food IS a theme park
Were you in EPCOT on September 21st?
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was celebrating the special day with some Earth, Wind, & Fire by blaring ‘September’ through the ride all day long! It was a fun way to celebrate one of Star-Lord’s (a.k.a. Peter Quill) favorite songs from his childhood cassette tapes. Speaking of Star-Lord, if you love Guardians of the Galaxy, you might be excited about this new Disney announcement!
We all have our favorite Disney World rides.
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
We also have those rides that we tend to stay away from, whether they’re too scary (Tower of Terror can be terrifying for some people), too extreme (Mission: SPACE Orange is a BIT MUCH), too dizzying (hello, Mad Tea Party), or for other reasons. However, some rides just have loading areas that can be a little iffy, and we now have actual proof of two Disney World rides with slightly dangerous loading areas where you need to take extra care getting in and out of ride vehicles.
Planning a Disney trip can be challenging, but we’ll tell you this: it’s easier to plan for Disneyland than it is for Disney World.
Disneyland
Okay, why are we bringing this up? Well, NOW is a great time to go to Disneyland, especially with it being Halloween Time (which is a VERY big deal at the resort), although the holidays are a great time to visit, too. We’ll also admit the weather is SO nice this time of year (and you may even need a sweater at nights), especially if you don’t want to deal with humidity (it’s non-existent!). If you have a Disney Visa, though, you have a NEW excuse to book a Disneyland trip because you can save money RIGHT NOW.
There are quite literally hundreds of restaurants in Disney World, and we’ve been to ALL of them.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve reviewed every restaurant in Disney World, and we continue to revisit them every once in a while to see if things have changed. Sometimes spots get new menus or new offerings, and sometimes we return to a place that we previously loved to find it a little bit disappointing. And throughout our 15 years of Disney food reviews, we’ve tried quite a few spots that are “hated” by most fans!
Okay, we know it’s still spooky season, but it’s not too early to get hyped up for the holidays…JUST SAYING.
Jollywood Nights 2024 — ©Disney
We’ll have to blame Disney World for that because we’ve been getting a ton of information about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. However, we’ve been getting even MORE details about Jollywood Nights in Hollywood Studios, and let’s just say — our hype is REAL. Well, it’s about to get even MORE real because Disney just dropped the list of exclusive snacks and drinks you’ll be able to get at the party — and it is A LOT.
There’s been SO many new Disney announcements lately that it’s hard to keep it all STRAIGHT.

The waiting game is finally over!
Inside Out 2 Decorations
This summer, Disney released two blockbuster films. In June, we got the sequel to the Disney and Pixar animated film Inside Out, Inside Out 2. In July, the Marvel film Deadpool and Wolverine hit theaters. While these films were only released a few months ago, many people wanted to know when they would be able to stream these movies from the comfort of their own homes.
So you’re planning a trip to Disney World! Congratulations! You’re about to go to The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Magic Kingdom
There’s just one big problem with The Most Magical Place on Earth: you’ll find that it will sometimes want to separate you from your hard-earned cash even after you’ve paid for your hotel room, your tickets, and your flight (if you need one). You might be offered the option to pay for extra perks at Disney World, and we’re going to tell you a secret: Some of those perks just really aren’t worth it. We’ve already fallen for paying for a lot of these perks, so now we can warn you away.
UPDATE: As of 11:08AM ET on September 25th, Helene has been upgraded to a Category 1 Hurricane.
We’re continuing to watch out for new updates on Tropical Storm Helene as it makes its way into the Gulf of Mexico.
Magic Kingdom during a hurricane
Tropical Storm Helene is expected to hit the Gulf Coast and parts of the Panhandle of Florida within the next day or so as Hurricane Helene, and we’re keeping up with all the updates. While Disney World most likely won’t be directly hit by the hurricane but will feel the effects of the massive storm. We’re taking a look at the updates for the tropical storm as of 7AM CDT Wednesday, September 25th.
Disney California Adventure’s incredibly popular World of Color show almost looked very different.
World of Color – ONE
The World of Color water show debuted at the Disneyland Resort in 2010 and has gone through a few different iterations over the past several years. Today, it has evolved into World of Color — ONE, honoring Disney’s centennial. The show occurs at Paradise Gardens Park (formerly Paradise Pier) in Disney California Adventure and features special water effects, projections, and sound and lighting effects. It also almost featured drones.
