food IS a theme park
Yeah, we know it’s May, but we’re so ready to just fast forward to fall.
We love Halloween!
Sure summer is fun, but it’s also hot and humid. But fall doesn’t just bring cooler weather (well, slightly cooler if you live in Florida). It also brings what could be the BEST holiday of them all, Halloween! And, well, if you love Halloween as much as we do (and yes, we have our tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party already), we just found a new Loungefly on Amazon that’s a must-have!
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places to stop when we’re not spending time in the parks — especially because you don’t need a park ticket!
The Polite Pig
And, The Polite Pig happens to be one of our favorite places to stop while we’re there! Don’t let this quick-service barbecue spot fool you; it’s some of the absolute best food on the entire Disney World property. We recently stopped by to grab a new cocktail, and we’re SO glad we did.
Disney Stores aren’t as common around malls, outdoor shopping districts, and everything in between anymore, with the 2021 announced store closures, which makes us a little sad.
Times Square Disney Store (2021)
Now, if you want to grab some of your favorite merchandise, it’s much easier to hop onto the Disney Store website, or even go to Disney World or Disneyland to get what you’re looking for. However, we’ve got AMAZING news for Disney fans over in London — a new pop-up shop is opening this summer!
What if there were secret MAPS to help you escape Disney World crowds?!
Magic Kingdom
The parks can get seriously crowded, especially during holidays, school breaks, or the summertime. And during those days, we often find ourselves looking for shortcuts to avoid those packed main walkways. Today, we’re sharing some helpful maps that will guide you to the best secret pathways to avoid crowds!
Disney shocked the theme park community this past spring when the company announced that they were teaming with the Miral Group to bring their first Middle East-based theme park to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

The new park will be located on Yas Island, with Disney and Miral having a similar agreement to the one that Disney has long had with the Oriental Land Company in Japan. Meaning that the new resort will be developed and built by Miral, with Disney and its Imagineers leading creative design and operational oversight. While that has been a recipe for success for Tokyo Disneyland, things may be a bit trickier in the UAE.
MSC Cruises just announced it is expanding its fleet! The company announced that it has just ordered two more World Class ships in addition to the four set to debut soon.

With more cruise companies like Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and even Disney Cruise Line looking to add more destinations and ships than ever before, one popular cruise line isn’t looking to be left behind! This latest announcement for MORE gigantic ships could unlock even more potential for cruisers, giving you more choices of where you want to cruise and how.
Will you be traveling to Disney World this summer?
Target
If so, you might be planning to spend some time in your hotel pool, or if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you might be planning to take advantage of that free water park perk. However, you’ll need shoes for walking around the pool or water parks, right? Well, Target just dropped a new collection of sandals that could be perfect for your pool or water park day in Disney World.
The Savannah Bananas recently visited Disneyland!

On May 28th, 2025, Disneyland filled with a special cavalcade, themed food and beverages, and more to celebrate this wacky baseball team. We checked out one of the special treats as part of this celebration, and to be honest, we’re kind of glad it was only around for a little while.
