food IS a theme park
Mother’s Day is this weekend, and we’ve already been preparing with all kinds of special treats for our awesome moms!
Mother’s Day Cupcake
We’re talking gifts, brunch, homemade meals, and even a Disney PhotoPass opportunity! But, if your mom would prefer coffee or a cocktail over a bouquet of flowers, Mother’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a few “cheers” over these DIY drinks!
We love going to Disney World and seeing all the characters.
Goofy!
And although character meet and greets aren’t happening right now, the character cavalcades and the character interactions (Alice, Mary Poppins, Rapunzel, Pooh, and more) have been a LOT of fun!
But we recently had a character interaction that didn’t quite go according to plan… .
Today was a HUGE day for Disney World!
Celebration of The Festival of The Lion King
When Disney World reopened last year, much of the live entertainment was suspended. But then we got the news that Festival of the Lion King would return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And today, the show returned for a soft reopening, and WE WERE THERE!
Mobile Order can often be convenient, but with several restaurants at Disney Parks using it, it can also create a host of problems, as we’ve seen at Disney World.
Cocina Cucamonga
And we’re starting to see some issues at Disneyland Resort, too, which recently reopened. If you thought waiting 30-45 minutes at for a meal at Disney World was bad, just wait until you hear how long guests waited for their Mobile Order at Disneyland today!
We got some BIG news earlier this week about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel coming to Disney World!

While this immersive experience was initially scheduled to open in 2021, it was pushed back to 2022 — and we got tons of info about dining, a sneak peek at a SUPER cool lightsaber, and so much more. In fact, we got SO much news that it can all be just a little confusing! Which is why we’re here: to break down everything we know (so far!) about this hotel. Let’s get started!
It’s hard for us to say no to a new margarita at Disney World, and we’ve had some super unique ones!
We’re at Nomad Lounge!
There was a Dole Whip Margarita, a Tomato Margarita, an Avocado Margarita, and a Wild Passion Margarita! And we’re still willing to try any new margarita concoction Disney World can throw at us. But today, did we meet our margarita match?
Peter Pan is such a classic Disney movie with some very endearing characters.
Look at that puppers!
And we have seen some of those characters get merchandise, including Peter Pan and Wendy, Tinker Bell, and Captain Hook! But today, we found a character we haven’t seen on much merchandise at Disney World before!
We’re back to check in on all of the construction projects that are going on around Disney World right now!
Cinderella Castle
A lot of things are shifting as Disney prepares for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations and, as Disney wraps up a few projects, there are more to follow. And, some of the projects may have a BIG impact on your vacation. So, let’s get to the latest updates from this week!
We are big fans of Wine Bar George — The Basket, not to mention awesome Frosé we often get from there!
Corkcicle!
But we also love the Corkcicles you can get there filled with your choice of a frozen drink. What’s better than a drink IN a reusable cup, right? And The Basket has been offering a variety of Corkcicles to choose from for a while!
We have received some BIG Disney news recently!
Cinderella Castle
Disney World will have a ticketed Halloween party is returning this year — but it’ll look a little different! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled, but Disney After Hours BOO BASH will be taking its place and kicking off this August. We couldn’t be more excited for the treats, character encounters, and more. But what does this After Hours event’s return mean for other After Hours events (think Moonlight Magic and Villains After Hours) around the parks? These events were all canceled in 2020, with no word on when they could return.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
