food IS a theme park
When Disney World reopened last year, a lot had changed due to health and safety guidelines.
Happily Ever After
And one of the things that changed was Disney temporarily suspending its nighttime entertainment, which means guests haven’t seen a fireworks show in the parks in over a year, save for some occasional fireworks testing. But we’re starting to see some indications that we might see fireworks return in some capacity to the parks soon!
We know that it’s only May, but our minds are already looking forward to Halloween!
Halloween Mugs
Now that we’re halfway there, Disney has already been announcing details about spooktacular events in the works. And, pumpkin spice fans are getting an EXTRA special treat early in Disneyland Resort as a taste of Fall arrives in Downtown Disney!
Disney World is constantly changing!
Spaceship Earth
We visit every day and we see changes ALL. THE. TIME. Well, with the weird year of 2020, The Most Magical Place on Earth looks pretty different than it has in years past. Here are all the ways Disney World has changed since you were last there!
Can you hear those Grim Grinning Ghosts singing? It’s because we’re Halfway to Halloween, folks! And, all those ghouls want you to CELEBRATE!

Disney kicked off the festivities early, giving guests a first look at the new After Hours Boo Bash coming this year (as we bid adieu to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2021). We got a few new treats throughout the parks, as well as DIY goodies at home. But, Disney even gave us a look into a few extra screams and sneak peeks during its Halfway to Halloween TikTok event!
Have you ever been in the mood for a cheesy, fast-food-style slider? Well, then you might’ve run to your nearest White Castle if you have one near where you live! For those of us down in Florida, White Castle is a NEW option!
White Castle
We’ve got a little bit of a different review today as we head OFF Disney property to an exciting nearby spot — the brand new White Castle near Disney World! This fast-food chain opened the world’s lARGEST location just minutes outside of Disney World and we stopped in to see the new spot and try out some of their famous hamburgers.
Mother’s Day is this weekend, and we’ve already been preparing with all kinds of special treats for our awesome moms!
Mother’s Day Cupcake
We’re talking gifts, brunch, homemade meals, and even a Disney PhotoPass opportunity! But, if your mom would prefer coffee or a cocktail over a bouquet of flowers, Mother’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a few “cheers” over these DIY drinks!
We love going to Disney World and seeing all the characters.
Goofy!
And although character meet and greets aren’t happening right now, the character cavalcades and the character interactions (Alice, Mary Poppins, Rapunzel, Pooh, and more) have been a LOT of fun!
But we recently had a character interaction that didn’t quite go according to plan… .
Today was a HUGE day for Disney World!
Celebration of The Festival of The Lion King
When Disney World reopened last year, much of the live entertainment was suspended. But then we got the news that Festival of the Lion King would return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And today, the show returned for a soft reopening, and WE WERE THERE!
Mobile Order can often be convenient, but with several restaurants at Disney Parks using it, it can also create a host of problems, as we’ve seen at Disney World.
Cocina Cucamonga
And we’re starting to see some issues at Disneyland Resort, too, which recently reopened. If you thought waiting 30-45 minutes at for a meal at Disney World was bad, just wait until you hear how long guests waited for their Mobile Order at Disneyland today!
We got some BIG news earlier this week about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel coming to Disney World!

While this immersive experience was initially scheduled to open in 2021, it was pushed back to 2022 — and we got tons of info about dining, a sneak peek at a SUPER cool lightsaber, and so much more. In fact, we got SO much news that it can all be just a little confusing! Which is why we’re here: to break down everything we know (so far!) about this hotel. Let’s get started!
