food IS a theme park
There are some very luxurious experiences you can have at Disney World.
California Grill
You can dine on top of the Contemporary, visit the spa, stay in a large suite, and more. But, did you know there’s a place at Disney World where the luxury doesn’t have to end? Disney’s Golden Oak is an upscale residential community designed by Imagineers. Yep, you can actually LIVE at Disney World, and they’re some of the most expensive homes to sell in Orange County, Florida!.
Now that the Christmas holiday has passed, it’s time to take a look at what’s new at Magic Kingdom ahead of the New Year’s Eve celebrations!
Cinderella Castle
You might not be surprised to learn that there were a LOT of big crowds in the park during our recent visits, plus some fun and limited-time holiday additions. Let’s take a look at what we’ve experienced in Magic Kingdom recently!
The 2022 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is almost here! It will run from March 2nd through July 4th, 2022.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
Along with all the new food, activities, and entertainment you can enjoy during the festival, one big piece of entertainment is coming back in 2022! After being replaced with a new concert series in 2021, the Garden Rocks Concert Series is returning to EPCOT, and we just got news about what might be one of the bands included in the lineup.
Typhoon Lagoon is officially reopening in Disney World on January 2nd, 2022!

In addition to all the fun water attractions to visit at Typhoon Lagoon, you can also choose from a number of dining spots when all that swimming has you craving some snacks. A few menus in Typhoon Lagoon are receiving some changes (some BIG changes too!) so check it out!
New Year’s Eve is almost upon us, so it’s time to get ready to ring in 2022!
New Year’s Eve Button at Hollywood Studios
Disney World is hosting some celebrations — there will be New Year’s Eve fireworks in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, several celebrations at restaurants in Disney Springs, and a very fancy party at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. And now, even MORE New Year’s Eve celebrations have been announced at the parks!
We’ve seen a number of treats arrive and then (sadly) disappear in Disney World.
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park!
The Kakamora Float in Magic Kingdom, for example, is one that has appeared, disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again in the past. Well recently we got some BIG news about Typhoon Lagoon Water Park reopening and the special snacks this spot will have available for guests to enjoy. And as we scrolled through the snack photos and details we noticed that one beloved treat that has been gone for a while is coming BACK!
Disney’s Magical Express was discontinued at the start of 2022. That means if you’re visiting Disney World this year, you’ll need to figure out another way to get to and from your Disney World hotel and the Orlando International Airport.
Magical Expres
You could use a rideshare service, a taxi, a rental car, a private car service, or several other options. Two BIG options you might also be considering are Mears Connect and The Sunshine Flyer. These are 2 transportation services that are essentially meant to replace the Magical Express. But just how do these replacement services compare to one another? We’re breaking down all of the information you need to know right here!
Disney World isn’t just about its famous theme parks, there are a lot of other things to do!
Winter Summerland Mini Golf
You can see a show, play some mini golf, or do some shopping without even stepping foot inside the parks. Another option is to visit Disney World’s water parks, and we have some news about the water parks that might affect your next trip!
A lot has happened in Disney World in 2021.
Partners Statue
Disney World discontinued and changed several big things in 2021, and not everyone has been a fan of all these changes. We asked our readers how Disney World made YOU mad in 2021. And now, we are sharing some common responses.
Disney World has a lot to do besides visit its 4 iconic theme parks. You can hang out at Disney Springs, play a round of mini golf, or even enjoy the water parks.
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park!
And, after many, many months of waiting, we FINALLY have a reopening date for Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon water park! It will reopen to guests on January 2nd, 2022, and when it does, there will be some new things to check out!
