food IS a theme park
There are SO many ways to gear up for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle
Whether you’re shopping for some sweet 50th merchandise or spending your time taking in the sights of the latest 50th decorations, we hope you’re ready for the big event! Now, there’s another way to get ready for the 50th — without going to Disney World!
Streaming services have been taking over the entertainment industry for a while now, as their popularity increases. Disney has even started releasing new movies on a dual platform, both on Disney+ and in theaters (which has led to some conflicts as well).

We’ve seen recent price jumps for Disney’s streaming services, with an increase for Disney+ in March of this year and an increase for ESPN+ just last month. Now, Hulu has announced a price increase that will be going into effect soon.
It’s Halloween time, y’all! And we are so ready for the spooky season!
There’s always room for one more…Muppet?
And while we’re enjoying all the Halloween decorations at the parks, along with the wickedly cool merchandise and delicious snacks, one of the things we’re MOST excited about is the upcoming Muppets Haunted Mansion special! I mean, what’s not to love — the Muppets AND Haunted Mansion? It’s going to be epic!
Ready for a Disney shopping trip on Amazon?
Disney Merchandise Galore!
From kids’ bikes to adult t-shirts, attraction-themed games, and more, we found some of the best deals on Disney merchandise available now on Amazon!
Disney’s new Annual Pass system starts today, so guests can purchase an Annual Pass or upgrade their existing tickets now!
Walt Disney World Annual Pass
We’ve already looked at the pros and cons of this new annual pass system, what you’ll have to pay extra for with it, and everything that’s missing from the new program. We’ve also seen all the blockout dates for the new annual pass, but these are also available with Disney’s new Annual Passholder calendar, which is available now through the My Disney Experience app. Let’s take a look!
Some Disney rides come and go, but their legacy stays with us forever.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway can be found where the Great Movie Ride used to be located!
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time — back before Lightning Lanes, Rise of Resistance Boarding Passes, and virtual queues — and talk about why some Disney rides were FORCED to close…and what mysteries there were behind them.
As we gear up for Disney World’s 50th anniversary — which starts in less than a month 🤩 — we’re starting to see all kinds of exciting changes and updates at Disney World.
So many exciting things are happening at EPCOT
Cinderella Castle is looking spiffier than ever, we’ve seen some sneak peeks of some of the new fireworks shows set to debut on October 1st, we have an opening date for the VERY COOL Space 220 Restaurant. And EPCOT has been undergoing a MASSIVE transformation, including getting a brand new flagship shop!
Are you ready for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary?
Disney Enchantment ©Disney
The MAJOR celebrations kick off on October 1st with new decorations, new looks for our favorite Disney pals, and of course, NEW FIREWORKS. Not only will Harmonious be debuting in EPCOT, but Magic Kingdom will get the brand new Disney Enchantment nighttime spectacular!
Disney World recently announced a new Annual Passholder Program, and now, those passes are on sale!
Annual Pass
The new program is significantly different from the old one — there are now only 4 types of Annual Passes available, different blockout dates, and new add-ons. One thing the new program also has is more park pass reservations for some Annual Passholders as well as bonus park pass reservations that don’t count toward your overall total number. As passes went on sale today, bonus reservations became available to current passholders!
We are SO excited about the new restaurants opening soon in the France Pavilion at EPCOT!
La Creperie de Paris
Both La Crêperie de Paris and its quick service window, Crêpes à Emporter, will be opening on October 1st, just in time for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration. We got a chance to check both out early, and if you’d like to read our review La Crêperie de Paris, you can do so here. But today, we’re checking out the quick-service window, Crêpes à Emporter.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
