food IS a theme park
You’ve already spent HUNDREDS to stay at a Disney World resort. So HOW are you going to save money on dining?
Olivia’s Cafe
By eating at the BEST budget-friendly restaurants Disney has to offer, of course!
Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade has been a long-standing favorite nighttime show for many Disney guests — and for good reason!
Main Street Electrical Parade in Disneyland
With over half a million lights on floats inspired by Disney classics like The Jungle Book and new tales such as Encanto, this spectacle has been dazzling guests on and off for over 50 years. The parade recently returned to Disneyland and to celebrate, a new designer collaboration was released. And now, that collection has arrived in Disney World!
Looking for the source of Disney magic? We’ll let you in on a little secret…it’s the Cast Members!
Cast Members are the BEST!
They go above and beyond to keep the magic alive every single day. We’ve seen their hard work rewarded with things like Cast Member compliments, exclusive events, and even fun competitions! And we wanted to highlight Disney World’s amazing Cast Members by asking our readers to share their favorite Cast Member interactions at Disney World restaurants!
Cast Members at Disney World truly make the world go ’round!
Be nice to Cast Members!
Cast Members are really what make the Disney Parks so great, and we love when they get celebrated for all of the amazing work that they do. In fact, we recently saw a Cast Member get pulled on stage by their favorite artist! They’re always around to give us the coolest Disney World facts, and Disney has special nighttime events celebrating everything that they do. Recently, we ran into some pretty special Cast Members over in EPCOT!
We may not talk about Bruno, but today we ARE talking about Mirabel!
Mirabel in Disneyland
Mirabel has already made her debut in Disneyland, but we have yet to see her in Disney World. And even while we received exciting character news, like the return of traditional meet and greets, one thing remained in the back of our minds: when is Mirabel coming to Disney World?! But finally, the time has come. We learned this week that she would be making her debut in a Disney World cavalcade, so let’s check out Mirabel in Disney World for the very first time!
Disney World was FULL of surprises this week!
Magic Kingdom
Not that it surprises us that Disney was surprising…er…something like that. Anyway, this week was full of holiday announcements, character meet-and-greet news, and lots more! Check out all the news here!
So who’s celebrating 626 Day? In case you don’t know about 626 day, it’s the day we celebrate Experiment 626, aka Stitch — June 26th!
Happy 626 Day, Stitch!
Okay, we don’t really need a reason to celebrate Stitch because he’s lovable year-round! We’re celebrating by reflecting on the wild history of Stitch in Disney World, checking out a new Harveys Stitch collection, and eating some Stitch-inspired snacks (yes, that means MORE BLUE FOOD, y’all). So we’re picking up a Stitch snack that got an upgrade from last year!
Happy 626 Day!
He’s taking over!
Today, we honor one of our favorite aliens, Experiment 626 — Stitch! June 26th (get it…626) marks the special “holiday” where we get to celebrate the little guy. We’ve seen fun items like kitchen accessories, plushes, and bags! A special treat also returned to Disney World for the occasion, but…it looks different this year.
Change is inevitable, even in Disney World.
Cheese and fries at Backlot Express!
Over the past two years, we’ve seen a LOT of change: we’ve experienced new rides, we’ve eaten a lot of new foods (the kind of change we’re total fans of), and we’ve watched supply issues cause problems across the resort. We’ve also seen price increases on merchandise and at restaurants, and there’s been more of that this week, so let’s get on with the restaurant menu updates!
Getting ready to head out on your Disney World vacation?!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
There’s so much to see and do around the parks and beyond that it can sometimes seem difficult to keep track of it all — luckily, that’s where we come in. We’re in the parks ALL THE TIME looking for the latest news and updates, and we’re back again with the biggest construction updates from Disney World this week!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
