food IS a theme park
Fireworks are a super huge deal in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
Recently, Magic Kingdom went back to their Happily Ever After fireworks show, and EPCOT has returned to EPCOT Forever. However, if you’re in Magic Kingdom tonight or soon, you need to know that fireworks times are changing!
There are hidden details everywhere at the Disney parks.

When we’re strolling through the parks, we try to keep our eyes peeled for all the fun and delightful secrets that Disney and Imagineers have hidden for guests. We’ve spotted things like certain characters playfully hiding, incredibly rare hidden Mickeys, and treats we’ve almost missed. And recently when getting some snacks, we learned about a fun detail that you may have never noticed. [Read more…]
We’ve got great news from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Tower of Terror
Tower of Terror is a top tier (see what I did there…like, it’s tall…you know?…OK never mind) attraction in Hollywood Studios, but the line can get quite long, and some of it is outside in the hot sun.
Now, Disney actually opened this ride with a way to keep you cool in line, but that whole shebang has been BROKEN for, like, ever. Well guess what! It’s been fixed!
Oh, hi there. I appreciate you coming to read this and possibly deter me from making what I am absolutely CERTAIN is a monstrously horrible financial choice. Or is it…????

Disney keeps doing this to us — with the $79,000 Spaceship Earth and the clock that costs 2 grand — but those are pretty easy to resist, TBH. I don’t know about you, but if I have $79,000 it’s probably gonna go in my retirement fund. And $2,000 could get me one night (maybe) at the Grand Floridian…(LOL except it’s kind of true).
But THIS. This could potentially be within the realm of a “questionable but defensible choice” rather than a pipe dream, right? Check it out:
Disney doesn’t share ALL of their secrets right away, but we may have just discovered some CLUES to future changes in one park.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a reimagined Pixar Place will be reopening soon, construction is still ongoing in part of Toy Story Land, and Roundup Rodeo BBQ has opened. But 2 permits we spotted recently could clue us into further changes.
Yesterday we had a HUGE surprise when Pixar Place — that space where the Toy Story Mania entrance used to be back in the day, and which used to be called Municiberg — re-opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Mr. and Mrs. Incredible at Pixar Place Meet and Greet
It’s right on the way to Toy Story Land, and it’s now where you can meet Incredibles characters and Sulley from Monsters Inc.!
But the BEST part about Pixar Place in OUR humble opinion is…the Neighborhood Bakery! This tiny snack stand is the ONLY place where you can currently get Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookies in Disney World! (And believe me…you definitely want to get them.) And we’ve just spotted a BRAND NEW addition to the menu!
Let’s face it, we all have our own favorite Disney characters.

And it’s the best when you can actually meet your favorite characters in and around the parks. There’s a very popular character that started meeting recently, and there’s typically a 2.5 hour+ wait to meet her! We got the chance to say hi to her, and we wanted to share the deets on how to have your best chance to meet Moana, too!
If you’re a McDonald’s fan, you might get a little jealous in a second.
World’s Largest Entertainment McDonald’s
Recently we took a full tour of the largest McDonald’s in the world which happens to be minutes away from Disney World, and we keep our eyes peeled for any and all deals we can find.
And McDo just happened to announce that there’s a new snack wrap available for a limited time, but it’s not where you think.
There are lots of exciting things going on in EPCOT.
EPCOT
We’ve got loads of different construction projects happening in the park, and Disney recently revealed the surprising outcome of yet another one. Over in the Japan Pavilion, where Tokyo Dining used to be, a new restaurant is taking its place, and we got a peek at what construction is looking like.
It’s time for some more eats over at Disneyland Resort!
Red Rose Taverne
We recently found some new snacks over at Jolly Holiday, but now it’s time to head through the castle, past Snow White, jostle by the carrousel, and turn left to Red Rose Taverne. There are two new menu items we had to try and we’re here to tell you if they’re worth your money!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
