food IS a theme park
Well, there is one trend currently gaining popularity online that we don’t want you to follow!
Movie theater
A Minecraft Movie is currently in the theaters, and movie-goers are turning it into, well, a madhouse.
We are SO close to the opening of Universal Orlando’s NEW theme park, Epic Universe. Now, we’ve already had a chance to check it all out (and you can read about that here).
Universal Helios Grand Hotel
We also had a chance to check out Epic Universe’s in-park hotel, Universal Helios Grand Hotel. You’ll find some great new dining options at the hotel, too. Well, let’s say you want to book a dining reservation at the hotel…how would you go about that? Well, we’re going to tell you. Here’s a guide on how to nab dining reservations at Universal Grand Helios Hotel.
Is there anything as magical as getting to watch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom at the end of your day?
Fireworks in Magic Kingdom!
Well, what would you say to watching them from a private boat while floating on the lagoon with snacks in hand and zero crowds? Yeah, possible, and yes it’s a splurge — but if you’re looking for something extra special (and I mean really special), this might be one of the best-kept Disney World secrets. For $449, you can book a fireworks cruise that gives you front-row views of Magic Kingdom or EPCOT’s nighttime spectaculars—from the water. We recently did one and we’re already thinking about when to book it again. Let’s talk details.
Souvenirs have been a major part of the Disney theme park experience since Disneyland first opened back in 1955!

From mouse ears and toys to expensive fashion accessories and high-end collectibles, there’s a Disney World item for every taste and budget level. In fact, there are some items so ingrained with Disney parks that certain Disney adults will visit the parks JUST to get them! However, if that’s not in the cards for you, there are some Disney World items available on Disney’s web store.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is such an underrated park. Although part of it is under construction right now as DinoLand, U.S.A. becomes a new land called Pueblo Esperanza, a visit to Animal Kingdom is worth the time during your next Disney trip.

The beauty of Animal Kingdom is that it’s WAY more than just rides. It’s a chance to get up close and personal with the animals that call the park home. And the thing is…new animals join the ranks of Animal Kingdom all the time. Well, we now have to tell you about some newcomers to the park — and trust us, you’re going to love this news because these latest additions are newborns.
Snagging dining reservations for your Disney World vacation can be a STRUGGLE.
The Cake Bake Shop
If you’re using the Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app, you’ll need to book your restaurants 60 days before your trip, and some locations fill up fast. It can be frustrating to plan so far in advance and not be able to snag your preferred spots, so that’s why we’re here to tell you about a very important app!
Y’all. It is HARD being a fan of streaming shows because you just never know what their fate will be and when your show might wind up canceled.

You really get into a show, and next thing you know, it’s canceled — and you’re often left with a cliffhanger of an ending. We’ve seen it happen with a lot of popular shows, too, leaving many fans scratching their heads and asking, “WHY?” Well, if you’re a fan of Mythic Quest on Apple TV+, you’re going to be asking the same thing because Variety has confirmed the series has been officially axed by the streaming subscription service.
Okay, I’ve got a big beef with Disney World’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

So here’s the deal…I’ve been going to Disney World for almost 30 years (my first trip was in 1996 during the Birthday Cake Castle debacle — and yes, I was a little upset). I’ve also been going to Disneyland since 2014 (y’all, this is already making me feel old). I love both, although there are some things I think Disney World does better (hello, park security), and I think there are some things Disneyland does better (ALL the characters). But I do have one MASSIVE gripe about Disney World’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass that I need to get off my chest.
