food IS a theme park
Who’s ready for some more Disney merchandise? We know we are!
Star Wars Princess Leia BaubleBar Ears
If you’re a jewelry fan or have been looking for some perfect new Disney pieces for the holidays, this new BaubleBar collection is for you. Come check it out with us!
Disney World rides are some of the most immersive out there — they instantly transport you out of reality!
Space Mountain
Whether that’s because you’re busy fighting Kylo Ren on Rise of the Resistance or jumping into a cartoon on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, there are so many stories you can explore through attractions. This applies to roller coasters too — there’s a reason why they all almost always have a long wait! However, this week, one coaster saw a jump in wait times that caught our eye and we had to let you know about it.
Disney is celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year. Yes, 100 years of the Walt Disney Company!
100th Anniversary Decoration
Walt Disney started the company in 1923, and it’s brought us so much magic since. Disney has done a lot this year to celebrate the anniversary, but there’s another surprise coming for those living in Chicago that’s only happening this weekend!
We’re gonna do it. We’re going to bring up a controversial Disney World topic…are you ready? Let’s talk about hotel perks! (*insert dramatic gasp here*)
Yacht Club
In the past few years, some hotel perks have disappeared, like the FastPass+ early booking window, the complimentary MagicBands, Extra Magic Hours, and Disney’s Magical Express service. Because of this, some fans are feeling a little miffed about what’s still included with a Disney Resort stay. So we reached out to those very fans — our readers — and asked them a big question.
Can you believe there’s less than a year until Disney Cruise Line‘s newest ship, the Disney Treasure, sets sail?

There’s so much we’re looking to explore on this new ship, especially the new dining options. One of the new restaurants is Plaza de Coco, and Disney has just given us another look at what we can expect!
We all tend to put Disney on a pedestal just a little bit (Sorry, we can’t overlook the delicious food and all the great rides!), but we can also admit when Disney makes some questionable choices.
Magic Kingdom
Folks, questionable choices were made this week. Well, the choices were probably made a long time ago, because that’s how showbiz works, but we found out about it this week, so it still counts. Disney dropped so much news this week that our team was a buzz of energy trying to keep up and make sense of all the changes! Mostly, these news drops were price increase after price increase, and we’re here to talk about it.
McDonald’s continues to up its snack game.
McDonald’s
Yes, we’re excited about the return of the McRib (though we know not everyone loves it), but we’re also into the secret brunch item we recently discovered at the fast food restaurant. Yes, we’re also STOKED about the McDonald’s and Loki collaboration, too. But now there’s a NEW, exclusive snack available at McDonald’s — and it has us ready to book a flight to Canada.
It’s the Halloween season in Disney World, which means there are TONS of specialty snacks to try!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
When it comes to sweet snacks, one of our favorite go-to spots is Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs. In celebration of their birthday month of October, they’ve been releasing new, limited-edition snacks that guests have to act super fast to try. And this weekend’s new treat features three of our FAVORITE words!
When it comes to Disney food news, it’s been a HUGE week.
Harambe Market
First, we had THOUSANDS of price increases happening at Disney World restaurants, including at the parks, the resorts, and Disney Springs. Even character dining has gone up. At the same time, we’re still trying to keep up with NEW eats, including some we just discovered at Harambe Market in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So let’s head on over there and try them out!
Garden Grill is a restaurant we talk about often.
Garden Grill
This restaurant located inside the Land Pavilion in EPCOT is one of our go-to’s. While there are many great places to eat in EPCOT, we have always really enjoyed this spot. It features a fun atmosphere and delicious food. It’s been a while since we’ve been here, so we decided to go back to check on it to see if the quality still lives up to the hype!
