food IS a theme park
So, if you love all things Disney, we’re already friends.
Magic Kingdom
We might be just a little biased, but Disney people really are the best! People who are always down for some nostalgia, pure joy, throwing their hands up on a roller coaster, and of course — a delicious snack to act as the cherry on top of our already great day. If this sounds like you, then we have the perfect merch for you!
Hurricane Idalia is nearing Florida, and residents are preparing now in advance of the storm’s landfall.
Storm in Hollywood Studios
The storm is expected to hit eastern Florida on Wednesday morning (August 30th), and it will pass through the state later that day. The Orange County mayor, Mayor Demings, held a press conference today (August 29th) to give an update on the county’s preparations and expectations for Hurricane Idalia.
It’s officially hurricane season in Florida and the state is experiencing its first major storm of the season.
