food IS a theme park
All the Dis things…
Magic Kingdom
Celebrity sightings at Walt Disney World are nothing new, as everyone from heads to state to famous athletes to the world’s biggest musical stars have been making pilgrimages to the company’s theme parks since Walt’s day. Recently one of the biggest rock stars in the world paid a visit to the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
The wilderness is meant to be explored — and by wilderness, we mean food at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So when we heard that a popular restaurant in the park had made a change to their menu recently, we couldn’t help ourselves!

We popped by Tiffins Restaurant for a full meal of interesting eats at a signature dining price and we have to admit that the sticker shock of those fine dining prices did make us a tad nervous before tasting the food. So, after all was said and done, would we have done it over and what did we think about EVERYTHING we tried? Let’s dive in! [Read more…]
EPCOT has seen TONS of changes lately with the opening of the CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, new live entertainment, and a popular ride closing for an extended refurbishment, but it seems that the changes still keep coming.

With all of these huge changes coming at us so fast, sometimes the smaller changes aren’t as noticeable unless you’ve got a trained eye like we do! We spotted a significant, but subtle change that stumped us. [Read more…]
Attention, Disney World visitors! We have an important announcement that may impact your upcoming plans. You’re going to want to hear this, so listen up.
Magic Kingdom
Every once in a while, a Disney World park closes EXTRA early. We’re talking before sunset! Now, if you’re like us and prefer to hit the parks in the late afternoon and evening, an early park closure could seriously throw off your plans — especially if you didn’t pay for a park hopper theme park ticket! Should you AVOID the Magic Kingdom tomorrow, June 21st? Let’s talk about it. [Read more…]
Oh, boy — here we go again! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been a hot topic for over a year now since its announcement and subsequent construction first began. While Disney teased us with lots of details about the ride making us even more excited to snag a preview and be one of the first to ride it, that hasn’t been smooth sailing.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Since tiered previews began for the attraction we’ve seen lots of instances where Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has closed or stopped boarding, sometimes for almost the entire day! And it seems that today didn’t start off much better for the ride. [Read more…]
We’ve got good news and bad news. Let’s start with the bad news because who wants that hanging over your head?
Magic Kingdom
OK, so the bad news is that Magic Kingdom’s beloved Happily Ever After fireworks show will not run for two nights in a row this July. So, if you were hoping to catch the show, you might want to rethink your plans. Now, let’s get to the GOOD news!
If you’ve yet to visit the Disney World hotels you’re considering for your next trip, how do you know you’re making the right decision for you and your family? Think about it for a moment. Comparing hotels solely by a short online description and a few stock photos can make you feel like you’ve made the right choice based on a smidge of idyllic information provided, but that scenario has led to a disaster of a time over and over again. Plenty of our readers have written in to tell us that once they arrived for their vacation, it was NOTHING like what they expected and they wish they had more experience built into their decision.
Wilderness Lodge
Some folks were looking for a lively atmosphere with lots of activities around only to be met with the polar opposite of their expectations. Others walked into total chaos of loud transportation and ginormous crowds which was definitely not what they anticipated when they opted to spend thousands of dollars on their trip. That’s where we’re ready to step in and help — you see, we’ve actually stayed at ALL of the Disney World hotels, and let’s just say, we’ve got thoughts! [Read more…]
When you walk around Disney World, you start to notice some patterns. People end up dressing the same, eating the same, and even buying the same souvenirs! And we don’t know about you, but there’s something nice about spotting your t-shirt twin in Magic Kingdom. You must have good taste if you spot someone else in the same outfit, right?
Time to SHOP!
Well, if you want to be a theme park trendsetter, you’ve come to the right place. We just found a NEW Disney Loungefly collection available online NOW, and there are some CUTE new designs.
As soon as your feet hit that green floral carpet, you know you’ve made it. You’re home! And, in this case, home is actually Disney World. No matter how many times you’ve been to the parks and resorts, it never seems to get old. With new foods to try, new attractions to ride, and new nighttime shows to admire, every trip is different.
