food IS a theme park
Getting to Orlando is about to get easier for some.
An Allegiant aircraft
Due to its many tourist attractions, Orlando is one of the busiest travel cities in the world. Now budget carrier Allegiant Airlines is preparing to add another new route to the area, though maybe not to the airport you’re expecting.
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places to stop for a treat — whether it might be sweet or savory.
Sprinkles
But, when we’re in the mood for a sweet, decadent cupcake, there’s only one place to go: Sprinkles! This well-known bakery serves up gourmet cupcakes (sometimes from an ATM!) and features rotating monthly flavors. But, we’ve got some excellent news for folks who don’t live anywhere near Sprinkles Cupcakes…
Neck fans, complimentary water, and bringing our own water bottle to double as a souvenir all sound like pretty solid options at Disney World when trying to stay cool — but get ready, because we’re adding one more to the mix!
Ahhhh, cooling patches!
With as hot as the spring and summer have been in Disney World this year and several rides struggling to stay open all day long backing up the wait times, it’s no wonder we’re all looking for any extra ways we can think of to stay cool. While ducking indoors for a show or to eat only works for a few occasions, we may have uncovered another solution to add to the mix when standing out in the blazing sun in unavoidable. [Read more…]
EPCOT is home to some of our favorite restaurants, but that doesn’t mean they’re all created equally.
EPCOT
While we love quick-service spots like Sunshine Seasons and table-service restaurants like Garden Grill (just to name two of our favorites), there’s one restaurant in EPCOT that’s been hated on for YEARS. But is it really bad as we remember and as everyone makes it sound? We’re heading back to find out — come with us to find out if Coral Reef is the worst restaurant in EPCOT.
While it is probably not feasible to live in Disney World full-time (although if we ever win the lottery, there will be signs!), we are all about accessories that help us bring a bit of the magic with us wherever we go.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
We have reporters in the park every single day, and spend our days writing about Disney, but we still think you can always have a few more Disney accessories.
It’s not every day you come across an item of Disney merchandise that really just makes you question your whole reality.
Lightning McQueen
But, when we first spotted these bad boys a while back, we had no idea just how popular they would end up being. And then, something clicked. It was like seeing color for the first time — we just knew our lives were forever changed. Suddenly, they were gone — POOF! Sold out. Well, friends, we’re thrilled to say these viral Crocs are BACK in stock!
If you’re honest, you’ll agree that most of us go to Disney World for the food and drink!
Delicious and golden
It could be a specific entree at your favorite restaurant like the noodles at ‘Ohana, or a unique drink like the Avocado Margarita from La Cava del Tequila, or some classic Corn Dog Nuggets from Casey’s Corner. It doesn’t even matter which one you’re talking about because we love them all. But just for a moment, let’s stick with Disney World snacks. Now, about them, we wanted to pick your brains and find out if and what controversial Disney World snacks you regretted trying! Well, we asked and you delivered! [Read more…]
Disney is getting ready to begin celebrating the Halloween season in just a few weeks and we couldn’t be more excited.
We LOVE Halloween!
For some, starting to celebrate Halloween in August is a little too early, but we love seeing the parks (especially Magic Kingdom) all decorated for the holiday. And we also can’t resist all the adorable merchandise that comes out, and of course, we share it with you immediately. We’re warning you now — this new Mickey Mouse Halloween collection is too adorable to resist, so you may want to have someone hide your wallet before reading the rest of this post!
We’re sorry for the existential crisis you’re about to have after reading this post.
Hollywood Boulevard at Hollywood Studios
Because, when we tell you that July 22nd is the 30th anniversary of an iconic ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you just might start to feel about as old as we do right now. But, that just means there have been 30 years of memories for hundreds of thousands of people — which is pretty darn cool.
We’ve had lots of news lately about changes for Disney Vacation Club and its members and today marks another “sweet” beginning of something great!
DVC Lounge in EPCOT
We just got the opportunity to tour the newest DVC lounge in Disney Springs and waiting for the next DVC lounge to be built in Magic Kingdom, there’s a few more perks for members to enjoy even sooner! Days ago, Disney announced MORE limited-time perks would be coming for Disney Vacation Club members and now that time has come! [Read more…]
