food IS a theme park
If you’re a LEGO fan, we’ve got good news!
The Haunted Mansion LEGO set in Disney World
We’ve seen lots of new LEGO sets online lately, and some even go on sale from time to time. If you’re a big fan of minifigures especially, you won’t want to miss these new Disney offerings!
If there’s one thing we hate forgetting to pack if we’re headed to Disney World, it’s a pair of sunglasses.
You’ll definitely want some sunglasses for those sunny Florida days!
That Florida sun is brutal, and it can definitely show in your PhotoPass photos when you can’t open your eyes because the sun is so bright. Plus, you’ll miss out on all the great scenery at Disney World without some shades! Luckily, a new pop-up shop in EPCOT can help you out if you forget this essential.
Disney is officially celebrating its 100th anniversary. There are celebrations for this huge milestone happening in Disney World, Disneyland, and around the world.
Disney World
Since this is such a big deal, Disney is also celebrating with some 100th anniversary merchandise. We have seen collections around the parks and online. Amazon has even joined in on the fun with a 100th anniversary collection, and a few of the items are Amazon exclusives!
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board (formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District) held a meeting on April 26th, 2023, where they declared that agreements previously entered into by Disney and the former Reedy Creek Board were void.

This was apparently the final straw for Disney, who was primed and ready to file a federal lawsuit. The company has alleged that DeSantis has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” over them. And then, in a meeting on May 1st, the new District Board voted to sue Disney in state court — which was apparently news to the Florida governor.
You may have eaten “in space” before, but now there are several NEW reasons to hop back up that intergalactic elevator and dine in the Centauri Space Station.
Space 220
Space 220 has been open in EPCOT for a while and we ate EVERYTHING on the menus when it first opened, but the menu has since changed (sometimes just for a limited time!). And now more changes and NEW menu items have hit this popular spot.
If you’re a fan of all things Star Wars, you’re going to want to keep reading!
Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
Star Wars Day might be coming soon, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg at Disneyland — this park celebrates the occasion for an entire MONTH. That’s right — Star Wars month is returning to Disneyland this year. From May 1st, 2023, to June 4th, guests can celebrate all things Star Wars — and that means an iconic Disney ride has changed!
Get ready — some new Disney food is coming soon!
Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month Sign (2022)
May is Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month and Disney will be celebrating in some special (and delicious) ways. From new DOLE Whip cups to savory dishes and everything in between, let’s go through the NEW (and currently available) dishes you may want to try.
Imagineers are responsible for so much of the Disney magic we know and love.

From Disneyland to Disney World and beyond, the parks just wouldn’t be the same without them. One important Imagineer, Bob Weis, retired at the end of 2022, and Disney just revealed how they’ve chosen to honor him and his contributions to the company! And if you ask us, it’s pretty iconic.
Have you decided to take a trip to Walt Disney World? Congratulations! The excitement starts the minute that you start planning your vacation.
Welcome to Disney World!
But where do you begin? Whether this is a first trip to Disney World or a repeat visit, it takes patience to research flights, transportation, hotels, dining, tickets, and more. We know that you have more questions than answers right now. You’re probably asking yourself all of these questions: Should I fly or drive to Orlando? Which Disney resort fits my touring plans? How does Disney transportation work? Where should we have a character meal? Which admission tickets do we need?
Are you ready to track down an ultimate Disney food icon? For many families visiting Walt Disney World, eating a Mickey Waffle is a rite of passage!
Mickey Waffle
But waffles come in all shapes and sizes at Disney and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to choose between them. Lately, we’ve seen Mickey, Simba, Liege, and Belgian Waffles — just to name a few. There are even Mickey Waffles for plant-based diners.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
