food IS a theme park
Things we love around here, Disney, food, and saving money!
SO MANY
Not to be outdone by Amazon, the Walmart superstore came up with its own version of “Prime Days” — the Walmart Deals for Days event. Since Amazon Prime Day now happens twice a year, Walmart Deals for Days is following suit with a second opportunity to save this year, from October 10th-13th.
If you’ve ever been to the Disney parks, you’ve probably noticed the SEA of Loungefly backpacks.
SO MANY
They’re seemingly everywhere — from guests’ backs to the shelves of all the popular stores. You’ll probably see at least six different designs that you love. But if you’re the person that takes a look at the price tags and second guesses everything, then we have a solution for you!
YES, we know it’s Labor Day weekend — and many of us are celebrating the end of summer right now.
Are you celebrating the end of summer at Disney World?
But we’ve also seen the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte this week, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is in full swing, and Halloween costumes are selling out online. So, we hate to tell you, but it may be time to turn your attention to Christmas shopping!
It’s happened to all of us — we get to Disney World and we realize we forgot to pack some necessities, like sunscreen, aspirin, rain gear, etc.
Forget something? It could cost you…
And sure, it’s SUPER convenient just to pick up what we need inside Disney World gift shops. But here’s the thing — those items will cost you a LOT more at Disney World than they would if you had remembered them or if get them from somewhere else. But it happened. Now you’re standing in that gift shop scanning for deodorant or toothpaste or underpants. So how much will this cost you??
Disney World is full of highly themed, over-the-top pools for families to enjoy while they’re on vacation. But, since we can’t spend all of our time at a Disney Resort (though we wish we could) in the summer, sometimes we have to make the backyard work!

And, if you’re a fan of Disney, the only way to make water time at home even better is to do it with some of your favorite Disney characters, right? So, we’ve compiled all of the Disney pools, splash pads, and water activity centers that are available right now so you can soak in (get it) the remaining warm days before Fall REALLY kicks in! Put down your Pumpkin Spice Latte and enjoy the last days of warm weather!
Halloween is almost here! And we are SO ready for it! Disney World is all decorated for the holiday, the After Hours Boo Bash parties have started, and we’re seeing all kinds of awesome spooky merchandise in the parks!
Cutest Halloween pumpkin ever?
And here’s the thing — if you’re looking to have the spookiest AND most Disney Halloween party on the block, there are some amazing decorations you can get online RIGHT NOW. And we’ve done all the work for you and hunted them down.
No matter how much you’ve planned ahead for your Disney World trip, sometimes you just need to run an errand. Or an emergency strikes.
Cinderella Castle
While Disney offers plenty of amenities (there’s even a [very] mini “grocery store” inside many Disney hotel gift shops!), sometimes you’ve gotta venture off-property for some reason or another. We like to think Disney World has it ALL but…that’s not 100% true. And if you need to run an urgent errand, we’ve got you covered! Here’s where we recommend you refill your gas tank, run out for groceries…well, you get the point.
If you’re a Haunted Mansion fan, it’s likely the words “Welcome, foolish mortals,” give you goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Welcome, foolish mortals
And we get it, we LOVE Haunted Mansion, too. Disney has been on top of releasing loads of unique Haunted Mansion stuff recently, like Madame Leota sippers, Gargoyle statues, Dooney & Bourke bags, MagicBands, and more!
This year, the Daytona 500 will take place on February 14th — how…romantic?

Whether you’ll be spending the day with your sweetie at the race track or racing cars around a play mat at home with the kids, Disney is getting in on the action. They will be bringing back Pixar’s Cars Week leading up to the Daytona 500! And, this speedy week comes with LOTS of new Cars-themed toys in honor of those who will be putting the pedal to the metal!
It’s been over a year since the coronavirus pandemic first hit the United States, but there’s good news! A vaccine has arrived, and slowly but surely, people are getting inoculated.

In a big move to amp up the vaccination efforts, today the White House announced that major retailers across America, including Florida, will begin administering the vaccine soon, getting doses directly from the federal government.
