food IS a theme park
If you are headed to or from Florida during this holiday week, you’re going to need to add a few dollars to your gas budget.
Gas prices have jumped in Florida.
In mid-December, Floridians were enjoying the lowest gas prices in more than two years, with an average price of $2.92.
Whether you’re team Starbucks or team Joffrey’s, there are plenty of places to get a cup of joe around Disney World.
COFFEE
While both have their perks, Joffrey’s in particular has some Disney-themed offerings that are worth checking out. From character latte art to themed coffee blends, there are all kinds of ways that coffee lovers can celebrate their Disney fandoms. Now, a new blend has hit shelves, and we think princess fans are going to love it.
New Happy Meal toys were released today!!
McDonald’s
You know we’ve become big fans of McDonald’s Happy Meals (yes, we realize we are grown adults, but we are kids at heart!). We just can’t help ourselves when they come out with the coolest toys in the fun, red boxes. When they brought us Disney100 toys, we went on a spree to try to collect all 60 of them. And now, for the first time ever, they have come out with new Squishmallow Happy Meal toys! Yes, we RAN to McDonald’s today to make sure we got one.
Whew! We’re almost there, you guys!Â
2024 will be an exciting time!
By “almost there,” we mean that we have almost made it through the busy holiday season at Disney World. One more major holiday is approaching, and yes, it’ll definitely bring the crowds. That’s right, we’re talking about New Year’s Eve!Â
There are a lot of restaurants in Magic Kingdom, and to state it plainly, some of them just aren’t good.
Cosmic Ray’s
We have our favorite restaurants that we’ll recommend to you time and time again, and one restaurant has started to redeem itself after a long history of disappointment, but easily one of the worst restaurants you can go to is Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. However, there are a few redeeming factors about this spot, so here’s us putting up our best defense for Cosmic Ray’s.
There are a lot of exciting things happening in Disney World in 2024, but one thing we are especially looking forward to is the new restaurant coming to Disney’s BoardWalk.

The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is scheduled to open in early 2024, when it will serve items for brunch, lunch, and dinner featuring both sweet and savory menus, as well as an afternoon tea service. While the restaurant was originally supposed to open in 2023, the project was delayed — but the dining location is currently making one big step toward opening.
2024 is bringing some serious changes to Disney World.Â
2024 will be an exciting time!
The best part? 2024 is only a few days away! While most of these changes won’t actually go into effect until January 9th, we’re excited nonetheless. One of the biggest changes taking place is the removal of park pass reservation requirements for most ticketed visitors. After the 9th, you’ll no longer need a park pass reservation to enter a park — with the exception of Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. With that update comes another HUGE update hidden inside — and a lot of folks might not know about this yet.
You’ll find some incredible dining experiences across Disney World.
EPCOT
From Michelin-recognized fine dining to quick-service locations with a ton of flavor, there is something for all kinds of preferences throughout the parks. EPCOT, specifically, has a wide range of restaurants around the World Showcase, but one in particular is a winner for those looking for elevated Japanese cuisine. Takumi-Tei, the most expensive restaurant in EPCOT, serves a prix-fixe omakase-style menu, but did you know the dining location offers a special add-on experience to tailor your meal?
No one likes to admit when they’re wrong, but we’re here to call you out on rules you’ve been breaking every day at Disney World.
It’s Stitch!
You’ve planned everything from where you’re going to call home during your Disney World vacation to what you’re going to eat but you’ve probably not taken into consideration the actions you choose to take at Disney World that actually break their rules! [Read more…]
Flying during the holidays can be stressful.
Orlando International Airport
From lost luggage to missed flights, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Unfortunately, these inconveniences aren’t the only thing you have to be careful of. Last week, one family had a much bigger nightmare happen when their unaccompanied child ended up on the wrong plane.
