food IS a theme park
Are you planning to visit Disneyland at the beginning of 2024?
World of Color at Disney California Adventure
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney California Adventure attraction will be closed for refurbishment — tomorrow!
It’s been a VERY busy weekend in Disney World.
Marathon Weekend Crowds in 2023
Although the holiday crowds are mostly gone, this weekend is also the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, which brings THOUSANDS of runners to the parks and resorts. This is a HUGE event, and it usually impacts everything around Disney World, including traffic and, as of January 7th, the virtual queue system.
Where are our Figment fans at?
Figment
We know how much you love that little purple dragon of inspiration. We’ve seen how long you’ll stand in lines to meet him in EPCOT, and we’ll never forget the Figment Popcorn Bucket saga. Well, at least you don’t have to wait in line for a NEW Figment item that’s now available on Amazon: the Figment Little Golden Book.
Meeting characters in Disney World can be some of the most magical moments you’ll remember for years to come.
Minnie and Pluto!
Sometimes you just want to snap a photo on your phone, other times you’ve bought PhotoPass to download all those professional photos, and other times, you just want them to sign something of yours. But an autograph book isn’t the only thing characters can sign. In fact, this is how a super cheap Disney souvenir became a massive trend in the parks!
Well, it’s no secret that planning a trip to Disney World can be pretty expensive.
Intermission Food Court
Once you’ve booked your hotel, paid for your tickets, and booked your flight, you’re already out a pretty penny. And that’s not even including those pricey Genie+ fees! It’s also no secret that price increases happen a LOT on Disney World food, and if you’re planning on eating at your hotel food court, we’ve got some news about that, too.
When it comes to drinking around the world, most of us “start left” at EPCOT’s World Showcase and head straight to the Mexico Pavilion.
La Cava del Tequila
There’s a good reason for that, though. Mexico is home to La Cava del Tequila, a bar that’s so popular even celebrities often frequent this spot. Some celebrities have even created special drinks for the bar. Well, we’re trying a NEW drink from La Cava del Tequila, and this one even snuck in a Breaking Bad reference.
Are you planning to visit Disney World at the beginning of 2024?
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney’s Hollywood Studios attraction will be closed for refurbishment — tomorrow!
Disney has been focusing a lot of its efforts recently on expanding ESPN.

During Disney’s Q3 2023 financial earnings call, one of the company’s key points was “building ESPN into the preeminent digital sports platform.” The company has already moved forward with ESPN Bet, a new sportsbook betting service. The company is also working on CEO Bob Iger’s #1 priority, streaming, which includes ESPN+. A new deal with the NCAA will help Iger in achieving that goal.
Disney World isn’t just about rides and food (although the latter is VERY important to us).
Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom
There are also a lot of fun interactive experiences you can have in the parks! From visiting Kidcot stations in EPCOT to MagicBand+ interacting with things in the parks to DuckTales World Showcase Adventure, there are TONS of OTHER things to do in Disney World. Well, a NEW interactive experience is coming soon, and after chatting with a Cast Member, we’re hoping this experience is getting closer to opening.
The start of the 2024 year is bringing about lots of CHANGES to Disney World and it seems that rides are no exception.
Tree of Life
We already knew that Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster is getting ready to close for a longer refurbishment expected to last through Summer, as well as a few other rides. Now, we’ve got another ride to talk about that will also be ready for a refurbishment over the next few days. [Read more…]
