If you’ve ever wanted to have your own version of Captain Jack Sparrow’s ship, your time has finally come. LEGO just released a new 2,800+ piece set that brings this iconic ship to life right in your home!
Christmas may be months away, but it’ll be here before we know it!
Now is the time to buy Christmas gifts!
Months pass SO quick when there’s so much to do each and every day (but somehow feel like they pass SO slowly when you’re waiting for your next Disney trip), so when Disney releases holiday collections early, we think it’s a great idea to shop them early before items sell out, or prices potentially increase later in the year. Disney released a new collection recently, and we already KNOW this one is about to be super popular, so act fast!
We don’t know about you all, but saving money is a BIG deal to us — whenever we can, we’ll save a few dollars (because that means we have more to spend on our next Disney vacation — girl math, right?).

If you’re a D23 member, you’re likely aware that there are tons of special discounts you can get around Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond. While General D23 members receive some of these savings, D23 Gold Members often enjoy even more benefits. Right now, there are TWO deals D23 Gold Members can take advantage of at a Disney Springs restaurant (and there’s even a deal for General Members), so no one will want to miss out!
There’s just something about the prospect of enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet prepared by one of the cutest chefs we’ve ever seen that keeps drawing us back to this one particular restaurant. While admittedly we’ve not had the best experiences dining here lately, they just don’t seem to be enough to keep us completely away just yet. Was this latest visit to a divisive Disney World character meal enough to redeem its reputation? Let’s find out!
Chef Mickey’s
We recently stopped by Chef Mickey’s for breakfast at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!

If you’re going to Disney World during this spooky season, we’re begging you: stop skipping this spot in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
An underrated Magic Kingdom shop just got a new Halloween merchandise experience, and we’re telling you that you can’t miss it! Yes, we said “merchandise experience” because this is more than just a regular gift shop souvenir. Prepare to be AMAZED!
Don’t mind us, just hopping on a spontaneous flight to Disney World RIGHT NOW!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
Fall is one of our favorite times of the year in Disney World. There are the many delicious menu additions at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, the spooky season fun of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and new seasonal offerings all around the resort. And now, we have yet another reason that we absolutely NEED to teleport to Disney World immediately!
In recent years, the EPCOT International Gateway entrance has experienced a surge in usage, thanks to the introduction of the Skyliner, which has led many to discover and take advantage of this secondary entrance located near the World Showcase’s France Pavilion.
International Gateway Friendship Boat
I’ve been visiting EPCOT for 30 years, and for the vast majority of that time, the International Gateway between the France and United Kingdom pavilions in World Showcase has been available to EPCOT guests. First opened in the early 1990s, the secondary entrance was initially meant for guests staying in the EPCOT Resort Area (Yacht & Beach Clubs, Swan & Dolphin, and later the Boardwalk) as well as the then MGM-Studios theme park, each of which is linked to the Gateway via walking paths and Friendship boats. As mentioned above, use of the entrance increased drastically with the opening of the Skyliner gondola system in 2019.

With budgeting as such an important factor for many people planning their dream vacation, we’re constantly on the lookout for important pricing updates that could impact future travels. That’s why we’ve got our eye on the discussion of an entertainment tax that could impact Disneyland Resort if implemented.
