food IS a theme park
Wow, Disney Cruise Line… you REALLY threw me for a loop this time.
On the Disney Destiny
I learned WAY more than I expected to learn during my most RECENT Disney Cruise vacation, so I’m TAKING you onboard the ship with me so YOU can learn about these things, too!
Major changes are coming to Southwest Airlines soon — and fans are NOT happy about the change.

Starting on January 27th, Southwest will require travelers to choose a seat assignment, or one will be assigned for them. This is a stark difference from the airlines’ long-standing “open seating” policy, which essentially allowed anyone to sit in any seat on the plane when boarding. We asked you for your thoughts on the changes, and you did not hold back!
Target is a great place to shop if you’re a Disney fan!
Target!
Some Target locations have Disney Stores integrated inside, and even the ones that don’t often have lots of Disney-themed merchandise. But don’t worry, for those who aren’t close to a Target, you can shop some of their best products online…including these Loungefly bags!
Amazing news for movie fans out there, especially those who have a Regal Cinemas near them!
Who doesn’t love popcorn?
We’re big fans of getting things for free when we can, because hey, who doesn’t like getting things for free? Next week, you can visit a Regal Cinema to see any movie you’d like, and if you come dressed in a costume, you can get FREE popcorn!
Good news: Disney essentials don’t always come with sticker shock.
Our favorite sling bag!
Whether you’re prepping for park days, packing for travel, or just love a good bargain, these Amazon finds deliver Disney-trip value without the high cost. Each one proves you can stay comfortable and prepared without overspending!
We see amazing Disney merchandise practically every day, and that means our wallets are basically always struggling.
SO many designs
We’re particularly suckers for Loungefly bags, but here’s the thing — they’re not the best for organization. There’s usually only 1-2 zippered pockets, and you just throw everything you need in those and hope for the best. We’ve seen a Loungefly backpack organizer online that we’ve found we really liked, but if we’re being honest…it’s not the cutest. However, our ENTIRE world just changed when we spotted this on the BoxLunch website, because not only is it practical, but it’s also ADORABLE!
We love hearing about new restaurants opening up around the Orlando area, because, hey, while we are DISNEY Food Blog, we also love exploring options outside the park and around the city, so you know where to eat if you’re exploring!
Time to try a new spot!
We were invited to check out a new spot that just opened up about half an hour from Disney Springs, and when we heard it had a focus on chicken and sauces, we said YES, PLEASE! Saucy! by KFC has just opened in Orlando, and if you like bold flavors, you’ve gotta give it a try.
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!

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. So how did Disney’s wait times hold up as 2026 began in earnest and New Year’s Eve?
