Another major streaming company has teamed up with Disney to bring consumers a massive streaming bundle offer (and it’s pretty enticing)!

We already knew several companies like Warner Brothers Discovery were in talks with key streaming platforms to join forces and offer consumers a competitive bundle of streaming platforms. And it wasn’t too long ago since we saw Disney+ and Hulu merge allowing subscribers for both services to access each other’s content across both platforms. Now, it seems that an attractively priced bundle is the latest to grab our attention of the streaming giants and we have to admit this is one we didn’t think we’d see come to an agreement so soon!

BIG news, people. For YEARS, Southwest Airlines has taken a different approach to flying. Unlike many major airlines in the US, Southwest passengers boarded under an “open seating policy” where seats were not preassigned. The policy was pretty controversial, and many travelers have hoped the rules would change.
Orlando International Airport
Well, it seems like that long-awaited update might finally arrive. Southwest Airlines shared a BIG announcement about the future of open seating.
We know a lot goes into planning a Disney World vacation, and with the planning can come a lot of questions.
Magic Kingdom
As of July 24th, the skip-the-line system at Disney World has changed, so we expect that a lot of questions right now are focused on these changes. There’s a lot to learn and understand ahead of your trip especially since you can reserve a few Lightning Lane experiences in advance. However, there’s one question that we haven’t really answered yet — at what age do you need a Lightning Lane reservation?
Staying connected and keeping a mostly full battery around Disney World all day long is no easy task and we recently spotted a significant CHANGE to one of our favorite ways to stay fueled!
Fuel Rod
It’s no secret that we’re used to filling our bags with things to help us all day long in Disney World, but when it comes to using the My Disney Experience app to check wait times, check for showtimes, and even pick up Multi Pass and Single Pass Lightning Lanes, you could easily run your battery down quicker than you thought. So if you’re someone who’s GOT to stay charged the whole day through, one of our best Disney World park hacks just got a big upgrade we’ve got to tell you about! [Read more…]

The new theme park will include lands including Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. Universal has shared tons of details about every land except one — and we think we know when we might learn more!
Disney offers Private VIP tours for your trip to Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
These tours are planned for you by a Disney World Cast Member guide. You just tell them what you want to do and see, and they’ll have everything planned and ready for you. You will even get picked up by a private vehicle at your Disney World or Disney-partnered hotel to start your day. You pick when you want to start your day, and which parks you want to visit, and your guide will ensure you have a great time! We asked our readers about a time when they did a VIP tour and what they would do differently if they ever did one again. We got six great answers that might be good to know if you plan on booking one of these private tours.
Things have been…shall we say…interesting in Disney World this week.
Cinderella Castle
Genie+ has gone away forever (and we know a lot of folks cheering about that), but it was replaced with a new system called Lightning Lane Multi Pass. But this was WAY more than a name change. Nope, a lot of other changes happened with how you make Lightning Lane selections through Multi Pass. A LOT. We have tested out the system, and we’ve got to warn you: it’s now a lot harder to book Lightning Lane for some rides.
One of Disney’s biggest events of the year is coming up, and we can’t wait!
The Walt Disney Company headquarters in California
D23 is Disney’s Official Fan Club, and bi-annually they a fan convention in Anaheim, California. This event consists of 3 days of numerous panels about Disney news, movies, TV shows, and everything in between. It’s a great way to learn about all the new things coming down the pipeline for the Walt Disney Company, and the next event is coming up on August 9th-11th. While we can’t wait for all the latest news to come out, we have noticed that Disney has done some suspicious things, and we can’t help but wonder what that’ll mean for the event this year.
It seems like we’ve been holding our breath ever since Disney’s announcement to retheme an entire land of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Chip and Dale in Dinoland!
While several ideas and choices have been tossed around about what we could see in the new retheming of Dinoland U.S.A., if you take a quick look around, you won’t have to look very far to already see evidence of its countdown to extinction. [Read more…]
