food IS a theme park
We’ve done EVERY SINGLE ride in Disney World. And we know the best tips and secrets for all of them!
Magic Kingdom
Besides doing every ride, we’ve used Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes dozens of times in the parks, which means that we have quite a bit of experience with handling those systems. That’s why, today, we’re here to tell you about the BEST Individual Lightning Lane in Disney World…and we’ve got proof.
Okay, hear us out. Family vacations in Disney World can be amazing, but they can also be…a lot.

First, you’ve gotta make sure everyone has packed everything they need, then keep in mind everyone’s top “must do” items so no one gets upset, and be ready to roll with the punches because who knows what twists the parks might throw at you. Family vacations mean you get to see everyone’s different vacation styles, and sometimes those different styles are…less than compatible.
Besides the wait times, park hours, and park maps, Mobile Order is one of the most useful features of the My Disney Experience app!

Using the system in Disney World will often help you get your meals faster than if you waited in line, and it makes it easier to order when you can see the whole menu right there on your phone. A while back, Disney updated the Mobile Order system in the app to make it a bit easier to use, and when they did, they made a change that you probably didn’t know about!
There are lots of good places to meet characters in Disney World. You can meet Mickey at Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom, say hello to Anna and Elsa in the Norway pavilion of EPCOT‘s World Showcase, and watch lots of characters go by on floats on the Discovery River in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Hey, Mickey!
But there’s one lesser-known character spot that we think you REALLY need to know about! [Read more…]
We often talk about the souvenirs that you can buy in the Disney World parks and at Disney Springs…but what about the shopping at the HOTELS?

You can often find unique souvenirs in the hotel gift shops, including items that are exclusive to your resort. We’ve seen resort-specific Minnie ears and accessories many times in the past, and now there’s a NEW Loungefly collection for one popular hotel!
Are you packing for Disney World? You’re probably bringing lots of casual clothes to wear in the Florida heat — or if you’re headed there in the winter, you might need to bring some layers.
Hey, Mickey!
But do you need dressier clothes? That’s the question we’re helping you answer today!
We love a good throwback, and this time, we’re throwing it as far back as we possibly can…to opening day of Walt Disney World!
Orange bird ornament
Orange Bird is a popular character in Disney World, with lots of merchandise and treats dedicated to him. But did you know when Magic Kingdom first opened there was a drink dedicated to him? And now you can make it at home! [Read more…]
WHY, Disney. Just…why.
Cinderella Castle
There are some Disney food trends that we can 100% get behind, like chicken and waffles everywhere, experimental ice cream flavors, and Totchos showing up at hotel food courts. Those all sound fantastic to us. But we probably will never, NEVER be excited about eating zombie fingers…right?? [Read more…]
There are plenty of ways your Disney World trip may not exactly go as planned.
Magic Kingdom
Those intense summer thunderstorms might make you miss a ride, maybe you chose the absolute wrong pair of shoes to wear (protip: never wear new shoes to the parks), or perhaps a show you were looking forward to gets canceled. And, if you’re staying in a Disney World hotel, there’s something else you might need to be worried about.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
