food IS a theme park
A NEW Disney character meet-and-greet location is about to open in EPCOT, and we can’t wait for you to see it.
EPCOT
Previously, you could meet Disney pals at the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, but Mickey and the gang decided it was time for an UPGRADE, so let’s head to the brand-new CommuniCore Hall to check out the new spot! [Read more…]
EPCOT is at the dawn of a NEW ERA, and WE WERE THERE.Â
EPCOT
For the last several years, EPCOT has been in the midst of a massive transformation. New attractions including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Moana Journey of Water have, for better or worse, changed the face of the park forever. Now, one of the final pieces of this reimagining is complete!
Okay, who’s getting excited about Epic Universe?

The more details we get, the more, well, EPIC Universal Orlando’s upcoming third park sounds, right? We’ve been getting a ton of details about some of the lands that the park will feature, including Isle of Berk — How To Train Your Dragon, Super Nintendo World, and Celestial Park. We’re still waiting for more details about the two other lands, Dark Universe, and a new Harry Potter-themed land. In the meantime, though, we’re visiting Universal’s NEW Epic Universe Preview Center, which means we’re about to learn even MORE about this new park!
In our minds, a good day includes a little Amazon browsing — maybe a little add to wishlist, maybe a little add to cart…
We’ve been shopping again!
We’re ALWAYS glad to share our Amazon finds with you, and today is no exception! We’ve got a Father’s Day gift idea, some Mickey earrings that are on sale, and an oh-so-nostalgic Loungefly backpack! Let’s get into it!
I go to Disney World multiple times a week, and I’ve become pretty darn good at packing a park bag!
Cinderella Castle
I get quite a bit of practice loading up different bags with my theme park essentials, and I’ve tried a variety of options — from fanny packs to large backpacks to purses. However, the one that seems to stick and that I use the most of all is a Loungefly backpack…but I have a love/hate relationship with it!
A NEW addition opened up in EPCOT today, and it’s something that we constantly hear people asking for!
EPCOT
One of the best things about EPCOT is the seasonal festivals that happen throughout the year. We love grabbing some gorgeous treats at the Festival of the Arts, noshing on plant-based snacks at the Flower & Garden Festival, eating as much cheese as humanly possible at the Food & Wine Festival, and taking part in the Cookie Stroll at the Festival of the Holidays. Although food and drinks are aplenty in the park during these festivals, there’s one thing that’s sadly LACKING in most areas: SEATING.
Now, a new rest/festival dining area has opened up, and we think y’all are gonna LOVE IT! [Read more…]
If you’ve visited Disney World over the past few years, you’ve probably seen that EPCOT has been under a LOT of construction (and you’ve probably had to walk even FURTHER to get from point A to point B because of that construction).
EPCOT
That’s because EPCOT has been going through a MASSIVE transformation that has completely changed the front of the park and brought some new attractions, too. The transformation also includes CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, which will serve as festival spaces but also host a new Mickey and Friends meet and greet. We’ve got some BIG news about CommuniCore Hall and Plaza that we need to share!
A construction disruption seems to be coming for Disney’s Pop Century Resort.Â

Construction and refurbishment projects are nothing out of the ordinary for Walt Disney World. There are often several in various stages of completion happening all the time, all of which are announced by Disney. However, we’ve just caught wind of a small project the company has yet to announce.Â
It’s been a fun food week in Disney World!
Nachos!
We’ve been enjoying some of the new Pride Month snacks that the month of June has brought. We’ve also discovered some new nachos in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, some new Mac ‘n’ Cheese (oh, yeah!), and ANOTHER Cookie Dough Croissant (yes, this is becoming a trend). However, we were also keeping an eye on other Disney World menu changes, so let’s see what’s been updated this week.
There’s a NEW Disney souvenir collection online now, and you’re going to want to see these royal designs!

Vera Bradley and Disney work together frequently to come out with fun, Disney-themed bags. We recently saw a gorgeous Beauty and the Beast bag collection in the parks and online, but now it’s another princess’s time to shine! Check out these beautiful Cinderella-themed Vera Bradley bags, which you can order online now.Â
