food IS a theme park
Did you know that Disney World has a COOKIE BAR now?!
Cookiessssss
Summer House on the Lake is a new restaurant in Disney Springs, and it opened with its own walk-up Cookie Bar on December 14th, 2023. You don’t need a reservation at the restaurant to check out The Cookie Bar, and if you’re in the mood for sweets, you’ll be happy to know that they have more than 15 different options! We stopped by on the first day it was open to try out some treats — and here’s how they ranked.
We’ve got great news if you’re going to Disney World this month or January 2024!
2024!
Disney World just extended the hours for three of the four theme parks, which means you get MORE time in the parks! [Read more…]
Deciding on what to see at the movie theaters in 2024 could have just become HARDER!
AMC Theater
2024 may be the year you finally get out to the theater, grab your popcorn and snacks, and settle down to see a movie you feel like you’ve waited years to see. But the question you may ask yourself is, which one first? Fandango recently surveyed moviegoers about their most anticipated films released over the next year and the answers they uncovered may surprise you. [Read more…]
According to The Walt Disney Company, the future is bright. Disney plans to invest a LOT into the Parks, Experiences, and Products division over the next decade (though by the time the proposed MEGA Magic Kingdom expansion is set to begin, CEO Bob Iger will no longer be in charge). Fans are hungry for new additions and large-scale expansions, but they may have to be patient.
Disney World
Disney is talking a big game. We’re expecting a TON of (expensive-sounding) changes, like a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge, an Animal Kingdom overhaul, a Test Track ride update, and a Magic Kingdom expansion rivaling the scale of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge addition in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But before we all get too excited, it’s worth noting that Bob Iger has a different priority, at least for now.
It hasn’t been the best year for The Walt Disney Company.
Magic Kingdom
Disney CEO Bob Iger has been in the news for comments on Disney’s “woke agenda” and the proxy battle that has just been launched against his leadership. But, with 2023 coming to a close, we’re learning more about just how Iger feels about himself.
When it comes to pretty much any question we have for anything, including our vacation and Disney World plans, Google is our go-to.Â
Disney World
Yep, when traveling pretty much anywhere, we’re just like you all and consult Google for airfare, hotels, and even general knowledge about the area. We have a pretty good guess that you guys are the same! Not only do we like to search on Google, we also love to see what OTHERS are searching on Google. We got curious — what are the MOST Googled vacation destinations? And where does Orlando fall on that list?
A couple of huge changes have hit Disney+ recently, so if you haven’t been keeping up with all the news, these updates might take you by surprise!

The streaming service has been a hot topic with Disney executives and investors, so it makes sense that we’re seeing so many changes as Disney pushes to make it profitable by the end of next year. A lot is going on behind the scenes to get the service going in the right direction for profitability, and some of those updates are affecting subscribers’ experiences with the app. [Read more…]
If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably know that Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some of our favorite food in Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a table service meal, there are a ton of delicious options to choose from. Recently, I stopped by The Smiling Crocodile for lunch. Keep reading for my full review!
You can do all the planning necessary to make sure you have a seamless and PERFECT Disney World trip, but sometimes things still happen that throw a wrench in those amazing plans.
A rainy day in Magic Kingdom
Sometimes you have to deal with flight delays and cancelations. Sometimes there are technical issues that cause ride closures. Sometimes, bad weather can affect both your flights and the theme park rides, and, well, we’ve got some bad news on that front for this weekend.
We love Early Theme Park Entry!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
It really is one of the best perks you can get for staying at a Disney-owned hotel during your Disneyland visit. As it is right now, if you’re staying at any Disneyland Resort hotel, you can enter the parks a full 30 minutes before their official opening time, which means getting on those popular rides before the rest of the crowds. But REMEMBER, that policy is changing pronto!
