food IS a theme park
Disney Springs is one of those Disney World spots you may feel tempted to skip. But should you?
Disney Springs
Not if you enjoy shopping and eating! Disney Springs is home to lots of incredible dining, shopping, and more, and this week we found some new eats AND merch! Check it out here.
If you’re reading this, we can almost guarantee that you like saving money when you travel. I mean, who doesn’t?! One of the best ways to do that is to book with a budget airline to save money on travel.
Orlando International Airport
There are several great budget options out there, and recently, there has been a stir in the world of budget airlines as Frontier Airlines seeks to purchase and merge with Spirit Airlines. The potential merger was made more complicated when JetBlue stepped up and ALSO made a sizable offer. So what’s going to happen? Well, the CEO of Frontier has some thoughts.
UPDATE: The Gran Fiesta Tour attraction opened later in the day, and we were able to ride it. We didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary at the time.
Things at Disney World might be magical and fun, but they’re not always perfect.
EPCOT
Technical difficulties, a fire, and other issues can impact Disney rides and parks, ultimately leading to evacuations or temporary closures. We’ve been evacuated from our fair share of Disney spots in the past, and today we got to experience another evacuation in EPCOT.
In Disney World, we’ll take advantage of all the freebies we can get — from commemorative park maps to celebration buttons, it’s so much fun to collect little souvenirs from the parks! If you ever find yourself browsing the gift shops in Disney World, you know that Disney merchandise isn’t cheap, so any time there’s a deal or special discount, we make sure to share ALL the details!
We LOVE free stuff!
There’s a new deal on shopDisney that might help you save a little money; let’s take a look!
If you’re planning on flying to Disney World this summer, you’re going to want to be PREPARED. Prepared for what you ask? Well, a few things.
In the Air
For one, there’s the cost. We’ve already looked at what the estimated cost to fly to Disney World in May looks like, but (as you likely know) costs can be ever-changing. The rising cost of jet fuel is just one factor that might make those flights to the Most Magical Place on Earth quite a bit more expensive than you might be used to. But what if availability and capacity of flights also gets limited? If you’re flying JetBlue this summer, you might experience just that and it could CHANGE your trip plans.
It’s hard to believe just HOW MUCH 50th anniversary merchandise has been released for Disney World’s big celebration!
Magic Kingdom Park 50th Anniversary merchandise
Clothing, ears, bags, collectibles, toys, mugs — we could go on and on. But, we are by no means complaining, because we love finding new Disney merchandise! And today, we found some more 50th anniversary items that you can wear in the parks.
When you tell your Aunt Susan or Becky down the street that you went to Disney World, they’ll probably ask you, “Did you eat any Mickey waffles?” Sure, churros and popcorn are a few classic theme park snacks, but nothing says “Disney World” quite like a Mickey waffle. While a Disney newbie might not be well-versed on the contents of a Pongu Lumpia, they probably still know about Mickey waffles — they’re practically a cultural phenomenon!
Isn’t it a beautiful sight?!
For many families, eating a Mickey waffle on vacation is a must-do! Between the DOZENS of Disney World resorts and theme parks, there are tons of places to pick up an order of waffles. Lucky for you, we’ve made things easy and compiled a list of ALL the places you can buy a Mickey waffle in Disney World.
Got a wall full of Minnie ears at home? Well, get ready to add some more hooks ’cause you might be placing some new ears up there soon!
Lots of Minnie Ears
We’ve seen all kinds of new ears released lately, including $300(!) ears, Little Mermaid ears, and even some new 50th Anniversary ears. But now 2 MORE new pairs of ears have made their way online and they’re representing a trend that doesn’t seem to end!
Disney World is NOT for everyone.
Howdy, partner!
But before you write off a vacation to the house of the Mouse allow us to dispel a few of your doubts and fix some major issues that could cause you to hate Disney World.
At this point, it’s no secret that Disney loves using smells to get your attention in the parks and resorts. From the delicious buttery popcorn smell that you notice right as you walk into the Magic Kingdom to the familiar Pirates of the Caribbean attraction scent, you’ll find familiar (and enticing) scents all over Disney World!
Mmm, pretzels!
What if we told you that YOU could become a walking Disney World smell? Well, thanks to Disney’s latest merchandise collection, your outfit might have you craving a Mickey pretzel!
