By 1 Comment

Disney has confirmed the return of one of their longest-running and most beloved annual traditions… and the celebrities coming along with it!

Josh Gad narrating the 2024 Candlelight Processional

The Candlelight Processional – – which features excerpts of the Biblical Christmas story tied together with classic hymns – – first began in Disneyland back in the early 1960s. The event came to the East Coast during Walt Disney World’s first holiday season in 1971, and was initially performed in Magic Kingdom’s Town Square. In 1994, the Candlelight Processional was moved to Epcot, eventually becoming the centerpiece of the park’s sprawling Festival of Holidays celebration, where it has been staged since.

This Is The BEST Disney Thing You’ll See On the Internet Today

By Leave a Comment

One thing that we love about visiting Disney World so often is that we’ll often have an experience that’s unique from anything we’ve had before…and it happens all the time. From extra magic created by Cast Members to a fun interaction with a character, this is how Disney remains magical, even for those who go all the time.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

Well, a NEW detail just popped up in EPCOT that made us smile, and we had to share it with you. Remember the sea urchins in EPCOT’s The Seas with Nemo and Friends Pavilion?

By Leave a Comment

Listen, I’m not trying to be dramatic, but I think some Disney World chicken strips and fries would heal me right about now.

Chicken Tenders at Cosmic Ray’s

Okay, maybe that is a bit dramatic, but there’s just something about Disney’s chicken strips that scratches an itch for me. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the fact that everything tastes better when I’m at Disney World, or maybe it’s just the fact that I love me a good chicken strip. No matter the reason, sometimes I drive all the way to Disney World just for the chicken strips, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

13 Price Increases Just Hit A Popular Disney Springs Restaurant

By Leave a Comment

We don’t always eat our way around Disney World…okay, yeah, we do. We ALWAYS eat our way around Disney World, and that means this week, we did even MORE eating. We got to check out a newly-reopened EPCOT Food & Wine Festival booth, enjoyed a delicious flatbread at what is probably one of our least favorite Magic Kingdom restaurants (hey, sometimes, those restaurants surprise us!), and were disappointed when one of our favorite meals in Disney’s Hollywood Studios changed.

We also kept a close eye on Disney World restaurants to spot any menu changes, so let’s see what menu updates we discovered this week. Spoiler alert: one Disney Springs restaurant just got a bit pricier.
