food IS a theme park
Disneyland ride closures, new overlooked experiences, and super hidden snack hacks?
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
From one Disney fan to another, PLEASE don’t make these mistakes on your upcoming trip to Disneyland!
Every Stitch lover’s favorite day of the year is coming up, and Disney Springs is celebrating with a fun activity.
Stitch!
You might know him as Stitch or Experiment 626, but either way, we celebrate the mischievous, chaos-filled alien on June 26th, and this year, you can get a fun, free prize.
There are two types of Disney hotel stays: the ones you dream about for years and the ones you realize (a little too late) were… not it.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you the telltale signs that you’re at the wrong Disney World hotel, and boy oh boy, you delivered.
Great news for fans of Extended Evening Hours!
Hollywood Studios
If you’ve ever wanted to stay in the parks after closing and experience a park with fewer people and shorter lines, then Disney World’s Extended Evening Hours events could be great for you. This is a perk that lets guests at Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas (and select other hotels) stay for a few extra hours in certain parks (on certain nights) AFTER they’ve closed to regular guests. If you are hoping to experience Extended Evening Hours this year, we’ve got fun news — hours have been announced for Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Let’s be real — a day at Magic Kingdom means early mornings, long lines, and lots (and lots) of stuff to carry. Between the water bottles, snacks, portable chargers, and merch, your bag can start to feel like a black hole of chaos real fast. But there’s one item that always seems to be the awkward extra — your mouse ears.
Cinderella Castle
You wear them in the morning. You wear them for castle pics. But let’s be honest… around 2 PM when the heat hits and you’re running between rides, those ears are the first thing to come off. And what happens next? They get shoved in your backpack (and crushed), or worse, you end up holding them like a crown the rest of the day. That’s why we’re kind of obsessed with this new $10 Disney Loungefly-style Mouse Ear Holder we found on Amazon. It’s an absolute must if you’re hitting the parks anytime soon — especially if you’re all about your Loungefly game.
When it comes to dining at Disneyland, you’ve got a lot of different options. You’ve got quick and easy, or a sit-down meal that will allow you to relax in the AC for a while.
Disneyland Entrance and Train Station
We recently stopped by Napolini Pizzeria at Downtown Disney 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 Happiest Place on Earth? We found out!
Are you hungry? If you’re like us, you spend a lot of time perusing Disney recipes on the Internet because you just want to create that feeling of eating Disney food at home.
Docking Bay 7
We’ve shared a lot of recipes, too, including our version of some of our favorite snacks, DOLE’s official recipe for DOLE Whip, and even one of the most popular snacks in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World and Disneyland, the Ronto Wrap. Well, we’ve got another Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge recipe to share with you now: the Felucian Falafel and Hummus Garden Spread from Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. So let’s get to cooking!
It’s been another fun week in Disney World, albeit a hot one. As we start counting down the days until fall (or at least until the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival), we’re still busy keeping an eye out for new food in Disney World.
Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit Skillet
Recently, we found some AMAZING French toast in an unexpected spot PLUS we found a classic Italian treat…in yet another unexpected spot. However, when it comes to menu changes, we’re ALWAYS expecting those, and this week is no different. So let’s see what’s changed in Disney World restaurants this week.
Universal has been doing some serious expanding and coming up with new theme parks and experiences all over the world.

Recently, a new Universal horror experience opened in Las Vegas. PLUS Universal is bringing a new park to the U.K. A new park, Universal Kids Resort, is under construction in Frisco, Texas. Well, we recently took a drive to Frisco to check out the latest construction progress of this new theme park, and things are moving right along.
We’re just a few weeks away from the debut of Disney’s new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight!

Disney Starlight will debut on July 20th, 2025, and we know it’s going to be VERY popular. If you’ll be in town and plan to get a spot for the parade, you’ll want to ensure you give yourself enough time. But how much IS enough time? We’ve done the math, and this is what you’ll want to plan for!
