food IS a theme park
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is undergoing a BIG renovation right now, with new Disney theming coming to the guest rooms, the Wave…of American Flavors turning into Steakhouse 71, and changes to the lobby as well.
Construction at the Contemporary
Most of these projects are still ongoing, but we spotted one finished project inside this morning! Theming is all in the details, so we think the subtle update fits the Contemporary perfectly.
It’s September now, which means Halloween is less than two months away!
Mickey Pumpkin at Disneyland
While some of us like to celebrate the Halloween season in a big way, others might prefer to show their spooky side in a more subtle way. We searched the internet for the best Halloween t-shirts for people who don’t want to go full spooky, so let’s get into it!
There have been some changes happening around Disney’s Magic Kingdom today in preparation for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations!
Get ready to celebrate 50 years of Disney World!
All around the park, we’re hunting down the new golden Disney character statues, which appeared today. But that wasn’t the only change we saw in the Magic Kingdom — some construction walls around a big project on Main Street have finally come down!
In a perfect world, your Disney World budgeting tactics will have paid off SPLENDIDLY.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Not only will you be prepared for those pricey resort stays, dining options, plane tickets, and any other side funds for just-in-case purposes, but you’ll also be able to find a random bit of “splurge” money leftover — just for you to treat yo’self with! How much? How about $500 extra?
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you might already be crossing your fingers for that Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group.
Rise of the Resistance
We’ve seen a few changes to the Virtual Queue process for this ride over the recent months. As it stands, you can snag a spot at 7AM as long as you have a Disney Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and at 1PM as long as you have been admitted to the park that day. The process is similar in Disneyland. Now, there’s been ANOTHER change to make snagging a Boarding Group a little easier.
Prost! In case you missed it, Biergarten in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion recently became a buffet again.
Is Biergarten better now that it’s a buffet again? Well…
After Disney World’s reopening, Biergarten switched to a family-style all-you-can-eat menu, and we’ll have to admit, while many of the foods were the same as at the previous buffet, the family-style presentation was wonderful. But now that it’s reverted to a buffet, so how does it fare? Well, let’s find out.
We are just a few short weeks away from Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration.
Main Street, U.S.A. Railroad Station
In preparation for the 18 month-long event, Disney World has introduced new fireworks shows, spruced up Cinderella Castle, announced special character costumes, special merchandise, and more. On top of all of this, Disney is adding 50 interactive GOLDEN character statues to the parks. All 50 statues have been announced and now the first 50th anniversary statues have been spotted in Magic Kingdom.
It’s almost Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Happily Ever After Fireworks
The 18-month long celebration kicks off on October 1st with new entertainment, experiences, and MORE! One of the most anticipated things coming to Disney World is the new nighttime spectacular, Disney Enchantment. That means that Happily Ever After (the current fireworks show at Magic Kingdom) is going away soon, and guests trying to see the show tonight might have to wait a bit!
Many of us enjoy having a pop (or MANY pops) of Disney around the kitchen.
So many mugs, so little time
Sometimes that comes down to Disney mugs, aprons, or kitchen towels, but have you ever wanted to store your food in a Disney container? Imagine every time you open your fridge to eat some leftovers, there’s Mickey and all his besties!
Disney World Annual Passes are now on sale again!

Disney recently announced a brand new Annual Pass system with four new Annual Pass options. The new program comes with some changes including bonus Park Pass Reservations for current Annual Passholders, a new calendar system, and more. One of the biggest changes is the fact that PhotoPass is no longer included with any of the Annual Pass options, and if you’re thinking of adding it to your pass, there is an important detail you need to know about!
