food IS a theme park
Are you taking advantage of Annual Passholder PERKS in Disney World?
Annual Pass
If you have an annual pass, there are plenty of bonus perks that you can enjoy when you go to Disney World, like discounts on food and merchandise, occasional hotel room savings, and sometimes even freebies! For those who are heading to Animal Kingdom soon, we’ve got a heads-up about some new limited-time perks.
EVERYone loves Gideon’s cookies!
Gideon’s
The rich, famous, and influential – – from politicians and royalty to rock stars and Hollywood icons – – have been visiting Disney’s theme parks since Disneyland opened back in 1955. However, it’s admittedly not that often we see one of the most famous faces in the country chow down on one of the resort’s trademark desserts for all to see.
Multi-thousand dollar crystal sculptures, refillable park mugs, and… human hair??

Disney World sells SO MANY DIFFERENT ITEMS throughout its parks and resorts… but do YOU need to buy them, too? Or is there a better alternative that you should save for?
Did you know that you could stay at a Disney beach resort just two hours outside of Disney World?
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is a hidden gem on Florida’s Treasure Coast. While it might not be located at the main Disney World Resort, it has plenty of Disney touches throughout and even serves some iconic Disney park food! At the Wind and Waves Market, you can find Mickey Pretzels, churros, Mickey Premium Bars, and even Dole Whip! You can even purchase the iconic Refillable Mug here!
Who’s ready for Halloween?
Magic Kingdom is ready for Halloween!
Magic Kingdom is officially decorated for spooky season, and the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is nearly here! Starting on Friday, August 9th, you’ll be able to attend the Halloween event in Magic Kingdom on select nights through October 31st with a specially priced ticket. There will be exclusive snacks, new merchandise, exciting entertainment, shorter waits for rides, and our favorite characters dressed in their Halloween costumes. Speaking of characters in costumes, we finally got to see what our pals Mickey and Minnie will be wearing to the event of the season and two new characters coming to the party!
There are so many things to do in Disney World besides just riding rides!
Spaceship Earth
From incredible shows and fireworks to interactive exhibits, Disney really has it all! And one of the most popular things to do in the parks is to meet your favorite Disney characters. Recently, Disney asked us a rather interesting question about character meet and greets.
You’ll find lots of shopping and dining locations around Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
If you need a day of strolling around shopping and eating on your Disney World vacation, Disney Springs is the place to do it. There’s something for everyone. Disney Springs is also frequently changing and upgrading. We’ve seen several shops and restaurants getting refurbishments or closing to make room for new ones to come in. Now, a popular sweets shop will be temporarily closed for some remodeling.
Disney adds new souvenirs to their park shops all the time.
Emporium at Magic Kingdom has TONS of souvenirs!
We’ll be the first to say that most of the new merchandise is ADORABLE. We have a hard time saying no to all the cute new souvenirs that get added to the shops. New Spirit Jerseys, Loungeflys, pins, house decor, and so much more get added regularly. However, some items really have us scratching our heads and questioning everything.
One of the most important things you’ll pack for Disney World — if not THE most important thing you’ll pack — is comfortable shoes! Disney’s theme parks are big, which means you’ll be walking a LOT during your vacation. We’re talking tens of thousands of steps. You don’t want to get a blister and be in pain or unable to do everything during your trip!
