spot to paying the fees to hauling your luggage back and forth from the car, sometimes it’s just more headache than its worth. Parking at the Orlando International Airport is no different, but it looks like they’re hoping to improve the process soon!
We’ve been watching the progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for nearly a year now in Disney World.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Splash Mountain closed in 2023 to make way for the new Princess and the Frog-themed log flume ride, and construction has been moving along quickly. We’ve seen sneak peeks at what the ride will look like, from concept art to scale models, but now we’ve got one more hint about what we’ll find inside!
How do you decide what to wear to Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
It can be a hard choice, depending on the time of year, the weather, and all the activities you hope to do in the parks. But even though you’re spending your days in a theme park, you can still dress cute! And the newest Disney merchandise collection is proof of that.
There’s a BIG construction project that you probably noticed in Magic Kingdom!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
That’s right — currently, Disney is renovating the old Splash Mountain ride into a new Princess and the Frog-themed attraction called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The makeover is taking place on both the east and west coasts, but in Magic Kingdom, it’s causing some changes recently!
A Disney Cruise Line vacation is a great way to let loose and relax at the same time!
Disney Wish docked at Castaway Cay
And if you haven’t been on a Disney cruise in a while…things are changing! Back in 2022, the Disney Wish had its inaugural sailing, and now just two years later, we’re preparing for the launch of the Disney Treasure. But on top of that, Disney’s opening a new island destination soon!
We JUST kicked off the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, but it’s not to soon to start planning for the next festival!
2023 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival usually takes place in the springtime, bringing beautiful topiaries and floral displays to the park, along with garden-inspired eats and entertainment. If you’re coming to Disney World in the next few months and you want to visit the festival, we’ve got some important news for you!
Heading to Disney Springs soon? There’s one place we almost always recommend for the best sweet treats!
Krampus cookie at Gideon’s Bakehouse
That’s right, we’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse! The beloved cookie shop is incredibly popular and usually has a long line out the door filled with visitors waiting to buy multiple half-pound cookies. We talk about Gideon’s a LOT because it’s one of our favorite spots, and if you’re a big Gideon’s fan as well, we’ve got an announcement to make!
EPCOT has been through quite a few changes recently!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
The park is almost done with a massive transformation that included new rides, restaurants, gift shops, and common spaces. Just back in December, we saw World Celebration (the area in the middle of the park) reopen to visitors, but construction in the front areas of the park isn’t quite done yet. And recently, there was another major change!
Menu items come and go all the time in Disney World.
Disney Springs
Sometimes we get really attached to a snack, entree, or dessert, and then Disney cruelly snatches it away from us…but by now we’ve gotten used to it. The good news is that some foods also rotate seasonally, so we can comfort ourselves by knowing they’ll come back around in the future. And that’s exactly what happened with one of our favorite eats in Disney Springs!
We see a LOT of merchandise each year in the Disney World theme parks, and 2024 is no exception so far!
Let’s shop!
We’ve already gotten some sneak peeks at new collections coming this year, from snack-themed items to merchandise focused on the parks as a whole. But there’s one item we think will be pretty popular, and it’s already in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
