food IS a theme park
Disney World summers continue to be a serious topic in our virtual household!
Storms in EPCOT!
The heat can make people sick, and storms can throw big wrenches in your day. If you’re not prepared with the best tool bag and the right mentality, it can turn your magical vacation into a nightmare! If you’re in Disney World this week, you need to hear this big word of warning before heading into the park.
Things are changing at Disney Springs!
Ghirardelli at Disney Springs
After nearly 30 years at its current home, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop has been temporarily relocated while its Marketplace location undergoes a renovation. The renovations are expected to be completed sometime in Spring 2027, so we stopped by the temporary location to check it out and bring you all the details you need to know!
Who’s ready to go to Disneyland?
Disneyland
Disneyland just dropped a new ticket offer for locals, and you’re going to want to take advantage of this incredible deal. If you’re looking to pop in for a day to experience the magic, this new ticket offer is going to be right up your alley.
So you’re planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation soon, and have really been eyeing the Disney Treasure? We can’t blame you!
Disney Treasure Oceanview Staterooms
The Treasure is one of Disney Cruise Line’s newest ships, and though it began sailing in 2024, it’s still one of the hottest ships to book. We got a chance to sail on it for its inaugural trip, so we know firsthand just how special it really is. If you’re planning to set sail on board, it’s important to know that out of the hundreds of staterooms on board, these 185 staterooms are bound to go the quickest.
July 4th may have come and gone, but there’s another celebration cooking up over in EPCOT, and it goes unnoticed by so many people!
Japan Pavilion
On July 7th, you’ll want to head over to the Japan Pavilion in World Showcase to check out one of the rarest celebrations, as it happens only once a year. Not only that, the celebration only takes place for FOUR hours, so you’ll want to set your calendars!
Life in Disney World is so much easier with a refillable resort mug by your side.
Disney World Resort Refillable Mug
You buy a mug at the start of your vacation and get unlimited refills during your stay — there’s nothing better than that. WAIT! Actually, there is something better — Dollywood’s refillable mug! And we think Disney World should take a note out of Dollywood’s book to make their system better!
Now that we’re done with the Fourth of July, we can start getting ready for spooky season and Halloween, which is the next major holiday — and we’re so ready for it. Bring on all the fall decor, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Oogie Boogie Bash, and ALL the candy because it’s time to celebrate.

Spooky season also means we’re thinking more about Haunted Mansion (although truthfully, we think about it year round), but this is when we usually get new Haunted Mansion souvenirs, and now, a new collection is available online! So drag your bodies to your devices so you can start adding EVERYTHING in this collection to your cart.
Sure, it’s only July, but it’s never too soon to plan for Christmas time!

We’re already saving for Christmas presents, planning our time to head home, and daydreaming about what our decor will look like. It seems like Disney is on the same wave as us because they just released new glass ornaments that we KNOW are going to send the internet into a frenzy.
When we learned that a UK theme park was opening an entire time travel-themed park expansion, it’s safe to say we were pretty darn intrigued.

Kynren: The Storied Lands – an addition to the original Kynren attraction — is opening on July 18th, and from everything we’ve seen, this new expansion is one you won’t want to miss. While we’ve had a look at our fair share of concept art and photos, we have a new first look INSIDE the actual park, and it’s going to make you want to plan a trip!
A big change has hit Disney Springs, and we are here to tell you all about it. In case you did not know, there are buses that will take you from each of the Disney World hotels directly to Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
This is a fantastic transportation option and lets resort guests easily reach Disney Springs. In the past, non-resort guests would use these buses as well, however, that has officially changed. Let’s dive into everything you need to know. [Read more…]
