food IS a theme park
It’s no secret we love Disney Starbucks tumblers (and regular Starbucks tumblers, too — we’re not picky) but this latest release may just take the cake.
Isn’t it beautiful?
While it’s not out quite yet, we’ve marked our calendars and set our alarms because we have a feeling we won’t be the only ones after this coveted new cup. But, fans of Disney’s Haunted Mansion should be especially excited, and we bet by now you can guess why…
BOO! Did we scare you? Ready or not, the Halloween season is right around the corner.
Halloween in Disney World
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World and Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure are already on sale (and sold out, in some cases!) and we celebrated Halfway to Halloween not too long ago. If you’re looking to get into the spooky spirit early, you might want to run to Costco!
It’s official! The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming back in a BIG way this year.
It’s festival time!
Disney just revealed the dates for the 2024 event and we’re looking forward to eating and drinking our way around all the food booths! But, that’s not the only thing we’re looking forward to at the festival. The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is returning in 2024 and we officially know which iconic bands and artists will be performing!
We have a problem — we can’t stop eating at Disney Springs restaurants.
Disney Springs
There are just SO. MANY. good ones to choose from (which is a problem all on its own!) and you don’t even need a park ticket to get to them! Annual Passholders can often find serious savings in the form of discounts at dining spots around Disney Springs, and one of our favorites has doubled theirs yet again!
There are plenty of reasons why someone might want to become a member of the Disney Vacation Club.
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
DVC Members get tons of perks like discounts on dining, shopping, and more, early access to new rides and attractions, and of course — being able to vacation at Disney properties using pre-purchased points. Joining Disney Vacation Club is a commitment, though, and a new law may make you think twice about it.
The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here — Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is OPEN in Magic Kingdom!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We’ve already had an opportunity to check out the new ride, but we’re so excited for it to officially be open! As part of the celebration, Disney announced new souvenirs, entertainment, and of course, snacks to welcome Tiana’s, and we’re checking a few of those eats out right now!
Disney is no stranger to lawsuits, and we finally have an update on one that could impact you.

Back in November 2022, we learned that YouTube TV subscribers had brought a class-action lawsuit against Disney alleging that the company’s ownership of ESPN and Hulu has caused them to pay MORE for their subscriptions than they otherwise would have to if ESPN wasn’t part of the base package. Disney previously filed a motion to dismiss the case, and here’s how that’s going.
The day we’ve been waiting for is here! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is open in Magic Kingdom! We are so obsessed with all the new critters and animatronics Disney has included in this ride that we’ve been keeping up with every single update we can get.

And, now that the ride has opened, we’re taking in all the sights, sounds, and even smells at Tiana’s — but we’re not the only ones. So, what do the crowds look like on the opening day of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom?!
While it may only be June, there is no time like the present to start making plans for the holiday season.
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
Well, now you can plan your trip to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays because Disney has officially released the dates for this year’s event! But, the dates aren’t the only thing Disney has confirmed for the Festival of the Holidays — so let’s get into everything we know so far.
EPCOT isn’t the only park that’s undergoing some renovations at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
We’re particularly excited about the MASSIVE expansion coming to Magic Kingdom, which includes a new bar inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean — we know, cool, right?! A permit was filed for construction in this area not too long ago, and now it looks like things are moving right along!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
