food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to Disney World this holiday season, you should know about some BIG new discounts that were just announced for the hotels on property!
Grand Floridian
Staying at a Disney World hotel gets you a few pretty great perks, like access to free transportation between your hotel and the parks and Early Theme Park Entry to all four parks. Now, you can save up to 25% on your next Disney World hotel stay if you’re visiting between October and December 2023. [Read more…]
Sometimes, we need an outlet for our energy. Let’s be honest, we all feel a little extra peppy and excited when we first enter the Disney World parks, and our energy tends to deplete as the day goes on — those Disney parks tire us out!
The jungle trek is a hidden gem!
If you’re looking for a spot to take your little ones to burn a little energy after devouring a bag of cotton candy, we’ve got some GREAT news for you, parents!
Some days, it feels like we’re being SWAMPED with Disney news!

From announcements for the theme parks to movie premieres and updates about Disney+, there’s no shortage of things happening with The Walt Disney Company. And recently, at the Annecy Festival, Disney shared some big updates that we wanted to pass along!
It’s not the first time we’ve said it — no two days are alike in Disney World.
EPCOT
You might find a new favorite snack on Monday, only to realize that it’s no longer on the menu by Tuesday! New restaurants and rides are popping up all the time, and just when you thought you knew where all the bathrooms were — Disney goes and switches things up on ya.
This new collection by Vera Bradly is “purity.” (You’ll see what we mean in a second)
Disney Springs
We’ve seen some great Disney100 merchandise hit the shelves all over Disney World and Disney Springs since the celebration began. Speaking of Disney Springs, the Vera Bradley store has launched several fun Disney-themed collections featuring Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, and even Snow White, but this new collection is one that will have you running out to Disney Springs. Let’s take a look!
If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re a little nerdy when it comes to Disney.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
We’ve seen the animated classics countless times, visit the parks daily, and altogether our staff probably owns an obscene amount of Disney merchandise. But besides those “typical” fan behaviors, we like to glance at the Disney data every now and then. We keep up with the stocks, the quarterly financial reports, and of course, the theme park rankings and surveys. And recently, a new report came out with some very interesting results.
Trattoria al Forno is a popular dining spot located on Disney’s BoardWalk, serving up Italian-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Disney’s BoardWalk
Trattoria recently closed for some refurbishments, and Disney stated that guests could expect the restaurant to be closed from June 11th to June 17th, 2023. In the meantime, guests have been able to enjoy the restaurant’s limited breakfast menu while using Flying Fish’s dining room. We made dining reservations for Trattoria al Forno for June 19th, hoping to check out the recent changes and see if there were any menu updates. But we just got a phone call from Disney, and it was NOT what we wanted to hear! 😥
We think it’s time for a shopDisney sale roundup! (ShopDisney sale roundup!) 🎶
Want to save some money on Disney merchandise?
Get it? Like how Mirabel sings “grandkid roundup” in Encanto’s “The Family Madrigal” song? Yeah, you got it. It seems that shopDisney has been having sale after sale lately, and what better time is there to stock up on all the merchandise you’ve been eyeing? We know you probably don’t need the extra temptation, but this post is dedicated to all the best deals on shopDisney right now.
Just when you get comfortable navigating the parks, Disney switches things up on you. Just when you finally thought you understood the rules of Genie+, we find an exception. Let’s be real; things change in Disney World all the time.
Disney’s BoardWalk
Right now, there’s a TON of construction going on both in the parks and around various resorts, which can cause a lot of things to change. While we were walking around Disney’s BoardWalk Inn recently, we noticed that a popular pizza spot temporarily MOVED.
It’s a good thing that those tins of Christmas cookies have a weirdly long shelf life (what’s up with that, by the way?), because it turns out that a little extra holiday cheer found its way to the month of June!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
We’ve seen a flurry of holiday news lately in the Disney parks, including a look at the special treats and merchandise coming soon, but hidden within those festive announcements was ANOTHER piece of information.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
