food IS a theme park
It’s happening, people!
It’s Almost Here!
After years and years of waiting, TRON Lightcycle / Run is finally opening in Disney World. The new coaster opens to guests on April 4th, 2023, though some previews were already held that gave many guests (including us) an up-close look at the ride, its locker system, and a FULL ride through. Disney previously shared that the new ride would utilize a virtual queue once it officially opens to guests, and now we have details on exactly how it will work!
Ever since Bob Iger took back over as Disney CEO, we’ve heard quite a few interesting comments about the future of the company.

We’ve seen changes in leadership and organization, we’ve had announcements for updates in the parks, and Iger has even revealed plans for new films in the works. Things are definitely being modified to help the company push forward! So how is Disney’s theme parks division REALLY doing nowadays? Iger had some thoughts during a recent interview.
Bob Iger has only been back as Disney’s CEO for a few months, but we’ve already seen some massive changes made.

Free parking is back at Disney World’s hotels, a Park Pass change has been announced, a massive restructuring of the Company has been revealed to fix a Bob Chapek “mistake,” and Iger has hinted at some other changes that could mark a “stark reversal in strategy” at the Company. Now, he’s discussed another matter where he and Chapek might not have necessarily seen eye to eye.

We’re roaming through Disneyland Resort to identify what you need to make plans to check out and budget to eat this year!

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Many health and safety regulations have been changing across Disney Parks all around the world, and one Disney Park is updating their guidelines.
Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland
Tokyo Disneyland is looking forward to several upcoming changes, including a 40th-anniversary celebration right around the corner and new lands coming soon.
Beauty and the Beast Attraction!
Now the park is seeing changes to its COVID-19 face mask policy, as it relates to the “Amusement Park and Theme Park New Coronavirus Infection Containment Guidelines.”
We cannot start our day without a hot beverage, whether it’s tea, coffee, or even hot chocolate. If you looked inside our cabinets, you’d see our never-ending collection of Disney mugs (you can never have too many)!
So many mugs!
It seems like shopDisney has given us even more reason to start our day with some Disney magic, no matter where we are!

We’re gearing up for some big changes soon in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve got the grand opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run on April 4th, but before that happens, two major fireworks shows are ending their run at Disney World — Harmonious and Disney Enchantment. Disney Enchantment is being replaced by its predecessor, Happily Ever After, and it looks like Disney is getting ready for the return of the show.
When you think about Disney, you typically imagine blue skies, sunshine, and Florida heat!
Sunshine, blue skies, and Florida HEAT!
While the Florida heat is all too real, especially throughout the summer, it can get cold FAST in Florida — with little to no warning! There have been times when we’ve packed for a week long trip, expecting high temperatures and sunshine, but ended up having to buy sweatshirts and ponchos because it got CHILLY!
It’s true. All good things must come to an end, and with those endings come new beginnings. (How was that for a cheesy pep talk?)
50th Anniversary Mickey Statue
We’re talking about the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World! As you may already know, this celebration will end on March 31st, 2023. At this time, we’ll have to say goodbye to many of the things we’ve held dear for the past 18 months. We were hoping that some fan-favorite 50th Anniversary menu items would stick around after the party ended, but we just found out that at least one treat will be leaving along with the celebration.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
