food IS a theme park
Disney World is full of amazing food options — we would know because we eat there EVERY DAY.
Wilderness Lodge is so beautiful!
So when we come across something we haven’t had before, we just HAVE to try it out, even when it’s a little tucked away to-go location in the middle of a resort. And that’s exactly where we found ourselves recently: Geyser Point Bar & Grill To-Go, which is basically a counter-service location tied into Geyser Point Bar & Grill (we’re big fans!).
Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary is less than a month away!!
Cinderella Castle
The celebrations kick off on October 1st, when we’ll see things like a new fireworks show, the opening of a much anticipated new ride, and new golden character statues around the parks! Disney has been getting ready for the celebration for a while now, gradually adding decorations like new 50th anniversary banners and a stage in front of the recently made-over Cinderella Castle. And today, we noticed another new addition for the celebration!
Disneyland is FULL of iconic food, but sometimes nothing beats a caramel apple or Mickey-shaped rice krispie treat!
Look at them all!
We’ve seen all sorts of adorable treats including dapper apples, celebratory cupcakes, and more at the bakeries in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Although most restaurants in the Disney parks have Mobile Order nowadays, the bakeries where we can grab our favorite treats have NOT been on Mobile Order — until now!
Recently, Disney has been making an effort to show more inclusivity.

As part of their effort to be more inclusive, a new map in Disney World represents people with disabilities, there have been adjustments to Cast Member uniforms, and Disney has released costumes that are perfect for kids in wheelchairs.
Anybody out there just a tiny bit obsessed with all the Disney Halloween merchandise that has been released lately? Maybe you’ve already started decorating your house (yes, in September) for spooky season and picking out our costumes for this year.

But, if you want to add an EXTRA bit of spice to your Halloween AND you’re a big Haunted Mansion fan, you might just have a ghastly good time with the latest item online!
Now that spooky season has officially begun, we’ve been spending a LOT of time trying all the Halloween eats and treats around Disney World.

Even though you can scope out Fall flavors wherever you go, there’s a brand new dessert that’s bound to put a spell on you over in at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
We’re back with another installment of what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
This week brought Hollywood Studios new 50th Anniversary banners, the return of finger scanning, some new merchandise, and more. Let’s get into it!
Disneyland’s new Magic Key program has only been around for one week, and we’re already seeing some neat Magic Key-exclusive offerings pop up around the parks.

From merchandise to photo ops, there are lots of ways Magic Key holders can take advantage of this new “Annual Pass” system, including a brand new, limited-time lounge that just opened up in Tomorrowland!
Yes, we haven’t technically made it to Halloween yet, but it’s hard not to start thinking forward to holidays, especially now that we know a little bit about the upcoming Festival of the Holidays and Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours!
Festival of the Holidays is returning!
And we’ve already seen Disney drop a TON of ornaments online, so we’re just waiting to see what other awesome holiday merchandise is on its way. And we’ve now got even more to share with you!
August marks that transition point in the year where everyone heads back to school, summer is over, and we get back into a routine. In Walt Disney World, August was a busy month! We learned a TON of new information (some good, some bad), and got one step closer to the big 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Autumn in Walt Disney World
While we prepare for what’s to come, let’s look back at some of the biggest things we found out about Walt Disney World in August.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
