food IS a theme park
Splash Mountain is set to get a Princess and the Frog re-theming at some point in the future, but for the moment the attraction is still running in Magic Kingdom in its current form.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen extremely long lines for Splash Mountain merchandise in the past, but today the line for Splash Mountain itself was so long it had us saying “my oh my, what a CRAZY day!”
We’re not going to lie — Baby Yoda stole our hearts during season 1 of The Mandalorian on Disney+. And we know we’re not alone, because Disney has released a TON of Baby Yoda merchandise — Pez dispensers, spirit jerseys, mugs, blankets, ornaments, and more!
Baby Yoda Blanket
We are so ready to indulge our obsession with Baby Yoda even more during The Mandalorian’s upcoming second season. And we’ve got the PERFECT headwear for watching the first episode on October 30th.
Earlier this year, Annual Passholders were given the opportunity to extend or cancel their passes.
Tinker Bell Magnet
If you are an Annual Passholder on a monthly payment plan, you may have already received or may soon be receiving some important information from Disney regarding extensions to your pass.
We’re sloooooooowly seeing the return of more and more of our favorite Disney World restaurants. We recently got to chow down for the reopening of Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Chefs de France
Plus, did you know that ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios opened TODAY!? And it’s not the only one. One of our FAVORITE Disney World table-service restaurants has strolled back onto the scene. Chefs de France is OPEN!
We’re celebrating spooky season the right way in Disney World with all kinds of Oogie Boogie fun!
Oogie Boogie Worms ‘N’ Dirt Sundae
From an Ooogie Boogie Worms ‘n’ Dirt Sundae to Oogie Boogie sightings during the character cavalcades, we’ve enjoyed seeing this villainous character in different forms around Disney. But now, you can take Oogie Boogie around with you everywhere in a stylish new way.
Despite calls from Disney executives for the California Governor to release theme park reopening guidelines, Disneyland is still unable to reopen.
The Disneyland Hotel
It has been over six months since the Disneyland Resort closed and tens of thousands of folks have seen their vacations postponed or canceled. Disneyland has slowly been canceling vacations scheduled for October, and now another round of cancellations has popped up even later in the month.

Guests at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have an extra treat to look forward to this Halloween season at the Resort!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
During our visit to the Lodge yesterday, we discovered the Wilderness Lodge Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt, simply perfect for the Spooky Season! If you’ve ever stayed at Wilderness Lodge, you may be familiar with the popular Hidden Mickey Hunt here (which, for future reference, offers a ton of year-round fun). The Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt is a similar concept… only instead of our pal, Mickey, you’ll be searching for pumpkins featuring those famous Disney Villains! [Read more…]
There are several construction projects going on around Disney World that we’ve been keeping an eye on.
TRON Construction
Over at Magic Kingdom, we’ve got the TRON construction in progress. Plus, there’s some construction going on at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, as well as the Star Wars hotel elsewhere on property. Recently, we added another project to our watch list — the Magic Kingdom entry sign paint job.
The 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is a little bit different than the ones from past years.
Chocolate Studio Booth
No, we may not have the same great entertainment we’re used to, and yes, it is weird to do Food & Wine with all of the health procedures. But we CAN still visit OVER 20 Food & Wine Festival Booths around the World Showcase — and now another favorite booth is set to return!
When Disney World reopened this summer, a lot of places within Disney World didn’t. But recently, we’ve seen that begin to change, with restaurant reopenings happening across all four theme parks!
ABC Commissary Reopening
We were delighted to see the return of Cinderella’s Royal Table (WITH Cinderella!), as well as the reopening of one of our favorite watering holes Dawa Bar. And many more locations are reopening every day!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
