food IS a theme park
Especially for nature-lovers and people who like to feel like they’re flying on a banshee, Animal Kingdom is a pretty perfect park in Disney World.

But even “pretty perfect” can come with mistakes if you’re doing the park the wrong way!
Scented merchandise (Yes, you read that right) seems to be the latest Disney trend.

We have seen popcorn-scented spirit jerseys and ears. And now, syrup-scented ears have arrived in Disney World.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
The new Omicron variant of coronavirus has already had a direct impact on travel, with extended mask mandates and travel restrictions.

This variant was first detected in southern Africa, and subsequent cases have been found throughout the US and many other countries. We’ve already looked at how this variant could impact the tourism industry, but recent cancelations show that the impact on travel could be greater than initially predicted. [Read more…]
If you’re looking for a stroll down memory lane, Disney World and Disneyland are THE places for it!
Main Street, U.S.A., aka Memory Lane
From the iconic rides to the classic hotels and timeless snacks, they’re PURE nostalgia, which is why they’re beloved by so many people around the world! Disney memories, like a fine wine, just get better with age.
Disney World sometimes closes rides, attractions, and restaurants for changes and scheduled maintenance.

We keep track of the refurbishments schedule and let you know every week what’s going to be closed in the parks and hotels. But now that a new year isn’t too far away (first of all, how did that happen so fast??) we’re taking a look at everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World in 2022. Some of these closures are on the calendar already, and others have just been announced as happening sometime in the year. And some spots on the list have not reopened yet from the Resort’s temporary 2020 closure. It’s a LONG list, so buckle up!
Christmas is almost here, so it might be a little late to do any last-minute gift shopping online.
A little late to do your holiday shopping online!
However, if you’re looking for a way to spend that end-of-year bonus or you’re shopping for the new year, Disney dropped some new merchandise online this week. It’s not a lot, but we have a feeling this week’s items are going to be popular!
It’s almost Christmas, and we have a BIG update about what’s new at Disneyland Resort!
Disney Merriest Nights
There’s a LOT to cover today, so let’s jump right in!
Christmas is only TWO DAYS away and there are so many ways to celebrate in Disney World!
Disney is extra magical during the holidays!
You can eat delicious food, check out the fun ride overlays, see decorations almost everywhere you look, and find some fun merch. Something else that happened this holiday season was the Disney Very Merriest After Hours event at Magic Kingdom. The last event was earlier this week, and now, some of the entertainment that was ONLY available at Very Merriest is showing during Magic Kingdom’s normal hours!
Disney is going HAM for the holidays!
Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree
It’s pretty much been nonstop holiday goodies since Halloween ended! We’ve seen endless holiday treats, holiday ears that are emptying our wallets, and the Festival of Holidays at EPCOT is giving us SO many things to try! Some of Disney’s holiday drops have been selling out fast, but we just found this holiday item is back in stock, you just have to know where to look.
Disney World might be running a little low on some merchandise items, but they’re certainly not lacking in holiday treat options!
Christmas Tree at Disney’s Riviera Resort
We’ve already had a tasty Christmas Cookie Sundae, a kind of sad Peppermint Churro, and a lemon-y Sugar Cookie Snowman. Now we’re heading over to Disney’s Riviera Resort to try the latest holiday confection! It might give you déjà vu when you hear the name…but we promise this one’s different. [Read more…]
