food IS a theme park
Do you open your stockings on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Mickey and Minnie stockings!
It’s fun how families have different traditions for handling stockings, but most can agree that opening them is a highlight of their Christmas.
The Disney World website has a TON of helpful information for when you’re planning your trip.
Cinderella Castle
Of course, we bring you those tips that you won’t get anywhere else — but you can find a lot of what you’re looking for on Disney’s website, too. Park hours, show times, reservation availability, you name it. Disney also shares important updates there, and a new message for guests is now on the website.
We’ve seen a LOT of upcoming ride and attraction closures for Disneyland Resort recently.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
We’ve got refurbishments going on over at Tarzan’s Treehouse, Indiana Jones Adventure, Radiator Springs Racers, and more at various times in the early part of 2023. But now, you can add another attraction to that list!
If there’s one thing we love about Disney World, it’s the food! Disney is continuously introducing brand-new foods, and we often see the introduction of new food trends at Disney — especially during EPCOT festivals!
The spread of new foods we recently tried at The Mara
Since we know that Disney World follows what’s trending in the food world, we’re making some predictions today about the food trends we might see popping up on Disney World menus in 2023!
There are just over 2 weeks left in 2022, so now is the perfect time to start planning your 2023 travel.
Southwest Airlines
If you’re looking for a last-minute big Christmas surprise, a pair of plane tickets to a new location (or back to Disney!) might just be the gift you’ve been searching for. And Southwest Airlines has a couple of major announcements that might affect your upcoming travel plans!
2023 is shaping up to be a momentous year for the Disney company.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The final voyage for the Star Wars Hotel will be September 28th-30th, 2023. After that, the Galactic Starcruiser will be permanently closed. On May 26th, Disney shared a message on the Galactic Starcruiser website stating that the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is unavailable for new bookings. However, the message also indicated that a limited number of rooms could become available for new bookings “from time to time.” Disney urges guests to continue checking the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser website for any new availability.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The 50th celebrations at Walt Disney World have wrapped up, and just as those come to a close the entire company is celebrating its 100th anniversary! 2023 might be an important year for many guests as well. For example, you might be taking your first trip on the Galactic Starcruiser, Disney’s immersive Star Wars experience. Also known as the Star Wars hotel, the Starcruiser combines Disney’s resort amenities, dining, entertainment, and activities in a 2-night/3-day experience. When it first opened in March of 2022, some scrambled to get a spot while others were more hesitant due to the price tag. Now that the experience has had time to settle in, you might be ready to book! Let’s take a look at which dates have already sold out for this experience in 2023.
Well, somehow, the year flew by and it’s the holidays in Disney World. A new year will be here soon, but until then, we’ll keep enjoying this festive season.
It’s the holidays in Disney World!
We don’t mind having extra time to check out the holiday decorations in Magic Kingdom or see all the fun holiday souvenirs in the shops. Mickey’s still throwing his Christmas Party on many nights and it’s the season to be jolly and joyous (yes, we’re quoting The Muppets). But what else is going on in Magic Kingdom? Let’s see what’s new!
Wait, how is it the end of the year already?

Sure, we’ve done all our holiday shopping (okay, MOST of our holiday shopping), and we’ve seen all the pretty decorations at Disney World, and we’ve watched a ton of holiday movies on Disney+, but January is literally RIGHT around the corner, so we’ll need more stuff to watch. That’s why we’re happy to share the list of everything coming to Disney+ in January 2023!
Have you been keeping up with the new Disney+ series The Santa Clauses?
