food IS a theme park
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off at Magic Kingdom on August 15th, and we can’t wait to take in all the sights, sounds, frights, and foods.
I Spy a Treat Marker!
One of the BEST parts about this yearly event is being able to go trick-or-treating INSIDE Magic Kingdom. Yep, that’s right — FREE CANDY! You’ll find various trick-or-treat locations throughout the party, and we’ve got the full list of treat stations right here!
Attention Annual Passholders! The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is offering an exclusive discount for Annual Passholders. You can save up to 30% on select rooms, but the offer is only valid for a limited time!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is operated by Marriott, but hotel guests receive many of the same perks as Disney World hotel guests do.

Let’s take a look at the exclusive offer for Annual Passholders!
The Walt Disney Company is no stranger to lawsuits.
Walt Disney Company Headquarters in Burbank
Several months ago, the Portland Pickles Baseball Team sued the Walt Disney Company over a trademark infringement claim that ties to the show Win or Lose on Disney+. The lawsuit has now been settled, according to court documents.
Disney World is going through quite a few changes right now — and we just discovered another one!
Spread from eet by Maneet Chauhan
Typically, when you want to dine at a Disney World table-service restaurant, you need an Advanced Dining Reservation (ADR). There are some exceptions to that rule (like walk-up waitlists), but at Disney World quick-service restaurants, no reservations are required. Over at eet by Maneet in Disney Springs — a quick-service spot — you can now book ADRs!
What if we told you there was an eBay-like marketplace where you could purchase trips that other people can no longer use?
Lookout Cay
SpareFare is changing the travel game by matching people looking to sell nonrefundable trips at steep discounts, and according to the Wall Street Journal, it might just be the best thing travel has seen in years.
I’m a HUGE Disney World fan, but I’m about to convince you to switch sides.
Me at Epic Universe
I’ve been going to Disney World for my job for four years now, and that amounts to quite a few hours spent in the parks. On top of that, I’m just a generally hardcore Disney fan, and with my Annual Pass, I go to the parks as often as possible just for fun. (I even moved to Central Florida so that I could do just that!) But these days, I’m SEVERELY tempted to cheat on my favorite Disney World park.
Let’s be real — Florida heat doesn’t mess around. Whether you’re park-hopping in the middle of July or just trying to survive the walk from your hotel to the bus stop without melting, you need a game plan for staying cool.
So cute!
Luckily, we found a bunch of Amazon bestsellers that are perfect for beating the heat — and some of them are even on sale right now for around $10. These aren’t just cute gadgets or gimmicks. These are the lifesavers you’ll be glad you packed when you’re standing in line for Jungle Cruise and wondering if your face is still attached.
Calling all LEGO fans! Target just released a new LEGO set that you absolutely won’t want to miss.
Target
This is especially true if you’re a big fan of Star Wars. I’ve seen many LEGO sets in my time writing about Disney, but I’m thrilled that they’ve FINALLY made one representing my favorite Star Wars character…an ewok!
We are LESS than a month away from the start of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. In fact, we are 24 days away to be exact (and yes, we are most definitely counting the days!)

2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
