NEW Hotel Added to Disney World Vacation Packages

By Leave a Comment

A LOT goes into planning a Disney World vacation, from figuring out your budget, to figuring out how long you’re going to stay, deciding what tickets you need, and more. Part of that planning will also involve choosing a hotel for your vacation stay.

Why Fans Are Ditching the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

By Leave a Comment

The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is one of those Disney World events that used to feel like a capital-E Event. You planned around it. You booked around it. You studied menus like you were preparing for a tiny, delicious final exam. You showed up hungry, hydrated, and prepared to make several questionable decisions involving cheese, wine, and whatever Disney had decided to put in a tiny paper tray that year.

All the food and drinks really add up

But lately? Some longtime fans are saying the same thing: Food & Wine just doesn’t feel as special as it used to.

MAJOR Virtual Queue Change Coming to Disney World

By Leave a Comment

This past week was a big one in Disney World, with SEVEN different attractions opening (or officially opening) on May 26th. Many of them are in celebration of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, but others are planning to be around long after the event ends on September 8th.

Bluey’s Wild World

One of the biggest new additions has been Bluey’s Wild World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Here, families can play games with Bluey and Bingo, enjoy a dance party, see some animals native to Australia at Jumping Junction, and so much more. Disney anticipated it would be incredibly popular, so starting on opening day, a Virtual Queue was put into place. However, now it’s been confirmed by Disney themselves that the Virtual Queue will soon be NO MORE!

Even a $743 Hotel Room Can’t Prevent This Frustrating Disney World Hotel Problem

By Leave a Comment

Hotel stays have been part of Disney World from the very beginning. The Contemporary and the Polynesian opened with the rest of the resort on October 1st, 1971. In the last 50+ years, Disney has opened nearly 30 hotels on property in 3 resort categories – Deluxe, Moderate, and Value.

However, not every Disney World experience can be perfect. In fact, we’ve run into some issues even at Walt Disney World’s most exquisite resorts.

By Leave a Comment

Spirit Airlines completely shutting down was not on our bingo cards for 2026, but alas, here we are, and we’ve been here for about a month now.

The lack of flights has certainly been affecting travelers all over the United States, but the good news? Other airlines are stepping in to fill in the gaps, slowly but surely. If you’re someone who often flies in and out of Tampa International Airport and have been missing some of those Spirit flights, you’re in for some great news — by July, Spirit’s original routes will have all been taken up by other airlines!

This Is the Disney Home Decor Find of the Century

By Leave a Comment

You know how some Disney kitchen items are cute, but not exactly practical? The kind of thing you buy with the best intentions, and then it sits on a shelf looking adorable while your actual salt lives in a plastic tub from 2019? Well, these are different.

Just some of the available Disney kitchen tools.

BoxLunch has a whole lineup of Disney Village Spice Jar Sets, and they are basically tiny themed neighborhoods for your paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, and whatever spice you bought for one recipe in 2021 and still refuse to throw away because “it might come up again.” These sets are decorative, functional, collectible, and dangerously giftable. If Disney ever decides to build a spice-based land in EPCOT, we are already packed.
