food IS a theme park
Sure, staying at a Walt Disney World resort has a few perks, but if you have a larger family, or you want to stay off-property, you might be interested in the Club Wyndham on Bonnet Creek!
Time for a staycation!
There are SO many great options when it comes to hotel accommodations in Orlando, and each resort comes with a different set of pros and cons. If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, come with us as we explore the Club Wyndham hotel so you can see if it’s right for you!
As Disney World takes steps to reopen more restaurants around the parks, they’ve also started reopening buffets.
Welcome back to buffets at Crystal Palace!
Although dining already returned to Magic Kingdom’s Crystal Palace in December of 2020, the buffet had yet to reopen. After several other buffets have reopened in Disney World, such as Boma in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Biergarten in EPCOT, it’s now Crystal Palace’s turn!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is only a few weeks away!

There are so many ways to celebrate including a new attraction, a new restaurant, golden statues, and brand new entertainment in the parks! One of the ways Disney is celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is with Walt Disney World Ambassadors, representatives for the park to the world. Today, Disney World’s Global Ambassador for the 50th anniversary was honored with something special on Main Street, U.S.A.
No trip to Disney is going to be perfect; something will go wrong, whether it’s bad weather, your kids having a meltdown, or missing out on your favorite ride.
Magic Kingdom
Although these disappointments don’t completely ruin your trip, they still can leave a sour taste in your mouth, especially with all the time and effort it takes to embark on a Disney trip. We asked our readers to talk about what their biggest Disney World disappointments were! Here’s what our readers had to say:Â
Soooo much has changed in Disney World in 50 years!
Who’s ready to celebrate?!
From new rides and whole new parks to iconic new snacks, it’s safe to say that Disney looks very different than it did way back in 1971. As we prepare to celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, let’s wind back the clock and see what Magic Kingdom looked like 50 years ago!Â
We keep track of the new updates in the Disney World parks, but sometimes there’s big news at the hotels around them as well!
Polynesian Village Resort
Today, we’re going to look at a couple of Disney World hotels that have gotten some updates since we last visited.
If you’re in the Disney Parks around Halloween, you’re probably going to see SOMETHING poison apple-themed!
Poison Apple Stein in Disneyland
The Poison Apple Stein is a highly coveted sipper from the Disney parks, and we’ve seen it in several colors over time including a dark purple. Â This Snow White-themed sipper was last spotted at Disneyland, but today we found it in Disney World!
Fantasmic! in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a classic show at Disney World complete with effects, characters, and fireworks!
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Although Disney World has brought back firework shows like Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever, we have yet to hear anything about the reopening on Fantasmic!. The water was drained for a WHILE and there were THREE permits filed for Fantasmic! buildings earlier this year. Today, we’ve got updates on what the construction at Fantasmic! looks like!
We LOVE this time of year — the time when all the fall and Halloween food and drinks come out and make us think of cool days, colorful leaves, and everything we pretty much don’t get here in Florida, at least in early September.
Block and Hans
We’ve already dived into so many goodies, including a spicy (!!!) cupcake, a fun push pop with LOADS of icing, a boozy colorful flight of drinks, and a Haunted Mansion cake! Although we love all the new treats we’ve had a chance to check out, we’re also excited to see some returning faves!
We say this every week, but it has been a WEEK in Disney World.
