food IS a theme park
Is Disney Springs THE place to be these days in Disney World?! Between giant cookies, humongous donuts, tons of shops, awesome entertainment, and all kinds of new things to see and try, there’s certainly plenty to enjoy here — and all without a park ticket!
Disney Springs
As if all of that wasn’t reason enough to stop by Disney Springs, a NEW ice cream shop is about to open in Disney World, and we were lucky enough to get a SNEAK PEEK!
Okay, we’ll admit it. We’re OBSESSED with 4*Town thanks to Disney’s latest animated film Turning Red. It’s a cute little movie full of catchy music, early 2000s nostalgia, and FUN! Since the movie’s big debut, we’ve seen red panda-inspired treats, band tees, and other merchandise, but now we’re back in Disney World to fangirl with Mei Lee over a new piece of Turning Red merchandise!
You’re never not on our mind, Disney!
Mei Lee knows that an adorable red panda is sure to attract some fans (including us), and now we can embrace our inner panda with a new pair of Minnie ears in Disney World! Who’s ready for ANOTHER new ear alert?!
Have you ever seen a picture of Disney’s Hollywood Studios from the ’90s? It looked like a COMPLETELY different park (R.I.P. to the Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show, Studio Backlot Tour, and The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights). The truth is, all it takes is a few short years for Disney World to transform itself, reinvent the parks, and increase the price of a park ticket. It’s pretty wild to think about! So, that got us thinking, “What will Disney World look like in a few years?”
There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow just a construction project away!
While many Disney World projects remain a mystery (looking at you, U.K. Mary Poppins attraction!), there are several major attractions, resorts, and experiences coming soon to Florida. When they arrive, Disney World will NEVER be the same, so let’s talk about 10 places in Disney World that will look totally different in a few years.
No one can put a smile on our face quite like the Disney characters. Walking into Disney’s Animal Kingdom to be greeted by Kevin reminds us just how FUN it is to make new friends, and chatting with Princess Snow White in EPCOT always cheers us up. Whether it’s your first visit to the parks or your 100th trip to the Magic Kingdom, every character interaction is a little different, and that’s what makes it so much fun!
We’ve got some EXCITING news!
As the parks slowly start to bring back more dining, shows, and other experiences, some of Disney’s previous restrictions have been lifted. Today, we’re excited to welcome a beloved experience back to Disney World. Let’s take a look! (Warning: if you tend to cry at the beginning of Up or tear up during the fireworks, you might want to grab some tissues…this is about to get emotional)
Every Disney World resort has its own distinct theme, which is half the fun of staying at all the different hotels! There’s the coastal-chic atmosphere of Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, the New Orleans-inspired Port Orleans Resorts, and the sporty design of All-Star Sports Resort, to name a few. But over at one of Disney’s newest hotels, the Riviera Resort, guests are transported to Europe for a little French Italian flair. It’s artsy, bright, and BEAUTIFUL!
Artist Mickey knows a thing or two about design!
Of course, Disney World guests get to enjoy the Disney resorts whenever they want, but recently, another group of people got to enjoy the Riviera Resort during a special event! Let’s take a look.
It’s not easy to pick a favorite Disney World park; it’s like asking us to pick a favorite child! We love all four parks for different reasons; EPCOT is a foodie’s paradise, Magic Kingdom is a charming escape from reality, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has tons of thrilling attractions, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is full of stunning areas just waiting to be explored!
This park is SO pretty!
Today, though, we’re here to give Disney’s Animal Kingdom a little extra attention. We found a fun hidden detail that even the Disney park EXPERT might not have noticed! Prepare to have your mind BLOWN! 🤯
Attention, recruits! We’ve got an urgent message incoming. As you may know, traditional character meet and greets are back at Disney World! Between the recent return of the Festival of Fantasy parade and character interactions, we’re ready to see alllllll the Disney characters!
Attention!
While there are a TON of returning entertainment offerings coming soon, it seems like Disney might be putting the brakes on one form of entertainment. Streetmosphere.Â
Disney has a lot of hotels, so you would think that rooms would almost always be available, right? WRONG.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney hotels get booked up, and you might have your heart set on staying at a certain Disney resort, only to find out that it’s not available during your vacation time. But, don’t worry – we’re here to tell you what to do if you can’t get the Disney World hotel reservation you wanted!
Round up the gang and settle in for a little story — or should we say, a little Toy Story. 😉 Over in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure, Toy Story Midway Mania draws some big lines and invites some fierce competition. (Seriously, getting the “Best in Vehicle” score is SO exciting) Every once in a while, though, the game goes awry and playtime is over sooner than expected.

Recently, Toy Story Midway Mania had some technical difficulties. Let’s take a look!
We don’t know about you, but caffeine is basically its own essential food group in our diet. When you’re walking all over the place and waking up at the crack of dawn, a little boost of energy is critical to success in Disney World. If you’re looking for a little coffee in the Disney parks and resorts, there are two main suppliers: Joffrey’s Coffee and Starbucks.
Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew
There are TONS of places to grab a coffee in Disney World. There’s a Starbucks in every Disney park and multiple Joffrey’s locations all over Disney World. Recently, we noticed something interesting going on at one of Disney World’s most popular Starbucks locations, and it might signal a looming closure. Let’s take a look!
