food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing in some MAJOR ways.
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom is seeing some huge updates, especially — we’ve been keeping up with all of the construction progress on the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure transformation, but that’s not all! Last year, Disney announced that another iconic Magic Kingdom attraction would be getting an update, and that time has almost come.
Some BIG things are happening in Disneyland.

We’re not just talking about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is currently under construction. We’re not referring to the update Disneyland has planned for its park entrances. We’re not even talking about the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival. You might recall us mentioning the DisneylandForward proposal last year, which is an initiative to work with the City of Anaheim to expand the theme parks. Well, an important meeting is coming up on that very topic!
Hey, vacation is for indulging in things you normally wouldn’t be able to have at home!
Indulge away!
Yes, that includes Disney World vacations. We always say that traditional rules don’t matter while you’re in the Disney Parks, and it’s totally acceptable to eat dessert as a meal. If you have a serious sweet tooth, and you’re always one the hunt for your next treat while you’re in the parks, then this post is for you.
Disney World is all about celebrating special occasions, especially anniversaries.

It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago when we were celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. Then we celebrated the anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, which has been around for 100 years. We celebrated Animal Kingdom’s 25th birthday last year. But another BIG anniversary is happening TODAY (January 20th) in Disney World.
Okay, so it seems like a LOT of TV shows are getting canceled these days.

Now, TV show cancelations are normal, but is it just us, or does it seem like we’ve seen a lot more over the past year? Disney has already canceled more than eight shows within the past few months. Long-running shows are getting the axe. Now, a show on Apple TV+ just got the boot.
Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, has gone through lots of changes over the past few years, with new shows and movies, subscription price increases, and special features. Now, even MORE new things are coming SOON!

Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, has said that his number one priority is to improve Disney’s streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. He has been working on strategies to make the company’s streaming services profitable with the overarching goal of having Disney+ become profitable by the end of fiscal year 2024. To help the company achieve this goal, there are a couple of big changes coming to Disney+. [Read more…]
Beware, not all travel tips are created equal!
Spirit Airlines at Orlando Airport
Over the years, we’ve learned plenty tips to simplify our traveling experience. From avoiding flights on specific dates to finding the best airport lounges, we’re constantly on the lookout for ways to make traveling easier and more comfortable. But this airport tip that recently went viral will NOT be making its way into our travel plans!
The Disney World Parks have changed a lot since COVID-19 shut them down.
Magic Kingdom
It’s been nearly four years since the closures, yet some of the major changes put in place still remain. While things like park pass reservation requirements, park hopping restrictions, and lack of the Disney Dining Plan were removed on January 9th, 2024, there are some changes that seem like they’ll be around for a while, and our readers aren’t too happy with some of those. We asked them on Facebook to share with us what they thought the most FRUSTRATING new Disney World change has been, and the answer wasn’t at all surprising.
TV shows get canceled all the time, but it’s never easy when it’s a show you’re really looking forward to watching.

Some shows get at least one full season before getting canceled, like Disney’s National Treasure: Edge of History. Some shows never even get a chance to get started. For example, Disney’s adaptation of The Spiderwick Chronicles was canceled before it ever began. The same happened with The Nautilus, which would have been the origin story for Captain Nemo from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Even the Lizzie McGuire reboot never got a chance to get going, but now we may know why.
Disney World is known as the Most Magical Place on Earth, but did you know there are ways to make it just a bit more magical?
Spaceship Earth
It’s true, and it’s all thanks to Disney’s special events and tours. These extras may be something you need to budget a little bit more for, but man, can they really elevate your experience. Between Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and even some of the hotels, chances are there’s something for just about everyone. And, for those with a green thumb (or those who are just really into plants and science), there’s one tour that offers you the chance to learn — all while going backstage at a popular EPCOT ride.
