Could it really be true? Is it actually FINALLY happening??

Disney has been teasing us with little updates and reminders about a HUGE expansion that’s being planned for Magic Kingdom. Up until now, it’s seemed like every announcement is more and more vague, without any concrete promises. But it looks like Disney might be finally putting this plan into action! [Read more…]
Disney’s $60 billion expansion plans aren’t quite what you think they are.

Back in September 2023, Disney announced a massive investment in park expansions in the next ten years, but the company has largely been quiet on what exactly can we expect from these expansions. Now, Disney CEO Bob Iger is sharing more on what that $60 billion will cover.
Many Disney fans spend a lot of time watching for new titles coming to Disney+. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film just had a HUGE premiere on Disney+ last month.

And on April 3rd, Disney’s latest animated film, Wish, became available for streaming! But Disney just announced a NEW series that you might love — and you’ll need to find it on a different platform.

The Disney Dining Plan is BACK at Disney World. This prepaid meal option was unavailable for YEARS but finally returned in early 2024. Since its return, select guests have been able to take advantage of SPECIAL Dining Plan deals, and now we’ve got a NEW one to tell you about!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new roller coaster in EPCOT (well, it opened in 2022, so it’s new-ish 😂) but it quickly became a fan-favorite ride as soon as it opened. In fact, lots of people I know claim it’s their FAVORITE ride in all of Disney World. And it’s not hard to see why!
Cosmic Rewind
The coaster has a thrilling backward launch, a super fun storyline with hilarious characters, and some of the best music of any Disney ride. If you’re also a big fan of this ride, we just found some Loungefly bags that we think you’ll LOVE!
Driving to Disney World is a viable option for many people.
Welcome to Disney World
If you’re a Florida resident, you probably find yourself driving to the parks more often than others aside from folks driving there from the airport. If you do indeed drive there, and you happen to own an electric vehicle, you might want to pay attention to this super cool road news! (Seriously, this is really neat.)
We absolutely LOVE seeing celebrities post about being at Disney World.

It’s so much fun to see what they wear to the parks, where they choose to pose, and the things they choose to do to build their perfect park day. Recently, we’ve seen celebrities from Jason Kelce, to Olivia Rodrigo, to Queen Latifah visiting the parks. Another celebrity just posted on Instagram about their time at Disney World, and it truly reminded us that celebrities are just like us. But rich. And insanely gorgeous.

Sixteen hotels in Disney World will offer Extended Evening Hours in 2025 — Let’s take a look! [Read more…]
Okay, we’ll admit it. We love Up. Yes, the movie makes us cry RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING, but it’s such a charming movie, with such wonderful characters.

Although most of the record-breaking spring break crowds have come and gone through the Orlando Airport, that doesn’t mean travelers are safe from unexpected flight cancelations and delays. In fact, we’re seeing more delays now, April 3rd, than we did during the busy month of March.
