🚨 WARNING! 🚨 READ THIS POST AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
While some of the magic at Disney World is truly real (like when it comes to those amazing Cast Members), there are some ways that Disney TRICKS you into believing that some “real” magic is happening. From dancing ghosts to lightsabers that seem to cut through walls — there are some epic Disney effects that might cause even the most tech savvy to say “how did they do that?!” But, as we noted above — BE WARNED! Reading on could spoil some of the magic. For real, this is your last chance! Oh, you’re okay with getting some behind-the-scenes spoilers? Okay! Lean in close — we’ve got some juicy secrets to share with you!
Hey, you! Yeah, you! We’re stopping by a SECRET bar in Disney World for lunch, and you’re gonna want to join us.
Cabana Bar and Beach Club Spread
Okay, okay, maybe it’s not so secret — but it’s certainly not mainstream! We’re swinging over to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel to pay a visit to Cabana Bar and Beach Club, a surprisingly swanky and relaxing spot.
Last year, Disneyland announced a new Annual Pass program called Magic Key.
Exclusive Magic Key Lounge
The program offers Key holders admission to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure with varying levels of access and benefits. Key holders are subject to making park reservations and there is a no-show policy that hasn’t been enforced — until now.
We certainly hope you’re hungry, because we’re headed to an eye-catching Disney World restaurant for a review.
Secret Menu Burger
Odds are you’ve seen this spot before if you’ve been to Disney Springs; maybe you went in for a bite or maybe you just strolled by, casually remarking at the idea of a restaurant IN A STEAMBOAT. Yep, we’re talking about Paddlefish today. This spot has garnered mixed reviews from us in the past, so let’s find out if YOU should visit!
We spent our day eating and drinking our way around the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! There were TONS of new snacks this year that seriously impressed us, so if you’re planning a visit to Disneyland sometime soon, you’re in for a good time.
California Adventure Food & Wine Festival
This year’s festival runs from March 4th through April 26th and brings DELICIOUS eats and interesting drinks to Disneyland Resort. You KNOW we tried alllllll of that food; that means we got our snack on at 13 FOOD BOOTHS.
If you’ve been on the Disney side of the internet for the past few weeks, odds are you’ve seen a LOT about Disney World’s new Star Wars Hotel.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a fully immersive two-night trip aboard the cruise ship-like Starcruiser, the Halcyon. Though you aren’t really soaring through space, the experience is designed to last the entire duration of your stay; that means a trip on Galactic Starcruiser could mean missing two park days. Can it possibly be worth it?
We’ve officially taken TWO voyages on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser…A.K.A. Disney World’s NEW fully immersive Star Wars Hotel. This offering is a fully-immersive two-night experience similar to a cruise ship where you are launched into your own Star Wars story on a “space cruise.”
Star Wars Hotel Room
That means you don’t really leave the building for the two days, besides a trip out to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. So, what about those of us that struggle with claustrophobia? We’re here with a NO BS guide to being claustrophobic at Disney’s Star Wars Hotel!
We had a great day eating and drinking our way around the 2022 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Happy Flower and Garden, everyone!
This year’s festival runs from March 2nd through July 4th and celebrates springtime with gardens, entertainment, and FOOD. We’re allllll about those fresh eats, so we got our SNACK on at 18 FOOD BOOTHS.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
