food IS a theme park
We’re only a few months away from the opening of Epic Universe in Orlando and the excitement just keeps building!

We’re expecting to see very heavy crowds around the new park for quite some time after its opening due to its popularity (which could mean Disney World sees lower crowds this summer — we’ll have to wait and see!), and we’re preparing ourselves to run around the park as fast as we can to capture everything and report back to you ASAP. However, Universal just released a photo that gives us a fun insight into the new park!
All four Disney World parks are prepping for some pretty big changes this year.
Toy Story Land
We originally thought Disney’s Hollywood Studios would be left mostly unscathed, but alas, it was announced that the new Monsters, Inc. land would be taking over Muppets Courtyard and the Muppets would be moving to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and we’re expecting those changes to begin later this year. In fact, a lot of these changes could make the parks more crowded, so beware!
We’re doing something COMPLETELY new today!
Hard Rock Hotel
We’re looking into Universal Orlando’s BEST hotels so YOU know where to stay to get the GREATEST Uni benefits during your 2025 visit.
Another day, another new Disney World snack! Okay, okay, technically this snack isn’t exclusive to Disney World, but we’re excited about it all the same.
Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom
Disney World is home to several different Starbucks locations (though you may find them under different names in the parks!) and that means when new snacks come to Starbucks, they come to Disney World too! A new vegan snack has rolled out and we’re spilling everything you need to know about it in this review.
Let’s talk travel!
Let’s go somewhere!
When it comes to planning your ultimate Disney trip, there are lots of things to take into consideration like flights, hotels, and more! One change to be aware of? One Florida-based airline has filed for bankruptcy.
There are a lot of rules in Disney World.
Disney Bus
Most of them are relatively simple, rules that you find at most theme parks, but others are specific to Disney. For example, children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by someone over the age of 14 to board an attraction, and they can be specific about what clothing is allowed in the parks (other companies don’t seem to care either way unless it’s really inappropriate), just to name a few. We have to admit, too — we so wish Disney would do away with this transportation rule because it would make all our lives so much easier!
Picture this: You’re strolling through Disney World on your vacation a few years from now, and as you make your way out of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you suddenly enter… the town of Springfield from The Simpsons. Wait, what?
The Simpsons land at Universal Hollywood
Technically, Disney owns Fox — which is the home of Homer, Bart, and the rest of the Simpsons family — so it’s not too far of a stretch. And, according to a new survey being sent to Disney park guests, it could actually happen.
Happy New Year! It’s 2025, and a LOT of exciting things are coming to Disney World this year.
Trader Sam’s Tahitian Torch
We’ve got new shows, a new nighttime parade, new lands beginning construction, and SO MUCH MORE to look forward to. We’ve even got a few new dining spots, including a Pirates of the Caribbean tavern and a Spaceship Earth lounge. However, now that the New Year has started, Disney World has been busy adjusting some of its existing restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s changed this week.
MagicBands are not required in Disney World, but they can help make your trip easier as they can be used to scan into the parks, scan into Lightning Lane, unlock your hotel room door, and charge purchases to your hotel room.
MagicBand+
PLUS, they can interact with various elements around Disney World to add a little bit of magic to your trip. Try waving at the Fab 50 character statues around the park, and pay attention to your MagicBand during attractions and fireworks shows. You might just experience a light show and some special haptics! [Read more…]
