Disney’s Animal Kingdom

We LOVE it when we get to see the debut of new animals at Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. What could make that moment even more special? Well, when they’re born at Animal Kingdom, of course! Over the years, we’ve seen baby gorillas and baby rhinos get introduced to the savanna, and now we OFFICIALLY can say we’ve seen Animal Kingdom’s first second-generation baby elephant get introduced to the savanna, too!

A whole new collection of treats just burst on the scene at Disney World!

Nobody Is Talking About This HUGE Disney World Expansion Plan

By Leave a Comment

We heard about lots of ambitious projects that Disney World looks to complete over the next few years.

We’re going to miss this

Several of the announcements that originally came from Destination D23 were things like closing Dinoland U.S.A., exploring what could be beyond Big Thunder Mountain, and a possible expansion for the Magic Kingdom park. However, one other expansion idea really seemed to land in favor with parkgoers and attendees when it was announced initially… so, why is no one talking about it now? [Read more…]

The Best Snack Under $5 in Every Disney World Park

By Leave a Comment

Did anyone ever watch the original Charlotte’s Web movie as a kid? Like, the cartoon version?

One of the best parts about Disney World is the FOOD!

Well, there’s a scene that comes to mind every time we visit Disney World. It’s the scene where Templeton the rat is wandering around the county fair and singing, “The fair is a veritable smorgasbord!” Well, Disney World is a veritable smorgasbord. Yep, there are delicious and tempting eats everywhere you turn at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Except… they’re often pretty ‘spensive. It’s easy to fog eat your way through the parks, and then you’ve blown a large chunk of your vacation budget. Not on our watch! Noooo way. We’re here to help you snack the financially savvy way. Let’s talk about it!

We’re already starting 2024 off with a bang — the Disney Dining Plan is returning, all-day park hopping will also make a comeback, and park pass reservation requirements are disappearing for most ticketed visitors. Not to mention, exciting new additions are coming to the parks in 2024 — from CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in EPCOT to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom.

By 1 Comment

We say this nearly every time we write about dining at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but just know we mean it when we say that it is truly one of the BEST parks you can visit as a food-lover.

Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

At Animal Kingdom, you’ll be met with fresh takes on cuisine from around the world — definitely not your average rubbery theme park hot dog and box of popcorn. In fact, the park is home to several of our favorite restaurants in all of Disney World, and even one of our favorite lounges. Yep, we’re talking about Nomad Lounge. This smaller-scale dining spot is located in Discovery Island, in the same building as Tiffins, Animal Kingdom’s signature restaurant. This has been one of our favorite spots for quite some time now, but it is now boasting some NEW menu items, so of course — we’re headed to try them out and review them for you guys.
