food IS a theme park
We talk all the time about how buying the right shoes for Disney World is of UTMOST importance.
You’re going to do a LOT of walking!
And that’s because it’s TRUE. We’ve heard countless stories about how not wearing the right shoes was incredibly detrimental to our readers’ trips, whether it’s because they bought new shoes and didn’t break them in before the trip, or just brought the wrong shoes. If you’re looking for shoes that 100% won’t let you down, it’s time to grab some Hokas!
Remember those good ol’ days at Disney World?

When you ask any Disney World fan about their favorite memories, you’ll most likely hear about classic rides, magical characters, and unforgettable experiences. But what about the things that used to be normal at Disney World in the past that would seem downright BIZARRE today? To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on some of the things you’d never believe used to be normal in Disney World!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers out there!
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Being a Mom is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and that can be increased tenfold when you’re on a Disney World vacation. Tensions can run high as the temperatures climb, rides will close and mess up your plans for the day, and you’re trying to make sure everyone has the best vacation they can. We found something that can make one part of your vacation easier though, so don’t pass by this the next time you’re in Magic Kingdom!
We’ve all done it: who among us has NOT stood in a long line at Starbucks at Disney World?
China Pavilion at EPCOT
Whether we’re visiting Creature Comforts in Animal Kingdom, Trolley Car Cafe in Hollywood Studios, Connections Cafe in EPCOT, or Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom, sometimes we just need our Starbucks fix. In the summer, we like to go for a Starbucks Refresher, and recently, we even tried one of the NEW menu additions, the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher. Well, we now know where to get something almost IDENTICAL WITHOUT the long line.
For most people, rope-dropping a Disney World park means making a beeline for a popular ride. But in EPCOT, we’ve got a surprising spot at the top of our priority list!
France Pavilion
In Disney terminology “rope-dropping” means being at the park right when it opens. Usually, guests at the park for rope drop will use this time to head straight for one of the most popular rides, with the hope of getting in line before the wait times climb super high. But hear us out — in EPCOT, there’s a restaurant you might want to rope drop instead of an attraction!
Okay, Disney, alright, already. We’ve been getting all these updates about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World…but we’re still reeling after a BIG announcement was possibly leaked EARLY.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is the BIG new attraction opening SOON in Magic Kingdom. We’ve seen some of the INCREDIBLE animatronics that will be featured on the ride. We’ve even seen Imagineers testing the ride. But up until now, all we’ve known is that the ride is opening in summer 2024. Well, summer is here, and we think Disney could be revealing big news about the ride TONIGHT, May 12th.
We still don’t have a lot of details about this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but one thing we do know: We expect it to be VERY different this year.
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
For starters, Disney has moved the first date of the festival back to August 29th, which was around the time the festival started BEFORE 2020. However, we think this year’s festival is going to bring three BIG changes and we want to prepare you for those ahead of time because they will matter.
We went INSIDE Tokyo Disney’s newest land – Fantasy Springs – and we’re bringing you along with us to be one of the first to experience this massive park expansion.
Hey, Maximus!
Brand new rides with jaw dropping ride tech, wildly immersive theming, and roast beef popcorn – you don’t want to miss this!
Well, this is interesting.

For MONTHS, we’ve been watching all of the progress happening in Magic Kingdom as Splash Mountain is transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’ve been watching for updates about the ride’s animatronics, eagerly awaiting the chance to smell beignets in the queue(!!), and sharing the latest news with you. Disney already announced that the ride would be opening in Magic Kingdom in the summer of 2024, but then we got a SURPRISE announcement.
