food IS a theme park
Extended Evening Hours are one of the most popular perks available at Walt Disney World. This perk gives Deluxe Tier resort guests several extra hours in the theme parks at the end of the day that the general public doesn’t have access to.

However, did you know you don’t HAVE to pay Disney World deluxe hotel prices to get this perk?
Okay, so you’ve planned that trip to Disney World, and you’re ready. You know where you’re staying, you’ve bought your tickets, and maybe you have even booked some dining reservations (because where to eat is SO important, y’all).

But you still need to think about what you’ll be bringing into the parks, and you’ll need a good park bag to bring all of that in with you. So if you need a park bag for that next trip, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered!
There are SO many great options for dining at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, and we’ve been to every single restaurant there, at this point. But there’s still more food we need to try, so we just keep going back.
Café L’air De La Sirène
Now, we’ve been to Cafe L’air de la Sirene Restaurant in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic before, but we recently returned to the restaurant to try out more of the menu. So what did we think? Well, we’re going to tell you!
So, we won’t lie, we think a trip to Disney World is great for whatever ails you. Let’s just say that when we’re in Disney World, our mental health improves by 100%, but it’s also a bit of a workout, too…PLUS an exercise in endurance (seriously, think about how you feel at the end of a week there).

BUT…did you know Disney World could also be the cure for something known as “dead butt” syndrome? Well, it can — and we’re going to explain what that is and how a Disney World trip can make it all better.
Okay, we’re not going to lie, we’ve been to Japan a few times, and the food is just…like…well, it’s superior, and yes, we’re saying that even about the food in Tokyo Disneyland.

But the food is great pretty much everywhere in Japan, including at convenience stores. There’s one little item everyone especially loves, and it’s the egg sandwich — don’t come at us because those sandwiches are HIGHLY popular. Well, the company that owns 7-Eleven wants to bring Japanese-style convenience stores to the U.S., including those egg sandwiches!
Texas seems to be a new HOT spot for theme parks, and even Universal is building its Universal Kids Resort there, which is set to open in 2026.

Even experts think more theme parks will be coming to Texas soon. One that’s currently under construction is Cotaland, a theme park located in Austin, TX, near the Circuit of The Americas racing circuit. Well, that theme park was supposed to open in October, but now it seems that its opening may be delayed.
A lot of things can delay a flight, and we’ve all been there, at least if you’ve flown more than a few times.
Southwest Planes at Orlando International Airport
Sometimes, delays happen because bad weather is causing issues. Sometimes, delays are for weird reasons (no joke…in Orlando once saw flight delays due to a dead armadillo on the runway). Sometimes, delays are due to technical issues. However, a NEW delay reason has erupted its nasty head…ransomware, which was responsible for recent flight disruptions in Europe.
It seems like every time we blink, a new streaming app is born.

It’s hard to keep up with all of them, too, although we’ve been keeping up with Disney+ and Hulu (of course), as well as Netflix, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount, and more. Well, add one more to the list…especially if you have kids. Scholastic is launching its own streaming app, but there’s a catch — it’s 100% free!
Well, September is going away soon, and we’ll soon be knee deep in October, and all things fall (okay, we’re already knee deep in fall, but someone needs to tell the Orlando weather that). Halloween is in full swing in Disney World, and we’re already looking ahead to the holidays.

So while we’re enjoying our pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, we’ve been busy revisiting some underrated restaurants, asking Disney fans about how they like to hack Magic Kingdom snacks, and ordering from the kids’ menu in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But you know what time it is…it’s time to check out which Disney World restaurants changed this week.
When you travel to Disneyland, do you fly? If so, you may realize you have several choices when it comes to airports.

The obvious option is the Los Angeles International Airport, mostly because it has a lot of flights with many airlines throughout the day. However, two other airports are actually closer, including Long Beach Airport in Long Beach and John Wayne Airport in Anaheim. Well, one of those airports, John Wayne Airport, was just named the BEST.
