food IS a theme park
Hold on…does this Disney Halloween countdown calendar beat any Christmas Advent calendar we’ve ever seen?
Happy Fall!
Halloween decorations are up, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has begun, so it’s safe to say that spooky season has arrived. It’s time to start looking at the Halloween decor and souvenirs you can have, and we’re starting with this countdown calendar!
It’s never too late to take your Disney World packing game to the next level!
Flat Plug Power Strip
We’ve been traveling to Disney World for DECADES, so it’s safe to say we’ve picked up a tip or two. Over the years, we’ve found ways to maximize our stays at Disney hotels, and there are a few Amazon essentials currently on sale that we can’t recommend enough!
If you’ve got a Disney World trip coming up, you’ll want to be aware of a refurbishment that just hit a popular resort!
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
There has been a ton, and we mean a TON, of construction taking place at Disney World in 2026. From hotel refurbishments to ride changes to expansions, Disney World has been in a constant state of change lately. Now, a NEW refurb has hit Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort.
The EPCOT area hotels are some of our favorites to stay at. You’re right near tons of dining options at the other hotels just a few minutes away, you’re steps away from EPCOT, as well as only a few moments away from getting on the Skyliner or a FriendShip boat and getting to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Beach Club Resort
However, if you’re staying here this week, there’s something you need to know about that may affect your nighttime routine — especially if you’ve got littles. There’s fireworks testing happening tonight, and we’ve got all the information you need to know.
September is here, and that means new menus at Disney World!
Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Crumb Cookie
We check the menus every month (okay, we check them every day, but we know what we’re looking for when the calendar switches over), and Gideon’s Bakehouse releases a new menu for Disney Springs every month. As one of our favorite cookie spots in all of Disney World, you know we have to check it out. Just wait till you see the menu this month!
There are many Disney World hotel rooms to choose from. Do you want one with the best slide on-property? Or the closest to Magic Kingdom so you can see the castle and fireworks? Or maybe one with your family’s favorite restaurants?
Swan and Dolphin
There’s a massive reason everyone is booking this hotel in November, and you’re going to want to join in. Good food, great drinks, and a whole lot of fun can only mean one event is almost here!
When it comes to visiting Walt Disney World in September, rain is a MAJOR factor.
Frogg Toggs Poncho
While Central Florida has its fair share of precipitation throughout the year, there’s an uptick in September as it’s usually around the height of Atlantic Hurricane Season. Plus, since temperatures at the end of the month will tend to start dipping, guests drenched from the rain won’t dry off nearly as fast as they do at the height of summer. That’s why we ALWAYS have this essential from Amazon on-hand during September visits.
Another reopening is coming to Disney World!
Lake Buena Vista Golf Course
We’ve been waiting for the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course to reopen, and that day is coming up soon. Grab your golf clubs and let’s hit the greens.
It’s a sad day when it’s announced that a project many people were looking forward to has been abandoned or canceled.

We’ve seen a lot of show cancelations this year already, and now, a live action project we were looking forward to seeing come to Disney+ has now been abandoned. Prepare yourselves — some of you may be more than devastated by this news.
The Turf Club Lounge has reopened at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and we’re bringing you all the details to you right here!
Turf Club Lounge
The lounge has been undergoing a refurbishment, but it’s now back with an updated look and menu. The resort is only a short walk or boat ride from Disney Springs, and might be the best place to escape the park chaos and relax. Ready to see if you need to add this spot to your Disney World bucket list?
