food IS a theme park
If you like to get ahead on your holiday shopping, we’re right there with ya!
The Holidays at Disney World!
We don’t like waiting until the last minute and scrambling for gifts. We prefer to start as early as possible. When a cute item pops up that would be absolutely perfect for one of our loved ones, we grab it ASAP! That’s why when we spotted an ADORABLE new Advent calendar available for pre-order on Amazon, we grabbed one for all our nieces, nephews, and our own kids.
We still are not over all the new and exciting announcements from D23!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
In case you missed it, D23, The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, took place earlier this month in Anaheim, California, and Disney gave us a glimpse at a bunch of new projects. During the Park Panel, we found out about additions coming to Disney Cruise Line, the international parks, Disneyland, and, of course, Disney World. Each of Disney World’s four parks is slated to get new additions. While it has been a long time coming, it was officially announced that DinoLand U.S.A. will transform into a Tropical Americas Land by 2027. There were three rides announced for this overhaul, but people seem only to be talking about two of the attractions.
Can you believe that we are nearing the end of August already?!
Magic Kingdom
Spooky season is in full swing at Disney World as we enter September. Schools have started in many parts of the country, and fall is just around the corner. Now is one of the times that people love going to Disney World. The temperatures begin to cool off, the fall and Halloween decorations are the favorites for many people, and since school has started the crowds aren’t always as busy as in the middle of the summer. However, there are a few mistakes that we worry people may make if they’re headed to the parks in September. So here are a few reminders to help you plan your next trip!
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week (including some for spooky season!). If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
EPCOT
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 a popular EPCOT Show being extended, four exclusive new perks for an upcoming Disney resort hotel, and the medals revealed for the 2025 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
We’ll just let y’all know that we LOVE EPCOT. It’s funny because as kids, many of us thought it wasn’t all that great (granted, there’s a LOT more for kids to enjoy at EPCOT now), but as adults, EPCOT could be our favorite park in Disney World.
EPCOT Monorail
One, you can literally travel AROUND the world in a day, shopping for souvenirs from each country, eating around the world, drinking around the world (and we have a warning about that in a bit), and more. Plus you’ve got the EVER classic Spaceship Earth, and one of our personal favorite chill rides of all time, Living With The Land (don’t come at us because we don’t play when it comes to this ride). But there are some truths about this park that could have you regretting your decisions.
It’s almost time for the first Oogie Boogie Bash of 2024 at Disney California Adventure!
Halloween at Disney California Adventure
The first party of the season is on August 25th! If you don’t know, Oogie Boogie Bash is the Halloween party in Disney California Adventure. It’s a fun time of trick-or-treating, Halloween entertainment, hanging out with Disney Villains, and of course, eating tasty seasonal snacks. Disney Villains at Oogie Boogie Bash are some of the best parts of the party. You get to see them in their true evil environment in all their glamour. This year, Disney has shared a sneak peek of a new villain joining the party!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! Recently, an interesting pattern of wait times has developed, and we need to discuss it.
Storm clouds over the Magic Kingdom…
Disney World saw one of its most iconic — and popular — attractions return this week. Peter Pan’s Flight ended its refurb early and immediately changed the wait times landscape at the Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, guests continued to get used to the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system.
Recently, a serious accident happened during the production of a Disney project.
The Walt Disney Company headquarters in California
The incident occurred in February while Disney was producing a Marvel series titled Wonder Man. The accident resulted in the death of Juan Carlos Osorio, and now, Disney has been fined for its part in the accident. Here are the details.
If you are a fan of both LEGO and Disney, we have some good news for you!
LEGO Store in Disney Springs
If you were looking for a sign to buy a new LEGO set, well, this is it! Six Disney LEGO sets are currently on sale on Amazon, and of course, we have to share them with you!
Some pretty awesome things happened with Disney World food this week.
Y’all! Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs has arrived in Disney World!!!
First, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs at Disney’s BoardWalk FINALLY OPENED. Yes, we finally got our Pickle Dog. We’ve only waited FOREVER for this day. We also had an AMAZING meal (well, ANOTHER amazing meal) at Takumi-Tei in EPCOT. And maybe, most importantly, THE NEW STARBUCKS FALL MENU DROPPED. However, we also saw some changes with Disney World restaurant menus, and well, we’re going to tell you about them.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
