food IS a theme park
Believe it or not, Halloween 2026 is JUST around the corner, and Amazon already has some frightfully fun deals.

Whether you’re celebrating at home or making your way to Disney World for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, these ghoulish goodies are must-haves for spooky season.
Disney World is well known for its restaurants. Across the resort’s theme parks and hotels, there are countless eateries that many rightfully adore. However, what a lot of those guests don’t know is that some of the best restaurants on property are located at hotels NOT owned by Disney: The Swan & Dolphin!

The iconic Michael Graves-designed resorts (which are located near EPCOT on Disney property but not owned by Disney) are home to over 20 restaurants and lounges that offer a lot of unique items where there’s something for everyone! However, even the most seasoned visitors may be skipping over one of the best bars at the resorts!
Just want to go to Disneyland for a few hours? Well, we have the perfect ticket for you!
Disneyland
Disneyland Resort just announced a new ticket type that is perfect for those who are just jumping in for the evening. Whether you want to watch nighttime spectaculars or just want to ride a few attractions with the sun down, this new ticket can provide more options for park-goers.
Summer time is arguably one of the best times of the year to visit Disney World’s two water parks — Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
Typhoon Lagoon
This is only the second summer in recent Disney World history where both water parks have been open at the same time. In years past, only one has been open while the other underwent refurbishment, potentially due in part to a lack of demand. Now, however, thanks to the hot weather and Disney World hotel perk that gets guests free admission to one of the water parks on their check-in day, the water parks have been BUSY. Summer does have to come to an end at some point, though, and Disney is already preparing, as they’ve just announced when Typhoon Lagoon will close for the season.
Who’s excited for the Halloween season in Disney World? Raise those hands!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the major highlights of the season, running on select dates in August, September, and October. It’s rife with exclusive entertainment and fun offerings, but it’s also POPULAR, and some dates are sold out for the 2026 event!
Dollywood is basically the Disney World of Tennessee. There are rides, there is food, there are themed hotels — what more could you ask for?
Showstreet!
But with this also comes the crowds, which means there will be a lot of waiting in lines and a lengthy amount of time to get back to your resort after a long day. However, if you’re staying at either the HeartSong Lodge & Resort or DreamMore Resort & Spa, you’re in for a couple of perks that could make those issues disappear!
LEVEL99 has officially opened at Disney Springs, and we just know it’s about to be one of the hottest spots of the summer.
LEVEL99 is here!
This two-story playground has over 60 games to play, ranging from physical challenges to mental puzzles and everything in between. The best part is that it’s all indoors, so you’ll be able to enjoy AC while it’s blazing hot outside. While you can walk up to this spot and see if there’s availability, it’s not what we recommend for one VERY specific reason.
Universal just made a massive change that could impact how you watch TV.
Universal Orlando
According to Deadline, Comcast is planning to formally separate the media businesses that include NBCUniversal and Sky from its technology business and create two separate companies. This is set to be completed in a year.
Walt Disney once said, “For anything to have progress, change is required,” and it is especially true within Disney Parks. We’ve seen so many changes throughout the years, from entire lands being closed or opened, rides getting an entire makeover, and even seeing beloved characters like Mickey get a little refresh.
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT is one of those parks that has had massive changes throughout the years, and to be honest, we still crave some of the EPCOT before it changed. While some changes were turned into other parts, some were just completely left alone and abandoned. Some of the spaces do have something inside, but just aren’t like their previous versions.
We’re anxiously awaiting any news about one of our favorite newer Disney World traditions!
Disney Springs
From the classic EPCOT Festivals to the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic, you all know that we LOVE a Disney food festival! Which is exactly why we’re so concerned about the radio silence on one of Disney’s newer food events, which had already kicked off by July 1st in previous years…
