food IS a theme park
If you plan on visiting Magic Kingdom this weekend and beyond, we have an important update to share!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
If you’re a fan of Magic Kingdom’s Festival of Fantasy Parade, REJOICE! We previously reported that the parade will once again be performed TWICE each day, and now the day that change becomes official is nearly here! [Read more…]
If you’ve followed along with the Walt Disney Company for some time, you’re probably aware of the Company’s dispute with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Magic Kingdom
The ongoing battle between Disney and DeSantis’ district was believed by Disney to be an orchestrated campaign to punish Disney for its political views and that this all now threatens Disney’s business. After Disney pushed back on DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education law (known by many as the “Don’t Say Gay” Law), DeSantis pushed for control of Disney’s special tax district and insisted that his appointed board be in control of happenings in and around Disney World property. Since the battle began, Disney paused all donations to local politicians, but it seems that that is now changing.
Months after its closing, Disney’s Star Wars Hotel is STILL making waves.

The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is going to go down as one of the most fascinating projects undertaken by the Walt Disney Company. Some would argue it was an ahead of its time, unforgettable interactive experience that immersed users in the Star Wars universe. Others may refer to it as an overpriced boondoggle that underdelivered on its premise. What can’t be denied is that, for the 19 months it was open, there was no shortage of opinions on the Star Wars hotel. Since the Galactic Starcruiser closed for good in September 2023, there have been many, many postmortem comments from Disney executives, articles, podcasts, and YouTube videos dissecting what went “wrong.”
Things are about to get VERY busy in Disney World, but that’s not a BIG surprise.
The crowds are headed to Disney World
However, if you’ve never visited Disney World over a holiday weekend, you could be a little shocked by the crowds. Memorial Day brings in quite a few people, PLUS the Disney Memorial Day Soccer Tournament brings in even MORE people, so you need to be prepared before you step foot in the parks. You’ll also notice that the price of Genie+ will rise when Disney World expects crowds, and we’ve already seen Genie+ jump up in price as of today.
Disney World Cast Members have a lot of rules they need to abide by.
We love Cast Members!
We have a lot of former Cast Members on our team who give us the inside scoop on how things work around the parks, and we were super surprised when they told us about this VERY strict rule they have to follow when they’re NOT on the clock.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is almost open in Disney World!

We’re so close to getting a new ride with new animatronics, fan-favorite songs, and a Princess and the Frog-inspired storyline. If you’re as hyped as we are for Tiana’s new attraction, then you’re going to love today’s news!
Magic Kingdom is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and for good reason!
Cinderella Castle
When it comes to the Disney Parks, especially Magic Kingdom, sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the “what’s next?” questions. In fact, some of the best parts about Magic Kingdom are the finer details wrapped up in nostalgia. How often do we take a step back and appreciate the little moments at Magic Kingdom that create lifelong memories?
Grab a glass, my friends… it’s POG Juice time!!!
POG Juice!
Oh, I’m sorry; what’s that you say? You’re not familiar with POG Juice? Well, allow me to explain: POG Juice is a truly delightful drink found at several restaurants around Disney World. “POG” stands for Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava — the fruit juices that come together to make this beloved beverage!
Of course, in order to drink POG Juice, you’ve gotta know where to find it first. And that’s where we come in! We’re filling you in on EVERYWHERE that you can get POG Juice in Disney World! [Read more…]
It’s hard to believe that the HUGE EPCOT transformation has almost come to an end.
EPCOT
As a result, so much of EPCOT (especially at the front of the park) looks COMPLETELY different. We even got three new attractions as a result, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. We also got a new addition to World Celebration, Dreamers Point, which features a brand new statue of Walt Disney. However, part of Dreamer’s Point has remained covered…until now!
We have been waiting for Disney to make some sort of announcement about what the future looks like for DinoLand, U.S.A. — and it looks like we might have an answer soon.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
No timeline has been officially announced, but after seeing the first permits filed back in March, we knew we’d be in business soon. While we still haven’t heard anything from Disney, we have another hint that things are moving forward for this retheme. Let’s get into the details!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
