food IS a theme park
Summer in Disney World this year is going to be a LOT different than previous summers.
Cinderella Castle
You see, this summer, a lot of NEW things are coming to Disney World, and we think we could see some serious summer crowds!
Disney World’s free transportation system really can’t be beat. It’s FREE, for starters, but it’s also efficient and convenient.
Disney Springs
Between Disney World buses, the Monorail, the Skyliner, and boats, you can get to pretty much anywhere you need to go on Disney World property. But sometimes closures can happen that can affect how you get from point A to point B. For example in bad weather, the Skyliner closes. Other circumstances also affect transportation, and we’ve got a closure to warn you about.

Disney World hotels have a lot going on right now…and by a lot…we mean a LOT of construction.
Disney’s Yacht Club
This is especially true with Disney World’s deluxe hotels. Many of them are under construction in some way. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a brand new Disney Vacation Club Villas building. The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been under construction for what feels like FOREVER. There’s a ton of construction at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to bring TWO new dining spots to the area. And, well, another Disney World hotel will be undergoing construction in 2025.

It’s not uncommon to see or hear of celebrities hanging out in theme parks with their families, because they’re people, just like all of us. However, it’s extra special when they work with the park to surprise guests, which is what Ryan Gosling did in Universal Studios Hollywood!
What souvenirs do you like to bring home from Disney World?
What souvenirs do you like to get in Disney World?
We know a LOT of you are all about the pins (and pin trading). We know some of us like to bring home new ornaments for our Christmas tree. Of course, ears are ALWAYS a good souvenir to grab, as are popcorn buckets and sippers. However, there’s one super UNIQUE souvenir in Disney World that we are obsessed with, and it’s BACK!
We are officially almost halfway to Halloween and couldn’t be more excited!

As much as we love staying on Disney property, the experience isn’t perfect!
Polynesian
Since Disney opened up their first true hotels with Walt Disney World’s Contemporary and Polynesian Village in 1971 — The Disneyland Hotel does technically predate them, but has a twisting backstory that involves not being owned by Disney until the mid-1980s — staying on Disney property has become an integral part of Disney vacation experience for millions at each of the company’s resorts around the world. However, just because these hotels allow guests to remain in the “Disney bubble” for the duration of their vacation, it doesn’t mean staying at them is all sunshine and rainbows. [Read more…]
