food IS a theme park
It’s almost February, which means it’s almost time to celebrate Black History Month!Â
Celebrate Soulfully
Disney World’s Black History Month celebration is Celebrate Soulfully, and brings all sorts of great snacks and entertainment to the parks. We just got news about how some entertainment is changing for Celebrate Soulfully, and you’re gonna want to listen up!
It’s a REALLY good day to be a theme park fan.

Why? Well, Universal just announced all sorts of big news pertaining to Epic Universe — an all-new theme park coming to Universal Orlando in 2025. The area is set to include rides, shops, restaurants, hotels, and so much more. We’ve gotten a first glimpse at what we can expect from Epic Universe, and y’all… We’re so excited. Let’s talk about it!
One of the absolute BEST parts of visiting Disney World is checking out the seemingly endless list of live entertainment.
Festival of Fantasy
From fireworks shows to parades, there’s some sort of live entertainment option in each of the Disney World parks, some even taking place multiple times a day. One of the most iconic parades to take place in Disney World happens each day at Magic Kingdom — the Festival of Fantasy parade! Each day at 3PM, you can catch all of the most beloved classic Disney characters as they dance their way from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A.. If you love the Festival of Fantasy parade, or you’re hoping to catch it for the first time on your upcoming Disney trip, you’re going to want to keep reading!

This Princess and the Frog-themed attraction is being built in both Disney World and Disneyland, and will officially start welcoming guests later this year. We’ve been keeping up with every single update Disney has announced but with every day bringing us closer and closer to the opening, we thought we’d dive into everything we know about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
Lunar New Year has arrived in Disney California Adventure!
Longevity Noodle Co. Marketplace
2024 is the Year of the Dragon, and the park will mark the year’s arrival with the annual Lunar New Year celebration, which takes place from January 23rd through February 18th this year. There will be lots of new eats at the food booths, fun entertainment offerings, merchandise, and more. We’ve already shared the full menus for ALL the booths, but today we’re stopping by the Longevity Noodle Co. booth to review the goods. Come see what we found!
Disney World is magical and awesome and all things good.
Cinderella Castle
But it’s also a place where some pretty disgusting things happen. Trust us, we’re in Disney World every single day, and there are a few super gross things that we bear witness to on the regular. We’re here to share with you those super gross things, just to give you something to think about the next time you choose to leave your hand sanitizer at home. Let’s talk about it!
We’re getting closer and closer each day to the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World!

While we still don’t have an official opening date, we do know the ride will open sometime this year. At first, Disney shared a “late 2024” projected date, but we have our suspicions the ride may be opening up sooner than we originally thought. In fact, Disney just revealed an important piece of information about the ride — let’s get into it!
One of the best parts about visiting Disneyland has nothing to do with visiting the actual theme parks.
Downtown Disney
Well, the theme parks are pretty cool, too. But do you know what else is cool? Grubbing on delicious food in Downtown Disney. Many Disney fans believe that Disneyland has superior food when it comes to the Disney Parks, and a lot of that food can be found in Downtown Disney.. Whether you’re a frequent visitor, or you’ve never even been and you’re just planning a visit, we have some big news that you should know.Â
If you’re anything like us, then you always try to bring the magic and some extra rejuvenation home with you after your trip to Disney World.Â
Magic Kingdom
One of our favorite places to shop for relaxing souvenirs that remind us of Disney World is Basin White! Disney World has two of these shops — one in Disney Springs (which is just Basin) and one in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort (which is Basin White, the luxury version of the brand). Here, you can shop a seemingly endless array of body butters, soaps, bath bombs, sugar scrubs, and more! The best part is that a ton of the scents here are inspired by Disney Parks, characters, movies, and even the hotels. The shops closed in early January for refurbishment, but now, the one in the Grand Floridian is back open! Let’s go see what’s new!
Hey, vacation is for indulging in things you normally wouldn’t be able to have at home!
Indulge away!
Yes, that includes Disney World vacations. We always say that traditional rules don’t matter while you’re in the Disney Parks, and it’s totally acceptable to eat dessert as a meal. If you have a serious sweet tooth, and you’re always one the hunt for your next treat while you’re in the parks, then this post is for you.
