food IS a theme park
No matter how much you probably try to stay away, something about those golden arches keeps pulling you back in.
McDonald’s
Whether it’s seriously strange marketing campaigns, a birthday party for a *checks notes* purple monster, or new menu items, McDonald’s is constantly coming up with ways to keep us coming back. And just when we learned a snack was coming, McDonald’s is removing others from its menu!
A fan-favorite location in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is Rafiki’s Planet Watch, a land only accessible to guests by train.
Rafiki’s Planet Watch
Here, you can explore a variety of interactive activities and even get up close and personal with some animals! Rafiki’s Planet Watch is a great way to learn about and see the ways in which Disney cares for the animals that reside in the park as well as the conservation efforts made for the species as a whole. If you’re a fan of Rafiki’s Planet Watch or you’re hoping to go soon, we have some important news!
Okay, fellow foolish mortals. Our time has almost come.
The Haunted Mansion
We are only about two weeks away from the release of the all-new Haunted Mansion film in theaters, and we couldn’t be more excited. Now that Independence Day has come and gone, we are just ITCHING for Spooky Season to arrive — and the upcoming release of this film is only adding to our hauntingly good mood. If you’re like us and are counting down the days until the movie’s release, then this post is for you.
If you love McDonald’s and sweet treats, this post is for you!
McDonald’s
McDonald’s pies are a fan-favorite menu item, and for years visitors have loved grabbing an apple or strawberries and cream pie to go along with their meal. If you’re one of the folks who can’t resist a McDonald’s pie, there’s an all-new one on the way!
When it comes to our role models in life, a pretty great deal of them are Disney Princesses and the other heroines portrayed in Disney’s animated films.
Cinderella Castle
While many of these have giant palaces and castles that appear in their respective films, we realized that a lot of them don’t have castles of their own or they were never fully shown in the movies. This is when we got a brilliant beyond brilliant idea (yes, just like Hallie Parker in The Parent Trap). An increasingly popular trend on social media recently has been to ask different AI softwares to create rooms, homes, and outfits based on fictional characters or movies. Are ya picking up on where we’re going with this?
Disney World is a place that many of us visit to feel happy, nostalgic, and care-free for a few days. After all, it’s known as The Most Magical Place on Earth for a reason!
Isn’t she lovely?
However, as much as Disney does try to distract us from the stressors associated with the realities of everyday life, there are some things that even pixie dust can’t fix. Sometimes, bad things happen — even at Disney World. Sometimes, when you take a closer look at things, they don’t seem so magical after all. Disney has handled a global pandemic, countless hurricanes, and even hurricanes and fires. How does Disney prepare for these things, and how do they recover? Let’s talk about it!
Genie+ has gone through a whole slew of updates since it first debuted in Disney World back in 2021 — so if you’re still trying to keep up with the latest changes, you’re not alone.

Just when we thought that we were getting the hang of things and had a good system going with when to purchase Genie+ and what rides to use it for, Disney went and announced that it would be changing. At first, we thought we had found a HUGE problem with the change, but we actually think it might be a solution after all.
Since Disney released the exclusive skip-the-line tool in the Disney Parks in 2021, Genie+ has been confusing, to say the least.
Genie+
Not only can the service be tricky to use, but it’s also pretty expensive. It can be hard to gauge when you need it and when you don’t as Disney World’s crowds have gotten a bit unpredictable. However, just when we thought that we were getting the hang of things and had a good system going with when to purchase Genie+ and what rides to use it for, Disney announced that it would be changing soon. Today, we’re answering all of your questions about the recent changes.
Calling all adventurers and Indiana Jones fans!
Do you love ‘Indiana Jones’?
Lately, we’ve seen the films arrive to Disney+ and a pretty impressive array of Indiana Jones-themed merchandise arrive in the parks and online. We’ve even seen an all-new Indy-themed lounge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Now, we’ve spotted even more news pertaining to Indiana Jones, and we think you guys will be pretty excited about it.
When it comes to producing live-action films of beloved animations, it seems that Disney is on a roll!
AMC Theater for ‘The Little Mermaid’
A live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid arrived in theaters on May 26th, and Disney has also told us that live-action versions of Lilo and Stitch and Moana are in the works. As far as Moana goes, many Disney fans were a bit confused as to why a relatively new animation was already becoming a live-action film. It didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the films receiving live-action adaptations, as most are at least 20 years old at this point. However, that doesn’t seem to stop anyone’s excitement! We just learned a NEW detail about the upcoming film, and we have a feeling it’s only going to add to said excitement.
