The day is finally almost here! Bluey’s Wild World officially opens to the public in Disney’s Animal Kingdom on May 26th, but the land has opened EARLY!

Bluey’s Wild World can be found over at Conservation Station, meaning you’ll need to take the Wildlife Express over. Prepare yourselves, though, because this area looks TOTALLY different now!

Disney World Cast Member Returns To Work Following Indiana Jones Stunt Show Injury

By 2 Comments

In late December 2025, a Disney World Cast Member was injured after he stepped between the crowd to stop a runaway fake prop that weighs 400 pounds at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in Hollywood Studios.

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular

The incident happened in one of the first scenes of the show when a prop boulder begins to roll down a ramp towards Indiana Jones, which is a recreation of a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Cast Member, Robert Herrick, then jumps between the prop and the audience to stop it from bounding into the crowd. After months of recovery, Herrick has officially returned to work, according to WFTV.

5 Rules You’re Accidentally Breaking in EPCOT

By Leave a Comment

EPCOT has changed a lot over the past few years, but one thing hasn’t changed: this park has its own rhythm.

EPCOT

Between festivals, World Showcase snacks, and late-night rides, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and accidentally make your day way harder than it needs to be. Some EPCOT “rules” are official Disney policies. Others are habits seasoned park fans swear by after years of trial and error. If you want a smoother park day with fewer headaches, these are the mistakes you’ll want to avoid on your next visit.

These Are NOT the Crowds We Expected to See at Magic Kingdom Today

By 2 Comments

It’s another long holiday weekend in Disney World, and if there’s anything we’ve learned from them in the past, it’s that the crowds can truly be unpredictable.

It’s Memorial Day in Disney World!

We’ve had holiday weekends that were predictably packed, and then others that made us question if we got the date wrong and it’s just a normal Monday. Memorial Day is a bit different, though, because it often falls at the start of summer vacation for many families, as their kids have just ended school. So what do things look like this year? Our boots are on the ground right now in Magic Kingdom, and let’s just say that, once again, things shocked us a bit!

REVIEW: Can This NEW Dessert Dethrone One of Our FAVORITE Disney World Snacks?!

By Leave a Comment

Ever since Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs opened at Disney’s BoardWalk, it’s been one of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat — and for more than just corn dogs, too.

Deep Fried Cheesecake

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE the corn dogs there (this one with cheese in it is a favorite), but some of our absolute favorite eats here have been the desserts! We literally dream about the Deep Fried Hawaiian Rolls from Blue Ribbon, so when we saw that another deep-fried dessert was coming to the menu, we absolutely had to try it out, too. We’re bringing you our full review of the new Deep Fried Cheesecake!

A NEW Magic Kingdom Attraction Just Opened EARLY!

By Leave a Comment

Back in early January, it was announced that during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER this year, there would be a NEW addition coming to the event over in Magic Kingdom.

Jessie’s Roundup is HERE!

Disney announced that this summer, Jessie, Woody, and friends will join guests at the Diamond Horseshoe for some “energetic fun” at Jessie’s Roundup! However, other than mentioning that you’ll be able to craft, dance, and yodel your heart out at this special event, that’s about all we knew. The experience just soft opened, though, so we just got to step into the roundup for the first time and see what’s offered!

We’ve Had EVERY Cookie at Gideon’s Bakehouse and We’re Ranking Them From ‘Top of the Line’ to ‘Hard Pass’

By Leave a Comment

Oh Gideon’s Bakehouse, you have captured our hearts…and stomachs.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

This quirky bake shop is one of the most unique spots to grab a snack in Disney World, with its dark and broody theming and ridiculously long lines due to its popularity. The menu is laden with half-pound cookies, enormous cake slices, and fun coffee beverages, but the cookies are really the star of the show. We’ve been to Gideon’s Bakehouse countless times and tried every cookie on the menu, and now, we bring you the official ranking!
