food IS a theme park
We can’t imagine life without Disney+, although the streaming service has only been around since 2019.

However, with it being spooky season, we’ve been watching some of our favorite Halloween movies on the service, including Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, and more! And now that Disney+ and Hulu can be combined with one service, it’s even better. Now, you might have previously seen that Disney+ subscribers are facing a price increase, and Disney is sending out emails with more details.

When anyone ever asks me who my favorite CEO in the history of the Walt Disney Company is, I immediately go to Michael Eisner. Sure, he helped usher in the renaissance of Disney entertainment and pushed the parks forward, especially with his leadership amid the Disneyland Resort expansion, but as a kid growing up just minutes from Anaheim, he did so much more. Eisner had Disney dive into the sports sphere and, through several sports films and actual ownership of Anaheim sports franchises, Disney not only won over the hearts of kids from the Anaheim area but millennials all over the globe. While those days may be history, one Anaheim team is bringing the 90s into the 21st Century.
Before the weekend comes, let’s have a chat about saving on Disney merch!
Disney Merch
We’re trying to make sure that you get the best deals on Disney merch possible, so we’ve rounded up the best ones we’ve seen on the Disney Store online. So, let’s not waste another minute and check them out!
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Resort, you probably want to know all about the available skip-the-line options.
Disneyland
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass are paid offerings that allow you to skip the line at select attractions during scheduled time windows. However, some people don’t like having to select their Lightning Lane return times through the Disneyland app. If you fall in that camp, you may be interested in using the newest offering — Lightning Lane Premier Pass.
Disney dropped some massive news this week, but the biggest might have been concerning the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass.
Lightning Lane
The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a separate offering from the existing Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. Like those passes, though, the new Premier Pass will allow Disney World visitors to skip the standby lines at rides and get access to those rides’ Lightning Lanes, which will have shorter waits. If you’re considering purchasing Lightning Lane Premier Pass, we’re going to break down the easiest way to use it.
Deciding what to wear to Disney World is HARD, friends, we get it. We’ve been there!
Spaceship Earth
We keep an eye on all the latest trends to see what fellow guests are wearing to the parks, and what may or may not be a good fit for your next trip. Not to mention that we keep our eyes peeled for all the latest deals online to make sure you’re getting the essentials at the best price possible. Which means that we’ve just come across this new potential trend starting up, and we’re telling you now that these are NOT the shoes for any Disney World park.
Well, if nothing else, Disney sure knows how to keep us on our toes!
Peter Pan’s Flight Lightning Lane
As I’m sure you remember, earlier this year we saw both Disney World and Disneyland do away with the Genie+ skip-the-line system and introduce Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass. But like I was saying, just when we really got the hang of this new system, Disney went ahead and introduced a whole new pass — Lightning Lane Premier Pass. After we recovered from the shock, we had a moment to check out the details and that’s when we noticed that this brand-new pass isn’t even out yet and there’s already one big problem with it!
Yesterday, Disney dropped a TON of news about its theme parks and its newest cruise ship, the Disney Adventure. Today, though, it’s Universal Orlando’s turn!

We FINALLY got an official opening date for Epic Universe AND we know when tickets will go on sale. We also learned about ticket prices. So now that we know a little more, you might want to consider becoming a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder. Why? Because Annual Passholders will get a nice PERK when it comes to Epic Universe.
We’ve been waiting, speculating, and making predictions for months. We’ve been analyzing concept art. We’ve been close reading any and all Universal announcements in hopes of finding hints about the opening date. But finally — FINALLY! The wait is over. We have an official opening date for Universal’s NEW Epic Universe park.

This new theme park is gonna be BIG — it’s got five special “worlds,” more than 50 experiences, and even a new hotel called the Universal Helios Grand Hotel! Now, with so much to look forward to, it should come as no surprise that Universal is anticipating high demand. But what does that mean for ticket sales? Well…it’s a little complicated.
While Lightning McQueen and his friends may have moved out of Hollywood Studios, they will eventually have another home in a different Disney World park!
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is now closed
This past August, at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event, it was announced that Disney World would be getting some significant upgrades, including eight new rides! Two of those new rides will be located in Magic Kingdom as part of a brand-new Cars expansion. While we are super excited for Cars to come to Magic Kingdom, we have some bad news about the rally race ride that will be part of this expansion.
