food IS a theme park
Disney World summers are NO JOKE! It can feel like you’re sweating at the rate of a Dole Whip that’s actively sitting on the sun while also touching at least 1,500 people all at once.
Disney Cooling Towels
We love going to Disney any chance we get, but it’s no secret that the summer can be a physically challenging time. To help keep you cool, you might be tempted to buy a Cooling Towel in Disney World, but we’re about to share a secret that will stop you in your tracks.
We know we say it a lot, but celebrities are Disney adults, too. They might not be like us in many ways, but they still get giggly when they meet Mickey, they obsess over their Disney collections (John Stamos, we’re looking at you), and they frequent La Cava del Tequila so much that they get their own table and/or drink.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Well, one celebrity recently visited Disney World for her birthday, and she was experiencing pure happiness, especially after riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The celebrity? Emmy-award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph (who we LOVE on Abbott Elementary).
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
TRON Lightcycle/Run
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. So how did Disney’s wait times hold up through the end of 2025 and New Year’s Eve?
As Santa Claus said in Elf, “It’s time to start preparations for NEXT Christmas!”
Magic Kingdom
Maybe you’re still in the holiday spirit, or maybe you’re over Christmas, but regardless, you can’t deny these amazing prices for Christmas decor on Amazon! Might as well get them now at a huge discount, and stock up for Christmas 2026, am I right?!
The holidays have just ended, which means a lot of us are looking at our bank accounts, going “YIKES,” and doing all we can to rebuild our savings over the next few months. We were doing just that…and then we saw this.
Care for any tea?
Now, listen, we talk about merchandise all the time here, and we get ourselves into LOTS of trouble with our own wallets because Disney merchandise is, most of the time, absolutely adorable, and we can’t resist. We wanted to save money, we TOLD ourselves we were going to, and then this new Alice in Wonderland Loungefly bag completely destroyed that, because…well, just LOOK AT IT!
Disney fans are going to be booking it to Disney Springs this weekend, and for good reason!
Disney Springs!
Disney Parks and Kendra Scott took to Instagram to tease their newest collection set to come to Disney Springs on January 4th. Not only is a new stunning Kendra Scott collection dropping, but there will be a few other exclusive surprises happening during the weekend — let’s take a look!
It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets on The Muppet Show tonight! Or, should we say coming soon?!

Disney just dropped the first official teaser trailer for the brand-new version of The Muppet Show that will be released on February 4th, 2026. This 30-second teaser might not have shown too much, but it’s enough to get any fan of The Muppets excited — WHICH WE ARE!
There are a few more hot-button issues right now than artificial intelligence (AI). AI is at the center of debates in fields ranging from politics and the veracity of news to sports and entertainment. Recently, Disney announced a game-changing business move that is going to make them a major player in the space for years to come.

In December 2025, Disney announced a massive deal with artificial intelligence juggernaut OpenAI that saw Disney acquire a stake in the company for a $1 billion investment. The two companies also signed a licensing deal that will allow users of OpenAI’s video creation platform Sora to create clips using iconic characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars franchises in the form of “fan-inspired Sora short form videos” into which viewers can also insert themselves on Disney+.
It’s a good day, friends! Well, maybe not for our wallets, but anytime new Owalas are released online, we can’t help but check them out!

Owalas are some of our favorite water bottles to use in Disney World, as well as in our everyday lives. They’re super durable, come in lots of cute colors and designs, and have no problem keeping our drinks hot or cold all day. If you’re a big fan of the FreeSip style, which is thinner at the bottom than it is at the top, or the regular style, we’ve got great news for you — there are tons of new colors at Target right now!
Something we took for granted will soon be coming to an end. Now, we’ve already had to say goodbye to free checked bags on Southwest Airlines, but soon, the entire way you buy seats and board the plane is also going to change.
Flying with Southwest
Southwest has made a series of policy changes with its seating, but the biggest changes will begin on January 27th. We’re going to break those new seating rules down so you can make sense of them.
