And, since we’ve been friends for a while now, we’re letting you in on our secret!

Disney Springs is now home to ANOTHER new experience and this one isn’t as exclusive as you might think!
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
It wasn’t too long ago that we were introduced to a new limited-run nighttime show at Disney Springs that had swarms of people pooling into the shopping and dining district for a peek. We’ve also seen new summer menus for some of our favorite restaurants, savored a bunch of tasty treats made with genuine Florida ingredients, and had to part with a few stores — but that doesn’t mean that Disney World is ready to slow down with the changes just yet!

Disney Cast Members are THE BEST.
We LOVE Disney World Cast Members
We will say that over and over, as many times as it needs to be said. Disney Cast Members go above and beyond to take care of visitors to Disney Parks, adding their own little special magic in the process. We’ve talked a lot about some of the amazing things Cast Members do, and we’ve even got some former Cast Members on our team. If you’ve ever been a Disney College Program Cast Member, though, we’ve got to tell you about something you may not know about.
Disney is celebrating a major milestone with a NEW ticket offer.
Disneyland
Walt Disney’s original theme park Disneyland first opened its gates for a media event on July 17th, 1955, before opening fully to the public on July 18th, meaning that the park just recently celebrated its 69th birthday. In honor of this anniversary — and as a way to goose summer season ticket sales — Disney has announced a corresponding ticket deal for the park’s hometown fans!

We like to check up on some of our longtime favorite restaurants often to see if they hold up.

Let’s face it — this is one of the most exciting cruise ships designed by Disney Cruise Line yet. We mean, the ship is going to have a Haunted Mansion Parlor!!! Plus a Coco dining experience and TWO Marvel dining experiences. TWO! Then there’s the Jungle Cruise-inspired bar, the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea bar, an Aristocats-themed lounge (our cat-loving hearts can’t even), and SO much more. Disney also just announced a huge milestone for the ship, too.
A new sweet treat has come to EPCOT.
EPCOT Monorail
There’s no shortage of snacks at Walt Disney World, and those with every kind of palate should be able to find something they enjoy somewhere on Disney property. Well, if you’re looking for something new, we’ve got GREAT news! Some new additions can be found at one of EPCOT’s hidden gem snack spots.
