We’re talking about the biggest shopping event of the year, Amazon Prime Day, which happens on July 16th and 17th. Now, we expect to see a lot of great deals on just about everything, but there are some Disney deals we think we’ll DEFINITELY be seeing pop up, including great discounts on essentials you need for your next Disney World trip and other Disney souvenirs.
There are quite literally hundreds of restaurants in Disney World, and it can be a challenge to choose one to visit!
Snacks
Often, our decisions are made based on price, menu, and location. And that last factor is important! Many people choose to eat at restaurants during their vacation simply because they’re located at their hotel. We experienced that very phenomenon recently, and we’re here to share our review!
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s “timeshare” (in quotes because it’s not exactly that) program that allows guests to lock in their “future vacations at today’s purchase price.”
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
Instead of being locked into a specific Disney World hotel, Disney Cruise Line ship, or Disney resort, DVC members use a Vacation Point System to allow flexibility for when, where, and how long they’d like to stay. If you’re a DVC member, we have exciting news — you’ll want to visit a Disney resort over the course of the next month or so to get these NEW perks!
Prime Day is ALMOST here!
Amazon
Amazon’s massive summer Prime Day sales are almost upon us, BUT you can already find some massive deals on Disney merchandise RIGHT NOW. We’re talking 50% off and UP, y’all!!!! Snag these now before they sell out or before the lightning deals run out.
The Disney parks around the world are known for some pretty amazing things.

Disneyland itself was the first park of its kind, Tokyo DisneySea recently opened the absolutely incredible Fantasy Springs land, and we’re looking forward to hearing more about Disney’s theme park expansion plans next month at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. But now, one Disney park has officially broken a Guinness World Record, and the record that was broken might surprise you!
There won’t be any whip-cracking or hat-saving over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
If you are in Hollywood Studios today, we have some bad news about one of the entertainment options.
Scale the Forbidden Mountain!
The Yeti! Disney
Expedition Everest has been one of Walt Disney World’s premier attractions since it opened in 2006. Despite some well-known technical issues surrounding its heavily promoted Yeti animatronic, the ride has become a favorite attraction of many due to its thrilling coaster layout, including a backward portion.
Some of the most popular Disney World souvenirs on the market right now are the mini Loungefly backpacks, which you can find online and in the parks! Plus, you can sometimes find them at non-Disney stores, like Hot Topic, BoxLunch, and Amazon. When you go to Disney World, you’ll see these bags EVERYWHERE. People love them! And with their cute theming and great storage space, we can totally see why. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for NEW Loungefly backpack designs.
Loungefly bags
Now, Disney has released a brand-new Pixar-themed Loungefly bag! If you’re a fan of the classic Monsters, Inc. movie and its prequel Monsters University, you’re gonna want to buy this new bag ASAP.
Over the years, we’ve gathered plenty of tips to help avoid long lines in Disney World.
Hollywood Studios
From learning how to properly use Lightning Lanes to recommending people rope drop or stay late in the parks, we’ve got several methods for avoiding those multi-hour waits. For some attractions, you can skip a hefty wait by using the single rider line…and now there’s a new one in Disney World!
We’ve been covering Disney World food for 15 years, and that means we have many memories of things that were…unfortunate in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Mickey Waffle (2009)
Yes, we’ve had our fair share of not-so-great Disney World snacks, but there were two things about Disney World that DID have to do with dining, but not in the way you’d expect, that was ROUGH. These two things went from being constantly complained about to now being non-issues, which shows just how far things have come in a decade and a half. Those two things? Coffee and water.
