food IS a theme park
Alright LEGO fans, go ahead and get those wallets out!
Super Target
As you may know, Target Circle Week has officially arrived, and that means great deals on THOUSANDS of items, including clothing, beauty and personal care, baby care, groceries, entertainment, toys, electronics, home and kitchen, and more! However, we’ll admit when we checked out all the Circle Week deals this morning and saw a ton of LEGO sets on sale — yep, now is the time to buy those LEGO kits!
Oh, great. You just got off the plane and unpacked everything inside your Disney World hotel…and you realized you forgot your allergy medication. It might not sound like a huge deal, but when your eyes are itchy, and you’re stuck without a solution, that missing medicine can really start to take a toll. What can you do?!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
We don’t know about you, but when we’re on vacation, the LAST thing we want to do is waste precious vacation time going all the way to a pharmacy or grocery store. Well, if you find yourself in a pinch, one popular Disney World hotel has a GREAT solution!
If you’ve been planning to visit Disney World this week, we’re sure you’ve probably been paying attention to the latest weather news.
Magic Kingdom
If not, Tropical Storm Milton is forecasted to arrive and make landfall in Florida on Tuesday or Wednesday. By then, forecasters have estimated that it could be a Category 3 hurricane. Ahead of the storm, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a State of Emergency for 35 counties, including the counties where Disney World is. So you might be wondering if you should still go to Disney World or if you should cancel your trip. We’re going to go through what you need to know before you make that decision.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because it has dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
Cinderella Castle
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on NEW hotel discounts, a NEW pop-up shop at Disney Springs, and A park attraction closing PERMANENTLY next week. Let’s check it out! [Read more…]
We’re willing to bet you’re walking right past one of the best parts of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and you’re not even realizing it!
Tune-In Lounge
We’re on a mission to tell you about some of the grossly underrated Disney World lounges in the parks AND hotels, and we’re telling you, it doesn’t get much more immersive than this one!
With more than 25 hotels, it can be a bit of a challenge trying to pick which Disney World hotel for your next trip to Disney World.
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Also, you have three different tiers — Value, Moderate, Deluxe — and all the various amenities that come with each. And on top of that, Disney’s been doing a lot of renovations, so maybe the resort you want to choose, might be in the middle of a multi-year renovation project. Speaking of renovations, there’s one Disney World hotel that is just about to finish a multi-month renovation project in November and Disney has shared how those remodeled rooms look. Well, let’s just say that the finished product has fans divided. You shared your thoughts on the rooms, so let’s talk about!
Things are about to get pricier in Disney World.
Lightning Lane
Now is the time when we start seeing food prices increase at Disney World restaurants. We also just recently found out that ticket prices are going up for 2025. We recently saw the highest price YET for Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Disney’s paid service to skip the standby lines at rides. Well, we’re now seeing a new price for Lightning Lane Multi Pass that it is even higher for the end of the month.
We’ve seen some…rather interesting souvenirs in Disney World.
Creations Shop
Some are just crazy expensive, like that crystal version of Cinderella Castle in Crystal Arts in Magic Kingdom (we’ll buy this when we when the lottery). Then there was the Figment Popcorn Bucket that dropped in 2022 and caused sheer chaos in EPCOT. Some souvenirs, though, are just so OUT there, so OUTRAGEOUS, that we wonder why Disney decided to sell them.
It’s hurricane season in Florida, which means we have to be weather-aware about potential storms in the Atlantic Ocean through November.
Pop Century Resort
We’ve already seen some hurricanes come through the Orlando area, including Hurricane Debby and, most recently, Hurricane Helene, which developed into an impactful hurricane, affecting property and lives throughout the Southeast. Last week, the National Hurricane Center began watching another potential development in the Gulf of Mexico, which became a tropical storm and is now forecasted to become a hurricane before it reaches Florida. In fact, a State of Emergency was declared for many counties in Florida, including the Disney World area. Now, Disney World is beginning to respond to the potential storm ahead of its arrival in Florida.
