We are bringing you full coverage of this brand-new ship, including a glimpse into the christening ceremony.
We often share news about our favorite restaurants in Disney World, and if you’ve been reading us for a while, you know that includes places like Homecomin’, Nomad Lounge, Wine Bar George, and several others.
Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs
But you probably also know we have a few restaurants we’re NOT that fond of, and one in particular, has several locations in Disney World. Sure, it’s a “tourist trap” type place, but kids LOVE it, so maybe it makes sense that it’s coming to the top of the Empire State Building in New York. But still, this feels like such a weird flex.
There’s a lot that goes into planning a Disney World vacation. You have to figure out your budget, where you’re going to stay, how long you want to stay, what kind of park ticket to get, and more.
Orlando International Airport
You also have to figure out HOW you’re going to get to Disney World, and for many of us, the answer is by flying into Orlando International Airport. Well, we’ve got some good news on that front: two NEW flights are being added from two BIG cities to Orlando!
We go to Disney World every day, and yeah, we ride some pretty thrilling rides.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
NOOOOO…we’re not talking about “it’s a small world,” although some of y’all might call it a scary ride. But we’ve taken multiple rides on Tower of Terror, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run.
But, there’s an experience going on in New York City right now that we might just say “no,” to.

Broadway ended up being shut down several months due to COVID-19. Once live theater returned, mask and vaccine requirements were put in place for audiences. Now, Broadway has decided to extend its mask mandate. Here’s what you need to know.

Broadway was shut down for more than 16 months due to the global pandemic, so when they were finally able to return, they adopted mask and vaccine requirements for the performers, crew, and audience. These requirements have remained in place ever since, but with New York lifting its mask mandates, you may be wondering if Broadway will now change these requirements. And, we have an answer for you.
