food IS a theme park
It’s super rare, but it happens….
Magic Kingdom
Free samples at Disney World! We know that free samples aren’t usually the first thing you think of when visiting the parks because — after all — Disney is known for dollar signs more so than freebies.
Valentine’s Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate at Disney World.
Mickey and Minnie Valentine Plush
Disney World constantly has different events and specialty items to celebrate throughout the year. Disney will soon have lots of special treats for Black History Month in February and fun snacks for Valentine’s Day too. Now we found some new merchandise that has us feeling butterflies!
The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary celebrations kicked off last week in Disneyland, and with all of the focus on the West Coast you might have missed what’s been happening in Disney World.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
Chances are, most of the Disney World news you’ve probably heard of revolves around the closure of Splash Mountain and the opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run! But besides this Magic Kingdom news, there is also plenty going on in EPCOT too. Even Hollywood Studios is getting some attention! But what about Animal Kingdom? Don’t worry, we stay on top of the goings on in ALL of the parks, so keep reading for the latest!
TRON Lightcycle / Run will be opening soon in Magic Kingdom (April 4th!) but there’s a way for you to get a better glance at the ride right NOW.

Sure, you could stare at it from Tomorrowland, hop on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover for a view from the sky, or even get on the Walt Disney World Railroad to see the coaster from the train’s unique view. But there’s another way to get a closer look at the vehicles for this upcoming ride.
We’re in Disney World every day, and we’ve tried just about everything you can eat at the restaurants inside the parks and at the hotels. There are some truly fantastic snacks and meals, but there are also a few things you might want to skip. So which eats are which? We’re here to help you figure that out!

In January, we tried a ton of new snacks, returning eats, and classic staples. Some of those things made our “oh my gosh we have to eat this every single day” list, and others…not so much. Check out our complete list of the BEST and WORST things we ate in Disney World in January 2023. [Read more…]
Love is in the air and it smells really SWEET!
Sprinkles at Disney Springs
There’s no better way to wish a happy Valentine’s Day to your sweetheart than through yummy treats! We found a super fun gift idea that you can find in Disney Springs for this Valentine’s Day (which is very quickly approaching, BTW!).
The opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run is right around the corner!
TRON Sign
TRON officially opens on April 4th, and we recently found out tons of new information about the attraction. The ride will use Virtual Queue and Individual Lightning Lane, offer complimentary lockers for guests, and provide adaptive seating to those not comfortable using the bicycle seats. Now, we know even more about the important details of this ride: the minimum height requirement!
We love Cast Members!
Disney World
Disney World has been incredibly busy this year with the official closure of Splash Mountain, “new” nighttime shows coming to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and TRON opening in just a few months! While we have loved all of this news, it’s no secret that Cast Members are the reason Disney World functions. So today, Disney announced a change for a select few Cast Members.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented period of change within the Disney company. Just in the past year alone, we witnessed a dramatic CEO shakeup, the closure of a popular Magic Kingdom attraction, and currently we are preparing for the beginning of the official 100th Anniversary celebrations for the Walt Disney Company.
Orlando is preparing to welcome a LOT of new residents in the coming years
Disney is certainly sticking to their motto to “keep moving forward!” The Lake Nona project that started gaining traction in 2021 has just hit some important milestones, so we’re going to take a look at what’s in store for both the region and the Disney employees impacted by the relocation.
When it comes to visiting Disney World, planning ahead might be the best advice we can give!
Cinderella Castle
Things are always changing in the parks and resorts, and no two days are alike. We keep up with all the changes so you don’t have to, and we recently shared that you might want to avoid Magic Kingdom today as it’s closing early — but there’s actually a reason you might WANT to visit Magic Kingdom today!
