Disney World’s Halloween Party dates have been revealed, Food and Wine dates are here too, more of a Halloween Horror Nights fan? Guess what, we’ve got those dates too! And we’ve spent a wonderful week in California celebrating the 70th anniversary of the original Disney park, Disneyland.
There are two kinds of people in the world: 1) those who think planning outfits for vacation is half the fun of going on vacation, and 2) those who absolutely dread packing. I’m in the first group — you tell me where we’re going and I’m already brainstorming outfits for every day of the trip. But sometimes, cute outfits come at a cost…especially in Disney World. Oh, you thought it would be fun to wear a flowy sundress to Magic Kingdom? Good luck riding TRON Lightcycle / Run.

I write about Disney World for a living, so you would think I’d know by now what NOT to wear to Disney World. But sometimes, I can’t help but sacrifice comfort for fashion. I need a chance to wear all my cute clothing, after all! After my recent experience diving into unforgiving the world of bodysuits, though, I have a warning for you.
Menu alert! If there’s one thing we LOVE, it’s trying all the new (and returning) menu additions around Disney World. Whether Disney is trying something new — like an 🐙OCTOPUS Cocktail🐙 — or bringing back an old menu item, there’s never a dull moment in the world of Disney dining.

OK, we’re about to age ourselves with this reference, but hear us out. Remember the Tamagotchi? That game was weirdly relaxing, right? There’s something about taking care of a tiny digital pet that is instantly comforting. We miss it! But fear not, old friends. Disney cooked up something new, and even if it’s technically a toy, you’ll find us playing with it, too.
Bitzee

When most people go to Disney World, they probably aren’t expecting fine dining, rare cuts of meat, or expensive wines. But Disney World serves more than theme park cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets (though, don’t get us wrong, we still love a corn dog nugg every once in a while).
