food IS a theme park
Ho, ho, ho, happy…holidays? Wait a minute. Halloween hasn’t even happened yet! What’s going on, Disney?
It’s HERE!
We just visited Disney World and Disneyland, and we saw a strange trend taking over the gift shops. That’s right. Halloween is OUT. Christmas is IN. Who’s ready to shop for the holiday season? 🙋
Could a new theme park still be in the works in Oklahoma?

Universal has two projects in the works: Epic Universe at Universal Orlando and a new experience being built in Texas. But there is also another theme park that was in the process of being built in Oklahoma. What makes this $2 billion theme park and resort and project so unique? Well, it is being built by former Disney Imagineers!
BIG news, people! We’ve got an update on not one — but TWO upcoming Disney movies.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
That’s right, people. Disney just announced that two NEW movies are hitting theaters in 2025, and we can’t wait to learn more. Following the recent success of Inside Out 2, Disney has set the bar pretty high. So, what’s next for Disney? Let’s find out!
You never know who you might see in Disney World! Even on vacation hundreds of miles from home, we’ve bumped into friends and neighbors in the Disney parks. It’s such a fun surprise!
Hi, Mickey!
Sometimes, if you’re EXTRA lucky, you might even see a celebrity in the parks. The rare “celebrity sighting” is a bucket list item for many Disney fans, and if you happened to be in Disney World recently, you may have spotted a pop ICON.
We love Cast Members! They are what make Disney World such a magical place, and we can’t thank them enough for what they do every single day.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Disney World wouldn’t be the same without the Cast Members, and we wanted to talk about a rule at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT that Cast Members are begging you not to break.
Things aren’t “back to normal” in Florida quite yet.
Air travel
Two days after Florida was battered by Hurricane Milton, many of the state’s larger attractions and businesses have begun reopening. These include Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Orlando International Airport. However, while Orlando Airport is back open to commercial operation, that doesn’t mean things are going 100% smoothly.
We visit Disneyland several times each week to see what’s new!
Disneyland
We’re watching Disney put the finishing touches on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (it opens November 15th!), and we’re waiting for “it’s a small world” to re-open with its holiday overlay next month. But we’ve spotted another change in Disneyland — and you’ll have to look really closely to see it!
Isn’t staying at a Disney World hotel just the best?!
Coronado Springs
With all the amenities and immersion, it feels like there must be a little pixie dust at every turn. Disney definitely knows how to make your stay feel extra special. Speaking of amenities, we actually got to thinking about things that we could change about our hotels, and we wanted to get your thoughts on the matter. So we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Now, you definitely delivered. In fact, one particular comment stopped us in our tracks and had us thinking, “Wait a minute…where did this perk go?!”
Hurricane Milton ripped through Florida earlier this week. The powerful storm closed businesses, hotels, and even theme parks across the state. Disney World closed on October 9th and remained closed on October 10th. Now, on October 11th, the parks have reopened.
Magic Kingdom entrance
There has been a lot of discourse on social media about Hurricane Milton’s impacts at Disney World, and some false information has gained attention. Many people have asked questions like, “Did Disney World flood?” or “What happened to Cinderella Castle?“ We’re here to answer your questions and show you what Disney World looks like after Hurricane Milton.
It is hard to believe that we are under two months away from December.
December is almost here!
It has been a busy year for Disney World and the Walt Disney Company in general. Within this year, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the new Country Bear Jamboree opened in Magic Kingdom. The EPCOT Transformation was officially marked complete when CommuniCore Hall and Plaza opened. At D23, we got the announcement that eight new rides would make their way to Disney World. Genie+ changed to Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane changed to Lightning Lane Single Pass at both Disney World and Disneyland. We even got word that four more cruise ships would be joining the Disney Cruise Line line-up, making for a total of 13 ships in the fleet by 2031. It is crazy to look back on all that happened this year, but there is still more to come! Get ready for these two game-changers that will be coming this December!
