food IS a theme park
After a 3-month-long refurbishment closure, Expedition Everest is FINALLY reopening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Expedition Everest
We just learned that the popular roller coaster will officially be open for guests starting on April 16th. But we found out today that not everyone has to wait until this weekend to ride it again… .
Want to SKIP the lines for Expedition Everest? Well, you can…but just how you do that is about to change for a limited time.
Expedition Everest
For several months now, Expedition Everest has been closed for refurbishment. There was a potential for the ride’s refurbishment to last longer than expected, but now it seems like the ride will now be reopening soon! And when it does its Lightning Lane/Genie+ situation will be a little different than it was before.
We’ve seen so many ways to celebrate Earth Day in 2022!

In Disney World (and at home, probably), your phone is basically your lifeblood. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to go to Disney World without a smartphone! Your phone wears many hats during your vacation; it’s your camera, credit card, park ticket, room key, menu, planner, MagicBand, oh, and you can, you know, make calls with it too. Clearly, that’s a lot to ask from just one device, especially in the Florida heat!

So, what happens when your phone decides to quit? What’s the plan when your plans are trapped in a dead phone? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Let’s talk about what to do when your phone dies in Disney World.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary in Animal Kingdom!
From new items, to exciting foods — there’s a lot to update you on! We’ll continue visiting Animal Kingdom to find the latest changes and arrivals, but in the meantime, here’s what’s new!
When you tell your Aunt Susan or Becky down the street that you went to Disney World, they’ll probably ask you, “Did you eat any Mickey waffles?” Sure, churros and popcorn are a few classic theme park snacks, but nothing says “Disney World” quite like a Mickey waffle. While a Disney newbie might not be well-versed on the contents of a Pongu Lumpia, they probably still know about Mickey waffles — they’re practically a cultural phenomenon!
Isn’t it a beautiful sight?!
For many families, eating a Mickey waffle on vacation is a must-do! Between the DOZENS of Disney World resorts and theme parks, there are tons of places to pick up an order of waffles. Lucky for you, we’ve made things easy and compiled a list of ALL the places you can buy a Mickey waffle in Disney World.
Wanna know what really gets us excited?
