food IS a theme park
We get that change is inevitable — especially at Disney World –but that doesn’t always mean it’s necessary.
Magic Kingdom
This year has been PACKED with new theme park additions and changes, including several Lightning Lane adjustments. With the existence of Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass in addition to the future rollout of Lightning Lane Premier Pass, Lightning Lane access has never been higher — which spells trouble for standby lines at Disney World.
I SEE you hovering your mouse over the “checkout” button on the Disney World website, you’re all ready to commit to a hotel room that’ll become your “home away from home.”

But before you make that final click of confirmation, WATCH THIS VIDEO and make sure that the room you’re ABOUT to purchase isn’t actually gonna be the WORST decision for your 2025 vacation.
There are quite a few technicalities to work out if you’re planning a Disney World trip.
Magic Kingdom
What time of year do you want to visit? Where do you want to stay? Which dining reservations would you like to make? All important questions that can make or break your vacation. But for the past few years, we’ve had to ask one particularly difficult question…how do you want to get from the Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort?
Unfortunately, price increases are part of being a Disney World fanatic.
Cinderella Castle
Every once in a while, Disney World will raise prices on things like hotel rooms, theme parks tickets, or our favorite snacks. It’s just something that we’ve all had to learn to deal with over the years as vacations get more expensive. And now, another price increase is going to affect your next trip!
It is almost time for Disney World to transform into a winter wonderland for the holidays!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
On top of all the beautiful Christmas decor around all the resorts and across all four theme parks, Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select nights. This party is a specialty ticketed event that includes party-exclusive entertainment like Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade. Of course, there are also tons of holiday-themed snacks, and Disney just released its official foodie guide for this year’s parties! Let’s take a look!
The wait is FINALLY over, friends — this restaurant on Disney’s BoardWalk has opened its doors, and we couldn’t be happier!
The Cake Bake Shop
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers has been highly anticipated for many years now. Originally scheduled to open in 2023, the opening was pushed to early 2024…then Fall 2024, and here we are! Today, October 24th, The Cake Bake Shop soft opened the doors to its first Florida location — come take a look inside with us!
It’s officially happening: Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is set to open in May 2025.

We’ve been getting really excited as Universal has released more details about all five lands the new theme park will bring to Universal visitors: Celestial Park, Dark Universe, Super Nintendo World, Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, and How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. Tickets have already gone on sale for multi-day visits and packages to Universal Orlando, including Epic Universe, but SOON, select Universal visitors will be able to book single day tickets specifically for Epic Universe.
Sometimes, even we scratch our heads when it comes to some Disney souvenirs.
Balloons on Main Street
We certainly believe in “to each their own” when it comes to Disney Parks souvenirs. However, there’s one souvenir specifically that we just don’t get — while another continues to be an ELITE Disney gift!
Disney World has changed in a lot of ways throughout the past few decades, but one of the biggest ones is how much you use your phone now.
Spaceship Earth
In the past decade, using your phone in Disney World has become a necessity if you want to do all you want to get done — you’ve gotta use it to check wait times, book Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass selections, join a Virtual Queue, and you can also use it to see your PhotoPass photos and mobile order food. Sure, you can do Disney World without your phone, but it does make things harder. This means that you’ll be using up a lot of your battery in the park, and it’s important to have a phone that can handle everything. We did the research, and these are the phones that will NOT survive a Disney World day easily.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is located at Disney’s BoardWalk. We have been keeping a close eye on the restaurant for a long time now, and we are eagerly awaiting its grand opening.
The Cake Bake Shop
Seating has popped up outside and we have seen private events happening recently, so we are hoping this new restaurant will open its doors soon. We got a glimpse at the menu ahead of the restaurant’s opening a few weeks ago, and we recently noticed that something has CHANGED!
