food IS a theme park
If you’re sick and tired of that bar soap slipping out of your hands when you’re washing your hands in the sink at your Disney World hotel, you’ll never believe what could be on the way.
This is a BIG day
We heard a report from a friend of ours that pump soap could be arriving at various Disney World hotel room bathrooms, and we knew we needed to check it out ourselves. So, we headed over to Animal Kingdom Lodge to check it out ourselves, and were NOT disappointed!
We’ve got some great news for travelers who are heading to Disney World for the holiday season, but aren’t attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (or, who are, but just want to see Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade more than once).
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
Typically, the only way to see this iconic parade is during the after hours event, which is an additional ticket cost, but closer to Christmas Day, the parade becomes available during the day for guests to see! Now we know exactly when you can see the parade as a regular Magic Kingdom guest this holiday season.
We’re thrilled that Disney’s newest hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, is still underway, because for a moment there, it didn’t look like it would ever happen!

This new hotel will be opening in 2027, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on construction updates. From what we’ve seen, the main hotel building is coming along well, but now we’ve gotten an updated look at the pool area, which includes a lazy river, and we’re ALREADY looking forward to relaxing.

New themed hotel rooms have debuted, there’s an entire new Magic Key Pass on the way for Disneyland Resort, we found out beloved entertainment offerings are returning in 2026, and so much more. Let’s break it all down so you don’t miss a thing!
On board the Disney Cruise Line ships, you’ll find an ice cream/sweets shop, and most of them have a special signature sundae to grab that isn’t available on any other ship.
The Signature Sundae at Edna Á La Mode Sweets
On the Disney Destiny, that shop is Edna Á La Mode Sweets, which is themed to The Incredibles (more specifically, Edna’s lab with Jack-Jack trying to grab his cookie!), and has TONS of sweets to check out. The Signature Sundae here is cute as can be, but is it really worth the price? We tried it out so you can know before you get on board!
When it comes to dining at Disneyland, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Rancho del Zocalo
We recently stopped by Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante at Disneyland Park 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? Find out here!
When you think of Orlando theme parks celebrating the holiday season, you likely think of Universal Orlando and Disney World, but we’re here to tell you that you can’t leave out Legoland Florida!

We were invited to check out all that Legoland has to offer for the holidays, and we gotta say, you won’t be disappointed! Between specially themed holiday snacks, entertainment, meet and greets, and more, there’s so much you won’t want to miss out on.
For nearly 60 years, the Haunted Mansion has been one of Disney’s most iconic attractions. However, as the ride’s popularity has grown, many fans have begun to wish that some new modern rules could be implemented on the legendary ride.
“And now, a carriage approaches to take you into the boundless realm of the supernatural.Take your loved ones by the hand, please, and kindly watch your step. “
In the 30+ years I’ve been riding Disney World’s Haunted Mansion, I — like millions of other guests — have fallen in love with the ride’s ambiance and environment, which is a key to its success. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the majority of these “rules” all revolve around maintaining said ambiance.
If you often find yourself struggling to decide between watching a Disney holiday film or a Hallmark holiday film, next year, you’ll be able to put on a movie that encapsulates them BOTH!

That’s right! A major announcement was just made that confirms that, for the first time ever, Disney World and Hallmark are teaming up to bring us a brand new film. Here’s everything we know about it so far!
I’ve been going to Disney Parks my whole life. While I’m now a proud Orlando local and enjoy going to Disney World every chance I get, I grew up as a West Coast girl with Disneyland near and dear to my heart.
It’s Christmas time in Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland or are planning a trip, you might have noticed something on the packing list you might not see for Disney World — warm clothes!.
