food IS a theme park
We’re hereby declaring this to be the beginning of SPOOKY SEASON.
Halloween starts NOW
Yes, that’s right, it’s Halloween season as far as we’re concerned, although it doesn’t OFFICIALLY start for Disney until a little bit later with the return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World. In honor of spooky season, we’ve already shared a look at a special item you can get on Amazon and now we’ve got a peek at a new Loungefly bag that’s coming soon.
Are you a Disney adult?
Disney is celebrating its 100th anniversary!
Let us rephrase that — are you a Disney adult who has a collection of Disney t-shirts, Loungefly bags, and MagicBand+ designs? Or are you a Disney adult who will spend THOUSANDS of dollars on a single souvenir just so you can have it — or, if you’re like most of us, are you a Disney adult who DREAMS about doing that? Well, we’ve found the most over-the-top Disney 100th anniversary souvenirs that only Disney adults with cash burning a hole in their pocket would buy.
When you visit Disney World, we always tell you to check things out ahead of time BEFORE your trip.
EPCOT
We tell you to check park hours. We tell you to check to make sure your favorite rides aren’t closed for refurbishment. We tell you to check those restaurant menus in case some things have changed. We even tell you to make sure your favorite restaurants or snack spots aren’t closed, but sometimes a sudden closure surprises us, and that’s what’s happened today in EPCOT.
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World.
Disney Springs
Rides close forever. New rides open. New restaurants turn up. Old restaurants get revamped. Loads of menu changes at Disney World restaurants and bars happen ALL the time, and one such bar just got hit with a TON of updates.
Okay, Disney fans, are you ready for the ULTIMATE Disney fan event of the year?

We’re talking about Destination D23, which will return to Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Disney World from September 8th to the 10th, 2023. This is THE event for Disney fans, hosted by the official Disney fan club, D23. It’s also where we often get a lot of exciting announcements, get sneak peeks of Disney projects, see behind-the-scenes details, hear from special guests, and more! Now, we have some NEW details to share about this year’s event.
The holidays are going to be FUN in Disney World this year.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Not only will we get to enjoy the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays again, but there are now TWO holiday parties to attend: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party AND the brand-new Jollywood Nights. We’re so excited! Now, we have even more details about BOTH parties, including how much those parties will set you back. Yep, we’ve got the pricing for both!
Who knew that movies themed to Disney rides would be such a thing right now?
What Disney ride should get a movie next?
We won’t lie, we thoroughly enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. We also laughed at every single pun in the Jungle Cruise movie. And we’re DYING (see what we did there?) to see the new Haunted Mansion movie. But what ride movie should Disney do next? Well, one major star has offered up a pretty amazing suggestion.
Are you ready for 2024?
2024 Calendar in Disney World
Okay, yeah, we know we’re asking that a BIT early, but if you ask Target if it’s too early to start thinking about 2024, they’ll say “No way!” and then it’s going to show you that you can now buy 2024 Disney calendars.
Are you ready to find out how the Walt Disney Company is doing financially?

Disney held its Q2 Earnings Call back in May, and we learned about how Disney Parks are doing, as well as how Disney+ is doing. These calls are held every quarter and sometimes they even include some big announcements, like news on franchise sequels. We’re usually looking forward to these calls, if only to learn how Disney is doing as a company, and now we know when to expect the next one.
We’re about to tell you to do something we’ve never told you before.
Holidays in Disney World
We usually tell you to do everything you can to avoid Disney World during the holiday season, ESPECIALLY on Christmas Day. The crowds are usually terrifying. You’ll probably pay more for your hotel and tickets (except for maybe this year). PLUS Genie+ is usually more expensive due to demand. Well, we asked YOU, our readers, and not only do you LIKE going to the parks on Christmas Week, but you recommend it!
