food IS a theme park
An attraction that was part of the 1998 opening day for Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will be closing soon.

Animal Kingdom’s park icon, the Tree of Life has been home to It’s Tough to Be a Bug!
OK, Disney Dads. This one is for YOU! If you’re looking for something sporty, casual, and comfortable to wear in Disney World, you’ve come to the right place. We found a new collection of Disney X Nike items, and you can shop the items online NOW!
Nike Golf Polo Shirt
From classic polo shirts (with a hint of Disney detail) to cozy pullovers, we’ve got a full look at what’s available now.
Downtown Disney is the shopping and dining district at Disneyland Resort.
Downtown Disney
You’ll find lots to enjoy in this part of Disneyland. There are dining locations like the new Tiendita, Céntrico, and Paseo, as well as stands like Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs and more. You can also shop at some of your favorite stores like Disney Home, The Disney Dress Shop, The LEGO Store, the Star Wars Trading Post, and more. Downtown Disney has been getting lots of new shops, restaurants, and attractions recently, and we just spotted a cute new candle stand on our last visit!
There are so many dining options in Disney World that you may be confused as to why someone would choose to go to the McDonald’s on property.
Ba Da Ba Ba Bah…
But for our reporters, and many of the Disney World staff who are there every single day, sometimes you’re just in the mood for some basic fast food. Or, maybe you’ve got a picky kiddo and you don’t want to fight them on what they’ll eat (or if you’re picky yourself!), or are arriving at the resort late and want to grab something with a drive-through. Whatever your reasoning, we get it. However, there is one thing about this McDonald’s we need to warn you about — you might not be expecting it!
Hi. Frequent traveler here. I go to Disney World a lot. I recently flew to Paris (and stopped by Disneyland Paris, duh). I’ve tested some tricky airplane gadgets and accessories, and I have some thoughts.
Orlando International Airport
One thing that is hard for me — and many others — is falling asleep on an airplane. Those airplane seats aren’t exactly comfortable. But what can you do about it? Well, we tested two viral neck pillows from Amazon, and there was a clear winner.
We don’t know about you, but we are excited about all the new things coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
First, there’s going to be a villains-themed show, which is set to premiere in 2025. FINALLY, the villains are getting their time to shine in Disney World. However, what’s even more exciting is that Disney plans on building a Monsters, Inc. land in Hollywood Studios, and that land will have a new suspended coaster ride based on the doors scene in the movie! We’ve only wanted that ride FOREVER. However, the more we think about it, the more we’re worried about that ride. We’ll tell you why.
Well, it has been A WEEK in Disney World.
What’s better than a Mickey pretzel and beer?
Most of this week we’ve been worried about Hurricane Milton, and Disney World even closed briefly as a result. Needless to say, not a lot has happened with Disney World restaurants this week, but we did notice a few minor menu changes. We’re still waiting for that big round of food price increases we usually get this time of year, but for now, let’s just focus on the few updates we have.
It’s pumpkin szn, baby!!!
This is Halloween!
Yep, we’re smack dab in the middle of Halloween season, and Disney has been celebrating since August. This year, we’ve seen some fun Disney-themed Halloween snacks and merchandise, but what about the DECOR? Well, Mickey pumpkins are everywhere, and if you’re as obsessed as we are, you can grab your own version online.
You never know who you might run into at a Disney park!
Pixar Pier
Even with tons of people there, you just might run into people you know or even celebrities. Recently, there have been several big-name stars visiting Mickey’s stomping grounds. We’ve seen Lance Bass and his family at Disney World and Henry Winkler at Disneyland within the past month. Since Disneyland is in California, where many of the stars reside, it’s not at all surprising that we spotted a famous socialite hanging with her kids at Disney California Adventure!
