Anyone who has been to Disney World in the last couple of decades knows how integral MagicBands have become to the resort experience.
MagicBand+ with Enchantment
The latest iteration, MagicBand+, serves multiple functions, including functioning as a Walt Disney World or Disneyland entry ticket, checking in for Lightning Lanes and connecting with Photopass, and reacting to select Disney theme park attractions with “lighting effects and gesture recognition.”
Halloween is getting bigger and better ALL the time, and we’re not just talking about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World or Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Orlando.
Halloween is getting better EVERYWHERE, including in Las Vegas, where a new permanent attraction, Universal Horror Unleashed, will make it feel like Halloween year-round. Well, we got a chance to check out Horror Unleashed for ourselves, and we’re bringing you along for the (very, very scary; no weenies allowed) ride.
If you’ve got a Disney vacation coming up, your travel plans may be affected before you even set foot in the parks. OK, so most people try to get through the airport part of their vacation as quickly as possible because, duh, who wants to be stuck in an airport? But this announcement from the Orlando International Airport might result in some longer travel times, so be prepared.
Orlando International Airport
The Orlando airport has officially decided to replace its Gate Link vehicles, tracks, and electrical control equipment, which means a LONNNG construction period is on the way. Obviously, this will impact transportation around the airport for travelers, so let’s take a look at what to expect.
When you’re picking a hotel for Disney World, Universal Orlando, or maybe even just the Orlando area, you’re going to want to make sure that hotel meets a certain set of standards (I won’t even book a hotel that doesn’t have at least 4 out of 5 dots on TripAdvisor, for example). You’re paying good money for accommodations — you deserve a quality stay!
The pool at Conrad Orlando is SO pretty!
Well, if you’ve been thinking about staying at Evermore Resort near Disney World (which is MASSIVE, by the way), you may opt for the hotel on-site, the Conrad Hotel. Well, if you book that hotel, you probably made a great decision because it just got one of the highest honors in the hotel industry: the AAA Five Diamond designation. Everybody say OOOOHHH…AHHHH.
Now that Epic Universe has been open for a bit, we think it’s about time to spill the beans on one of the park’s biggest attractions.
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
The more we visit Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, the more we learn. From new tricks to favorite eats, we’ve picked up a lot during our visits. We’ve also learned about some of the park’s pitfalls, including a misleading warning regarding a certain Harry Potter attraction…
Disney Cruise Line continues to grow as its fleet gets bigger and bigger. That means you have even more choices if you’ve ever been interested in taking a Disney Cruise. Options! We love options! Especially when they’re all unique Disney themes.

The next ship to set sail for the first time is the Disney Destiny, which will embark on its maiden voyage on November 20th (yes, that’s soon). Ahead of its maiden voyage, though, the ship needs to be put through the paces, a.k.a. sea trials. Well, the Disney Destiny is now out there on the ocean, getting ready to do just that, according to The Orlando Sentinel. Aww…it’s like baby’s first steps! We’re feeling like proud parents over here.
