food IS a theme park
Come say it with me: It’s ALDI time!
ALDI
Every week, we find the best ALDI finds and share them for our fellow “bring your own quarter” lovers. Check out our favorite finds for September 17th to 23rd.
UPDATE: Disneyland has confirmed that the Mermaid float in Disney’s Paint the Night Parade experienced a power issue, according to Scott Gustin. While the float was being towed, smoke was seen due to a complication with the brakes. No fire was reported by Disneyland.
On September 10th, there were reports that one of the parade floats at Disneyland was spotted being surrounded by smoke, with reports online saying there was a fire.
Paint the Night
Videos on TikTok have been surfacing of The Little Mermaid float having smoke around it and guests being evacuated from the areas.
Okay, we may or may not be freaking out right now. One of our favorite TV show characters is getting her time to shine, and we’re ready to hop on a plane to experience it ourselves.

We’re massive fans of Bluey, and a United Kingdom theme park just announced that a new ride dedicated to the Heeler family is coming in spring 2026.
We’re going to let you in on a little secret — we know when you should NOT go to Disney World this month.

September has been busy with Halloween in full swing, but this random day is just the start of the crowds. As October rolls into November and December and all the lights and Christmas trees are up around Disney World, more and more people will come to the parks, and we know when the chaos is starting.
Okay, we love a Disney deal, so we know YOU love a Disney deal because we’re all Disney Adults, here.
Disneyland 70th anniversary
A new Disneyland ticket deal is dropping for select guests, and you’re going to want to check your email to see if you qualify.
There are so many spots to eat at Disney Springs, it can get overwhelming knowing where to go. As a Disney Springs local, I never know which spot to try since there are so many great options.
Mole Chicken Nacho Fries
We recently headed to the Daily Poutine to check out a new item, and let’s just say these didn’t disappoint.
We love Disney castles, probably a little too much. We can go on and on about the differences between each one, why the paint job is coming to Cinderella Castle in Disney World is a big deal, and why it’s even called “Cinderella Castle” and not “Cinderella’s Castle.” To say we love castle news is an understatement.
Magic Kingdom
Disney recently released a “We Call It Imagineering” video on their YouTube channel where they talked about different castle designs. What piqued our interest was mentioning the castle for the new Abu Dhabi Disney park and providing more details for the Disney Adventure coming to the Disney Cruise Line.
If you’ve been wanting to snag a Disney World Annual Pass and become an official Passholder, you might want to grab your pass before September 30th.
Disney World Annual Pass
Disney recently announced a deal where you can get a free Disney Gift Card when you purchase a new Annual Pass, and when the promotion was originally announced, there wasn’t an end date. Disney officially confirmed the date when the offer ends, so you’ll want to get your pass soon.
You know you’re a Disney Adult when a new park map makes you excited. Even though we know our way around the parks like the back of our hands, we still like picking up a map from time to time to see if we’ve missed any big changes and keep it for our scrapbooks.
New map!
A new map was recently released at Magic Kingdom, and we’re spilling all the details with you.
There might be nothing more magical than sitting down and having dinner when your favorite princess greets you at the table and chats with you for a minute. You get to eat some great food, all while meeting different characters without ever leaving your table.
Dopey!
We love character dining at Disney World, but one of our favorite restaurants is having some scheduling issues right now that you should know about if you’re planning to visit next month.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
