WONDERFUL WAFFLE NEWS: Magic Kingdom’s BEST Snack Is BACK in Disney World

By 6 Comments

When Disney World gets rid of one of our favorite snacks, you KNOW we take notice — and we know we’re not the only ones.

Sleepy Hollow

For example, we recently lost that lovely Toffee and Coconut Brownie in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that we’ve loved since the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Last year, we briefly lost the Hush Puppies at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom, and we griped about it…a lot. Then the Hush Puppies came back! We also lost the waffles at Sleepy Hollow when the round waffles were replaced with Mickey waffles…that just didn’t hold up. Well, y’all, another snack miracle has happened, because the Mickey waffles are gone and the old waffles are back!!!

By Leave a Comment

As Disney’s Hollywood Studios barrels towards its 40th anniversary, the park a generation will forever refer to as “MGM” holds a bevy of secrets that few are aware of during their visit.

And let us just tell you, this park has secrets. These secrets run the gamut from original version easter eggs to a hidden ride mode in the park’s newest land.

By Leave a Comment

Summer in Disney World is about to be different from what it was before, but what does that really look like?

Summer in Magic Kingdom

Disney introduced that this year they’d be doing something called Cool Kid Summer, and while it sounds great on paper, we’ve been really curious to see how it would come across in real life. But what really IS Cool Kid Summer, and is it worth heading to the parks to experience?

By Leave a Comment

Our Hollywood Studios evenings are usually filled with rides on Slinky Dog Dash, eating fun ice cream by the Tower of Terror, and rounding off the night with a showing of Fantasmic!. This summer, there’s a day when our evening adventures will be cut short!

Slinky Dog Dash

We keep an eye on all the park hours at Disney World so you can best plan your vacation, and we noticed on a random night this summer, the Hollywood Studios hours are drastically different.

The One Big Announcement We Expect Disney to Make in July

By Leave a Comment

Can you believe we’re pretty much halfway through 2025 already?! Time has been flying, and some BIG things are happening at Disney World in July!

EPCOT

This year has been rough with goodbyes, as we’ve started to say “farewell” to DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and now Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. HOWEVER, it’s almost time to say “hello” to some new and returning offerings, such as the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!

Where Is the GEO-82 Lounge in EPCOT?

By Leave a Comment

There’s a brand-new lounge hiding in EPCOT, and let’s just say…it’s not where you think it is.

Geo-82

Disney just opened the GEO-82 Lounge, and while it’s all sleek lines and grown-up vibes on the inside, you’ll probably walk right past the entrance if you don’t know what you’re looking for. This is EPCOT’s first adults-only lounge, and Disney did not phone this one in. So if you’re on the hunt for next-level cocktails, smooth jazz, and a spot that doesn’t scream “theme park,” here’s exactly how to find it.

By Leave a Comment

The countdown is on.

Rivers of America

In 2024, Disney shocked the theme park world when they announced that a new Cars-based expansion was coming to the Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, replacing the entirety of the Rivers of America, including Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat AKA the Liberty Belle with construction beginning in 2025.
