food IS a theme park
Could the Disney World Skyliner temporarily CLOSE in early 2024?
EPCOT Disney Skyliner Station
Although Disney hasn’t announced any official closures yet, we’ve seen a BIG clue that a refurbishment could be coming up soon. [Read more…]
Listen, we get excited about ALL the new Disney merchandise, okay?
Disney Merch
From the smallest souvenirs to the most extravagant products, we wanna hear about it. And then, we’ll tell YOU all about it! Now, if you, or someone in your life, loves American Girl and Disney, you NEED to see this right now!
Disney World is super magical… until it’s not.
Magic Kingdom
The good news is, the Cast Members do a great job of hiding the not-so-magical things from us Disney World visitors. It’s showbiz, baby! So, the Cast Members have a super cool secret code language to communicate with each other so that they can talk about happenings in the area without attracting unwanted attention or chaos. We have several former Cast Members on the team, and we all have some Cast Member besties in our life, so we love to talk about all the code words that are used in the parks. In the past, we’ve talked about Code Vs, Code 101s, and even Code As. Today, we have another code word to share!
Looking for a (nearly) all-inclusive Disney vacation option?
Booking a cruise just got easier
Look no further than Disney Cruise Line! Sure, technically not everything is included on a Disney cruise, but it’s basically a giant floating Disney park sans rides, and what more could you want?! And now, it’s even EASIER to book a Disney cruise!
One of our favorite things about the Disney Parks is the amount of thought and detail that goes into the park theming and decor.
Partners Statue
Throughout each of the Disney Parks, there are small tributes to Walt Disney himself — and, of course, the Mouse that started it all. Statues of Walt and Mickey can be found at a few of the Disney Parks, like the “Partners” Statue that can be found in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Now, Disney has shared a first look at an all-new statue that’s coming soon to a Disney Park.
Believe it or not, Halloween season has officially started in Disney World.
Halloween is here!
In Magic Kingdom, we’ve seen adorable pumpkin decorations arrive on Main Street, U.S.A. Even Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party starts this month on August 11th and we’re counting down the days. We have also seen a new collection of Halloween merchandise hit the stores in Disney World, and there are a few items for sale that we know are going to be SUPER popular this year!
You might already be familiar with the D23 Expo (not being held in 2023) and Destination D (coming in September of 2023!) — both of which are expos run by Disney that typically bring in some exciting Disney news. But there’s ANOTHER event you need to mark down in your calendars ASAP.

IAAPA is The Global Association for the Attraction Industry and it holds its very own expo that can reveal some BIG updates for all kinds of theme parks around the world, including Disney’s! In the past, events held through IAAPA or at the IAAPA Expo have brought us updates on Avengers Campus in Disneyland, details about festivals and why they’re of critical importance to theme parks, and even news about Gideon’s Bakehouse. And soon, we could get more updates!
We love events in Disney World that bring special snacks — how can we not love it? We love Disney FOOD (it’s literally part of our name).
Swirls on the Water
So we spent a lot of time hunting down Fourth of July treats last month, and we can’t wait to try all the Halloween goodies Disney has in store for us for spooky season. Right now, though, we’re celebrating World Princess Month, and a ton of new princess-themed snacks have arrived all around the resort. So let’s head to Disney Springs to check out what might be the PRETTIEST Dole Whip we’ve ever seen.
It’s officially August — WHERE did the time go?
It’s August
This month we’re seeing Halloween decorations at Disney parks and the first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year is just around the corner. Big things aren’t just happening in the parks, though — there is a lot of new material you can stream on Disney+ this month as well!
Haunted Mansion fans: we apologize in advance.
The Haunted Mansion
There have been SO many tempting Haunted Mansion souvenirs released lately — from an entire Dooney & Bourke collection to a light-up sipper — but you might just need to open up those wallets again to get Disney’s latest Haunted Mansion item.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
