When visiting the Disney World parks, you’ll probably spy a fanny pack or belt bag in any direction you turn.

They’ve truly taken over the parks (and internet) by storm and don’t seem to be going away any time soon. Worn as crossbody bags, they’re especially convenient at Disney World since you can fit a pretty impressive amount of things inside while still keeping things pretty compact. Plus, you typically won’t even have to take it off your person in order to go on rides. Except…sometimes, a belt bag just doesn’t cut it.
Major policy changes were recently announced for Disney World and Disneyland.

Disney announced that their Disability Access Service will soon be changing in the U.S. parks. These changes will include a new system of approval for DAS, a new timeline for using DAS, and reducing pre-entitlements for DAS users. Disney hopes to preserve the service for the visitors that it is designed to accommodate while making sure they are going to the appropriate people. Now, some folks are disagreeing with the changes being made and are planning to take a stand for fairness and inclusivity.
We’re sure you’ve been watching a lot of good stuff on Disney+ this month, especially now that we’re on the last season of the Star Wars series The Bad Batch.

Of course, we also have to mention that Wish, Disney’s most recent animated movie, is out now, too. We also bet that the new Bluey special STILL has you crying (because we were BAWLING). So, if you need more stuff to watch, you might want to check out the new shows and movies that are coming to Hulu (which is now part of Disney+ if you subscribe to both services).
It may be called The Most Magical Place On Earth, but Disney World can (on occasion) also be the WEIRDEST.

We visit Disney World practically every day and during our park visits, we often come across things that are charming and/or nostalgia-inducing. After all, that’s what Disney World is supposed to provide. However, no matter how good Disney is at controlling an environment, we still encounter the weird and abnormal from time to time.
Disney fans, it’s time to get EXCITED. We’re here with an update on the vote for Disneyland’s $1.9 billion park expansion.
Disneyland
Announced in 2021, DisneylandForward came into play as a multi-year Disneyland and Anaheim Resort expansion and redesign that would expand and update two existing approvals from the 1990s. In layman’s terms, DisneylandForward would not only allow extra theme park development to the land surrounding the Disneyland Resort, but also expand the resort’s lodging, retail, parking, and dining options. Over the past few months, Disney representatives have been meeting with Anaheim’s city council to shed more light on the proposed plans — attempting to gain the council’s vote in favor of the expansion. Now, we have an update!
Sometimes, it’s like we forget that Disney World has a LOT of parks!
Magic Kingdom
I mean, with four parks, it can be hard to keep track of them all, let alone try to prioritize them when you have limited time on vacation. For example, EPCOT has all the best food, Hollywood Studios has all the best rides, Animal Kingdom has the vibes, and then… Magic Kingdom just slips to the bottom of our list sometimes, especially after we’ve been so frequently! To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on whether or not you ever skip Magic Kingdom when you go to Disney World!
