food IS a theme park
As a group of self-proclaimed vacation experts, our team has flown a LOT.
Terminal C at the Orlando International Airport
Collectively we’ve probably spent thousands of hours in airports across the country, whether flying to Disney World or taking an international trip. And all that experience means that we have a lot of advice to share! That’s why today, we’re rounding up our top air travel tips in the hopes that we can make your in-flight experience as smooth as possible.
Okay, so y’all know how much we love Gideon’s Bakehouse. We can’t get enough of those cookies and cake slices!
Gideon’s Bakehouse Orlando East End location
In fact, we loved Gideon’s cookies long before a location opened in Disney Springs, back when we could get the cookies at the original Orlando location (and at Polite Pig for a while). So when we tell you to drop everything to go get a special cookie, you know we mean it! And today is that day!
Although Halloween isn’t technically here yet, some of us are already starting to think ahead to the holidays.
Dooney & Bourke Holiday Wallet
We’re already seeing holiday merchandise in stores in Disney World and online, so we’re making our holiday shopping lists and starting to grab all the savings for gifts that we can. So now’s a great time to take advantage of a HUGE sale on shopDisney, right?
Ever get to a hotel, see someone check in for their SUITE (fancy!), and suddenly regret the very basic room you booked with no view and only the necessary amenities? Wish you could somehow get an upgraded room?

Disney has really mastered the souvenir game.
We’ve seen classic souvenirs, collectible souvenirs, practical souvenirs, and some EXPENSIVE souvenirs. But we LOVE finding weird souvenirs. Let’s take a look at one of our favorites — the Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister Water Bottle!!
The Brightline train is an exciting new addition for many Florida residents.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Disney backed out of the Brightline train deal, but the current train route will still stop near Disney World and run close to Universal Orlando’s new park, Epic Universe. This new train isn’t just for theme park visitors though — it will provide a new method of transportation for many around the area. But how much will the new train really help the state’s infrastructure needs? The U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary had some thoughts to share on the matter.
It’s almost the holiday season, and you know what that means…time to do some SHOPPING!

And if you’re an Amazon devotee, then you’re going to want to see the latest Disney-themed deals on the site. Some of these would make great holiday presents!
