McDonald’s
Not only do we need to satisfy that occasional craving for Chicken McNuggets and those AMAZING fries, but we also love when Disney and McDonald’s team up for new Happy Meal toys. We went a little nuts over those Walt Disney Company 100th anniversary figures. McDonald’s also often releases new Happy Meal toys ahead of a big Disney movie release, but now, some new Happy Meal toys that are coming soon might have just SPOILED a new Marvel movie. Oops.

On top of that, some airlines are far stricter than others about carry-ons and what counts as a personal item, including one you may not expect.

Disneyland’s latest expansion is taking another step… FORWARD very soon.

DisneylandForward, the massive Disneyland plan that calls for the resort to expand by allowing “theme park attractions alongside hotels on the west side of Disneyland Drive and theme park attractions alongside new shopping, dining and entertainment to the southeast on what is today the Toy Story Parking Area” cleared its first a biggest legislative hurdle when the proposal passed an initial Anaheim City Council vote on April 17th. However, another vote is yet to come.
