food IS a theme park
We are still in the midst of hurricane season in Florida.

We’ve been following the development of a tropical storm for the past few days, which has now become official. When large storms hit Disney World, they take the necessary precautions to ensure guest safety and continued entertainment. This latest storm may become a hurricane as it nears the Florida coast.
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! This week saw an interesting pattern develop, and we need to talk about it.
EPCOT
Three of Disney World’s four theme parks — Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios — all saw their average wait times decrease over the past week. However, Disney World’s fourth theme park — EPCOT — saw wait times go up? Is this an effect of the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system?
Aren’t you just itchin’ to set sail aboard the Disney Treasure?

When you think about this being the sixth (!!) ship coming to the Disney Cruise Line fleet and all that we’re going to experience, like the Haunted Mansion Parlor and Jungle Cruise-inspired bar, we’re just over the moon with excitement. But before we go off into the stratosphere, we wanted to dive in and share all we know about a particular lounge that’s got all of us ready to be a cat. That’s right. We’re talking about the Aristocats-themed lounge! Let’s go!
OK, we’ll admit it. We do a lot of online shopping. But plenty of our purchases are practical — we need comfortable shoes, quality ponchos, and t-shirts for all our Disney World vacations, after all!
Loungefly bags
Luckily for you, we keep our eyes out for the best Disney deals and all the latest trending items online. So, come with us to see what’s new and exciting on Amazon right now.
One of the things about Disney World is that things are always changing, and new things are always right around the corner.
Hollywood Studios
For example, Splash Mountain closed and became a new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Country Bear Jamboree recently got a new show. Test Track is getting a reimagining. So, a classic Disney ride getting updated isn’t a new thing. Now, some fans think that one ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be due for a reimagining, especially with some news that just dropped recently.
Y’all, we’ve got something brand new to show you.

You know at home, having a reliable go-to purse or bag is ESSENTIAL to keeping your sanity. Well, the same rule applies in the Disney parks! We’re constantly recommending Loungefly bags because not only do they have fun designs, but they function well and hold plenty of stuff. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at six new Disney Loungeflys you can order online right now!
Okay, so one thing we love about Disneyland food (and there is a LOT to love) is that we often see really interesting combinations.
Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland
For example, we’re still completely intrigued by the Pickle Corn Dog from Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney that comes with a peanut butter dipping sauce. Plus there are some really interesting flavor combinations happening in San Fransokyo Square at Lucky Fortune Cookery, where Mexican food meets Asian food: Birria Ramen? OKAY. Well, we’ve found a new combination that combines a cheeseburger with pizza, and, well, let’s talk about it.
Last week we shared that a Disney World hotel refurbishment would be ending.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Unfortunately, not all refurbishments go as planned. Occasionally, Disney has to make adjustments to their timelines and that’s what we’ve seen for one food court at a popular Value resort. However, this restaurant is not the only refurbishment that will affect your Disney World trip the week of August 3rd through August 10th.
We go to Disney World every single day and by now, we’ve built up quite a collection of Disney-themed shirts.
Cinderella Castle
Of course, there are your classic Mickey Mouse tees, Spirit Jerseys, and even ones inspired by iconic Disney World rides and attractions. But, if you’re looking for the ultimate Disney shirt — people ALWAYS give us compliments when we wear this one!
Happy anniversary to our friends at La Cava Del Tequila in EPCOT!
La Cava Del Tequila
La Cava Del Tequila is a little hidden gem in the Mexico pavilion in the World Showcase at EPCOT. You’ll find specialty tequila drinks here in this small bar. From time to time, the bar will showcase special edition drinks to celebrate seasons, holidays, or other events. Now, for their 15th anniversary, they’re celebrating with a fancy pink margarita!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
