food IS a theme park
Many cities and states are still in the process of cleaning up after the devastating hit of Hurricane Helene, but now, a new area is being closely tracked by the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Depression 14 is being monitored by the NHC and many other local news sources. Here’s what you need to know.
Hotels in Disney World are known for many things — their Disney magic, free transportation to and from the Disney parks, incredible theming, and so much more.

However, many families absolutely adore the pools at Disney World hotels and all the fun and relaxation they can offer. Some of the most iconic pools around the hotels are the Fuentes del Morro pool at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, and while those are beautiful and bursting with fun, sometimes you want a quiet, relaxing time by the pool. Contrary to popular belief, those DO exist, and we’ve gotta talk about them.
As of July 24th, 2024, Disney Genie and Genie+ is now Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lanes are now Lightning Lane Single Pass. These services are bringing big changes to the way we plan for (and budget) our days in the parks.
Lightning Lane
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a PAID service that replaces what used to be known as FastPass+. The days of booking a return time for your favorite ride at no additional cost are behind us (RIP). Now, guests must purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass if they want to experience an expedited wait.
Do you enjoy collecting fun souvenirs while you visit the Disney World parks?
Hollywood Studios
Disney offers a huge variety of souvenirs at its many shops and stands. Some are great for at home, while others are useful when you’re in the parks. Two items we love grabbing to use while we’re wandering around — popcorn buckets and drink sippers! Disney is known to sell some creative popcorn buckets and sippers, and the latest sipper is a Toy Story fan’s dream.
Disney World Cast Members get a lot of perks when they work at the parks.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Cast Members
Besides getting free entry into the parks, Cast Members get special discounts throughout the year on shopping and dining. They get to shop at the “Disney World Cast Member Costco,” otherwise known as the Cast Member store, Cast Connections. Cast Members can even enter into weekly raffles and win cool prizes. One of the coolest perks of being a Cast Member is getting to work at the Most Magical Place on Earth, and depending on your work location, you may even be able to see a nighttime spectacular like fireworks!
Okay, we know you might not be quite ready for the holiday season yet, as it is STILL technically spooky season, but it’s never too early to start THINKING about the holidays, right?
Holiday decorations on Main Street, U.S.A.
We’re saying this because the holidays have already arived at The Disney Store, and SO many amazing Disney holiday decorations and souvenirs are now available. However, one souvenir is probably going to be more popular than ANYTHING else, and yes, it’s that massive light-up Mickey ornament figure. Well, if you’ve had your eye on that item, IT’S AVAILABLE ONLINE NOW!
Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and when it comes to movies, we love being able to return to those characters that we loved, especially in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Yep, bring on the Millennial nostalgia!!!

We still need to be pinched that we finally got a sequel to Hocus Pocus, and we’re even getting a sequel to Freaky Friday. Well, another fave Millennial Disney movie is getting a sequel. Yep, that’s right, The Princess Diaries 3 is FINALLY HAPPENING. No, we’re not just making it up. It’s been confirmed and everything!

After a long day in the parks, you may be starving.

Quick-service food courts at some resorts used to be open super late, some even 24 hours a day, but now, for the most part, the latest these restaurants stay open is 11 PM. Still, 11 PM is late and gives you enough time to make it back to your resort for a late-night dinner. We recently stayed at Port Orleans, and we still think they have one of the best late-night dinners at Disney World.
Let the countdown begin! We’re just a few short hours away from Target’s BIG savings event. Are you ready? Get ready! As if we needed another excuse to go to Target…they went and announced another BIG Target Circle Week event. So, of course, we’re THERE.
