food IS a theme park
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!
There’s no way to sugarcoat it — Disney is pricey! Don’t let that put you off because we’re here to help!

We might be Disney World pros, but we still occasionally make mistakes in Disney World.
Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom
Maybe we forgot to pack our rain gear, even though we know how finicky Florida weather can be. Maybe we forgot to try to get a virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and then all spots are gone and we’ll have to pay for Lightning Lane Single Pass if we want to ride it. We also do a lot of people-watching in Disney World and see how there are some things in Disney World that are so confusing that often throw people off. Well, we’ve got one particular thing in Magic Kingdom to point out that you’ll want to be aware of.Â
A LOT is happening in Disney World right now, and we’re SO excited.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Animal Kingdom is getting a new Tropical Americans-themed land, Pueblo Esperanza, which will replace Dinoland, U.S.A. Magic Kingdom is getting a Cars expansion in Frontierland AND a new Villains-themed land. Hollywood Studios is getting a new land devoted to Monsters, Inc. Disney World hotels are also getting new restaurants and updates. Now, we’ve just spotted a sign that something will soon be happening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Planning a Disney World trip can get a bit complicated, right?
Magic Kingdom
I mean, you’ve got to make decision on which rides you’ll get on, which entertainment you have to see, and of course, all the food, and we haven’t even talked about where you’ll stay. But there’s one thing that may just be more important than all the other consideration you have to make — when will you go to Disney World? Specifically, what month? Now, that actually got us thinking about the reverse — what month we wouldn’t want to go to Disney World, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!
