food IS a theme park
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been HURTING the last few weeks! We’ve seen a four-hour-long wait for Rise of the Resistance (which then proceeded to shut down) and overwhelming holiday crowds, with Hollywood Studios having a rough time keeping up.

But one ride is having the hardest time, closing over and over again throughout the new year. Today, that ride’s bad luck streak continues!
Hello from Walt Disney World!
Look at those crowds!
The holidays may be over, but decorations are still up and the crowds are out in the parks. We like to keep up with how lines are looking in order to gauge how busy it is, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
One of the big highlights of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration has been the killer merch! From the vintage Vault Collection to the pricey Luxe Collection, Disney has brought their A-Game when it comes to merch for the big anniversary.
These 50th Anniversary Tumblers can get hard to track down sometimes!
However, this means that more often than not, this merch sells out. Today, we spotted a sold-out collectible in the Disney parks that you’ll want to grab ASAP!
It’s hard to believe that Disney World’s Magical Express service is gone.

And for those who never got to use the service, this was Disney World’s FREE complimentary bus transportation to and from Orlando International Airport and Disney World hotels. But as of January 1st, 2022, a new paid service replaced Magical Express, but we have to admit, we think we’ve seen the buses that service uses before.
Disney World can sometimes experience unexpected closures and problems in the parks, but there are other changes that you can plan for.
You can plan for some of the closures in Disney World!

Happy 50th, Walt Disney World!
It takes a lot to keep Disney World running!
Since October 2021, Walt Disney World has been celebrating 50 years of magic in Florida! We’ve seen a ton of stuff pop up around the parks for the celebration, like special foods, nighttime shows, and of course, merchandise. (Disney isn’t gonna throw a celebration this big without giving us a massive selection of things to spend our money on.) We’ve seen expensive 50th items and 50th items that are nearly impossible to get, but the newest thing we found made us do puppy-dog eyes it was so cute! [Read more…]
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is coming up and we are SO excited.
Festival of the Arts 2021
The upcoming festival runs from January 14th through February 21st and celebrates visual, culinary, and performing art. Our main priority might be all the delicious eats, but you don’t have to spend money on snacks to have a great time at the fest.
