food IS a theme park
It feels like there’s always something new happening in the Disney parks.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Disney World alone has Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the updated Country Bear Jamboree show in progress in Magic Kingdom, as well as refurbishments coming up soon for Test Track in EPCOT. But now Disney has also started casting for the brand new show that’s coming this fall!
Today, we’re headed over to Paradiso 37!
Let’s go!
You can find Paradiso 37 over at The Landing at Disney Springs! It’s surrounded by a ton of different shopping options, other places to dine, and of course — water! This waterfront option has plenty of seating and a ton of different food options to choose from. If you’re looking for drink options — look no further! Paradiso 37 features a wall of Tequila with over 37 different options for you to choose from.
Grab your bags, we’re headed to Paradiso 37!
February is Black History Month and Disney is celebrating “soulfully.”
Magic Kingdom
Throughout February, you can find new special treats all around Disney World. We got really excited when we found out that Tiana’s famous beignets were making an appearance in Magic Kingdom! But it’s not just in the parks that you’ll find sweet treats celebrating Black History Month; the hotels are also offering some special snacks, too. We stopped by one of the five hotel locations that are serving a Mini Red Velvet Cake to “celebrate Soulfully.”
If you’re a fan of the Haunted Mansion, then there’s a good chance you’ve wandered into Memento Mori in Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
Memento Mori
If you’ve never been inside the spooky but quaint gift shop that’s nestled right next to the Haunted Mansion ride, you absolutely MUST go if you consider yourself a fan of the Mansion and its lore. The shop is filled to the brim with strictly Haunted Mansion-themed souvenirs — from clothing to paintings. The design of the shop is also a continuation of the ride’s story, and is said to be Madame Leota’s former residence. Throughout the shop, you’ll find all sorts of decor and Easter eggs, which is what we’re here to talk about.
We LOVE our Disney World hacks.

We may be in the midst of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, but that doesn’t mean Disney isn’t already preparing for the next EPCOT event!
Flower and Garden Festival (2023)
The 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival kicks off on February 28th and runs through May 27th, bringing incredible topiaries, exciting eats, and of course — exclusive souvenirs to the park. But, this year’s festival will also include something new that has taken Disney World by storm and we’re bringing you a sneak peek!
It’s been nearly five months since the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser took its final voyage.
Galactic Starcruiser room
The Star Wars themed hotel permanently shut its doors on September 30th, 2023. Since then, many Disney fans have wondered what will take over the space — if anything at all. Fans paid tribute to the closed hotel by tying ribbons to the gate that used to lead to the hotel, but Cast Members soon closed the area off. Now, the passageway to the former hotel is being used for something else entirely!
Disney World Cast Members have their own language when things happen in the parks.
Cast Members have codes for everything
Most of the time, the language is there to keep folks from panicking. Because you’d rather hear about a “Code A,” than hear that someone has dumped a deceased loved one’s ashes in Haunted Mansion (yep, that happens). A “Code V” happens when someone gets sick on a ride (yep, that happens, too). A “Code 101” is when a ride goes down unexpectedly. Well, what if you hear a Cast Member refer to a “Signal 70?” Well, we’ll tell you that it’s not happy news.
Are you planning a trip to Disney World, soon?

If you’re a Disney+ subscriber, Disney has created special benefits exclusively for you! You can get discounts, perks, merchandise, and more periodically. While many of these aren’t specifically for your Disney World vacation, one certainly is, and time is running out to take advantage of it!
So many new snacks and treats have debuted around Disney World’s parks and hotels recently, and while we love a good sweet treat, we were really excited to try out something savory.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been chomping at the bit to try out some of the new savory items released with the Celebrate Soulfully creations since Disney’s announcement. Now that the time has come, let’s take a look at what we thought of two of these new items! [Read more…]
