Disney recently announced lots of exciting news in the media world — they’re partnering up with Epic Games to bring the ultimate gaming universe to life, and we just got a new trailer for Inside Out 2 (ADD LINK). And now, we finally have a trailer for ANOTHER film we’ve been waiting forever for!
As we all get ready for Super Bowl parties (and Super Bowl snacks!), there have been some updates in Disney World this week.
Sweetheart Cookie at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
For starters, we’ve now confirmed a new snack spot is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ve also started seeing the first signs that the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is coming soon! We also discovered some secret loaded fries this week. YUM. Disney World restaurant menus have also been changing this week. So let’s look at those updates!
Some Disney World snacks are worth the HYPE.
Salt & Straw
We’ll never not sing the praises of Mickey waffles. We’ll also never stop talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse cookies (and we will stand in loooong lines to get them). A few years ago, Salt & Straw in Disney Springs brought its own version of the Choco Taco to life, and EVERYONE was talking about it. Well, guess what? That snack is COMING BACK!
Birthdays at Disney World are THE BEST.
What are YOU celebrating in Disney World?
First, you can get a free button telling everyone about your birthday (and yes, Cast Members will wish you a Happy Birthday). Wearing the button can also sometimes get you some extra pixie dust around the parks, like a birthday surprise at a Disney World restaurant. We’ve even seen Mickey conduct other guests to sing “Happy Birthday” for someone celebrating their special day. Well, did you know you can also get free cookies on your birthday?
The DisneylandForward project has been discussed with Disney and the city of Anaheim for the future revamping of Disneyland Resort.

The project began in 2021 and is a multi-year expansion of the Disneyland Resort. It’s a redesign that would update two existing approvals from the 1990s. The plan would need to change zoning regulations that are currently in effect with the city and would not involve purchasing new land, but instead re-zone current land use. Disney has shared that the project would expand the current land to include new lands, attractions, resorts, retail locations, and dining options. The idea of new lands and attractions coming to Disneyland has certainly led us to start dreaming up just what we hope comes to the theme park district.
Will you be visiting Disney World in 2024?
Fort Wilderness
If you are and you haven’t planned your visit yet, you may be looking for a place to stay. You may be VERY interested in staying at Disney World’s NEWLY refurbished Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. If you are, pay attention, because we’ve got some very important dates you need to know about.
NOW is the time to plan a trip to Disneyland.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Why? Well, if you’ve never been, you might be surprised at just how amazing Walt’s original park is! Also, if you love Marvel, you’ll find Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure plus Big Hero 6 fans can enjoy an entire area devoted to San Fransokyo. You might also want to see the superior version of Pirates of the Caribbean (no, really) and other classic Disney rides. Now is the time to book that trip because you can grab some great Disneyland hotel discounts, but they’re only available for a limited time.
Imagine this: you’ve planned the perfect Disney World vacation.
The last thing you want to do is get sick in Disney World because of a ride
You’ve picked out the BEST hotel to stay at for you and your group. You’ve got your park tickets. You’ve scanned into the park, and you’re ready to ride some rides. Well, maybe you ride something a little too extreme and then end up feeling sick for the rest of the day. It’s the WORST, and believe us, it’s happened to EVERYONE, but we’re going to help you avoid those rides that tend to make people sick.
Disney on Ice is currently on tour in the United States. There are five unique shows happening now, including “Find Your Hero,” “Into the Magic,” “Frozen & Encanto,” “Mickey’s Search Party,” and “Magic in the Stars.”

Well, we have something to warn you about: a new Bahamas tax law could make your next cruise a bit more expensive. [Read more…]
