food IS a theme park
Code Orange may be in full effect over at the Disney parks, but summer is still in full swing at Disney Springs!
Gideon’s
Gideon’s Bakehouse is a staple at Disney Springs, and we totally get why it’s so popular. From delicious treats to immersive decor, Gideon’s is truly a can’t-miss stop if you’re visiting Disney World. But the best part about Gideon’s is all the limited-time goodies you can snag, which makes repeat visits totally worth it!
We all love Disney World, right?!
Magic Kingdom
I mean, who can get over all the magic, the nostalgia, and the snacks? Seriously though, we love going to visit, but when we talk about planning for our next trip, there’s one Disney World rule that can definitely put a wrench into our plans, and it’s one we wish Disney World would finally get rid of. Let’s talk about it!
Hurricane season can make a pretty big impact on your Disney World trip, and experts have predicted that the 2024 hurricane season is going to be worse than previous years, with a “potentially explosive” series of storms.
Rainy day in Magic Kingdom
We’ve been tracking the latest disturbance in the Atlantic which is slowly making its way through the Caribbean and toward Florida, causing a state of emergency declaration in the Sunshine State. Here are the latest updates.
Disney World just looooooves to change things up on us and the latest victim is the skip-the-line service.
Cinderella Castle
What once was FastPass, FastPass+, and Genie+, is now Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass. But, before these recent changes rolled out, Disney introduced surge pricing to what was Genie+ at the time. Depending on the date of your visit, you may find yourself paying more or less to skip the line based on demand. Or, at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work!
BOO! Did we scare you?! Ready or not, Halloween is coming SOON!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve already seen tons of Halloween merchandise in stores and online and learned more details about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year! But, all the eats and treats just might be our favorite part about spooky season and a whole bunch more were just announced!
Since Disney World replaced Genie+ with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, we’ve been busy testing the entire new system out.
Lighting Lane
We’ve tried it while park hopping. We’ve discovered some of the best tricks for the new system. We’ve tried it in every park and we’ve used it for advance planning as both Disney World hotel guests and not. Now that we’ve put the new system through its paces, we’re going to say this: it’s so much easier to use than you think. Yes, really! We think this is a huge improvement over Genie+!
Disney World is always changing, and that’s part of the fun in visiting often.
Japan Pavilion at EPCOT
Just this year, we’ve seen the opening of a brand new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, as well as the reopening of a classic attraction, Country Bear Jamboree, which got a new show. Test Track in EPCOT is currently closed to be reimagined. However, it’s not just rides that are changing in Disney World — the food is always changing, too, and one Disney World restaurant just announced it will be debuting a new menu.
If you’re someone who drives to Disney World, then you know just how important getting cheap gas can make all the difference in your budget!
Welcome to Disney World!
With gas prices hitting record highs in Florida earlier this year, it’s no wonder you might be looking to save a few cents at the pump. At the end of the day, sometimes driving can be just as expensive as flying — but not with this limited-time deal on cheap gas!
Disney Cruise Line has been revealing some BIG news about its newest ship, the Disney Destiny.
Look at all the patches!
The new ship will be sailing to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean during its inaugural season, which starts in November 2025. The ship will have a heroes and villains theme and will have a lot of Marvel spaces, including a Grand Hall inspired by Black Panther. However, there will be a lot of things to see and do on the ship, too, and now Disney has revealed all the entertainment you’ll find onboard the Disney Destiny.
Are you planning a Disney World trip? If so, you’re probably getting a lot of advice from family, friends, and co-workers who have been there about things you ABSOLUTELY must-do.
The Beast at Be Our Guest Restaurant
That means you’re probably getting some dining recommendations, too, and yes, we bet that these are recommendations for the popular dining spots, those that EVERYONE talks about ALL the time. However, we’re going to tell you that just because a dining spot is popular does not mean that it’s the best. Now, we’ve eaten at every single restaurant in Disney World, and we’re going to tell you which reservations you should book instead.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
