food IS a theme park
You won’t believe who we just saw at EPCOT!
EPCOT
We were recently at EPCOT, enjoying our day at the park, when the most unexpected thing happened. We’re willing to bet you won’t be able to guess what it was!
You’re not gonna be proud to own every single Disney Parks essential that you use, but that doesn’t make them any less effective!
Neck Cooling Tube
These essentials may not be the most flashy, visually appealing, or popular items you can bring with you to Disney World — but there’s no denying that they help. From keeping you cool to making sure you stay comfortable in the sticky theme park weather, these are some “embarrassing” essentials you should check out right now on Amazon!
This week was certainly a big one for Disneyland Resort, with tons of announcements around Oogie Boogie Bash, which kinda stuck Disney World in the backseat. Though after weeks in a row of TONS of news and changes, we think it deserves a little break.

That’s not to say that things didn’t still HAPPEN in Disney World, because they absolutely did. Not only did one construction project FINALLY finish up after months, but we also got new sneak peeks of TWO of the new lands on their way!
Do you have a Disney World vacation planned for June? Let’s talk about the Lightning Lane prices!
Long lines at Hollywood Studios
Summer has officially begun, and we now have the prices for Lightning Lane at Disney World up until June 25th. Prices are looking similar to the month of May, but they fluctuate depending on the park and day. We’ve put together all the prices for you to prepare before you go on your Disney World trip, so let’s take a look!
Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure is just a few short months away, and we’re already gearing up for tickets to go on sale on June 18th (though Magic Key Holders get early access on June 16th).

It’s already been announced that there will be some pretty significant changes at the party this year, with one of the biggest being that the popular Frightfully Fun Parade won’t be taking place. Instead, Disney has added a new addition that highlights Madame Leota and Haunted Mansion, but what exactly is the reasoning behind the lack of parade? Well, once we heard it, we realized just how much it made sense.
EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival has been one of Disney World’s premier events for over three decades, and it often has the crowds to prove it! However, believe it or not, some weeks are slower than others.
2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
If one dissects the 2026 Festival’s dates, certain weeks will be easier to visit than others. Now, that doesn’t mean lines will be nonexistent — they’ll still be there, especially at the most popular booths — but the park won’t be as slammed with crowds as it is during the fest’s opening, closing, or Holiday weeks.
Magic Kingdom is in the midst of quite a large overhaul — there are walls practically everywhere you look!
Carousel of Progress
Over in Frontierland, Piston Peak is coming to life behind tall walls (though hop on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for a great look at what’s going on), and Villains Land is currently being built from the ground up behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. However, it was recently announced that ANOTHER big project is beginning in just one month, and it’ll change one attraction for good — this is your reminder that you’ve only got ONE more month to experience the current version of Carousel of Progress!
When we’re at EPCOT, we love visiting The Odyssey building. Where else can you find air conditioning, bathrooms with no line, and a shortcut to Mexico all in one place?
The Odyssey Pavilion
But when we stopped by The Odyssey building yesterday, we noticed a massive change. The Odyssey building might look totally different soon!
If you’ve never been to Disneyland during Halloween Time, you are missing out! Disneyland goes ALL out for the holiday, with both parks getting decorated, characters in Halloween costumes, special ride overlays (hello, Haunted Mansion Holiday!), LOADS of spooky food and drinks, Oogie Boogie Bash, and so much more.
Halloween Time at Disneyland
However, the closer you get to Halloween, the more expensive Disneyland might be…BUT…if you visit the month before October (aka September), you can score an AMAZING deal on tickets.
We love going to Animal Kingdom to see all the adorable animals. There are so many cute critters, from flamingos and otters to kangaroos and giraffes. If you’re also an animal lover, then Disney just released the best news you’ll hear all week!

Disney just named their new baby giraffe at Animal Kingdom – meet Ivy!
