By 1 Comment

It’s no secret that MagicBands have become an integral part of Disney World vacations over the last decade+. They can serve as room keys, payment methods, entry tickets, be used to check-in for Lightning Lanes, connect with PhotoPass, and react to select Disney theme park attractions with “lighting effects and gesture recognition”, and they’re available in a slew of cool designs!

However, take it from me, there are some things you NEED to know before picking up your bands for your next Disney World trip!

CONFIRMED: 3 Huge Roller Coaster Changes Coming to Disney World

By 4 Comments

While roller coasters might not be the first type of ride that comes to mind when one thinks of Walt Disney World, especially compared to comeptitors like Universal Orlando, the truth is that the “Most Magical Place on Earth” has been a coaster hub since Space Mountain first opened 50 years ago, with major rides like Expedition Everest and Gaurdians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind being some of the resort’s most popular attractions.

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that Disney World’s hotels are loaded with dining options, from quick service eateries and food courts to award-winning table service restaurants. However, the best all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurant at a Disney hotel may be hiding a bit under the radar.

Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding

Sebastian’s Bistro, which Disney calls a place where guests can transport their “taste buds to ‘island time’ with delightful family-style dishes infused with rich Latin and Caribbean flavors”, is located at the Moderate Tier Caribbean Beach Resort.

5 Things I Learned the Hard Way After Spending $6,000 on a Disney Cruise

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that a voyage on a Disney Cruise is pretty expensive, but the ship’s amenities as well as Disney’s private islands make up for that… as long as you know what you’re getting into! 

Disney Magic

We averaged out the costs for a family of three (two adults, 10 year-old child) for a Disney Caribbean cruise from July 20th – 24th, 2026 (a Monday – Friday),and the costs were certainly nothing to sneeze at. The five-night cruise for three would cost $5,410 for an Inside room, $5,690 for an Oceanview room, $6,082 for a Verandah room, and $9,611 for a Concierge level room.

Dress Code Revealed for NEW Disney World Restaurant

By Leave a Comment

March 19th is set to see the debut of a new Tea Room Experience — located inside the Grand Floridian’s newly renamed Garden View Lounge — after just about 6 years missing since the previous versions disappeared from Walt Disney World, and this long-awaited experience is bringing a new dress code with it!

Garden View Lounge

Afternoon tea has been a part of the Grand Floridian for decades, with both an adult-oriented afternoon tea party and the “Perfectly Princess Tea Party” for younger children and their parents being hugely popular with guests, often selling out months in advance.

However, the parties shut down due to the COVID pandemic, along with the rest of Disney World, in March of 2020. However, when the Grand Floridian reopened that September, the tea parties were nowhere to be found… until now.
