food IS a theme park
We love running into Disney characters!
Hey guys!
Whether we spot a rare character in the parks or see familiar friends in new costumes, it makes our day getting to smile and wave at our pals. And today, we found some classic characters at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!
It’s baaaack! The Watermelon Dole Whip has officially returned to Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs!
Marketplace Snacks
Just a few months ago, we tried the Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which had a bit of an identity crisis…) and we snagged a cup FULL of watermelon Dole Whip on its own, but now this special Dole Whip flavor is back and in a new parfait form. Is this new creation a Dole Whip must-have or a total pass? We’re bringing you all our thoughts right here!
Walt Disney World is OFFICIALLY turning 50 on October 1st of this year!
Cinderella Castle
And if you’re planning to be there for the marquee anniversary, you likely already know this isn’t going to be your AVERAGE Disney World vacation. And so, you need to pack accordingly.
One of the biggest draws of Disney World is the rides. Whether they use impressive technology, they’re classic Disney staples, or they’re just downright fun —  there are so many incredible rides.
“its a small world”
You might feel pressured to ride all of them, but sometimes, it’s not the worst thing to skip some.
Sometimes nothing is more frustrating than adding all of your favorite items into your cart on shopDisney and getting ready to place your order, only to realize you haven’t met the level to get free shipping!

If you’ve got a few items you’ve been hoping to purchase (maybe some new masks or some items to celebrate the upcoming release of Luca) you’ve got just a few hours to get it all shipped to your house for FREE!!!
Have you ever had a “nope, not today” moment in Walt Disney World?
Some days aren’t always perfect in Disney World.
Maybe you had plans go awry or you experienced something that wasn’t nearly as “magical” as you hoped it would be. Or maybe it felt like the park was quitting on YOU (like when a favorite ride has a weird malfunction!). Today, we’re sharing the times that we had experiences like that in the parks because we’ve seen some pretty bonkers things!
We’ve got news on the Walt Disney Archives!

The Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic exhibit gives Disney fans the chance to get up close to pieces of Disney history, from Jack Sparrow’s compass to Mary Poppins’ carpet bag to tombstones from the Haunted Mansion. It reopened at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana on March 17th — and soon, it’ll be on the move!

It’s getting HOT in Florida as summer rolls in as May comes to an end!
Magic Kingdom
As you start planning your upcoming Disney World vacations, we’re sure you’re checking your packing list for sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and comfy shoes before you head to the parks. But, we may have just found our go-to mask for the long summer days. While we found this in the parks, we do want to point out that it is available online at shopDisney for much cheaper!
It’s another day in Disney World, which means there’s more snacking to do!
You don’t find us here too often!
And, today, when we were making our way around EPCOT, we noticed that there were TWO new menu items at Lotus Blossom Cafe in the China Pavilion! Now, we’re not normally stopping by this spot to grab a bite of the Quick Service Chinese food served here — but when there’s something new to try, we simply can’t stay away.
We’re back in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
And today, we’re takin’ you with us as we check out everything that’s new in Disney World’s flagship park. Let’s get started!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
