food IS a theme park
2026 is gonna be a huge year for Hollywood Studios – and today’s ULTIMATE GUIDE is gonna help you plan out your upcoming theme park visit…
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
even if it means planning around the UNEXPECTED.
One of Disney’s most popular products of the last several years is coming to EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts in 2026!
Festival of the Arts!
Introduced several years ago, Lorcana is a Collectible Card Game – or CCG – similar to games like the Pokémon Trading Card Game or Magic: The Gathering. While many engage in competitive play, there are many who just purchase cards for display and collectibility purposes, thanks to their unique artwork of Disney characters. Which brings us to FARTS…
Enjoy the next little bit of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, because next year the park will never look the same again!
Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Almost the entirety of Disney World is under construction right now. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is building a new animation courtyard, moving The Muppets to Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster, and adding Monsters Inc. to where Muppet’s Courtyard used to be. Meanwhile, Magic Kingdom is getting ready to start building Piston Peak and Villains Land. Then, there’s Animal Kingdom, which will be going through a MASSIVE change!
If you’re planning on spending Christmas or New Year’s at the Most Magical Place on Earth, we hope you’re ready for those CROWDS!
Magic Kingdom
While Disney World did away with Park Pass Reservations for most date-based tickets, Annual Passholders and select other groups are still required to make reservations. The holiday season is known for being one of the busiest times of the year in the parks, and it looks like park passes are already SOLD OUT for Magic Kingdom from Christmas Eve to New Year’s.
These EPCOT World Showcase hacks are getting wilder by the day, and some of them are taking trips to a whole new level.
EPCOT’s World Showcase
You can visit on the most average weekday and still spot people rolling through with systems, strategies, and color-coded plans that feel like they were crowdsourced by a fleet of theme park commandos. The World Showcase is already a full-day commitment, but these hacks keep pushing the limits in ways that make you wonder if we’ve all just collectively decided to turn snacking around a lagoon into a competitive sport. If you’re heading to EPCOT soon, these are five World Showcase hacks that have officially gotten out of control.
Okay, all you chronic Disney World overpackers, raise your hands! (*slowly slides hand into the air guiltily*)
What shoes do you wear in the parks?
It can be seriously challenging to pack all your park outfits, Minnie ears, Loungefly backpacks, and hotel essentials in your luggage while still saving room for souvenirs on the way home. But you know what’s probably taking up too much space? Shoes! You really only need 3 pairs of shoes for Disney World — allow me to explain.
It’s time for a Loungefly round-up! We love Loungefly bags, especially when they’re mixed with Disney and available online.
@Amazon
We found 13 bags that we need to share with you. They just dropped online, and they make fantastic gifts for the other Disney lovers in your life or a perfect treat for yourself.
There is SO much holiday fun at Disney World, and we’re adding even more. You might have heard of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights, but don’t sleep on the Disney World resorts for more holiday magic.
Swan and Dolphin
The Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort is bringing tons of holiday events to the resort, making this one of the best resorts to stay in if you want Christmas overload at every corner.
Few snacks from Disney movies are as iconic as the Gray Stuff from Beauty and the Beast.
The Grey Stuff Cupcake
At the Be Our Guest restaurant, themed after the movie, you can even get it for dessert! So, imagine how excited we were when we saw that there was a new version of the Gray Stuff you could find without booking a reservation at Be Our Guest. That’s right, there’s a new Gray Stuff in town and we’re bringing you with us to check it out.
When you’re heading to Disney World, there’s a LOT to pack, and we totally understand that it can feel overwhelming.
INIU Portable Charger
Thankfully, that’s where we come in! Not only are we inside the Disney World parks nearly every single day and use tons of products to see if they make our days easier or don’t have an effect, but we’ve also had former Cast Members on our team tell us about the products they 100% would not recommend going to Disney World without. We made this list based off their recommendations, and now you know what you’ll want to ensure you have for your next vacation!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
