food IS a theme park
There is SO much to see and do in Disney World — how is anyone supposed to choose?!
Disney World
Luckily, there’s something for just about everyone. You’re a fan of thrill rides? Check. Slow, dark, themed rides? Check. Delicious snacks and drinks? Yep. Water slides and more?! Also, yes.

Since DeSantis appointed the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board (CFTOD), we’ve seen multiple changes in the district that governs Disney World, including a mass exodus of employees, the removal of certain benefits, and a hefty tax bill to boot. Now, a new report from the CFTOD is accusing Disney of previously providing benefits that were “akin to bribes.” Here’s what we know.

Okay, hear us out, but have you ever thought about visiting Disney World and staying off-property?
Have you ever thought about staying off-property?
Yeah, we know, a lot of us just want to live in the Disney bubble on our vacation, but at the same time, there are some REALLY nice hotels in the area that might be a better value than a Disney World hotel. There are some great hotels in the Disney Springs area, plus there’s the incredibly luxurious Four Season Orlando.

We’ve had LOTS of exciting things happen in EPCOT lately, and now EPCOT’s new nighttime show is finally HERE!
Luminous: The Symphony of US
In between more of the construction walls coming down, seeing Walt’s statue gazing out into the park, and an all-new light experience that you just have to see to believe, it’s hard to believe that EPCOT dropped yet another big change on us.

Luminous
The park’s lengthy transformation is coming to a close, and some of the construction walls came down to reveal EPCOT’s all-new World Celebration Gardens as well as the Walt the Dreamer statue. Oh, and did we mention that Luminous, The Symphony of Us debuted on December 5th as well? With all these fun things happening, we did start to feel a bit greedy and anticipate the opening of CommuniCore Hall and Plaza — which was set to debut in late 2023 — or so we thought.Â

Even though we would like to experience EVERYTHING Disney World has to offer every trip, it’s a nearly impossible feat.
Cinderella Castle
From its sheer size to limited seasonal offerings, Disney World challenges its guests with too much of a good time. For most, it takes MULTIPLE long trips to Disney World to experience everything the resort has to offer. Unfortunately, the challenge becomes even greater when you factor in closures.
