food IS a theme park
YAY! You’re planning a Disney World vacation and we couldn’t be more EXCITED for you!
Magic Kingdom Sign
We’re betting you’ve already done some extensive research to figure out which Disney World resort hotel is best for you, but we want to share a few common pitfalls that trip up a lot of Disney World guests!
“Oh, BOY!” A brand new game is available on the DisneyNOW app: Mickey & Minnie’s Runway Railway: Adventure Kit!
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
This free game gives you the chance to control cars, trains, and more driven by Mickey and pals through “a series of scenic adventures” based on the new Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! [Read more…]
There’s a LOT to accomplish in a single day at Disney World! Between all the rides to ride, shows to see, and characters to meet, FastPass+ is an excellent way to do it all.Â

With park crowds being relatively low in the morning, it may be optimal for you to make FastPass+ reservations in the late morning and early afternoon. This gives you the chance to ride some prime attractions in the morning before the lines build up, AND leaves the possibility to score MORE FastPasses later in the day.
But as you’re planning your FastPass selections, you may find that this strategy leaves little time for lunch. And keeping your energy up is critical to check all those boxes off your “to do” list!

With that in mind, we have six lunch suggestions for you to consider. These lunches will get you to your FastPasses on time, while still giving you a delicious meal. We cover all four parks in this list, so let’s jump right in!
If meeting characters in Disney World is a priority for your family, we highly recommend you consider booking at least one character dining experience. The main benefit of character dining is pretty significant: you don’t have to wait in long lines to meet multiple characters.Â
Mickey Mouse
And if you want to meet the Big Cheese — Mickey Mouse himself — during your meal, you have a few great options both in the parks and at the resorts. He even has a different outfit at each of the character dining restaurants, so he’ll always have a unique look no matter which restaurant you pick! But how do you choose WHICH character meal to book? Let’s run through them here and see which meals are 100% worth it and which are totally skippable.
There are few things we enjoy more than looking through old family photos and seeing what Disney World used to look like.
1985 Magic Kingdom
Almost like a time capsule of sorts, these photos give us a glimpse into what Disney World was like back in the ’90s, ’80s, and even ’70s! We also get a fun reminder of what fashion and hairstyles used to look like as well. 😉
Pluto!
We had our writers and staff send in old family pictures and the results were AMAZING. We hope you enjoy looking through this digital album as much as we did!
Disney souvenirs can be some of the best ways to commemorate your vacation and keep the magic alive at home.
Pirate Minnie Ears
You can choose to twirl around in a new dress inspired by your favorite Disney movie, wear an accessory fit for a Disney World adventurer, or grab a bag to stuff with your fav snacks. Although we love all the options you can pick from in the parks, we especially love the ability to personalize our own items!
There are a LOT of amazing treats in Disney World, whether you’re a fan of the classic Dole Whip or you like mixing and matching things to build your own creation (Mickey Ear Ice Cream Sandwich, where ya at?).

But, even though there are plenty of Instagram-worthy snacks around the park, there are also a few treats that really catch you off guard by how strange they are. We’re talkin’ about the most unusual treats of the bunch with weird flavors and even weirder designs.
Today is a day as sacred as the Jedi Temples. It’s May the Fourth, or also known as “Star Wars Day” by fans everywhere.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We’ve been watching all the Star Wars movies on Disney+ (including The Rise of Skywalker) with Blue Milk Pudding in one hand and some of our fave Star Wars merchandise in the other. But, the day is not over yet because there’s a NEW item that you’re going to want to add to your home ASAP!
Ever wanted to actually become a part of your own Star Wars story??
Lieutenant Beck on Rise of the Resistance
Disney World and Disneyland’s latest attraction, Rise of the Resistance, sets you off on a thrilling journey through a Resistance base, a Star Destroyer, and MORE as you try to escape the First Order! Although the parks may be closed and you can’t visit Galaxy’s Edge in person (miss you, Chewie), you can still travel to a galaxy far, far away from the comfort of your home!
Cinderella Castle
Disney World is the most magical place on earth! But every now and then, we find ourselves wondering about the pixie dust behind the curtain. We managed to dig up answers to some of these puzzling questions, but others remain a magical mystery! Here are six burning questions we have about Disney World! If you can answer any of the mysteries, let us know!
