Don’t Book Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2026 Before You Read This

By Leave a Comment

It may not feel like it, but we ARE halfway to Halloween, believe it or not!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is around the corner!

Before we know it, Disney World will be covered in Halloween decorations, and it’ll be time to start heading into Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — one of the most anticipated events of the year! If you’re thinking of heading to the party this year, you’re likely gearing up to grab tickets when they go on sale for all guests on May 12th (they’re currently on sale for those with Disney World hotel reservations!). Before you hit checkout, however, these are the things we NEED you to know!

REVIEW: This EPCOT Breakfast Is One Of Our Favorites — Is It As Good As We Remember?

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. That’s VERY true over in EPCOT, where you’ve got dozens of restaurants with unique cuisine from all around the world in World Showcase. That’s far from all the restaurants in the park, though, because you’ve also got the spots up at the front of the park.

Time to eat at Garden Grill!

We recently stopped by Garden Grill for breakfast to see if there’s really a big difference (other than the menu offerings and price) between dining here early in the day vs. for lunch and dinner. Is it worth it to save some money dining at this character meal for breakfast and potentially struggle to get a reservation, or are they about the same? Let’s find out!

This Unpopular Disney Springs Bus Rule Could Come Back SOON

By Leave a Comment

Memorial Day is right around the corner (yes, somehow it’s May and Memorial Day Weekend is just a few weeks away — where has the time gone?), and that means crowds could be about to ramp up in Disney World again.

This is especially true since the holiday also falls right around the time when some kids get out of school for the summer, and many families begin their holiday with a Disney trip. With all that in mind, knowing things may be more crowded for that weekend, we just want to make sure we’re all prepared — it’s POSSIBLE, but not guaranteed, that Disney could bring back their new unpopular bus rule in Disney Springs.

This Magic Kingdom Restaurant Is About to CLOSE for Major Changes

By Leave a Comment

You may be tired of hearing the words “major changes,” “closures,” and “Disney World” all in the same sentence, but we’re here, yet again, to warn you that in just ONE week, a massive change is going to take place in Magic Kingdom that you need to know about!

The Diamond Horseshoe

Disney World’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event is set to begin on May 26th and run through September 8th, and as part of the event, numerous additions are coming to the four theme parks. Over in Magic Kingdom, there’s one restaurant that’s about to close to make room for a summer experience, which means this will be your last week to dine here for quite some time!

Haunted Mansion Is FINALLY Open in Magic Kingdom After Sudden Closure

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that multiple areas of Magic Kingdom are under construction right now.

Yikes!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad JUST reopened after a 16-month-long refurbishment, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopened earlier this year, but construction walls are still up around the soon-to-be Villains Land and Piston Peak. As if that wasn’t enough, a few weeks ago, a massive scrim went up around Haunted Mansion, most likely to work on an exterior refurbishment for the ride, and while it’s not the prettiest, it didn’t affect the inner workings of the ride. That was…until two days ago.

Disney Made 3 MAJOR Announcements This Week, Including Opening Dates!

By Leave a Comment

WHEW! It’s been a BIG week in Disney World when it comes to news, that’s for sure!

Not So Scary Snacks!

Fortunately, this week’s announcements help us plan for our future trips, instead of having announcements that affect us in the next week (those are much harder to plan for, but they DO happen!). No, we didn’t get any major, massive updates on the new additions coming to the parks, like Villains Land, Piston Peak, or Monsters, Inc. (though we did hear about some new permits for that last one), but if you’re planning a trip for the later part of this year, trust us when we say that these announcements will be a BIG help when it comes to planning!

4 Details Hiding in the Concept Art for Disney World’s Newest Hotel, Lakeshore Lodge

By Leave a Comment

We’re still about a year away from the opening of Disney World’s newest hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, as it’s expected to open in summer 2027, but we recently got invited to a media event that gave us a NEW look at the hotel, thanks to concept art and a boat tour around the construction site.

Lakeshore Lodge

We’ve seen firsthand how much a project can change from what concept art originally shows, so don’t get us wrong, we’re not expecting EVERYTHING in here to make it to the final product, but it does give us an idea of what Disney’s setting its sights on. Based on what we’re seeing, this hotel may be the pinnacle of relaxation, but there are a few things we’re still left a little confused by.

Disney World has just begun its V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days in the parks, and that means there are TONS of perks out there for Annual Passholders to experience, but only from now through July 31st.

Disney World Annual Pass
