By Leave a Comment

When Disney World reopened after the pandemic-related closures, not every aspect of the parks returned at once.

Hello from Magic Kingdom!

Disney began a phased reopening based on health guidelines that extended to parks, hotels, dining, and even entertainment. That’s why we were SO excited when Disney’s Festival of Fantasy Parade made its debut once again last month in Magic Kingdom. We quickly noticed that not every character had returned with the parade, but now it looks like that has officially changed!

Why You Might Want to Avoid EPCOT the Night of June 5th

By 1 Comment

With all the exciting talk about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opening soon in EPCOT, you’re probably ready to make that park pass reservation to experience the attraction for yourself!

EPCOT

We don’t blame you — the new omnicoaster is one of the longest indoor roller coasters ever built and promises a thrilling storyline. But if your perfect Disney day ends with taking in the bombastic sights and sounds of Harmonious, there’s one day this summer you won’t want to head to EPCOT!

Should I Cancel Cable and Get Hulu + Live TV Instead? The PROS and CONS.

By 1 Comment

Let’s face it – watching TV isn’t as simple as it used to be. 📺 Gone are the days when you had to settle for watching an episode of Friends that you’d already seen 50+ times. Now, you can binge the ENTIRE series in one go (which would actually be REALLY impressive and time consuming 😂) or watch anything else that your heart desires anywhere, anytime thanks to all the streaming services that are out there.

But, there’s a dark side to all this — you can end up being subscribed to SO many different services that you just can’t keep it all straight. To answer this problem, Hulu (of which Disney is the majority/controlling shareholder) has come up with (what they likely think is) the PERFECT solution — Hulu + Live TV. There’s been a lot of talk about just how great this service is, but is it actually right for you and your family? Let’s weigh the pros and cons!
