Celestial Park in Epic Universe
We go to Disney World every day! Universal is our home away from home! We love theme parks so much that we made it our job, so we were absolutely obsessed when we heard that there’s a college hosting a theme park competition. Let’s dive in and see if you can participate too.
It just got easier to get TSA Precheck.
Orlando International Airport
The Telos Corporation provides locations nationwide for TSA enrollment and renewal. Now, the company has increased its network by adding over 80 new locations, making it easier for people to obtain and maintain their TSA PreCheck.

Let’s be real — a day at Magic Kingdom means early mornings, long lines, and lots (and lots) of stuff to carry. Between the water bottles, snacks, portable chargers, and merch, your bag can start to feel like a black hole of chaos real fast. But there’s one item that always seems to be the awkward extra — your mouse ears.
Cinderella Castle
You wear them in the morning. You wear them for castle pics. But let’s be honest… around 2 PM when the heat hits and you’re running between rides, those ears are the first thing to come off. And what happens next? They get shoved in your backpack (and crushed), or worse, you end up holding them like a crown the rest of the day. That’s why we’re kind of obsessed with this new $10 Disney Loungefly-style Mouse Ear Holder we found on Amazon. It’s an absolute must if you’re hitting the parks anytime soon — especially if you’re all about your Loungefly game.
Universal has been doing some serious expanding and coming up with new theme parks and experiences all over the world.
