food IS a theme park
It’s ALMOST time for one of our favorite holidays to take over Disney World — Halloween! With just days before the first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, menus have DROPPED, revealing all of the snacks that will be offered during the party!
Minnie Witch Hat
There are over 50 items, some new and some returning, and they all look SO delicious (yes, we’re drooling through the screen). Let’s get into everything you’ll be able to grab during this special-ticketed event!
Change is constant in Disney World, and recently we’ve seen it take over Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, A LOT of places in Hollywood Studios, and an entire area in Magic Kingdom.
Piston Peak Construction
And with all of the construction around the resort and new things being announced frequently, we don’t see anything slowing down just yet. ACTUALLY, fans think that there could be MORE changes coming to Magic Kingdom, but why? Here’s why fans think this one attraction in Magic Kingdom could be counting its days…
So I just got back from Disney World, right?
And even though I’ve been to these parks a hundred-odd times before, I felt like THIS particular trip taught me SO MUCH MORE about my personal happy place.
We all have celebrities that are so beloved that we fear the day when we receive bad news about them growing ill or passing. In fact, if we could, we would put all those beloved stars in a plastic bubble where they could be safe forever (Dick Van Dyke, we’re looking at you).

So when a company like Disney posts a photo of an older celebrity that we know and love, Julie Andrews, with a caption that reads “Courage, resilience, grace,” we got VERY upset for a moment before we realized that the announcement is actually about a documentary coming to Disney+ instead.
There’s FREE transportation in Disney World, but it can be complicated to navigate!
Old Key West Boat Dock
With everything from the Monorail and Skyliner to boats and buses, there’s a veritable web of transportation options criss-crossing Disney World. If you’re staying on Disney property, you’ll likely have one or two at your disposal at your resort. But right now, there’s a big transportation change at Old Key West.
Disney World’s hotels have long been known for their perks. From Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours to immersive theming and feature pools, Disney’s resort hotels offer a slew of amenities… which can make it surprising to realize things they DON’T have.

In fact, a somewhat common hotel room amenity is NOT automatically available in the vast majority of Disney hotel rooms: Microwaves.
Disney World has plans to expand, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to. Last year, a new document was filed with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District that outlined potential expansion opportunities for the Most Magical Place on Earth over the next 20 years.
Cinderella Castle
While nothing has been confirmed, both “new minor theme park” and “new major theme park” possibilities were mentioned in the document, which, of course, caused quite an uproar with folks thinking that a fifth Disney World park was on its way. Recently, these documents were updated with additional details clarifying what exactly Disney has planned for the future.
You checked the radar. There are no thunderstorms brewing, no snowstorms swallowing the airport, and no suspiciously dramatic wind gusts rattling the terminal windows. And yet, your flight to Disney World is delayed.

The unexpected culprit might be the giant flaming ball in the sky. Extreme heat can interfere with an airplane’s ability to take off safely. That means a clear, sunny afternoon can cause delays, weight restrictions, and even cancellations, particularly at airports dealing with seriously high temperatures. So, before you assume blue skies guarantee an easy travel day, here’s what Disney travelers need to know.
It’s never a bad time for a bit of Amazon shopping, especially when there are great deals!

Summer isn’t over just yet, and if you still have Disney World plans, you should check out some of our favorite deals on Amazon!
When we’re at Disney World, we love heading to Ale & Compass. This table-service restaurant serves New England-style cuisine at an affordable price, only a 5-minute walk from EPCOT‘s International Gateway at Yacht Club.
Our Ale & Compass breakfast spread
Disney just announced ten brand-new menu items are coming to Ale & Compass today, but we’re massively side-eyeing Disney for this, because we’ve already eaten these “new” foods!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
