There’s something extra special about eating Thanksgiving dinner in Disney World, but there’s one part of it that we can’t get over — the CROWDS.
Homecomin’ in Disney Springs
Many Disney World restaurants have special Thanksgiving menus that they offer for those visiting to celebrate the holiday, but the sheer amount of crowds you’ll find in the parks during that week. That makes grabbing dining reservations pretty tricky for most spots, but what if we told you that there will be a way to grab a truly delicious meal TO GO, and eat it back in your hotel room away from said crowds? Yep, it’s true, and we’re already in heaven.
Have you felt the shift in the force at Disneyland and Disney World? Galaxy’s Edge is arguably the most immersive experience you’ll get at the Disney Parks. The sights and sounds, the attractions, and the characters all make you feel like you’re in a Star Wars movie. On top of that, you can actually build a lightsaber and become a Jedi.
Lighting up the night with lightsabers
Speaking of which, Disney just dropped new lightsaber chassis and blade enhancements for Savi’s Workshop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park, with some unique effects and upgrades.
We’ve already tried more than 20 new Disney World snacks this month and found some MAJOR winners!
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Spring Rolls
We’re only a few weeks into October, and we’ve already tried 24 new snacks around the Disney World parks and hotels (and counting!). It’s been a great month for Disney World eats so far, and we’ve found LOTS of items we’d definitely go back for another time. And in a crowded field full of great choices, we’re ready to give a shoutout to our favorite new snack of the month…at least, so far!
Not every Disney change comes with major announcements and tons of social media posts. Sometimes, it’s a quiet permit submission that hints at what’s happening behind the scenes.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Disney filed two permits for work around Disney World, and we’re pretty excited to see one of the changes come through.
According to KTLA 5, police are searching for a man after two suspicious items were left near the bus roundabout leading to Disneyland on October 12th.

Officers found two satchel-style bags sitting on a dolly with wires sticking out of them. One nylon bag was duct-taped shut, with what appeared to be sharp objects sticking out.
We know, we know, we will often tell you that a $22 slice of cake from The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers on Disney’s BoardWalk is 100% worth it, and we’ve enjoyed several meals at the restaurant, too. This place was BUILT for special occasions, given the high prices. But now, the Cake Bake Shop also has a Happy Hour!
Cake Bake Cake Shake of the Day
Monday through Thursday, from 2-5 PM, you can pop into The Cake Bake Shop for special cocktails, wines, small bites, and a specialty dessert…at a special price. Well, we recently dropped by The Cake Bake Shop to check out the Happy Hour offerings, and we’re here with a review!
STOP RIGHT THERE, Monster fans, Disney just dropped some concept art for one of the major attractions coming to Hollywood Studios’ Monstropolis land when it opens next year!
Monstropolis Concept Art
The new land, which is being built in the space formerly occupied by the Muppet Courtyard (and expanding into some formerly backstage space), is set to recreate the city from Pixar’s iconic 2001 film Monsters, Inc. We’ve been tracking construction on the project closely since before construction began, and now Disney has given us a NEW piece of concept art to obsess over. Let’s take a look!
