food IS a theme park
Seeing Mickey Mouse strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. is one of those small things during your Disney World trip that makes it so much more magical.
Mickey during the Festival of Fantasy Parade
While you might want to go on ride after ride after ride, stopping for a parade with a Mickey ice cream bar can be worth it to see some of your favorite characters in Magic Kingdom. Before you head out to see the parade, you need to know about this upcoming change.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is officially less than a week away! That means it’s almost time for delicious treats, spooky entertainment, and haunted decorations to fill Magic Kingdom.

However, we cannot forget about exclusive Not-So-Scary merchandise. And Disney has just revealed some new items we can expect to find in the lineup this year.
We love a Disney food trend, and we’re thrilled to see this one taking over Disney World!
Churro waffle!
Churro Mickey waffles — that iconic combination of a Mickey-shaped waffle rolled in cinnamon-sugar to taste just like a churro — used to be a Disney Cruise Line exclusive. If you wanted them on land, you had exactly one option in all of Disney World. Now? There are three. Let’s talk about it.
Halloween is almost here, as is the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Now, we are READY and will be at that first party to get a good look at everything there is to see and do.

We’ve already had some sneak peeks at the exclusive food and drinks available at the party, as well as the merchandise, but Disney also just quietly dropped some details about an exclusive popcorn buckets….and trust us, you’re going to want both!
Over the years, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has become one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved traditions. The event’s offerings of candy, treats, Halloween-themed characters, special entertainment, decorations, and the rare ability for an adult to wear a costume in the Magic Kingdom have become annual favorites of many guests, and you can bet those guests are already planning their next party.

Part of that planning? Choosing the right Disney World Hotel to stay at on their Not-So-Scary night!
We’re just a few days away from the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year, which kicks off in Magic Kingdom on August 7th and happens on select nights through October 31st.
Cast Members at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
We can’t wait to be at the first party of the year to check out the exclusive dining options available, see the iconic nighttime entertainment that only happens at the party, and, of course, go trick-or-treating and ride some of our favorite rides with little to no wait. One of our favorite parts of the party, though, may not be what you expect — it’s seeing those iconic Cast Member costumes, and seeing just how much fun so many of those CMs have doing that shift, despite it being a late night! There’s a rumor flying around that those costumes could be going away this year — but how true actually is that, and what’s really going on?
September will see the end of summer and the official start of fall at the Magic Kingdom, leading to some big changes to Disney World’s first theme park.
Play ball
One seasonal event comes to an end while another is officially in full swing — both of which affect Magic Kingdom’s offerings and operating hours.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season.
Well, we got one slow week in Disney World, and apparently that was the last one we’ll have for (probably) a long while.
Saratoga Springs Resort
While there haven’t been too many changes to the Disney World hotels right now, Disney did give us a heads up that multiple projects are on their way that we need to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. If you’ve been thinking of booking a Disney World hotel reservation for the coming months, you may want to take a look at these new projects first to help aid in your decision.
One of our favorite weeks of the year is here again! We look forward to World Princess Week all year, and now it’s finally upon us again.

World Princess Week will take place this year from August 16th through 22nd, and Disney is celebrating with tons of delicious treats you can grab around the resort. They’ll only be available for a limited time, so you’ll want to make sure you add them high up on your list so you don’t miss out!
