food IS a theme park
When visiting Disney theme parks, there are many rules – – both official and unofficial – – that guests have to follow.
Disney Springs transportation rules
That’s especially true this summer, as Disney is enforcing some new (and old) rules at both Disney World and Disneyland.
LEVEL99 opens in Disney Springs tomorrow, June 29th, and we couldn’t be more stoked that the general public will get to experience this high-energy, epic new attraction so soon!
LEVEL99 opens SOON!
We got a chance to explore the attraction a few days ago before its official opening and made it our mission to try out as many of the 63 games as we possibly could (and we got close!). Now that we feel we have a good understanding of the attraction and what it offers, we’ve put together a list of the five things we wish we had known before stepping inside for the first time, so you know them ahead of your trip!
Disney Adults are very good at Disney World. Maybe too good. We know where the good bathrooms are. We know when to mobile order. We know which benches have the best afternoon shade. We know that a Lightning Lane window can turn an otherwise normal person into a tactical commando with a phone battery problem. But Dollywood? Dollywood is a different creature.
Welcome to Dollywood!
It’s still a theme park, yes. There are coasters, shows, snacks, shops, crowds, strollers, and at least one food item you will think about during a random Tuesday staff meeting six months later. But this is not Disney World with more banjos. Dollywood has its own rhythm, its own rules, and its own little Smoky Mountain personality quirks. So, if you’re a Disney Adult heading to Pigeon Forge, here are the rules you’re probably going to break on your first visit.
Disney World is constantly changing and sometimes it can be hard to keep up!

We’re here to monitor those changes, so you’re not surprised on your next Disney World vacation! Here are seven changes coming to Disney World this July!
There are few more nightmarish scenarios for a Disney World vacation than getting sick.
Magic Kingdom First Aid Center
However, if you find yourself in this spot, you have to take care of yourself, even if it means sacrificing some of your vacation time. Trust us, it’s not worth the risk.
We recently covered one of the most terrifying roller coasters yet, the Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas near Dallas, Texas. The roller coaster is going to set SIX world records for roller coasters, including a 309-foot maximum elevation and a descent that will send guests 87 mph. When it opens, it’ll be the world’s longest, tallest, and fastest coaster ever!

Tormenta Rampaging Run was set to open on Friday, June 26th, to commemorate Six Flags Over Texas’ 65th anniversary, but the opening has been postponed, with no new opening date in sight!
BoxLunch just quietly dropped five new Loungefly styles, and if you’re the kind of person who checks the site regularly, you already know how fast these tend to disappear.
We love Loungefly!
Whether you’re prepping for a park trip, hunting for a gift, or just treating yourself after a long week, this batch covers a surprisingly wide range of fandoms. Here’s a look at what’s new and why each one is worth a second glance.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.
Disney dropped a TON of news this week, especially around what we can expect from the holiday season in both Disneyland Resort and Disney World, but we also got some much-needed updates on a few projects happening inside the parks.

We finally know when a long-closed attraction will reopen in Magic Kingdom, an EPCOT store is getting ready to temporarily close, and we’re in our final week before Carousel of Progress closes for its long refurbishment. If you’re heading into the parks soon, a lot is going on that you need to know about ahead of time, so we’re here to catch you up!
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is right around the corner with so many fun food, drink, entertainment, and merchandise options!

And if you’re going to one of the four EPCOT festivals this year, you’ll need to pack some things that will help you along the way. We found eight items that you need for your next EPCOT festival trip!
