Take our hand and travel with us to a galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
Okay, so maybe it’s not THAT far away, but it is in Disneyland, where we’re going to visit the planet of Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Here, if you know what you’re looking for, you can find two HIDDEN snacks, and these are two items you’ll ONLY find on one spot.
Royal guest rooms, southern cuisine, and personal riverboat rides? Could this moderate resort be THE Disney resort for you?

It’s been a wild time for annual passes lately.
Annual Passholder card
Yesterday, April 20th, all Disney World Annual Passes went back on sale and it was…well, a bit of a mess. For over a year, three out of the four pass types were unavailable for new purchases, so tons of people were looking to get their hands on one yesterday. The website struggled to handle all of the demand, and some people had to wait HOURS in the online queue before they could buy a pass. Eventually, Disney paused the process overnight — but sales resumed this morning. And we were shocked to see the changes.
One of the most highly anticipated upcoming Disney movies is The Haunted Mansion. This film, based on the popular theme park ride, is coming out this summer, and we just got a new look at the movie!

D23 (Disney’s official fan club) showed off a few new magazine covers recently, and one of them reveals a sneak peek at the upcoming film.
There are a lot of things you can buy in Disney World to make your trip a little easier, a little less stressful, and a little more convenient.
Refillable mugs
We’re talking about things like Genie+, which lets you skip long standby lines at rides and access shorter Lightning Lanes. Or maybe you like paying for prix fixe meals, where you know exactly what you’ll pay up front to eat. Not everyone agrees on the worth of those things, but when it comes to another Disney World convenience, almost ALL of our readers feel it’s worth it.
There are lots of Disney secrets that many guests may have no idea about.
Art of Animation Resort
Disney Cast Members sometimes use special codes to communicate with each other, we’ve spotted many hidden details in Disney art, and did you know about the Subway restaurant UNDERNEATH Magic Kingdom? We stopped by Disney’s Art of Animation Resort recently and found a hidden secret we’re betting you don’t know!
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating 100 years in 2023!
Happy 100th Anniversary!
We’re seeing surprises pop up in the parks as the year goes on, and the celebration is finally making its way into Disney World now that its 50th Anniversary celebration has ended. If you won’t be in the parks soon but want to celebrate AND you’re a big shoe fan, you can’t miss this big news!
The return of all Disney World Annual Pass sales has been a rocky one, to say the least.
Annual Passholder Card
This morning, April 20th, 2023, all Annual Pass types for Disney World went back on sale after most passes were unavailable for new sales for over a year. With such high demand for the passes, Disney World’s website was apparently overwhelmed and many people had to wait several hours in an online queue before having the chance to buy a pass. That demand has stayed high, and Disney has announced how they plan to handle pass sales overnight.
We’re halfway to Halloween, and we’re getting ready to celebrate. What better way to celebrate than by grabbing a tasty drink in a spooky souvenir mug?

The Trader Sam’s Haunted Mansion Gargoyle Tiki Mug has been a huge hit for Haunted Mansion-loving Disney fans for the past two years. The first edition of this mug came out in 2021, and the second edition came out in 2022. In honor of Disney’s 2023 Halfway to Halloween celebration, a third edition of this mug has arrived, and we’re off to try to snag one! While this is the third mug that Disney has released in this set, this is the FIRST one that has arrived at Disney World! Follow along to see what the process of purchasing one is like so that you can get one of your own.
Walt Disney World can be EXPENSIVE. Surprising…I know! 😉 Depending on how you plan, that price tag can skyrocket. We’ve shared lots of tips on how to save money on your Disney vacation, but there are some unavoidable expenses that you’ll run into along the way.
How much does WDW food really cost?
Once you’re at Disney World, you’ll probably be eating all of your meals there. Avoid sticker shock by looking at menus before you arrive! Disney has over 400 restaurants to choose from and there’s a pretty big variety of options and costs.
Disney dining can be pricey!
Price increases continue to impact a lot of food options throughout the restaurants at Walt Disney World. (In early 2022, we saw HUNDREDS (literally, hundreds) of price increases impact restaurants and snack spots throughout Disney World. Popcorn refills & popcorn buckets, DOLE Whip floats, Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, Mickey waffles, alcoholic drinks, and MORE all went up in price.)
