food IS a theme park
When you are in the mood for some New Orleans vibes, there is no better place to go than Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. There are lots of fun decorations, and of course BEIGNETS!

However, before we all get too excited, we aren’t headed to get beignets. In fact, where we are going, they don’t even serve beignets. GASP!
Now is the perfect time to plan a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The park is about to celebrate its 35th anniversary, an exclusive merchandise event is coming soon, and we’ve recently discovered some new favorite eats, too. But, while you’re doing your planning, you might want to make sure you’re not visiting Hollywood Studios on this particular date.
Disney has made a big push in recent years to bring the “at home” experience and the “in park” experience together.

We’ve seen talks of a “metaverse” (though you won’t catch CEO Bob Iger using that word anytime soon) and have even seen Disney integrate a shopping feature into Disney+. And now, this new update on Disney+ is bringing the theme parks into your living room in a way we’ve never seen before!
There is something about the crystal-clear waters and hustle and bustle of Disney Springs that makes us so happy.
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is jam-packed with delicious restaurants, fantastic live entertainment, and world-class shopping. You can find over 150 stores and kiosks while exploring Disney Springs, stocking everything from Disney merchandise to Under Armour t-shirts. Recently, we spotted an UNUSUAL discount available at this shopper’s paradise!
Packing for Disney World can be super stressful, but that’s why we’re here!
EPCOT
We’re here to help you pack for your trip by telling you what you should and shouldn’t pack for your trip so it’s a little less overwhelming. Now some things are genuinely not necessary for your trip, but if someone tries to tell you THESE things are unnecessary…well, we have to disagree.
Disney World isn’t the only theme park with new lands in the works!

DreamWorks Land has been well underway at Universal Studios and we can’t wait for it to open! There will be lands dedicated to Shrek, Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda, and we’ve been looking for as many details as we can get — we just didn’t have an official opening date for this new land. But, that’s officially changed!
Calling all Disney tiki mug collectors! There are four NEW mugs available online now, and we know you’re gonna want to check them out!
Target
You can find Disney-themed tiki mugs at the parks, but you can also get them online from places like Amazon, Target, and BoxLunch. Target just debuted four new mugs that are themed to some iconic Disney characters!
We have been keeping up with all the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction and announcements.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We go to Disney World every day, and it’s pretty hard to miss this new ride. So when we notice some changes, we’re ready to tell you about them! We know that the ride in Magic Kingdom will be opening sometime this summer (the Disneyland version will open “later in 2024”), but we don’t know exactly what day. Every time we see more details added, more scaffolding down, or the ride being tested, we know that it can’t be too far away. Now, we have a few new updates that we’ve noticed in the past few days!
OH NO. You planned a Disney World vacation, booking your hotel and plane tickets, only to realize that the UNTHINKABLE has happened: the parks are SOLD OUT on the days you were planning to visit!
Cinderella Castle
Or, perhaps all the dates of your planned visit are available except for ONE. It’s rare, but it DOES happen. We’re here to give you all of our best tips from avoiding this scenario to options that you have if you’re visiting Disney World or live nearby and one of your desired dates is sold out. Let’s go!
If you ask us, Cast Members can be the most magical parts of a Disney World vacation.
We LOVE Cast Members!
They make all the magic happen — whether they’re serving up your favorite treat, launching you on your favorite ride, or talking to you about your favorite animal on the savanna. On a recent trip to Magic Kingdom, we spotted some Cast Members wearing brand-new costumes and thought we’d give you the full look!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
