food IS a theme park
It’s hard to believe that Disney World’s big 50th anniversary celebration will be over soon!
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
We’ve enjoyed the anniversary celebration so much. We love the 50th anniversary version of Cinderella Castle, all the gold character statues, and all that great food! We’ve also really enjoyed the merchandise. But get this — even MORE 50th anniversary merchandise is coming soon!Â
You might think you could never have too many pairs of Mickey ears, but is there a limit?
Let’s head to Animal Kingdom!
We’re only days away from Christmas, so we have been focused on last-minute shopping! From finding new deals on Amazon to hunting for gifts for the Disney lovers in your life, to even finding new collections you can order online, we’ve been busy! Now, we think we found the perfect gift for the Disney fan who already has everything.
Alright, sports fans, we’ve got some great news for you!
Wide World of Sports
The ESPN Wide World of Sports in Disney World hosted the Warrior Games this year, and many runDisney races utilize the space for their events. However, there will be new users of this space soon — the Tampa Bay Rays will use the facility for their Spring Training!
Hello from Disney Springs!
Disney Springs the weekend before Christmas!
We recently saw some price increases hit some Disney Springs restaurants, and crowds were definitely pretty heavy this past weekend, but that was to be expected since it is the week before Christmas! There’s been lots of other news around this shopping & dining district, so let’s catch you up on everything we’ve seen in Disney Springs recently.
Did you know that Disney World hotels have their own set of rules?
Art of Animation
For example, if you’re bringing your pet to Disney World, there are only a few specific hotels where they can stay with you. Before you visit, you’ll want to know about the hotel rules where you’re staying! And that includes this seasonal transportation restriction. [Read more…]
It’s Christmas week, and there’s a lot happening in Disney World!
Holiday crowds in Magic Kingdom
We’ve tried holiday snacks, seen holiday entertainment, and shopped DOZENS of holiday merchandise items, but there’s so much more than just the seasonal news to check out in the parks. We’ve been to Magic Kingdom multiple times in the past week and we’re sharing all the updates from the park that you completely missed!
Disney World has come a long way since the parks first reopened after the pandemic-related closures.
Chef Mickey’s
Experiences began returning in phases, character interactions were modified, and buffets switched to family-style or prix fixe meals instead. We’ve seen a lot of that change recently, with many restaurants returning to buffet service. And now, another Disney World restaurant is switching back to a buffet!
There are lots of times when you’ll need to whip out that credit card before and during your Disney World trip. (You’ll see proof of that on your credit card bills after your trip. 😳)
You’ve Got to Be PREPARED for Anything in Disney World
For starters, you’ve got to buy your park tickets to actually get in and experience the magic. Then, you’ve got to decide where you’re staying (unfortunately you can’t sleep in the Disney World theme parks 😂). And throughout your trip, you’ll need to pay for snacks, souvenirs, and much more. Your first thought may be to use your credit/debit card to pay for most or all of these things (and maybe you’ll rely on your MagicBand to pay since they can typically be connected to your credit card), but there are a few reasons why you should always carry multiple forms of payment with you. If you don’t, you may encounter a serious issue.
If you’re going to Disney World soon, you need to make sure you’re caught up on all the latest news.
