PHOTOS: A NEW Tunnel in Disney World Could Signal a BIG Reopening Soon!

By 1 Comment

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of PROGRESS! For a while, it seemed like there was no end in sight for Disney’s loooooong TRON: Lightcycle Run construction project, but lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of big additions to the newest attraction headed for the Magic Kingdom.

Hello from the Magic Kingdom!

Unfortunately, the classic (and convenient!) Walt Disney World Railroad is sort of being held hostage by TRON right now; the train has been unable to run due to the TRON construction blocking the tracks. Could this be changing soon? Maybe! Come with us to see why we’re smiling in Disney World on this sunny afternoon!

REVIEW: Why We’re Willing To Pay $13 For BREAD In Disney World

By 1 Comment

With over 200+ restaurants in Disney World, it’s no wonder choosing where to eat during your vacation can be a challenge. And, while you can opt for the big hitters like Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella’s Royal Table, you might want to visit a restaurant that is a bit more low-key that still brags some seriously delicious eats. But, where can you find such a perfect mix?

Ale & Compass!

Well, we’re headed over to Ale & Compass Restaurant in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort to see if it still fits the bill! This underrated spot is a Cape Cod-meets-Gastropub restaurant that features cozy comfort food with a bit of a refined touch. You’ll find it near Yachtsman Steakhouse and Cape May Café and there are a few extensions of the restaurant including the grab-and-go Ale & Compass Market and the bar Ale & Compass Lounge. Now, we usually enjoy this spot a lot, but it’s not super memorable in our book — so, let’s see if Ale & Compass can break the cycle and dazzle us!

Opening up a new Disney World park map is like opening up a present — you think you have a pretty good idea of what’s inside, but every once in a while, you’re surprised!

Spaceship Earth looks good from EVERY angle!

It was an exciting morning for us in EPCOT today — we were greeted with a wall of brand new park maps! We’ve been discovering new maps at several of the Disney parks, but now it’s EPCOT’s time to shine. Time for a map reveal!

What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: More CANCELED Performances and a Colorful Purse

By Leave a Comment

If you haven’t been to Disney World in a while, buckle up! We visit the Disney World parks essentially every. single. day, so we have a really good idea of what’s new and exciting in the parks. And we make it our mission to share that with YOU!

Time for a check-in!

We recently visited Animal Kingdom during part of Spring Break, so we encountered a lot of heavy crowds and loooooong wait times. If you’re planning a trip to the parks in the near future, prepare for some busy days! Now let’s get going and take a look at what’s new!

UPGRADE Your Disney World Photos with a Private Photoshoot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

By 1 Comment

When you’re taking pictures in Disney World, you want to look your best, right? Well, between the rush back and forth across the parks and Florida’s uncooperative weather, we often end up with some less-than-flattering photos. (Seriously, why didn’t anyone warn us that our hair was THAT frizzy from the humidity?!) And don’t even get us started with the results when dad is in charge of the camera…let’s just say that you can probably expect a finger or two to block the lens.

Howdy, partner!

If you’re tired of rushed, unfortunate-looking photos, Disney has a solution that you might not have known about!

You’ll Need a DEEP Knowledge of Disney World to Understand THIS Reference!

By 1 Comment

Here’s a controversial statement for you to consider: some of Disney’s retro and vintage merchandise was CUTER than the new stuff they sell in the parks today. Agree? Disagree? What’s your take? If it weren’t for Disney’s new 50th Anniversary Vault Collection, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation, but all the new (old) merchandise Disney started releasing really has us thinking about the good old days; you know, when park tickets were cheaper than a gallon of gas today. Ouch.

The Vault Collection has some real gems, like this vintage-inspired bucket hat!

If you weren’t fortunate enough to hold onto your old Disney merchandise (or you weren’t born yet!), you can always check out the new items in Disney’s Vault Collection! Recently, we found a new Vault Collection item that is lots of fun (but also, lots of money). Let’s check it out!
