Calling all active or retired U.S. military members!
Disney World
Disney has been running a series of special offers for active or retired U.S. military members — and now, we’re taking a look at what offers are currently available!
The first signs of SPRING have officially arrived in EPCOT! Even while the 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts remains in full swing (you can still catch it through February 22nd), the park is already preparing for its annual celebration of Spring: the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!

In fact, one of the Festival’s signatures — the beautiful Disney character and Spring-themed topiaries — are already being put into place… and we just happened to see our first one during our visit to the park today! [Read more…]
The past few years have brought major entertainment acquisitions to the Walt Disney Company.

The largest, perhaps, was the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and all its associated studios. Now, Disney is shuttering one division of the former 20th Century Fox and canceling an upcoming film.
In just a few weeks, the Star Wars Trading Post will reopen at its new spot in Downtown Disney in California.
Star Wars Trading Post Progress
While most guests will get the chance to visit it on February 19th, Disneyland Legacy Passholders can preview this spot a few days early. And now, reservations for this special Passholder preview are available!
The last year has brought us a LOT of postponed Disney events, and now there’s another one!

This postponement might be a little surprising, though! The Positively Minnie Polka Dot Summit 2.0 was announced two weeks ago as a digital event for Minnie-lovers. Despite being just-announced and VIRTUAL, this event has now quietly been postponed.
Welcome back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Runaway Railway
We enjoyed a quiet day in the park yesterday and have a few updates for you!
The new Floral Minnie ears are still in the park! We found them in Mickeys of Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd and in Once Upon a Time on Hollywood Blvd. They’re a bright yellow with a lace pattern and some seriously vibrant flowers.
Floral Minnie Ears
These ears are $29.99!

As big Disney fans, we’ve got mad respect for Cinderella! She’s one of the OG Disney princesses, she’s kind and caring, and she’s even got a castle named after her!
Cinderella Castle
And if you’re a fan as well, there are plenty of ways to rep your love for the hardworking and talented princess! You can visit the castle and dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table or check her out in Magic Kingdom’s princess cavalcade. There’s plenty of Cinderella-themed merchandise out there as well, and today, we found a stunning new bag that you’re to find charming!
As part of the EPCOT Transformation, we’ve already seen a new fountain in the park’s entrance, lots of construction basically ALL OVER the park, some parts of the new nighttime spectacular, and more!
EPCOT Fountain
But now, it’s time for something old that is new again. Today, EPCOT’s entrance is looking VERY different because Leave A Legacy has returned!
If you’re planning on visiting Disney World, there are LOTS of hotels both on and off property for you to choose from.
Welcome to Disney World!
Some of those include what Disney calls “Gateway Hotels” — these are hotels that have some special Disney perks at a variety of price points. This includes resorts like the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, the Disney Springs area hotels, and more. And now several hotels from Disney’s new Flamingo Crossings Town Center development have been added to that list!
We found another secret drink in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Restaurantosaurus
Restaurantosaurus has seasonal treats, American eats, and a fun Paleontologist theme. And right next door at Restaurantosaurus Lounge, we’ve been able to dig up a few secret drinks! Today, we found another one — and it’s even Mickey-shaped!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
