food IS a theme park
Living in Florida totally has its perks.
Cinderella Castle
It’s basically summer year-round, you can DRIVE to Disney World, and you even get some pretty nifty Disney World discounts. Speaking of which, there’s a NEW ONE that you Florida folks can take advantage of. Check it out!
When it comes to planning Disney World vacations, booking a hotel can be the most daunting part.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Aside from tickets, lodging is one of the most expensive aspects of visiting Disney World. Well, we’re here to share with you a NEW way to save. Are you in?! Let’s go!
If you love all things Disney World and Disney FOOD, then there’s a good chance you’ve considered the Disney Dining Plan for your vacations. And we’ve got some SERIOUSLY good news that’s gonna save you some CASH!

With the Disney Dining Plan, it can be EASIER to budget out all the theme park foods your heart desires. Disney has set up two versions of the Disney Dining Plan for different budgets and dining tastes. Plans are an optional add-on to your Disney World trip (including a stay at a Disney owned-and-operated hotel), so that all you have to do when you get to Disney World is head to one of the participating restaurants and scan your MagicBand or Disney MagicMobile pass.
Well…what if we told you that there’s a way you can snag your dining plan FOR FREE?
EPCOT is known for a lot of things.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Eating and drinking around the world and the World Showcase, in general, are two big things, but when we say EPCOT you also might think of one of the most popular rides in Disney World right now — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We ADORE this ride, but think some of the song choices could be refreshed just a little bit. We asked our readers on Facebook what they thought, and we fully support these suggestions!
Disney World certainly has some great dining at its parks and hotels.
Welcome to Disney Springs!
However, you can find even more amazing dining in Disney Springs, including several restaurants owned by celebrity chefs. However, we’re not going to concern ourselves with those restaurants right now because we’re here to help you dine on a budget by telling you about the cheapest meal we’ve had in Disney Springs and what’s so great about it.
We were recently able to get a special glimpse inside Walt Disney’s very own office!
Walt Disney’s preserved private desk.
Even though Walt Disney passed away back in December of 1966, his private office has been lovingly restored and maintained by the dutiful staff of the Walt DisneyArchives. Each detail has been meticulously maintained to achieve historical accuracy, ands give a glimpse into how Walt and his original Imagineers worked during the early golden age of Disney park development.
There is usually something closed in Disney World.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid will soon become “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure”
Sometimes rides need to be refurbished, or they are reimagined into new attractions. But in the past, Disney has closed multiple attractions over the years and just…never done anything else with them. Some of these attractions we’ve seen finally get a reopening date, but for others, we’re wondering if they’ll ever see guests again.
If you’re not able to visit Disney World every day but need all the Disney souvenirs, we suggest checking out Target!
Target
Target is literally our go-to for nearly everything (well, besides Amazon, of course). The superstore has so many great Disney toys, keepsakes, decor, and park essentials. We’re loving it even extra this week because this week is Target Circle Week! We’ve taken a peek through all the deals for today, April 8th, and we noticed some awesome prices on Disney LEGO sets — let’s check them out.
The Monorail is an iconic part of the parks. Walt Disney had a passion for trains, and the monorail was one of his dreams for the parks.
To this day, the monorail is a key form of transportation around Disney World, and it definitely has its own fan club. You can even find monorail merchandise!
It has been quite some time since we said goodbye to the Galactic Starcruiser.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The Galactic Starcruiser was the immersive Star Wars Hotel that could be found at Disney World. This was a great experience for those who wanted to be in the world of Star Wars. It was a very ambitious project for Disney, and it helped create a lot of memories for those who got to have this experience while it was open. Well, a Disney executive just opened up about some thoughts and feelings he has about the project — and it’s pretty heartwarming. [Read more…]
