food IS a theme park
We FINALLY got to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure…and we’ve got a LOT to share with you! Come with us to be one of the FIRST to ride Magic Kingdom’s BRAND NEW ride — and see what YOU think about this ride re-theme!
How does it compare to Splash Mountain? How does the story play out? And WHY does it keep breaking down? These are ALL good questions, and they’re all tackled in the vid below!
UPDATE: Free Shipping has been extended through June 14!

Are you looking for another excuse to plan a trip to Disney World? Well, we have the perfect reason for you!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World likes to celebrate the holidays a little early, and by early, we mean Halloween in August! Magic Kingdom will soon be gearing up to host Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, but preparations for the party may start popping up sooner than you would think!
We’re still a ways away from the opening of Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, but that hasn’t stopped us from being SUPER excited about Universal’s third park.

The new park will have a total of five NEW themed lands, meaning new rides — and more importantly — new RESTAURANTS. There will also be THREE new hotels, including one hotel that will be located INSIDE the park. Yep, Universal has BIG things in store for Epic Universe. How big? Well, let’s just say that the size of Epic Universe is now more than twice as big as we initially thought.
We’re just gonna come right out and say it: There are a lot of not-very-practical Disney World souvenirs. Those crystal-filled glass slippers you can get at Crystal Arts in Magic Kingdom? Super pretty. But are they practical? …eh, not so much. And do you really need eight new plushes? (I’m talking to myself with that one — somehow I always desperately want every single Disney stuffed animal even though I have no idea what to do with the ones I already have.)
Welcome to the Emporium!
However, there’s one souvenir that’s VERY practical and we think well worth what it costs!
We’ve already seen a ton of BIG changes in Disney World in 2024, but more change is on the way. And this one will be CONTROVERSIAL!
Main Street, U.S.A.
Although the multi-year massive EPCOT transformation is complete (and the construction walls are FINALLY down), there’s still a lot in store for Disney World. Magic Kingdom is going through a LOT of change: not only is there a big Magic Kingdom expansion in the works, but Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on June 28th and Country Bear Jamboree reopens with a brand new show on July 17th. But that’s not all — another big change is coming to Magic Kingdom soon.
California investigators have opened up an investigation into a tragic death at Disneyland.

Looks like Disney has finally found the right warrior to restore the heart of Te Fiti in their live-action Moana remake.

It’s a great time to be a fan of Moana as Disney has released the trailer for the film’s sequel AND announced plans to make a live-action version of the film. We have been glued to our seats waiting for any announcements pertaining to the live-action remake and we FINALLY have confirmation on who will play the heroic title character!
It’s safe to say that Disney’s new Inside Out 2Â movie was a BIG hit. Like, a really, really big hit.

Inside Out 2 premiered on June 14th, and we were among the THOUSANDS of Disney fans who filled up our popcorn buckets and kicked up our feet as we enjoyed the new movie. (Shoutout to Disney for making sure our kids all have the emotional vocabulary none of us had when we were their age. LOL.)
Now that we’ve seen this film in theaters, we’re ready for round two — couch edition! Yes, we’re already thinking about when we’ll get to watch it again on Disney+ in the comfort of our homes and fuzzy slippers. Let’s talk about it!
