food IS a theme park
If you’ve dined at Disney World in the last year, then you’re probably familiar with QR code menus! You can scan these codes with your phone’s camera, and then boom! You’ve got the restaurant’s menu open on your phone.
QR Code Menu at Trail’s End Restaurant
Although there are some restaurants where you can ask for a paper copy of the menu, QR codes became popular at the Disney Parks upon reopening. Well, those QR code menus could be here to stay!
Can we let you in on a little secret? Sometimes we dream about driving away and just ~escaping~ for a bit. Do you relate?
Welcome to Disney World!
Maybe you’re thinking about escaping over to — oh, I dunno — Disney World, perhaps? No judging here. We love that place (did our name give it away? 😂). Gives us something to write about on a daily basis. But before you make the trek out to the Most Magical Place on Earth, let’s play a rousing game of Red Light, Green Light.
It’s time to show some love to the Disney Princesses! As part of Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration, Disney is debuting a “once-in-a-lifetime, global extravaganza,” that will include a variety of new princess-themed content, merchandise, FOOD, experiences, and more!
Royal Princess Processional in Magic Kingdom
Not only that, but a brand new World Princess Week is coming to Walt Disney World, and it will be full of royal festivities!
Close your eyes and picture yourself on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Walt Disney World. Can you see the dutiful prison pup holding the jail cell keys? Can you hear the cannons exploding around you? Can you smell that musty water smell?
Now you scurvy scum, do I hear ten? A hen for a ten!
Disney Imagineers are masters of creating fully immersive attractions and experiences that transport you to another world (or galaxy). A major part of that experience often involves your sense of smell — can you recognize any of Disney’s classic smells?
The Grand Floridian Resort in Disney World is a Deluxe Resort that has an upscale, yet classic, look to it, a variety of great dining options, and both monorail and walking access to Magic Kingdom.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
If you’ve never stayed at the Grand Floridian, you may be wondering what the rooms there look like. We recently stayed at the Grand Floridian and wanted to share a full look at one of the rooms there to give you an idea of what you’ll find in the rooms, how big they are, and other features there.
You’ve survived the “Are we there yet”s and “Don’t make me turn this thing around”s! Time to reward yourself by driving under the Walt Disney World welcome arch!
Welcome to Disney World!
Now that you’ve got your car into the “Most Magical Place On Earth,” it’s time to think about the un-magical side of this Disney World vacation — PARKING.

We recently learned the pricing, more information on dining, and we even got a look at a sample itinerary. After all of that info was released, we polled our readers to see whether or not you all thought the new experience was worth it! Before we get into the poll results, here’s a quick rundown of what you get with your reservation aboard the Galactic Starcruiser!
Toledo at the Gran Destino Tower in Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is a luxurious rooftop restaurant that serves up delicious Spanish-inspired fine dining.

Recently, Toledo reopened and we stopped by to check it out. We’ve had a pretty good meal here before so we headed back to Toledo for another dinner full of steak, steak, and…oh yeah…STEAK! Let’s see if all our carnivorous dreams came true.
Update: Tropical Storm Fred has been downgraded to Tropical Depression.
It’s hurricane season in Florida, and we’ve already seen 5 major storms come and go this year.
Rainy day at Disney
As many people can agree, “a rainy day in Disney is better than a rainy day at home,” but that doesn’t mean you should travel all the way to Disney World without a little preparation. We have an update for you on the latest tropical storm, currently in the Dominican Republic area.
There’s so much going on in Disney World right now that it’s almost impossible NOT to have any questions! Between the new mask policy and the start of BOO Bash, there are a lot of changes happening.
