food IS a theme park
Sometimes, even we scratch our heads when it comes to some Disney souvenirs.

We certainly believe in “to each their own” when it comes to Disney Parks souvenirs. However, there’s one souvenir specifically that we just don’t get — while another continues to be an ELITE Disney gift!
Disney World has changed in a lot of ways throughout the past few decades, but one of the biggest ones is how much you use your phone now.
Spaceship Earth
In the past decade, using your phone in Disney World has become a necessity if you want to do all you want to get done — you’ve gotta use it to check wait times, book Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass selections, join a Virtual Queue, and you can also use it to see your PhotoPass photos and mobile order food. Sure, you can do Disney World without your phone, but it does make things harder. This means that you’ll be using up a lot of your battery in the park, and it’s important to have a phone that can handle everything. We did the research, and these are the phones that will NOT survive a Disney World day easily.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is located at Disney’s BoardWalk. We have been keeping a close eye on the restaurant for a long time now, and we are eagerly awaiting its grand opening.
The Cake Bake Shop
Seating has popped up outside and we have seen private events happening recently, so we are hoping this new restaurant will open its doors soon. We got a glimpse at the menu ahead of the restaurant’s opening a few weeks ago, and we recently noticed that something has CHANGED!
It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year!
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is returning in 2024! This festival is a celebration of holiday traditions around the world, with exclusive eats, mesmerizing merchandise, exciting entertainment, and more. One of the BEST parts of the festival is the Candlelight Processional…and we officially have all the details and pricing!
We’re here at Disneyland to cover the debut of the Lightning Lane Premiere Pass!
Disneyland
We’re conquering every ride included with the Premier Pass and, in the process, learning a thing or two about the new skip-the-line system. While we were prepared for most things the Premier Pass had to offer — including its astronomical price — there were some surprises with the new system that we have to tell you about! [Read more…]
Are you looking to skip the line on your upcoming Disney World vacation?
Lightning Lane
Over the summer, Disney changed their skip-the-line service from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane became Lightning Lane Single Pass. The new Multi Pass system works similarly to its predecessor, FastPass+. You can now book your Lightning Lane selections and view prices before your trip. Those staying at Disney World hotels can book seven days before their trip, and the general public can book three days before their trip. Multi Pass is also broken up into tiers. You can choose one attraction from tier one and two attractions from tier two to start. If you are wondering which Lightning Lanes you should prioritize in 2025, we have you covered!
It’s baaaaack. If you’ve been waiting for your chance to be part of Disneyland Resort’s Annual Pass program, you need to listen up. Unlike Disney World’s Annual Passes, the selection at Disneyland is not available to purchase 365 days a year. In fact, Disneyland Magic Key Passes are unavailable for a good portion of the year.

Although Magic Key sales are currently paused, Disney recently revealed some pretty significant price increases. We had a feeling that this meant Magic Key Passes would go on sale soon, and sure enough, Disney just dropped some big news about when these passes will go on sale.
There are SO many quick service spots in EPCOT, how do you choose where to go for a cheap meal?
Spaceship Earth
With restaurants in all the World Showcase pavilions, plus a few options near the front of the park, you can get a wide variety of cuisine options around this park. But have you ever been to the food court? I took a trip there for lunch recently, and my experience was not what I expected!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you might want to apologize to your wallet beforehand.

Planning a trip to Disney World is tricky enough before even factoring in cost. We’re no strangers to Disney World price increases, as we’ve seen things like ticket prices and Lightning Lane costs get more expensive this year. Unfortunately, the blows aren’t slowing down as Disney World has increased food costs across their resorts.
It’s a BIG day in Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland
Today (October 23rd), Disney is launching its new Lightning Lane Premier Pass service on the West Coast (before it launches in Disney World next week), and we’re here to try it out. Is this new offering for skipping the long lines worth the cost? We’re about to find out.
