food IS a theme park
There’s so much going on at Disneyland!
Everyone remain calm!
Haunted Mansion just re-opened after a lengthy refurbishment and the holiday overlay was installed. And we’re waiting for some big anouncements about new things coming to the parks — we’re hoping to hear more at the d23 Ultimate Fan Convention August 9th-11th.
We’re just going to warn you now: hurricane season means rainy season in Disney World.
Rainy day in Animal Kingdom
You know those random Florida thunderstorms that pop up in the middle of the day in the summer? Well, we’ve got those to deal with plus tropical storms and hurricanes to deal with, too. That means you are going to get VERY wet if you don’t have the right rain gear. Here’s the good news: we tested out a new poncho recently, and we loved it so much that we’re going to HIGHLY recommend you get it and keep it in your Disney day bag…you can thank us later.
If you’ve been hanging ’round these parts for awhile, you probably know about the WORST waffle news of the summer…the big change to the Waffle Sandwiches at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom.
Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich
Remember the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich that came with bananas, berries and chocolate-hazelnut spread? Well, there are no more waffle sandwiches at Sleepy Hollow — they’ve been replaced by Mickey Waffles that we do not like nearly as much. But Disney is offering a simple addition now for $1 that could make your Mickey Waffle snack better!
Okay, we’re just going to say it: you should NOT be walking by Joffrey’s in Disney World.
Joffrey’s Near Canada
First, you can get coffee at Joffrey’s with shorter lines than Starbucks (and we’ll argue that some of the Joffrey’s drinks are BETTER). But you can also get some really good cookies like the Tower of Terror cookie or the Team Blue cookie — who can resist ride-themed cookies? Well, Joffrey’s just dropped a NEW cookie, and we think it could be one of the best cookies in Disney World — yep, we said it!
Could we get anymore excited for the opening of Universal’s new theme park?!!

Epic Universe is opening in 2025, and we’re expecting to hear an exact opening date SOON. In the meantime, we’re constantly looking for new details to bring you — because we know you are wondering whether to plan a trip to this brand new Orlando theme park!
We’re not the only ones who (may or may not) have believed something about Disney World that wasn’t quite true, right?
Magic Kingdom
We’re talking about those “tall tales” like Walt Disney being frozen and buried under Cinderella Castle or that Cinderella Castle can come apart for hurricanes. These kinds of “lies” keep getting circulated and we thought it was high time to break down some of the lies about Magic Kingdom that you thought were true! Let’s dive right in!
It’s been a tough month for airlines as delays and cancelations have been hitting airports around the world.
Orlando International Airport
A global IT outage caused tons of delays and cancelations in July, making air travel difficult for nearly a week. Now, as Tropical Storm Debby nears Florida’s coast, more delays and cancelations have begun at Orlando International Airport (MCO). One airline in particular has been affected the most.
D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is just around the corner!
D23 is almost here!
This huge Disney event will begin on August 9th in Anaheim, California, and will feature Disney executives, panels, entertainment, and TONS of announcements. At these big events, we typically expect some exciting news from the company. We may hear about new lands, new rides, new shows, new entertainment, and so much more. While this is what all of us Disney fans get excited about each year, it may be important to point out that not ALL these announcements always come true. Here’s a list of six announcements from past D23 events that we have yet to see come to life, and why some of it might need to be taken with a grain of salt.
It’s snack time!
Disney Springs
It’s no secret that Walt Disney World is a bastion of delicious snacks. Between the resort’s 4 theme parks, resort hotels, water parks, and a major shopping center, there are almost too many options to wrap your head around. However, our favorite under-the-radar option may be located at Disney Springs.
Disney Cruise Line is hard at work creating brand-new ships for us to sail away on.

Two new ships are currently in development — the Disney Treasure and the Disney Destiny. The Disney Treasure has been getting built at the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany since January 2023, while the Disney Destiny is only in the beginning stages of the process. Now, there has been a monumental update on the Disney Treasure’s construction in Germany!
