Could Key Lime Cheesecake ICE CREAM Come to Disney World SOON?

Salt & Straw is heading to Disney Springs VERY soon!

We can’t wait!

The family-run ice cream chain is known for its unique, frequently changing flavors (like banana and avocado sorbet or brown ale and bacon). Salt & Straw uses locally sourced ingredients, and makes flavors that have an emphasis on community connections. While this ice cream shop already has a number of other locations — including one in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort — we are eagerly anticipating its April 20th opening date in Disney Springs! Until then, all we can do is drool over Salt & Straw’s latest flavor (and you might drool too because it sounds amazing!).

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America — there are a LOT of Marvel superheroes (and super villains!) out there. But some heroes, the movies/shows they were featured in, and the actors who portrayed them just got special recognition.

In the film Eternals, Marvel introduced a superhero who is deaf, Makkari, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the Disney+ series Hawkeye, Marvel introduced another super-powered character who is deaf, Echo. Both roles were portrayed by deaf actors.

Should I Cancel Cable and Get Hulu + Live TV Instead? The PROS and CONS.

By Jenna Saxton 1 Comment

Let’s face it – watching TV isn’t as simple as it used to be. 📺 Gone are the days when you had to settle for watching an episode of Friends that you’d already seen 50+ times. Now, you can binge the ENTIRE series in one go (which would actually be REALLY impressive and time consuming 😂) or watch anything else that your heart desires anywhere, anytime thanks to all the streaming services that are out there.

But, there’s a dark side to all this — you can end up being subscribed to SO many different services that you just can’t keep it all straight. To answer this problem, Hulu (of which Disney is the majority/controlling shareholder) has come up with (what they likely think is) the PERFECT solution — Hulu + Live TV. There’s been a lot of talk about just how great this service is, but is it actually right for you and your family? Let’s weigh the pros and cons!

Disney World Guests Confess They Planned a Trip Just to Ride a NEW Coaster

By Madison Owens 2 Comments

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening up SOON in Disney World — May 27th, to be exact! We’ve been waiting on this ride to open for what feels like soooo long, and the anticipation just keeps building because Disney has been showing us more and more of the ride. We’ve seen various parts of the queue, the entrance area, the loading area, and even the ride vehicles.

We’re getting closer!

We expect it will be VERY busy in EPCOT on opening day (especially because of what Park Pass Reservations are looking like right now!), but we wanted to know if people were planning their trips JUST for the ride. So, we reached out to all of YOU and asked the question, and we got some interesting answers!

By Isabelle Deveaux Leave a Comment

If you ask us, coffee is a very important part of Disney World.

New cup alert!

We seriously need a caffeine boost during our Disney Parks days, and Joffrey’s doesn’t tend to disappoint. They’ve got some great coffee we’ve tried in the parks like this game changing drink, and Princess coffee! If you can’t make it to the parks and still need your Joffrey’s fill, there’s somewhere else you can go.
