food IS a theme park
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members are in for a real treat this December at Disney World!

The holiday season is truly a special time at the Walt Disney World Resort. Decorations, after-hours parties, ride overlays, special treats, and special events are found throughout the Parks and hotels — making it one of the most unique times to visit. In fact, for DVC members, December is extra special thanks to the return of an exclusive dinner show at Disney’s Fort Wilderness!
If you’re obsessed with Disney history, this restaurant definitely deserves a spot on your bucket list!
Tam O’Shanter
There is TONS of rich Disney history to explore in Southern California, including the OG Disneyland Park, of course! But if you’re ready to do a deep dive into Disney lore, you may want to make at least one dining reservation outside of the resort during your next vacation. We recently visited the legendary Los Angeles steakhouse Tam O’Shanter, a favorite spot of Walt Disney himself, AND the place where he and his animators discussed their ideas for some of the most iconic animated films of all time!
Disney World has been going through a LOT of change in recent years, including permanently closing restaurants, shows, and attractions to make way for new offerings, like Monstropolis and the Tropical Americas.
RIP DINOSAUR
And Disney fans don’t think it’s going to stop there. We recently took to our Facebook to ask, “We wanna know, what rides are YOU convinced are going to close next? 🤨,” and you all had some interesting predictions!
Wizardry has made its way to Target, but we’re not complaining! Target is celebrating 25 years of Harry Potter magic with a limited-edition collection that you can only find THERE! You can find both general film and house-specific merchandise in this collection!

You know that feeling when you’ve been eating fries and DOLE whips for four days straight in Disney World, and your body decides you desperately need a vegetable? Yeah, I’ve been there too.
Cobb Salad
It’s likely the combination of lots of fried food, being out in the elements all day, and the 20K steps you’re clocking in each park, but at some point, your body is probably going to beg you for some vitamins. Well, if you have found yourself in that spot, congratulations — I’ve got the solution for you!

One of our favorite Disney World hotel perks is set to return once again in January, and we can’t wait to hit up Magic Kingdom and EPCOT after dark!

Hold onto your hats, friends, because something brand NEW just dropped at Universal Studios Hollywood!
Universal Studios Hollywood
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift has now been open for a few months and has been a major hit, and while we did see it (sort of) added to Express Pass, that’s not the change we’re talking about. If you love visiting the parks as many times as you can, but don’t want to pay each time, you’ve likely got an Annual Pass. Now, there’s a NEW Annual Pass that has just arrived that you need to know about!
