food IS a theme park

So many to choose from!
But every once in a while, it’s nice to try out a NEW park bag! Luckily, Disney just released a BUNCH of new bags online, and we’ve rounded them up for you. Let’s take a look!

Bluey first premiered on Australia’s ABC – the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, not the American television network currently owned by Disney – Kids network in 2018. The series follows Bluey (an anthropomorphic Blue Heeler puppy) and her family in Brisbane, Australia. The series has become an international hit thanks to its heart, imaginative sequences, and comedy that’s funny to both children and adults. In June of 2019, Disney acquired the international distribution rights to the series, and began streaming it on Disney+ in all territories excluding Australia, New Zealand and China, but including the U.S.
Disney World is looking to celebrate their Annual Passholders this summer during another V.I.Passholder event and we couldn’t be more excited!
EPCOT
In past years, we’ve seen exclusive passholder lounges, and Disney even teased an increase in discounts to select merchandise and restaurants. However, there’s another perk coming soon that we think you’ll LOVE! [Read more…]
The Walt Disney Company is certainly no stranger to lawsuits. But, as of late, many of these lawsuits have become pretty high profile.

We finally have a temporary truce in the battle between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more cases on the docket for the House of Mouse. Former Star Wars actress Gina Carano was fired from her role in 2021. Since then, she has been pretty vocal and has even caught the eye of fellow Disney critic Elon Musk to file a lawsuit in California federal court against Disney and Lucasfilm. But, Disney has filed a new request that hopes to squash the beef.

In fact, being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a TON of perks. With many of those perks are available year-round, there are some EXTRA special benefits that only happen on RARE occasions. One of those rare instances is happening SOON — V.I.Passholder Days are returning SOON, and we have a FUN new perk to share!
There are SO. MANY. new Disney restaurants coming soon. Hope you’ve got a clear schedule and a pair of stretchy pants. There’s a LOT of new food headed your way! Now, let’s go to Downtown Disney and talk FOOD.
Downtown Disney
There are THREE new restaurants opening at Downtown Disney. Disney recently shared some NEW concept art and revealed some exciting details about what you can expect here, and when we tell you we are EXCITED, well, you’ll see why.
We’ve got a real treat coming soon to the Magic Kingdom. A new ride! That’s right — there’s a brand-new, never-before-seen ride coming to Disney World, and we can’t wait. It’s called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and it will open in both Disneyland park and Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 2024! In fact, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Disney World in the summer of 2024, and “later in 2024” in Disneyland. Below, you can see the current construction progress. If that big hill looks familiar, that’s because this ride was formerly known as Splash Mountain!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Back in 2020, Disney announced that Splash Mountain would close and get a complete makeover. The new attraction is inspired by The Princess and the Frog. But this won’t be the same old Princess and the Frog story we’ve seen before. Nope — Disney is creating a NEW story for the ride! But wait. We may have found a NEW clue that might give us some hints about the attraction.
