food IS a theme park
Between hurricanes, a worldwide pandemic, and typhoons, Disney is no stranger to last-minute emergency closings.

The powerful Typhoon Chanthu prompted a Disney park to close in anticipation of heavy rain and wind.
Disney Genie+ is a new paid service coming soon to Disney World and Disneyland. There’s a lot to unpack with this new Fastpass+ replacement, and we still have a lot of questions about how everything will work!
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
One thing we do know is that guests who want to use the Lightning Lane will have to pay for select attractions separately, like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, by making Individual Attraction Selections. If you’ve been to Disneyland Paris recently, you might notice some similarities in the new Individual Attraction Selection process — let’s break it down!
August marks that transition point in the year where everyone heads back to school, summer is over, and we get back into a routine. In Walt Disney World, August was a busy month! We learned a TON of new information (some good, some bad), and got one step closer to the big 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Autumn in Walt Disney World
While we prepare for what’s to come, let’s look back at some of the biggest things we found out about Walt Disney World in August.
We’re well into the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, and we’ve tried a LOT of sweet and savory treats in EPCOT. But, what if you’re hoping to take some of the delicious fun home and make your very own World Showcase snacks?!
It’s a good day to be in the American Adventure Pavilion
While we were in the American Adventure Pavilion over in the middle of the World Showcase, we noticed an interesting menu item that we’d have to work for in order to eat!
Anyone out there LOVE getting a good deal and saving lots of money on Disney items? Yes? We thought you might!
Have you had these items on your wish list for a while?
Well, if you’ve had your eye on a new pair of Crocs, you adore that tropical Disney collection, you’ve been hoping to snag some collectible keys, or you’re just doing some early holiday shopping — now’s your chance to SAVE BIG on some great Disney collectibles.
For many people, Disney’s fireworks shows are an essential part of their vacation. Sure, you can stake out a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom and watch Happily Ever After front and center, but there are several other places you can see the fireworks (with WAY fewer people around)!
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom
You may be familiar with some of our favorite fireworks viewing locations, like the Polynesian beach or Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but did you know that you can also see the fireworks from a boat?
Whoever decided that Christmas was “the most wonderful time of the year” CLEARLY forgot about Halloween — especially Halloween at Walt Disney World! Don’t those festive fall decorations make you smile?
Happy Halloween!
Now that kids are starting to go back to school and summer is nearing its end, we’re getting ready for SPOOKY season! That means it’s time for some some haunted decorations, a new Halloween costume (it’s never too early to start planning!), and perhaps even a new fall wardrobe. One absolutely adorable Disney fall item is now available, but if you want to snag it you’ll need one important thing…patience.
Have you ever dreamt of being covered from head to toe in your favorite Disney snacks? Just us? Well, either way, it looks like Disney gave us a little teaser for some new merchandise that looks (and SMELLS) like a classic salty snack!
Let’s get a snack!
You may remember the recent (scented) Loungefly Popcorn backpack that debuted in Walt Disney World or the fun new Popcorn Crocs, but now we’re back to show you TWO more items to add to your collection!
Calling all fellow cupcake lovers! Remember that Moana cupcake we told you about yesterday from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Lobby at Polynesian
Well…if you love Moana and cupcakes then you might be thrilled to know that there’s ANOTHER Moana cupcake also available at Disney’s Polynesian Resort right now, and this one is the official treat released in celebration of World Princess Week. We’ve been trying all kinds of new princess desserts (like the Belle cheesecake or apple pie Snow White cupcake) around the parks and resorts lately, so we just had to stop by the Poly to check this one out.
Labor Day weekend is right around the corner, and during that time there will be plenty to do, see, and taste around the parks and resorts.
Raglan Road
Aside from the usual activities and food though, you’ll also get the chance to participate in something EXTRA special that weekend. During Labor Day Weekend, a popular event will return to Disney Springs and it’s one you won’t want to miss out on!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
