food IS a theme park
There are TONS of souvenirs to choose from on your Disney World trip. You name it — Disney’s (probably) got it.

Some souvenirs are a little cheaper than others, like Disney pins, while others are way more expensive, like building a Lightsaber or Droid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But recently, we spotted a souvenir that seemed pretty obscure, and you definitely need to know about it — especially if you own one of those cute little Star Wars droids.
Watch out! There are several ride, restaurant, and hotel pool CLOSURES happening next week in Disney World, and they might impact your upcoming vacation!

Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 28th through February 3rd.
So decades ago, a lot of folks might have considered Disney’s Hollywood Studios a half-day park.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hey, don’t come at us! It’s true! At one point, Hollywood Studios didn’t have a LOT going on, not like it has now. But thanks to the addition of Toy Story Land and later, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Hollywood Studios has become one of the most popular Disney World parks. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, in particular, has made the park stand out, but despite that, Hollywood Studios is still missing something HUGE.
As a Theme Park Reporter, it’s my job to go to Disney World…ALL. THE. TIME.

And when you go to Disney World multiple times a week, there are some things you learn rather quickly. I can direct you toward any souvenir you’re looking for, give a recommendation for the best value lunch spot, and of course, I know which bathrooms in Disney World are absolutely ELITE. But before I learned all those things? I learned how to pack for the theme parks. My bag typically has everything I need for a successful park day…but what would happen if I tried to go bagless?
It’s certainly no secret that Disney World is home to all sorts of thrills and entertainment, but occasionally, a special event takes place that really makes us excited.

Maybe it’s a runDisney race, an EPCOT Festival, or even an anniversary celebration. No matter what, Disney usually knows how to party. And, Star Wars fans are going to want to keep reading because an exciting event is coming up in Disney World soon!
Planning a Disney World trip can be stressful — even if everything goes smoothly.

But, throw a wrench into those plans and things can get pretty hairy pretty quickly. Between hotel construction, dining reservation woes, and ride closures, any number of mishaps can happen on your vacation. And, folks heading to Disney World this morning will likely have to learn that the hard way!
There are few Disney World souvenirs as iconic as the popcorn bucket.
Who else loves popcorn buckets?
Whether or not you grab whatever regular refillable bucket is available at the time OR you just can’t stop yourself from grabbing those adorable specialty popcorn buckets, these are great souvenirs that you can use again and again. They make for great park accessories, score you discounted popcorn refills for the length of your trip, and they even make great shelf decor or popcorn buckets at home. If you keep up with all things corny at Disney World (Not as corny as that joke, huh?), we have a new popcorn bucket to show you!Â
Hollywood Studios has been the underdog for WAY TOO LONG when it comes to theme park food! But things have CHANGED!

Today, we’re ranking EVERY restaurant in this movie-loving park to tell you what’s gonna be worth your time and money… and what’s really, really not.
Our girl, Minnie Mouse, sure knows how to rock the dots!
Minnie sure knows how to wear the cutest polka dots!
Today, January 22nd, is National Polka Dot Day and we’re celebrating with Minnie! Several new snacks have surfaced at the Disney parks for the momentous occasion. Come with us as we try one of the new ice cream sundaes to celebrate our favorite pattern.
Is it just us or is January the longest month of the year? Okay, so we probably feel like that because so much has happened in Disney World this month.

In food news, we’re still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the Disney Dining Plan now that it’s returned. We’re also on the lookout for all the upcoming Valentine’s Day treats. Plus it’s only the second week of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But Disney World restaurants are continuing to change, so let’s take a look at what those changes were for the past week.
