food IS a theme park
It’s not always pixie dust and fairy tales at Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
That means that when you’re planning for a trip to Disney World, it’s always better to go in with your eyes wide open. So while Disney has some amazing experiences, rides, and food, there are a couple of brutal realities that no one really talks about, but you need to know!
Do you use Lightning Lanes when you go to Disney World?
Scanning into a Lightning Lane at Disney World
Recently, Disney World updated its skip-the-line system from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and we’ve been learning all its ins and outs since it premiered in July. On top of learning the intricacies and rules, we’ve been monitoring the price of Lightning Lane Multi Pass for each park, each day. And there’s something interesting you should know about prices this week.

We know, we know, it’s only September, but we can’t lie — we’re SUPER excited for the holiday season in the Disney World and Disneyland parks!
Disneyland
We’ve already got our tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights in Hollywood Studios, but if you’ll be over on the West Coast for the holiday season, never fear! Disney recently announced all the offerings that will be coming back to Disneyland Resort this year for the holidays, including the beloved Festival of Holidays!
How much pixie dust is too much to pardon?
A crane has popped up at the construction site
Construction is a fact of life at Disney World. Whether we’re talking about ride refurbishments, hotel enhancements, or even a brand-spanking-new expansion, it’s hard to find a time when there isn’t some kind of work happening at Disney World. So, when will it end? Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that.
If you’re like us and The Haunted Mansion is one of your favorite attractions, then we have something that’s absolutely to die for!
Haunted Mansion
Ok, not literally, although they do have 999 happy haunts and seem to have room for 1,000, but we found the coolest Longefly Bags to make every day out a hauntingly good time!
Listen, we know Crumbl Cookie Mania is a thing.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
We’re pretty sure we can’t scroll through TikTok without a video showing off a pink box full of cookies. But, can we please give some well-deserved love to the COOLEST cookie shop ever? [Read more…]
We can all sing the “it’s a small world song” whether we want to admit it or not. In fact, it’s probably stuck in your head right now.
“it’s a small world” in Tokyo
It may be a “small world” but this ride is getting some BIG changes at one Disney park! Back in March, Disney announced that there would be a Marvel take-over of the “it’s a small world” ride at Tokyo Disney. Groot and friends will be experiencing the world’s cultures over at this well-known ride in 2025, and now we got a sneak peek at the characters coming for the fun!
It’s officially September and you know what that means — we can unabashedly be into all things fall and Halloween without fear of judgment. We know it’s early, people!!!
Halloween in Disney World
But, Disney gets started on Halloween early and we’re certainly not complaining. We’ve seen all sorts of Halloween merchandise drop so far this year and we’re sure we haven’t seen the end of it yet. In fact, another Halloween souvenir is dropping soon and we’re pretty sure it’s gonna go VIRAL!
