food IS a theme park
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event will take place in Anaheim, California from August 9th through August 11th, 2024 — and we can’t wait!

We’re expecting some HUGE announcements from Disney on parks, movies, and more, and tickets to this event are already sold out. D23 members who are attending this major event can score a HUGE discount on their stay at a popular hotel near Disneyland, and we’re sharing all the details!
When you come to Disney World, we want your experience to be as smooth as possible.
‘Walt the Dreamer’ Statue in World Celebration
There are more than a couple of things at Disney World that can quickly overwhelm you, especially during the summer months, and we don’t want any of them to weigh you down. To that point, we wanted to go over some of the “mistakes” that even the most seasoned Disney travelers might make at Disney World this coming August so you can avoid them like a champ!
One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is meeting characters!
Loveable Pooh
We always have so much fun interacting with the characters, whether that be during character dining experiences or at their official meet-and-greet spots in the parks. We’ve even collected character autographs on birthday cards and water bottles (which we think is genius, by the way). Now, though, we spotted a NEW character joining an existing meet and greet and WE ARE SO EXCITED. Could this be a permanent change, or was it a one-day surprise? We’re keeping our fingers crossed this new friend is here to stay!
We LOVE getting a good deal on our travel, and we know you do too!
Orlando International Airport
Because of this, we’re constantly sharing the latest deals for Disney vacations, from savings on hotels and tickets to special experiences. But besides that, you can also often save on your FLIGHTS! And right now, there’s a really great deal from one popular airline.
We don’t know about you, but we’re getting pretty darn excited about everything happening at Universal Orlando.
Universal Orlando
Not only did the new DreamWorks Land just open, but we can’t wait to experience Epic Universe when it finally opens in 2025. It seems like Universal is trying to create some hype among local fans because they just announced an exclusive new ticket deal that is seriously blowing our minds.Â
A LOT is about to change in Disney World and Disneyland.
New Lightning Lane changes are coming
Genie+ as we know it is going away forever, to be replaced by a new service called Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. In Disney World, even more changes are coming to the service that allows you to skip the standby lines for rides. Regardless of which Disney resort you’re visiting, though, you need to do one very important thing before July 24th.
Wallets at the ready? We hope so! Disney just released one of its most POPULAR souvenirs of the year, and we have a feeling it will be gone in no time. If there’s one thing Disney fans love, it’s Mickey-shaped decorations — ESPECIALLY around the Halloween season. Mickey pumpkins are a fall classic, just like pumpkin spice and candy apples!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
Are you ready to do some SPEED shopping? This isn’t the kind of purchase you can think about for a few days. In the past, we’ve seen these souvenirs sell out in less than an hour. Yes, really! We weren’t kidding when we told you to get your wallets out; you need to be FAST to place your order before those viral souvenirs are gone. Now, let’s go shopping!
Buckle up! We’re talking about the biggest things happening at Disney World in August…and there’s a lot going on!
Hollywood Studios
2024 has been a busy year for the parks with the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the reimagining of Country Bear Jamboree, and some major changes to Genie+. But August is bringing its own fair share of events and that’s what we’re here to chat about now. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!
It is possible to have a bad day at Disney…
Walt Disney World
While Walt Disney World vacations are designed to be – – and often are – – incredibly happy occasions, that’s not always the case. We asked our readers to share their WORST Walt Disney World vacation stories, and these are some of the wildest responses we got!
EPCOT’s massive transformation has been completed, but there is still more work to be done. We’ve seen the long-awaited construction walls come down from around its new World Celebration gardens and CommuniCore Hall, revealing even more festival food favorites to munch on, live entertainment, and even a dedicated spot to meet Mickey and his pals! But Test Track is currently under construction, and we’re expecting a NEW version of the ride to debut. There’s pretty much always something new to look forward to in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
So, if you’re anything like us and want to experience the behind-the-scenes story of EPCOT’s glow-up, we’ve found the perfect way for you to see it all! [Read more…]
