Coca-Cola, Caramel, and POPCORN?! We Were VERY Skeptical of Disney’s New Drink, But It’s GOOD.

We’ve got a HOT tip for you, so listen up! Next time you visit Disney Springs, do yourself a favor and grab some food at Chicken Guy! (we’re OBSESSED with all the sauces!). But take your food to-go, then walk across the way to the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar and eat your chicken with a VIEW! Oh, and you should probably grab a Coke to go with your meal, too.

Have you ever dined up here?

If you’re looking for a fun place to eat with a unique rooftop perspective, go to the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar. It’s a seriously underrated little spot! Need even more reasons to give this place a try? How about a NEW menu item?

By Madeleine Zaharchuk Leave a Comment

There are some mornings when no matter how hard we may try, we can’t seem to pull ourselves together. Maybe you slept through your alarm or burned your toast, or maybe you stubbed your toe on your bed. We’ve been there and we know what it feels like to begin your day with a rough start — and so does Disney!

All aboard the hot mess express!

During a recent trip to EPCOT, we noticed that quite a few major rides were having trouble opening. Let’s take a look!

PJ Morton of Maroon 5 Is Writing a NEW Song for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!

By Madeleine Zaharchuk Leave a Comment

You can’t ride “it’s a small world” without hearing that classic theme song, and the Haunted Mansion attraction just wouldn’t be the same without that spooky soundtrack! It may not always be the first thing you think of when a new attraction opens, but music is one of the most important parts of Disney storytelling.

FULL LIST of the CHEAPEST Days To Go to Disney World in 2024

By Madeleine Zaharchuk Leave a Comment

In an ideal world, we would all plan our Disney World vacations around the cheapest, least crowded times of the year, right? After all, it’s a lot easier to conquer all the rides in Magic Kingdom when the wait times are under 60 minutes, and it’s much more enjoyable to eat your Cosmic Ray’s chicken nuggets without a family hovering nearby waiting for an open table.

Crowds? PASS!

While Disney may be considered a fantasy world, we know you can’t live in one all the time, so let’s get real about ticket prices. A trip to Disney World is EXPENSIVE! On top of rising ticket prices, you’ve got a lot of added costs to deal with in the parks and resorts. So to help you cut down on expenses, let’s discuss the CHEAPEST days to go to Disney World in 2024.

WARNING: Figment Is Causing Chaos in EPCOT Again with the NEW Annual Passholder Magnet

By Madeleine Zaharchuk 2 Comments

Disney doesn’t hand out many freebies these days, so when we learned about the new Figment magnet coming to EPCOT, we had a feeling it would be a hot seller. (Can a free item be a hot seller? The jury’s still out, but you know what we mean.) After all, we’ve seen Figment merchandise FLY off the shelves in the past (everyone remember the Figment popcorn bucket drama?).

Who could forget this little guy?

Now, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that there’s a NEW Figment item available in Disney World (and it’s FREE), but the bad news is that only select Disney guests are eligible to pick it up. Do you qualify? Let’s talk about it!

The MEGA-Long Line We Were Not Expecting in Disney World

By Madeleine Zaharchuk 1 Comment

If there’s one Disney World planning tip we can give you, let it be this: expect the unexpected. From random ride closures to sudden downpours, you never know what could happen during your vacation.

Expect the unexpected in Disney World!

While you may expect to see long lines for popular attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Flight of Passage, you may find yourself in a surprisingly long line from time to time. During a recent visit to the parks, we were shocked by the crowds at an unexpected location!

The BIGGEST Skyliner Mistake That Rookies Make in Disney World

By Madeleine Zaharchuk 3 Comments

From the PeopleMover to the monorail, Disney World has some of Florida’s most UNIQUE transportation options! Here’s a fun fact for ya: EPCOT is the only Disney World park you can get to from every type of Disney World transportation — even your own two feet (if you’re staying within walking distance from the park, anyway).

EPCOT

One of our FAVORITE transportation methods is the Disney World Skyliner system. It’s still relatively new, so if you haven’t been to Disney World in a while, allow us to teach you all about the Skyliner.

The BIG Gamble You Take When Visiting Disney World Right Now

By Madeleine Zaharchuk Leave a Comment

There’s been a lot of discourse on the summer crowds in Disney World lately. Will people show up en masse, or will we finally see a deserted Main Street, U.S.A. this June? If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, you’re probably hoping for low crowds and even lower wait times. We certainly are keeping our fingers crossed — no one likes a long line for a cup of Dole Whip!

Cinderella Castle

As we approach hotter temperatures and rising humidity levels, are more people showing up to the parks and resorts? Come with us to see if Memorial Day week brought big crowds to the Disney parks!
