food IS a theme park
The shops on Main Street, U.S.A. are playing musical chairs!
Main Street, U.S.A.
As Walt Disney World prepares for its 50th anniversary celebration, we’ve seen all kinds of work being done around Magic Kingdom. But on Main Street, U.S.A., some spring cleaning is taking place, too! Main Street Confectionery just closed for a months-long refurbishment — and now, another shop has closed, too.
We’re a little over six months away from the beginning of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations, and we’ve been seeing quite a few attractions close for refurbishment leading up to the festivities.
Preparations are underway for the 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Over at Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle has been getting some TLC with a new paint job, some fixes to the stage area, and even some new decorations. We’ve also seen a few rides undergo maintenance such as Mad Tea Party and Peter Pan’s Flight. And, the next item on Disney’s punch list is here and it involves the temporary closure of one of the sweetest shops in the park.
We’ve popped into Disney World’s WILDEST park a few times in the last week!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a pretty cool place to hang out. We love eating the food, riding the rides, and (of course!) checking in on the animals. Now, we’re here with a quick update on everything NEW in the park!
Think you can’t go to Disney World on a budget or that you have to stay at a Disney hotel to get special perks in the parks?
Walt Disney World is constantly changing!
You are SO wrong my friends.
When planning a Disney World vacation, you’ve gotta have basics covered like park tickets, hotel reservations, transportation plans, and Park Pass reservations. That’s a given, right??

Well, another thing that has become absolutely ESSENTIAL when it comes to visiting Disney World is our phones! Seriously, you may view your cell phone as essential in normal, daily life, but it may be even MORE SO in Disney World. The My Disney Experience App has become critical for having a successful Disney trip, and it has SO many features that can be used for so many different things. BUT, there are probably a few things you didn’t even know the app could do!Â
If you follow us over on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the trivia questions we ask you occasionally!
Main Street, U.S.A.
And some of you have been able to answer a lot of our trivia questions without even thinking, but we’ve added a few that are tough for even the most hardcore Disney World fans! And it seems like our latest question stumped some of you!
Everywhere you look there is construction happening around Disney World!
Cinderella Castle Decorations
While it seems that the construction projects are never ending, there are a lot of super exciting changes coming to Disney World. Let’s take a look at all of the progress this week! [Read more…]
It’s that time of the week! We’re back to check out the average wait times in Disney World over the past week!
Cinderella Castle Decorations
Disney World has been at capacity for over a week now, and doesn’t look to be any less busy anytime soon. Even though Park Pass Reservations continue to be booked up, the wait times in the parks have managed to go DOWN. Today, looking at the average wait times in ALL four Disney World theme parks!
One thing about Disney World that continued to AMAZE us is the array of hidden details and fun surprises!Â
Hidden Mickey Italy Pavilion
You’ve heard of Hidden Mickeys before, but how about Hidden…Pirates? Well, sorta. We found a hidden detail in Magic Kingdom today that even the staunchest Pirates of the Caribbean fans probably haven’t seen!Â
Because of health and safety guidelines, lines at Disney World tend to snake all over the parks — occasionally those lines take us to new and unexpected locations!
We’re going Soarin’!
With social distancing in the parks, lines can get pretty long, and Disney gets creative on where queues for attractions or restaurants can go. We’ve waited backstage for a lumpia at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but also for margaritas at La Cava del Tequila!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
