food IS a theme park
When we say we go to Disney World every day, we’re not being dramatic. It’s true! We visit Magic Kingdom at LEAST twice a week, and with all those visits to the parks, we’ve found a few tried-and-true products along the way.
Cinderella Castle
Lucky for you, we’ve tested all kinds of items, and we know what’s worth a splurge! Come with us to see the five BEST essentials you need for Disney World — all for under $100.

Disneyland Paris is currently undergoing a massive transformation at their second park.
An aerial look at the future of Walt Disney Studios Park, to be renamed to Disney Adventure World in 2026. @Disney
Currently named Walt Disney Studios Park, this park will be renamed Disney Adventure World when their huge expansion opens in 2026, which will include World of Frozen and a new Lion King Land. However, this isn’t the only area of the park currently under construction — right now, when you enter the park, you’ll notice that everything is behind walls as it’s overhauled, but now we have some concept art to show us what the new entrance will look like!
Walt Disney has fascinated many Americans for decades.

His life has certainly been well documented, and there are countless historic photos of Walt and his work preserved in company and family archives, as well as in Museums. And let’s not forget about news organizations who covered Walt throughout his life. Now, the New York Times has quite literally uncovered a lost photo of Walt Disney.
One of the hardest things about travel days is dealing with airport security.
Orlando International Airport
This is especially true if you’re flying out of a massive airport like Orlando International Airport (MCO) because lines can easily be half an hour to an hour long during busy times, and if you haven’t planned well enough, it could cause you to miss your flight! However, there’s a FREE way you can skip the security line at MCO, but heads up — it’s MOVED in the airport!
I love it when my two favorite things come together. First, I’m a Disney Parks fan and try to visit every chance I can (and when my budget allows). But I also LOVE Star Wars, which means when I’m headed to Disney World or Disneyland, I’m going to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge FIRST.

That also means multiple rides on Star Tours, at least until I finally get chosen as the Rebel Spy (y’all, I literally dressed up as Jyn Erso and STILL didn’t get to be the Rebel Spy, so I have NO idea how that works, but tell Disney I really really want that honor, please?). Okay, I digress…I also love the new Star Wars shows that we’ve been getting on Disney+, including the latest series Skeleton Crew. But the best part of Skeleton Crew is that it has obviously been created by people who love Disney, specifically Disney Parks. That means you’ll find TONS of Disney Parks Easter Eggs in each episode — and I AM HERE FOR IT.
Staying at a Disney World hotel has many different perks.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
You’ve got free transportation to and from the Disney World parks, Early Entry to any of the four parks every day, and Extended Evening Hours on select nights if you’re staying at a Deluxe Resort. Another perk you can take advantage of is Resort Refillable Mugs, which are only available to those staying at a Disney World Hotel for an additional fee. But is anyone still using this perk, or are they just sitting there?
Disney World’s newest hotel tower, Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, opens in just a few days, but we recently got a chance to see it EARLY.
Island Tower
We had the opportunity to step inside the hotel and check out its gorgeous lobby, as well as visit a variety of room types. We also spent some time chilling out in the Terrace Gardens, as well as check out some of the food from the tower’s new restaurant, Wailulu Bar & Grill. But there was one thing that struck us as odd when we first stepped inside the new expansion: something BIG is missing from this hotel.
When you stay at a Disney World hotel, there are quite a few RULES in place that you might not realize!
Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
From “quiet hours” to safety procedures (like no running on the pool deck!) there are quite a few rules that guests have to follow. But on the other hand, there are also hotel rules that Disney has to follow. They have specific cancelation policies, safety regulations, and more. But there’s one hotel rule that we wish Disney would ACTUALLY enforce.
Big changes are coming to Disney World in 2025.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
We’re about to see a lot of construction as EPCOT finishes up its reimagining of Test Track and Magic Kingdom starts work on its Cars expansion and Villains land. Hollywood Studios will be building a Monsters, Inc. land, while Animal Kingdom will be transforming Dinoland, U.S.A. into Pueblo Esperanza, a Tropical Americas-themed land. However, something ELSE is coming to Disney World, too, on January 1st — and it’s going to be a game-changer for folks staying at Disney World hotels.
When you’re choosing a Disney World park to go to based on the rides alone, you really can’t go wrong with going to Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Tower Hotel
You’ve got some of the top rides at this park – Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, and the list keeps on going. Speaking of the Tower of Terror, we think there’s a couple of new rules that could be added to this ride, so let’s go over them!
