Disney Is Lying to You About Dining Reservations — We Can Help

By 2 Comments

We’ve all been there — we’re up at 5:30AM, 60 days before our Disney World trip, waiting for 6AM to hit so that we can book those coveted dining reservations at all of our favorite Disney restaurants. We have our list ready of all the most important spots to hit, and then — FINALLY — it’s time! We search for open reservation times…and search…and search…and then that sinking feeling starts to creep in.

It’s absolutely DEVASTATING when you don’t get the Disney World dining reservations you were hoping for! All that great food, just outside of your reach. (Can you tell we have strong feelings about Disney food? 😂) But wait — all hope is not lost. Sure, it looks like you’re out of luck. But is Disney actually LYING to you?? [Read more…]

There’s SO MUCH to do in Disney World — you can hop on the new TRON Lightcycle / Run roller coaster, check out the Broadway-style “Festival of the Lion King” show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and eat around the world at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. But there are a couple of things that you CAN’T do in Disney World next week due to ride and attraction closures.

Things May Have Gotten a Little Rowdy in EPCOT’s German Train Town…

By 3 Comments

Ever look at someone and think to yourself, “What’s their story?” We know we’re not the only ones; Disney made a whole movie dedicated to what goes on inside our heads!

Ever wondered, “What is going on inside their head?”

During a recent trip to EPCOT, we passed by a teeeeny tiny little village full of people with all sorts of backstories and lives we can only view from a giant’s perspective. If you’re in the mood for a laugh on this fine afternoon, you’ve come to the right place.

By Leave a Comment

EPCOT is very busy right now, thanks to the start of the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

We were at the festival on day one and ate ALL the things, and we started to notice that some unwelcome visitors have returned to EPCOT to create some buzz (yes, we’re feeling punny). We’ve dealt with these creatures before, and well, they’re back to create some havoc at this year’s festival. Yes, you guessed it — the BEES are back.

By Leave a Comment

Tower of Terror

Whether that’s something that looks gross (like some of the new Halloween snacks that were announced) or because one ride posts a multi-hour wait time, cringe-worthy things are all around. This week, that cringe-y thing is one of the most popular rides in Disney World — Tower of Terror.

Well, we survived the first day of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.

2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

We managed to eat ALL the food, and even made our way through Emile’s Montage Fromage (the cheese crawl). We chased a rat all over EPCOT for a scavenger hunt and enjoyed a concert and a special Spaceship Earth lighting show at the end of the evening. Well, we went back to EPCOT on the first Saturday of the festival (July 29th), and well, we’re going to warn you to NEVER do that.

Disney World Souvenirs You Should Buy BEFORE They Raise the Prices

By Leave a Comment

We’ve spent an ABSURD amount of money on souvenirs in Disney World.

Disney100 Merchandise

Like, if we went back just over the last decade and tallied it all up with the members of our team, we wouldn’t be surprised if we could buy a CAR with that amount of money. And some of that is because we’re suckers for a cool merchandise collection, but some of it is because Disney souvenirs are just so darn expensive! Just when we think they can’t get any pricier, Disney goes and raises prices again (we’ve seen it happen a lot!). So today, we’re sharing the 6 souvenirs you should buy before Disney World raises the price…AGAIN.
