food IS a theme park
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!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s average wait times were mostly stable this week, with a couple of exceptions. Rise of the Resistance dropped from its Thanksgiving-week-high, but it was still the busiest ride in Disney World.
Hello, Hollywood! We’re here to soak in the glitz and glamour of the holidays. Oh, and Tinsel Town is EXTRA sparkly today. Why? We’re celebrating DAPPER DAY at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The holidays at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
OK, so what is Dapper Day? Technically, it should be Dapper Days, since this event takes place a couple of times a year on both coasts. It’s a free (and not Disney-sponsored) event where you can dress up in vintage outfits, chic dresses, or any kind of dapper look. The point is to have fun and get creative (and boy did people deliver today!).
Do you dream of Mickey Waffles? Do you love Disney World breakfast restaurants like Chef Mickey’s, ‘Ohana, and Kona Island? You’re in luck!
Mickey Waffle!
Sadly, we can’t live at Disney World. But we can bring a little of that magic home thanks to some FUN Amazon finds! Want to have your very own Mickey Waffle at home? Find out how!

If you don’t have this on your list already, and especially since you’re planning your next trip to Disney World, we’ve got to talk about shoes. There’s this one mistake that so many people make when it comes to the shoes people bring to Disney World. We’re talking about not breaking in your shoes long before your trip. The last thing you want is to have your feet covered in blisters because you threw brand new shoes on them and then asked your feet to walk for 20 miles a day at Disney World. You need to make sure the shoes are comfortable and properly broken in before trusting them to support your feet for the thousands upon thousands of steps they’ll be taking daily at the parks. So let’s beat that trend and show you some of the best shoes for Disney World that we could find from Amazon! Let’s jump right in!
Happy holidays from the West Coast. Yep, we’re in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying EVERYTHING the holiday season has to offer.
Holiday decorations on “it’s a small world”
We’ve had our first ICONIC Candy Cane of the season. We’ve been enjoying the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays. We’ve even been able to see the Pixar Place Hotel decorated for the holidays for the very first time! We LOVE this time of year. We’re also making our way through the TONS of new snacks and drinks that have arrived in Disneyland (y’all — it is SO much FOOD) and we’ve got some more reviews of some of those new eats and drinks to share with you. So let’s get to nomming!
Okay, so it’s no secret that we love to buy discounted Disney gift cards because we can use them for SO many things.
Gift cards at Sam’s Club
First, they’re great for buying stuff at The Disney Store — and with this being KEY holiday shopping season, we love saving money on gifts. However, they’re also great for our Disney trips, too — you can pay for your Disney World vacation with gift cards — and if they’re discounted, you automatically save $$$. You can also use them WHILE you’re on your trip for food and souvenirs. So, we’ve scoured the Internet to see what discounted gift cards are available right now.
It really is true, we go to Disney World EVERY. DAY. And with that, we have some knowledge about what you should bring to the theme parks. This includes our must-have rain essentials!

We look for items that make our trip to the parks easier so that we can share them with you! We found out that some of our favorite rain day essentials are on sale today for 35% off on Amazon, so let’s grab them while we can!

One of the most-asked questions we hear is, “What shoes are best for Disney World?” Well, as people who go to Disney World every day, we feel uniquely qualified to answer this.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World requires a lot of walking, and if you haven’t been in a while, you might be thinking, “Well, I walk around a lot every day,” but Disney World is different. With four parks plus Disney Springs, Disney hotels, and water parks to conquer during your trip, your feet will need support and structure to survive. We are telling you the shoes we think are best for your Disney trip in hopes of helping you have the best trip possible.
Okay, we’ve got some BIG huge ROARING Animal Kingdom news to share.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
So, Animal Kingdom could be the most underrated park in all of Disney World, and not just because the food there is among the best in all four parks. Animal Kingdom is also home to a SLEW of animals, and you can see them on a safari ride, as well as on the many walking trails the park has to offer. PLUS you can even pet some of them! However, a new addition has made its way to Animal Kingdom, and well, you’re going to be thrilled to see it.
