Animal Kingdom
And over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, after we practically WALKED on Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest with the low wait times we’ve seen, we headed back to Tiffins for a lunch date!
There are two types of Disney fans — Disney dog lovers and Disney cat lovers.
Mickey and Pluto!
Okay, okay, maybe you’re both! After all, if you put a puppy and a kitten in front of us, we’re NOT going to be able to tell you which one is cuter. But, if you ARE prepared to take a stand as to which kind of person you are, then we have the Disney mugs for you! Check out the Cat Person and Dog Person mugs we found in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

We love a good mini backpack! And when it comes in a Disney print?? Well then we just gotta have it!
Snow White!
Loungefly certainly has been providing us with a bunch of Disney bags lately. We were especially taken with these Halloween-themed bags and this Haunted Mansion backpack (can you tell we’re in the mood for Halloween already?). We also loved this Beauty and the Beast-inspired backpack. But this new Loungefly bag just may be the fairest of them all… [Read more…]

With the promise of limited capacity, we have witnessed drastically lower crowds than what we would typically see during the summer season. But how have these crowd levels changed over the last month? This is a question we’re getting more and more often from our readers and social media followers, so let’s find out!
As you’re probably aware EPCOT is in the midst of a pretty major transformation.
Epcot Entrance
The transformation includes the reworking of much of Future World, some enhancements around World Showcase, and the reimagining of the EPCOT Main Entrance.
