food IS a theme park
I LOVE Disney souvenirs, but the prices for them can be pretty hefty. I like to find the best deals where I can still be the Disney Adult I am without breaking the bank.
Scrunchie!
We found seven items, all under $10, that you can also get in two days. Yay for Amazon Prime shipping!
Free? Did we hear the word free? Believe it or not, it IS possible to get certain things in Disney World for free, but you’ve gotta know how.
The character waffle meal!
And no, we don’t mean by complaining to Cast Members and getting things for free, that’s not how we roll. Dining in Disney World is sometimes one of the most expensive parts of a trip, so if you know you’ll be traveling with kids, it’ll be a BIG DEAL when we tell you that there’s a way your kiddos can eat for FREE in Disney World in 2026!
Happy 2026! Can you believe we’re already here? We feel like 2025 just began!
Happy New Year from Disney World!
The holiday season is one of Disney World’s most popular times of year, beginning with holiday offerings like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, as well as all the seasonal treats and events that you can experience, but New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are also incredibly popular. Who doesn’t want to spend the first day of the new year in Disney World? We stopped into Magic Kingdom to see just how many people had the same idea, and let’s just say, we weren’t expecting this.
Who doesn’t love saving money on Disney? One of my favorite ways to do this is by shopping at Target!
Target
If you love Disney, there’s a very good chance you’ve wandered into Target “just to look” and walked out with a cart full of Mickey merchandise. Target has become one of the best places for Disney fans to score everything from toys and clothes to trip essentials, and often for less than you’d pay elsewhere. And if you’re planning a Disney trip (or just love Disney year-round), there are some serious perks you’ll want to take advantage of at Target.
Disney World value resorts are still some of the most popular places to stay on property.

They’re affordable by Disney standards, they keep you inside the Disney bubble, and they work especially well for families who plan to spend most of their time in the parks. That said, prices have gone up, expectations have changed, and some longtime perks never came back. Here are four things we think Disney World’s cheapest hotels desperately need moving forward.
So many things are opening, reopening, closing, and just overall CHANGING in Disney World for 2026 – so I guess it’s TIME for US to give you an UPDATED list of tips, tricks, and recommendations for your UPCOMING theme park adventures in the new year!

There was a lot happening in the parks yesterday for New Year’s Eve, but something totally shocking was announced for Disney Springs out of the blue as well.
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Disney Springs is home to many amazing restaurants and stores, most of them independently owned instead of being owned by Disney. So, sometimes these stores make choices that Disney has no say in, and that’s exactly what’s happening here. Yesterday, it was announced that EVERY Sprinkles cupcake location ANYWHERE would be closed for good on January 1st, and we’ve just confirmed that’s true in Disney Springs.
Change is hitting the Disneyland Resort like a tidal wave in 2026. In fact, some hotel perks are getting adjustments!
Disneyland
Right now, most of the talk surrounding the Disneyland Resort has to do with the multiple expansion projects in progress. However, a pair of hotel perks are about to change this January… and we’re betting most guests won’t be too thrilled.
Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, Disney Destiny, officially set sail on November 20th, and here is where you can find the best alcoholic drink deal we’ve seen for just $25!
Cask & Cannon
The Destiny is offering 4- and 5-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, throughout her inaugural season. But on board, there is no place you’ll feel more like a pirate than at Cask & Cannon. Cask & Cannon is a pirate-themed lounge on the Disney Destiny, and while on board, we found the best Disney drink deal.
