food IS a theme park
If you’re planning to visit Disney World over the next few months, you need to pay close attention to the weather.
Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom
While summer in Florida might make you think of heat, sunshine, and some rain showers, severe weather — including hurricanes — can impact the Orlando area and sometimes even shut DOWN Disney World. Each hurricane season is unique though, and this year will be a little different than years past. Here’s what you need to know.
Springtime in Disney World means new treats, fun activities, and warmer weather. But you can celebrate the season Disney-style even if you won’t be in the parks this year!
Gorgeous flowers!
We’ve already spotted some spring-themed merchandise online at shopDisney, but you can also get Disney merch for the season at other stores as well! Come with us to check out one item at Target, which is only available online.
Back in February of 2023, current Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that there would be 7,000 job cuts at Disney.

We’ve since gotten some updates about what Disney Cast Members may (or may not) be impacted by these job cuts, and in early March we shared that some of these layoffs and job cuts could begin next month. Now we’ve got a huge update on what’s happening at Disney.
Are you a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member? Do you like going on cruises?
The Disney Wish!
Well, as you know, Disney Cruise Line does offer occasional perks (usually in the form of discounts) for DVC members. However, DVC members now have even MORE of a reason to go on a cruise. That’s because they can now choose a cruise that is ONLY for them!
Disney is no stranger to controversy.
Splash Mountain Before It Closed in Magic Kingdom
It has made some controversial changes at the parks over the years (like the removal of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights), has created some divisive snacks, and has been caught in the middle of its fair share of scandals. But sometimes, when the controversy has become too strong, Disney has totally ditched those complicated things. So just what has Disney abandoned over the years? Some of these things you might be familiar with — but other things might be a total SHOCK.
It’s time to talk about candy! We’re talking about those rows and rows of candy bars and candy that line the aisles at grocery stores.
Skittles
Do you have a favorite? Maybe it’s M&Ms (and if so, you should DEFINITELY visit the M&Ms Store in Disney Springs). Or maybe the combo of peanut butter and chocolate in Reese’s makes you happy. Perhaps your favorite candy is Skittles, but if that’s the case, we could have some bad news.
If you’re a big fast food eater, this is news you’ll want to hear.

There are lots of great fast-food spots inside the Disney World parks, but there’s plenty more in our everyday lives. And we keep an eye on that news too, because hey, we eat fast food! If you’re like us, you NEED to know about this Wendy’s and McDonald’s fast food battle.
One of our favorite things to do is shop — especially for Disney merchandise!
Let’s go shopping!
From new Disney Dooney and Burke collections to all the cute orange bird merch we’ve seen lately with EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, there is so much to choose from in the parks. But what if you’re in between Disney trips and are needing a little Disney merch fix? Don’t worry, we got you!
Did you know that March 25th is National Waffle Day? Talk about a holiday WE can get behind.
Waffles FOR DAYS
Waffles are an ICONIC part of breakfast, and there is NOTHING like a warm Mickey waffle. Yes, although they ALWAYS taste better when you’re visiting Disney World, they’re still pretty amazing when you make them at home, too! So if you’re looking for a Disney waffle maker to make those delicious waffles, we’ve got you covered.
Things with Disney’s executive team have been in flux lately.

Bob Chapek is no longer CEO, a new chairman of the Board will be starting soon, some executives have left, others are set to return, and job cuts could impact many employees across the Company. And while Bob Iger has returned to the CEO position for a 2-year run, one former Disney CEO has indicated that LEAVING the Company is what may have actually helped him to keep on living.
