food IS a theme park
January has been a busy month, and now Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!
Valentine’s Day is almost here!
While we were focusing on things like the closing of Splash Mountain and the Walt Disney Company 100th Anniversary, the holiday snuck up on us.
It’s hard not to just buy ALL the Disney things.
100th Anniversary merchandise
We get it. We understand why you might get suckered in by new ears, or those cute Munchlings plushes (Disney characters as FOOD? Yes, please!). We also love Disney home and kitchen goods. What we love even more, though, is a good sale — and there’s one going on right now, but NOT FOR MUCH LONGER.
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2023, you probably have a lot of planning ahead of you.
Cinderella Castle
From park pass reservations and hotels to Genie+ and dining reservations — it can be overwhelming and add up pretty quickly. Luckily, we’ve eaten at every single restaurant in Disney World and we know which ones are worth your time — and your money. We’ve rounded up the BEST restaurants for the value at Disney World in 2023!
Disneyland is THE place to be in 2023.
100th Anniversary Sleeping Beauty Castle
SO much fun stuff is happening there right now. You’ve got the 100th Anniversary Celebration, which has brought new decor, a NEW castle makeover, new treats, and more to the resort. There’s also a brand new ride that just opened, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, PLUS the NEW Toontown will be opening soon, too! So what if you could win a free trip to Disneyland?
It’s finally happening! We have an official opening date for TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom.
TRON Lightcycle / Run sign
We don’t have to wait long — the ride will open on April 4th! We’ve already learned a LOT more about it, including how it will have a virtual queue and be an Individual Lightning Lane option on Genie+. We also know guests will need to use lockers before they ride the attraction. Now, we want to point out an important detail about the ride’s seating.
If there’s one thing that’s for certain at Disney, it’s that things are always changing.
Cinderella Castle
That’s never been more evident than as of late — with CEO shakeups, potential battles over Disney’s board, attraction updates, and more hitting the company in the last three months alone. Park passes were also recently hit with changes in Disney World and Disneyland, and fans are hoping that could be a signal that more park pass changes are on the way. While Disney has shared that they won’t be going away anytime soon, here are two BIG ways the Disney World park pass system could change in 2023.
Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.
Splash Mountain is closed
Before you head out the door on your next Disney World trip, you’ll want to know what’s NOT going to be available while you’re there. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here! [Read more…]
Are you a big Star Wars fan? Have you visited Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, either in Disney World or Disneyland?
Stormtroopers in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
This land is a MUST for Star Wars fans, and in addition to piloting the Millennium Falcon and escaping the First Order, you can also have a drink in a Star Wars-inspired cantina and build your own lightsaber and droid. Now, two of those experiences just got a lot cheaper.
It wouldn’t be a celebration of Disney history if no one acknowledged Mary Poppins! The iconic titular character from one of Disney’s most popular films can sometimes be seen inside the parks, and even has her own bakery on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland.
We’re back at Jolly Holiday
Right now Disney is celebrating its 100th Anniversary at the Disneyland resort, where guests can enjoy new nighttime shows, purchase collectibles, and try out lots of treats! Jolly Holiday Bakery, the Mary Poppins-themed locale for tasty snacks, is one spot where you can find 100th Anniversary items. You can view a FULL list of all of the 100th Anniversary treats in Disneyland here, but keep reading to see what we thought of these new snacks!
Why are our tongues stained purple?
Look at that medallion!
Well, that’s because it’s time for Disneyland’s big celebration for the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. So we’re AT Disneyland checking out the new nighttime shows, all kinds of celebratory souvenirs, and — as you might expect, FOOD! Here’s the thing — a LOT of that food is purple, including a snack we’re trying RIGHT NOW.
