food IS a theme park
Seeing a Disney character in Disney World is a BELOVED pastime, right up there with eating Mickey Pretzels and riding the PeopleMover!
Mickey!
Make no mistake, there are LOTS of classic characters we NEVER get tired of spotting (and HUGGING!) in Disney World, but we also get excited about spotting a RARE character!
Are you getting ready for Halloween? No? “A little too early,” you say? Well, Disney would beg to differ!
It’ll Be Here Sooner Than You Think!
Not too long ago, Disney celebrated Halfway to Halloween with some limited time treats, a Hocus Pocus virtual watch party and some pretty big announcements! In HUGE news, we learned that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will (finally!) be returning to Magic Kingdom this August, so dust off your costumes everybody because it’s time to PARTY! With the party returning soon, we wanted to know if our readers (that’s YOU) would be attending the year, so we went to our Facebook page (follow us there to participate in the future!) to get your thoughts. Here’s what you all had to say.
Got a piggy bank at home? Good. Get ready to break that sucker open to afford your next Disney trip. Come to think of it, do you have about 100 piggy banks? ‘Cause, you’re gonna need it! 💵

There are a lot of great things about Disney World, but with the good comes the bad.
Magic Kingdom
Next year is sure to be an exciting time, with the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT (and possibly TRON in Magic Kingdom) and the continuation of the 50th anniversary celebration. But, there are some things we aren’t looking forward to — here are the things we’re dreading about Disney World in 2022.
Over the years, Disney World has made quite a few BIG decisions!
Like changing the park entertainment options!
They’ve introduced new offerings, updated old attractions, and tried a variety of new snack and merchandise options. Some of these decisions have been popular, but others, well…not so much. Today we’re discussing the times that Disney World missed the mark a liiiiittle bit!
As the saying goes, the only thing that’s constant at Disney World is change — and that has never rung more true than it has in the past few years!
Cinderella Castle
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World soon or you’re preparing to visit the parks in the coming months, there are a lot of changes going on that you should be aware of! From the 50th Anniversary Celebration festivities and EVERYTHING that’s a part of it to brand new hotels, restaurants, and the latest health mandates, let’s recap some of the biggest things you should know about if you’re heading to Disney World soon.
It’s Halloween season at Disney World — or is it?

Have you noticed that it just doesn’t FEEL the same in Disney World this year?? The “most spookiest time of the year” seems to have been pushed aside in favor of that other big thing that happened in October — the 50th Anniversary. Not to mention Christmas decorations (!!!) are already showing up on the scene! Honestly, it doesn’t feel like the Halloween we have come to look forward to at Disney World in past years. It got us wondering…did Disney World get cheated out of Halloween this year?

If there’s one thing you can count on seeing in Walt Disney World, it’s crowds of people!
Crowd levels in EPCOT
With the promotions Disney offers throughout the year, more people visit the parks during what was previously considered the off season. In recent years, that “off season” has seemed to become more and more elusive! While it’s never a ghost town, there are still a handful of times during the year that you’ll typically see lighter crowds at the most magical place on earth, and we’re here to tell you all about them!
