food IS a theme park
We’ve been closely following the progress on the Brightline train in Florida!
Would You Take a Train to Disney World?©Brightline
The train will directly transport guests from the Orlando International Airport to a stop in Disney Springs, which will be super helpful when the Magical Express service is discontinued in January 2022. While the train’s Disney Springs stop was originally due to open in 2023, it has been delayed to 2026. But now, construction has reached a BIG milestone!
Who doesn’t love a good all-you-can-eat breakfast?!
Let’s take a visit to Cape May!
When Disney World reopened, several restaurants remained closed for months afterward, not having the resources, staff, or possibly guest demand to operate again. Now, we’re starting to see some of our favorites open back up for business, and today we’re heading over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort to check one out! Cape May Cafe has reopened and we’re ready to utterly stuff ourselves with hearty breakfast food.
For months we have been closely following the saga of the Three Caballeros animatronic figures at The Gran Fiesta Tour in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion.
Gran Fiesta Tour
For a while Donald’s animatronic was replaced by a PLANT (literally) and later all 3 of the animatronics were totally removed and replaced by cardboard cutouts. It’s been one wild ride! But now we’ve got some BIG news — the Three Caballeros (in animatronic form) are BACK!!
100th-anniversary ears, Dole Whip ears, and tropical ears — there are LOTS of Minnie and Mickey ears you can buy in the Disney World theme parks and online.
50th Anniversary Grand Finale Ears
But, if you’re searching for a particular set of ears in Magic Kingdom, odds are you’re probably looking for them and buying them in the WRONG place.
When you’re planning a trip to Disney World you’re probably thinking a lot about where you’re going to stay. The hotel you pick can set the mood for your entire trip and there’s a lot you need to consider. Is it in my price range? Is it close to the things I want to do? Do I like the theme?
You can find great Disney theming if you want it.
Sometimes we make mistakes and book the wrong hotel and these reviewers on Trip Advisor have some strong feelings about why these are the worst hotels in Disney World.
We have had ALL kinds of donuts and treats from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs!
There’s a reason we keep going back to Everglazed…
From a cronut topped with buttercream and a mini churro to a GIANT donut topped with a beautiful flower, we’ve made our way through a lot of their menu and brought you all of our thoughts. But now 3 NEW donuts have arrived! [Read more…]
Disney’s been making some changes to its MagicBands recently!
MagicBands
As the new MagicMobile service rolls out as an optional replacement to MagicBands, our favorite little wrist accessories have gotten some adjustments! First, they were no longer complimentary for Resort Guests — and as of August 16th, 2021, they won’t be free for Annual Passholders, either. And now, we’re seeing another change.
We recently found out about a certain favorite snack returning to EPCOT.
Roulé aux Fromage
One thing we noticed was that it was a little different from before, and we were kinda disappointed. What we didn’t expect was for Disney to respond!!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom was the last park to open in Disney World back in 1998 — a piece of Disney trivia that ALWAYS makes us feel old (that was 23 years ago!!).
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
There are TONS of really cool details about this park that make it a completely immersive wildlife experience, and today we’re talking about the ones that are so hidden, they’re basically top secret. A land that never came to life, a fake waterfall, and lots of other things packed into the park that you may never notice!
EPCOT’s been undergoing some MAJOR construction lately, but there’s one project that we’re still waiting on.

Yup, remember Space 220? Disney announced a WHILE ago that this restaurant would pop up near Mission: SPACE, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting those internationally-inspired eats. There have been quite a few delays, but we’ve got a sign that this spot may FINALLY be opening…
