food IS a theme park
December is one of the busiest months in Disney World, and that means you might want to find room in the budget for Lightning Lanes!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Lightning Lane
If park attendance is poppin’, lines for rides are likely going to be long, and paying extra for Lightning Lanes could be worth it to skip those waits. But how much will Lightning Lanes cost in December? Prices aren’t out yet, but we’re using past data to predict how much you’ll spend.
It’s the holiday season, which means we usually get all kinds of new merchandise dropping at The Disney Store — and not just holiday merchandise — but all kinds of souvenirs that would also make great gifts.
New ears alert!
Well, we think a new pair of ears is a great gift, especially if you have a Disney World trip coming up soon, so if you’re looking to add to your collection, seven new pairs just dropped online.
Okay, Disney World fans, deep breath. We need to talk about Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Disney just set a new record price for the most expensive line-skipping option at Disney World.
Winnie the Pooh Lightning Lane
Over Thanksgiving week, Lightning Lane Premier Pass at Magic Kingdom has officially hit its highest price yet at nearly $500 per person. Here’s the thing, though: the high prices haven’t stopped people from buying it. Magic Kingdom Premier Pass has already sold out on multiple dates this week, so if you were hoping to grab one last minute, you may be out of luck. And with Thanksgiving week coming up (a.k.a. one of the busiest times of the entire year), we wouldn’t be surprised to see more dates disappear.
Disney’s newest stars aren’t coming from Hollywood. They’re coming straight from YouTube.

Since June, Disney has signed Gracie’s Corner, Dhar Mann, Like Nastya, and, just this month, Dude Perfect, the trick-shot crew that once raced through all 12 Disney parks around the world in under 75 hours. One deal is a fun headline. Four major deals in four months is a game plan. So what is Disney really after? Let’s break it down.
Okay, I may or may not be crying because Disney World has officially started decorating for the Christmas holidays and the magic is BACK!
Holiday decorations are here!
I know, I know, it comes back every year, but that doesn’t mean it’s not as magical every single time we see it. Our team looks forward to seeing the Christmas and holiday decorations every year, and the first decorations always appear at Magic Kingdom. Get ready to feel the Christmas spirit because it is HERE!
The Caribbean Beach Resort is arguably one of the most historically important resorts on Disney World property, as the hotel was the VERY first Moderate Tier Resort when it opened back in 1988.
Caribbean Beach Resort
It’s also one of the most uniquely laid out resorts on property, with massive, sprawling grounds made up of sets of interconnected building villages named after countries in the Caribbean. That can make it a tough task to determine which area, building, and room is best to request for guests. However, fear not, we recently walked the entire Caribbean Beach Resort and found the best rooms for each kind of guest!
Jingle all the way to the jungle, because the holidays are officially landing at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar! Yes, you heard that right! The Disney Springs hot spot is once again swapping its usual adventure-ready vibes for a little extra holiday cheer, and we’ve got your first look at all the festive provisions.
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
From November 10th, 2026, through January 11th, 2027, you can swing by for a holiday-inspired menu and seasonal decor that turns this hangar into a winter wonderland (with just a touch of Indiana Jones flair, of course). Grab your fedora and a few of your favorite fellow adventurers, because we’re about to take a look at everything on the menu!
Halloween is now just a memory, and the holiday season has officially arrived. If you’re ready to start thinking about holiday decor and holiday souvenirs, as well as some fun holiday gifts, well, your time has arrived.
So cute!
That’s because The Disney Store has just dropped a TON of new holiday items online, and you’re going to want to grab them all before they’re gone.
Disney World’s NEWEST park was built on the boldest, most unusual bet Disney’s ever made…. An entire theme park with no roller coasters, no fireworks, and one key goal in mind: to celebrate the magic of nature. But did this park succeed? Or did it just leave guests in a constant state of confusion?
Animal Kingdom
Today, we’re taking a journey through the HISTORY of Disney’s Animal Kingdom (to find out what on EARTH happened to it).
Well, if you had plans to head down to the bayou on your upcoming Disney World trip, you’re going to have to wait a bit longer. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now closed for refurbishment at Magic Kingdom.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We know, we know. This one has been a must-do since it opened, and the Lightning Lane and standby lines have been among the longest in the park. The good news is that a refurbishment means the ride will be in tip-top shape when it returns, with no more sad-looking critters or temperamental drop mechanics. The bad news is that you’ll have to wait over a month to ride this attraction once again.
