food IS a theme park
In case you missed it, there’s this fun little place in EPCOT where you can try soda flavors from around the world — FOR FREE.
Club Cool
It’s called Club Cool, and it’s a great spot to cool down and check out some Coca-Cola products you may have never heard of. You can even buy some cool Coca-Cola merchandise there — and sometimes, you can even get some other INTERESTING souvenirs. But we just discovered that one of our favorite Club Cool soda flavors is now available at our local Target!
Many of us fly to Disney World, and we know the basics about getting in and around airports, especially Orlando International Airport.
Flying
We know that we can make the process a lot easier and more convenient if we have TSA Precheck or if we, at least, use MCO Reserve in Orlando. We know how to keep ourselves entertained if there’s a flight delay (yes, we’re watching Disney+ on our phones). But there is one new hack that we just learned that is going to change EVERYTHING.
Are you planning to visit Disney World in April?
EPCOT
It’s a great time to visit Disney World, that’s for sure! You’re likely to get good weather that isn’t TOO hot just yet (although it might be rainy). Spring Break should be over, which means you won’t have serious crowds to contend with. The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival will still be going on, so you can enjoy all the beautiful topiaries AND amazing food. But we want to warn you about some things if you’re visiting in April, too.
Happy Spring, everyone!
Spring is here!
We’ve been enjoying some of our favorite springtime activities, including visiting the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. We have to admit seeing all those gorgeous topiaries makes us want to start gardening, but let’s just say we don’t have a green thumb. But if we want to fill our home with flowers, there’s still a way — with some fun LEGO sets.
Are you looking for a NEW place to stay for your next Disney World trip?
Welcome to Fort Wilderness
Well, The Cabins at Fort Wilderness have been newly updated and converted into Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins, but you don’t have to be a DVC member to stay there. The Cabins will be opening on July 1st, 2024, and if you’re wanting to check them out, ANYONE can book a stay as of March 21st!
Y’all, we’ve seen some things in Disney World.
The only duck allowed to hide
Granted, some of those things make us happy, like Cinderella Castle, Disney ducks, characters, and good food. But we’ve also seen some things that have left our jaws hanging in utter shock. So let’s look back over the past few years at the things that shocked us the MOST in Disney World.
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is still at least a year away from opening, but there is a LOT going on in the new theme park right now.

We recently got a TON of information about all five lands the new park will bring to Universal, as well as learned more about all the new rides the new park will have. One of those rides is Starfall Racers in the Celestial Park part of Epic Universe, and we’ve got HUGE news to share about that ride.
The biggest Disney fan event of the year is coming up very soon!

This event used to be called the D23 Expo, but this year it has a brand new name is now the “D23 The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.” We got to attend a media preview for this new massive event, and we’ve got some things to tell you about what it’s like this year, as well as how it’s different from previous D23 Expo events we’ve been to. So let’s go!
So, we’ve been seeing a trend in Disney World recently.
Splash Mountain
Over the past few years, we’ve seen some things close FOREVER at Disney World. We witnessed the last EVER day of Splash Mountain. We watched Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser open and then close only about a year later. We were there when Country Bear Jamboree performed its last show (okay, not TECHNICALLY its last show, but the show IS changing, so it feels like we were saying goodbye). Although many fans have been upset with these closures, we’ve noticed something interesting.
It’s been another GREAT week in Disney World.
Speaking of fave snacks…
We’ve been spending time with our favorite snacks (okay, when are we NOT eating?). We learned a secret about Starbucks. We navigated the Spring Break crowds. We even got the new menus for 1900 Park Fare when it reopens! We also kept an eye on other Disney World restaurants and noted any menu changes we saw. So let’s see what’s different this week!
