Let’s face it — Disney is smart. 😎 They have a bunch of tactics to get you to spend money or to keep you coming back for more. But, can you be smarter than Disney?
Disney wants you to spend money. They are a business, after all. There is a reason you exit rides through a gift shop and can pay for things just by using your MagicBand — it makes buying things so much harder to resist! They also use some smart tricks to make you see things differently, like forced perspective and that famous Go-Away-Green paint. But, there are ways you can outsmart Disney, and we’re going to break them down for you!
Now that the Disney Magical Express is gone, travelers need a new way to get to and from the airport and Disney World.
There are several options, like Mears Connect, the Sunshine Flyer, an Uber, or renting a car. But, in the future, people will be able to take a train from the airport to Disney World! But first, that train has to get to Orlando. The Brightline train is currently working on an expansion from southern Florida to Orlando, and construction just hit a major milestone.
You’re sleeping on some of the most DELICIOUS food in Disney World 😱, but don’t worry…we can fix that!
You likely know Animal Kingdom for its rides and experiences. We do really enjoy a nice day in this park. Seeing the animals (especially when there are new babies out!), riding Expedition Everest 3 times in a row, taking a walk around the Tree of Life to admire the carvings — there’s no shortage of ways to have fun in the park. We also love exploring Pandora: The World of Avatar, which has one of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat — Satu’li Canteen! Come along with us to see if Satu’li is still holding up to its reputation as one of the best quick service spots in this park.
If you collect Disney merchandise, you know how exciting it is when a new item is released!
New Minnie ears, a Loungefly bag, a popcorn bucket — there are so many different things you can grab, and if you collect keys, there’s a new one you can add to your collection!
It’s Valentine’s Day — the holiday of love! We LOVE Animal Kingdom, so we go over to the park a lot to check out what’s new.
Recently, we’ve seen the return of a beloved character, some new food items, and a major ride closure. So, let’s check out what’s new at Animal Kingdom!
There’s ONE thing in Disney World that seems to change more than anything else. Do you know what it is?
That’s right, cupcake flavors! It seems like when we stop by a Disney World restaurant that sells cupcakes, there are often new flavors with new sugar decorations, a pile of icing on top, and most likely, some kind of unique filling in the middle. But hey, we’re not complaining — it just means more yummy desserts for us to try! And when we stopped by Disney’s Wilderness Lodge today, we were greeted with yet another treat to add to our LONG list of reviews.
Gideon’s Bakehouse loves thinking outside the box with unique flavors. We’ve tried unique treats here like chocolate chip key lime pie cookies, banana bread cold brew, white chocolate coffee bean cookies, and rocky road cookies, just to name a few.
Gideon’s also features new treats to try every month, and February is all about SPICE. For Valentine’s Day (that’s today!), if you head to Gideon’s, you might find a special perk — and a returning sweet!
If you’re coming to Disney World, there’s one BIG thing that you might do before starting your vacation… .
What’s that? Well, you might fly into MCO — the Orlando International Airport! It’s an incredibly popular travel stop for those heading to the Central Florida theme parks, and it’s typically pretty crowded with tourists. But how does it stack up with other airports? We just found out.
Valentine’s Day has arrived!
Disney World is celebrating love this week with special treats and limited-time food menus at Disney Springs and beyond. But if you don’t have time to spare and just want to grab a cool souvenir that comes with a FREE drink, then there’s one spot you’ll want to visit. [Read more…]
