We’re warning you now that if you have easy access to Disneyland and are trying to save money, you may not want to read this post.
Disneyland
Sometimes one Disney Resort gets merchandise the others don’t, or at least one park gets new souvenirs before the others. We’re hoping that the latter option is the case with this NEW item because we need this new Beauty and the Beast souvenir in EVERY park!
If you’re looking for some really great dining in Disney World, Disney Springs is the way to go.
Disney Springs
Yes, there are some great restaurants in the parks too, but Disney Springs has so many of our favorite restaurants that cover a variety of different dining styles, and they’re all in one location. If you’re a big fan of barbecue or The Polite Pig, you’ll want to head over to grab this new special ASAP!

But, with every new addition in Disney World, there’s one thing we see happen time and time again. As excited as we are to say hello to Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, you might want to be prepared for one thing in Disney World.

BREAKING DISNEY NEWS!
Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser
Since it was announced that the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel was closing this year, the final voyages sold out quickly. If you were not able to snag a reservation, now is your chance!
They say if you love something, let it go, and if it comes back — it’s yours. But, Disney World fans know that’s not always the case.
Hollywood Studios
Limited-time experiences, treats, and entertainment can be found on most days, but if you’re not quick you might miss them! Over in Hollywood Studios, a pop-up bar has been quenching folks’ thirst for a few months now, but it will all be over soon.
If you’ve been to the movie theater at ALL this year, then you know that 2023 has been a big year for the box office!
AMC Theaters
It seems like there have been a dozen different blockbuster films in the past several months…or at least, films that were likely intended to be blockbusters. But of all the major film releases in 2023, not every one of them has been successful. In fact, Disney has had some pretty major project flops this year.
So. You’re planning a trip to Disney World. Congratulations! With all the new things to see and do around the parks, you’ve got plenty to keep you busy. But before you dive in headfirst, you might want to take an extra look at your Disney World hotel options. You’ve got TONS of possibilities, and it can be tempting to just pick the cheapest resort or the one your neighbor highly recommended that one time. But there’s no one-size-fits-all hotel that works for everyone, and we see people make the WRONG choices all the time.
Grand Floridian Resort

A LOT of stuff is going on in Disneyland, and we’re having trouble keeping track of it all.
Disneyland
But we’re doing our best to keep you updated. We were there when the updated Toontown opened (and we even got to ride Disneyland’s Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway). We’re keeping an eye on the Adventureland Treehouse, plus we’re looking forward to learning more about those new restaurants coming to Downtown Disney. But we’re also keeping an eye on two Tiana-themed projects, and we have some HUGE updates to share.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
