food IS a theme park
We are always on the lookout for the best offers and deals so that your magical Orlando theme park vacation can be as cheap as possible!
Universal
So, if you’re planning a trip to Universal this summer, we just found an AMAZING deal that you need to know about.
Whew! It’s been quite the busy week in Disney World, but we can say with certainty that a lot of them are really good updates that we love to see!
Typhoon Lagoon
The resort’s second water park has officially reopened to guests for the summer, and we’re thrilled that not one, but TWO locations opened earlier than originally scheduled, so guests can enjoy both of their offerings. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though, so let’s dive into ALL the construction changes that happened this week, and what you’ll want to watch out for on your vacation.
There’s a LOT coming to Disney World this summer, but something we’re really looking forward to experiencing in Disney Springs is none other than LEVEL99.
LEVEL99
Level99 in Disney Springs will feature 63 life-sized physical and mental games and challenges that create “real-world, challenge-based, social entertainment” for adults. There are currently multiple locations all around the United States, but this one will be the largest to date. We were so thrilled to be invited to the location in Tysons, Virginia (right around the D.C. area!) to check out what will soon be available in Orlando, and while we had a complete blast, there was one thing that surprised us specifically that you NEED to know about!
Dry airplane air can absolutely wreck your throat before your vacation even starts.
HOMDIS Mini Humidifier
Add in long park days, Florida heat, hotel air conditioning, and very little downtime, and suddenly you’re waking up feeling like you swallowed sandpaper. That’s exactly why more travelers are looking for small comfort items that make hotel stays a little easier. Some gadgets feel unnecessary after one trip, but others quietly become permanent carry-on essentials. After testing the HOMDIS Mini Humidifier during a Disney trip, I finally understand why people keep recommending these tiny portable humidifiers online.
You need to take advantage of these Disney deals before they go away!

Amazon has a bunch of limited-time sales on Disney items right now, and you won’t want to miss out on them. From Disney World essentials to additions to the Disney outfit, there are lots of good things to grab here!
Some changes have been made at EPCOT’s most popular attraction, and it’s made the experience a lot less…chaotic!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of, if not THE most popular attraction at EPCOT. If you’ve ever ridden it, you’ve gotten to experience the thrills of the roller coaster and the amazing immersiveness of the queue line. However, you’ve probably also run into an issue that happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival is happening right now and will continue through June 1st. There are SO many delicious eats to grab that are unique to the festival, but we feel one of them is REALLY underrated.
DOLE Whip Peach
Over at Swirled Showcase, you’ll find multiple sweet treats to help you beat the heat on a hot day. They’re all quite solid and great choices, but there’s one Dole Whip flavor that has FINALLY made its way to Disney World, and yet, we feel like NO ONE is talking about it. Peach Dole Whip is finally in Disney World after YEARS of only being in Disneyland, and we need everyone to get VERY excited about it!
If you’re headed to Disney World, sometimes dining at Disney World can get busy – reservations could be gone right when they open at 6 AM! Or if you have a big group, then things can get pricey fast.
Cozze E Vongole
As a former Disney Cast Member, I know that navigating dining off property can be just as overwhelming. There are so many great options! Our team of former CMs compiled the five best restaurants within five miles of Disney World that are just as good as Disney restaurants. These Cast Member-approved spots have food just as great as Disney, and sometimes, we even prefer them!
When it comes to rides, a case can be made that Hollywood Studios might currently be the most popular park at Walt Disney World, thanks to a mixture of classic E-Tickets, modern marvels, and IP-based extravaganzas, with more on the way in the coming years.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
However, not every ride at the park is created equal, and if you find yourself strapped for time at Hollywood Studios, there are certain rides you can skip and others you can ride instead.
We’re a little over a week away from May 26th, the official opening date of Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Yes, we’re freaking out!

As we get closer and closer to the ride’s opening, Disney has been dropping TONS of massive announcements and first looks to get us ready. If you missed any announcements, you’ve come to the right place, because we’re recapping everything that Disney has shared about the new attraction!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
