food IS a theme park
The availability of one of our favorite Disney wait time tricks is dwindling for the year.
After Hours at EPCOT
Waiting in long lines is as much a part of the Disney World experience as photos by Cinderella Castle and meeting Mickey Mouse. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to mitigate the wait. For example, Disney After Hours events used to be a great way to experience some of the resort’s best attractions with much shorter lines. Unfortunately, we’re running out of events for 2024…
A building in EPCOT is being repurposed for several weeks, and only certain people will be allowed inside!
EPCOT
It’s possible that not every Disney fan would be able to point out the Odyssey pavilion on a map, but if you’ve been to any of the EPCOT festivals, there’s a good chance that you’ve been inside it! This pavilion is frequently used to house EPCOT festival booths — it has hosted booths like Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Festival of the Arts and Brew-Wing at the Food & Wine Festival. Most recently, it’s been the home of Citrus Blossom at the Flower & Garden Festival (and if you haven’t gotten the tasty Orange Sesame Tempura Shrimp there yet, HURRY! They’ll only be around for about another week!).
Soon, the Odyssey will be repurposed, and this time it’s NOT going to be an EPCOT festival booth.
One of Disney Springs‘ most popular restaurants is offering Memorial Day Brunch!
Chef Art Smith himself.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ has quickly become a favorite at Disney Springs thanks to its homestyle menu, which pays homage to “Florida’s rich agricultural heritage by highlighting local ingredients and farm-to-table cuisine.” One of the establishment’s most beloved offerings is the Southern Brunch offered on weekends from 9AM-1PM. Reservations often fill up quickly, however, next week there’ll be an EXTRA shot at grabbing one…
Disney is known for employing hundreds of thousands of people, but much of that has changed as of late.
Walt Disney Studios
The Walt Disney Company has recently been restructured, and unfortunately, that included around 7,000 layoffs across various departments. The last round of layoffs took place in 2023, and now, it sounds like even more job cuts are on the way.
If there’s one thing we love, it’s a hidden detail in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Searching for everything from hidden Mickeys to Imagineering nods around the parks is so much fun, especially as you gain more knowledge about Disney and its background. Then sharing those secrets with your family and friends makes the process even more exciting! But sometimes, there are little details that we don’t always understand, but we love to find them anyway. Like Magic Kingdom’s collection of tiny doors!
Being a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder can come with some pretty sweet perks. Universal is currently offering special benefits to its Passholders for a limited time during May, however, that’s not the only perk that’s currently up for grabs!
The new Trollercoaster!
We’ve already gotten a sneak peek of what will be waiting for us at Universal Studio’s newest land when it finally opens later this summer. However, if you’re a Universal Passholder, you should definitely keep an eye on your email inbox! [Read more…]

Calling all Tangled and Rapunzel fans! Fantasy Springs is FINALLY here, and so are its NEW RIDES — including one themed to the iconic Disney movie starring our favorite blondie.
Let’s go to the Lantern Festival!
Tokyo DisneySea’s highly anticipated new land, Fantasy Springs, is opening on June 6th; but we’re getting the chance to ride the land’s three BRAND NEW RIDES, including one based on a beloved Disney film that’s NEVER had a ride before. Welcome to Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival!
We can’t wait for the reopening of Rock n’ Roller Coaster!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
This popular ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been closed for refurbishment since January 8th, 2024. But, other than “summer 2024,” we weren’t quite sure when it would be opening. And, while Disney still hasn’t made any official announcements yet, we spotted something on the Disney World app that makes us think we know when we can experience this attraction once again!
