food IS a theme park
We know it’s May, but it’s already time to start thinking about Halloween! Why? Because Disney says so!
Halloween decorations 2023
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are now on sale for the general public, and that means you can start planning your trip to experience all that spooky season has to offer! The event will kick off on August 15th, and we’ve got everything you need to know before you purchase those tickets.
EVERYONE REMAIN CALM! It’s happening — Epic Universe is officially OPEN to the public!
Epic Universe
We’ve been spending as much time here as we possibly can, making sure we know all the ins and outs of this park so you’re prepared ahead of your first visit. And, of course, we’re BACK on the park’s first day of regular operation to see just how everything is going. So, let’s check it out!
We’ve been talking about this for YEARS, but the day has finally come. Universal Orlando’s newest park, Epic Universe, has opened its gates and welcomed guests for its grand opening.
Epic Universe
Epic Universe was previously in technical rehearsal, but today is the first official day. Because technical rehearsals were available for everyone, what do opening day crowds look like in the park? Technical rehearsals were at a limited capacity, but let’s take a look at Epic Universe on opening day.
THE DAY IS HERE!
Epic Universe
Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest park, is officially open to the public, and to celebrate, they had a grand opening ceremony. We’re not trying to be dramatic when we say this ceremony was EPIC (now that the park is open, get ready for ALL the epic puns).
We know a lot of folks want to vacation in Disney World or at Universal Orlando (to see Epic Universe, of course), but cruising is also a popular travel activity for a lot of folks.
Disney Wish
Whether you’re planning a Disney Cruise or a cruise with another company, though, there are some new costs you’ll need to be aware of. We previously told you about a proposed Hawaii tax that could mean your cruise costs more. According to Fox News, Mexico is getting ready to add a tax for all cruisers that will go into effect on July 1st.
One of the BEST pieces of Universal Orlando advice I ever got was to get the refillable soda mug.
Universal
Unlimited soda refills? Coca-Cola Freestyle machines? Delicious unique beverages? Seriously, the perks of Universal’s system are SO MUCH BETTER than Disney’s. But if you’ve never tried the refillable mugs at either resort, we’re breaking down the differences between Disney World’s refillable mug options and Universal Orlando’s.
Ok, but seriously, this might be our favorite Loungefly yet!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
A brand-new Loungefly featuring your favorite rat from Dinsey Pixar’s Ratatouille just released online — and EVERYONE is talking about it! You need to take a look at it, the bag even has a unique one-of-a-kind feature.
Okay, if Zootopia is one of your favorite Disney movies, this is a great time to be alive because Zootopia is getting a lot of love right now.

A new Zootopia-themed land opened in Shanghai Disney Resort last year, with a REALLY cool new ride. Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Disney World is getting a new Zootopia show, Zootopia Better Zoogether! which is expected to open later this year. AND…even better, Zootopia 2 is set to arrive in theaters in November. It’s Zootopia fever, y’all! Well, we’ve got some exciting news about the movie sequel: Disney just dropped the first teaser trailer for it today.
We love our Disney merchandise, but don’t always love the price tag that comes with it. That’s why we search and search for the best pieces of merch so you can get the Disney magic on a budget.
Sleeping Beauty
Target released two Disney Princess items, and little ones are going to be obsessed with them (and we adults are, too!).
