food IS a theme park
Greetings from Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle looks great from up here!
We like to keep up with how lines are looking in the parks, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Another week has passed by in Disney World and this one was filled with holiday news!
Magic Kingdom
That’s right, it may only be mid-October but Disney World is already looking toward the holiday season! Let’s go over the most unexpected news of the week.
We love getting to go to Disney World every day, and we love spotting new merchandise when it becomes available.
All dressed up for the 50th Anniversary!
So you can imagine our excitement when the 50th Anniversary Mickey Mouse Popcorn Bucket turned up today, just about two weeks after the official start of the celebrations! And Mickey was VERY happy to be out and about at the theme parks — so much that he decided to take a tour around the resort!
A trip to Disney World is a LOT! There’s tons of planning, preparation, and thought that goes into a Disney trip and there’s a lot you need to know ahead of time. (This is BEFORE the zillions of miles you’ll walk and stuff you’ll actually do once you’re there!)
The Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
But that’s why we’re here! To give you the latest news and all the tips and tricks you need in order to win at Disney! Sometimes we all just need to get back to the basics though, right? We’re giving you a primer on some of the most commonly thrown around phrases in Disney World and what they mean! Here are some of the things you need to know before your Disney World trip:
Can you believe Halloween is only a few weeks away? We are so excited for the spookiest day of the year!

And we are so ready to stock up on Disney costumes, Halloween gear, and Haunted Mansion merchandise to keep the spooky spirit around for as long as we can. And now, there’s a special sale on shopDisney for Halloween merchandise!
Walt Disney World has a huge variety of rides for everyone!
How tall should our child be before riding this?
There are roller coasters, motion simulators, drop rides, and even trackless vehicle rides. But we’re here to talk about another popular kind of Disney attraction: boat rides! From the thrilling to the educational, we think it’s time to separate the good from the bad to just the “meh.” Let’s rank all of the boat rides at Disney World!
Oogie Boogie Bash is this year’s Halloween after-hours party at Disney California Adventure! It features treat trails, villains, and all sorts of Halloween fun!
SPPPOOOKKKY
We’ve seen the likes of Marvel’s Agatha Harkness, Cruella DeVil, and even a weirdly human Sid from Toy Story at the event. But today, Disney announced a new addition to the spooky celebration and it was NOT what we were expecting!
We are always impressed by so much of what happens at Disney World. From the Imagineering that goes into creating amazing rides (have you even been on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure yet?) to all the little details that most people don’t even notice that just adds extra detail to the magic, it’s no wonder that many of us refer to Disney World as our happy place.
We love all the details!
Well, we’ve got even more Disney World happiness to share with you today! And it’s all about some Disney animals in Mickey hats — but these aren’t just any typical Disney animals.
EPCOT is currently undergoing a massive transformation that includes new rides, lands, restaurants, and more!
EPCOT
Future World has been divided into 3 new neighborhoods, there is a brand new flagship store in the park, and we’re getting closer to the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Part of the transformation is EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, which debuted recently for Disney World’s 50th anniversary. We’ve checked out the show several times since opening night, and, agree there are some viewing locations that are better than others! Here are the best and worst locations to view Harmonious in EPCOT!
Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween, we’ve got some EXCITING news! If you can recite the entire stretching room monologue, or if you’re DYING to be the 1,000th happy haunt to join the Haunted Mansion, you might want to listen up.
Ah, to be a ghost living in the Haunted Mansion…
We’ve shown you quite a bit of Haunted Mansion merchandise over the years, from Minnie ears to homewares to bedsheets, we’ve covered it! Now, take that iconic Magic Kingdom attraction and combine it with a popular handbag brand, and you’ve got something special!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
