The Disney Adventure is getting ready to take its maiden voyage from Singapore, and we’re excited to hop on board and explore the entire ship! The design of this boat is unlike any other in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, including 7 different themed areas with beautiful scenery. How do we know they’re beautiful? Because Disney just shared a sneak peek!
Isn’t it frustrating when you visit Disney World, and things are closed? Yep, it seems like Disney World is just nothing but a sea of construction now, especially with all the construction happening in Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Even Disney World hotels are under construction, with some getting new lobbies and rooms.

However, regular closures for maintenance are also still happening at Disney World hotels, and that often means pool closures. Well, we’ve got a pool closure and water play area closure to warn you about.
It’s certainly no secret that moms keep Disney trips running smoothly — but sometimes, even they need a little bit of help!

Where else can you go and live out your best video game fantasies by stepping into the games that have been loved by generations?

If there’s one thing we know about Disney parents, it’s that the thought of losing a child in the parks is the stuff of nightmares.
EPCOT crowds
With thousands of guests packed into Disney World on any given day, the crowds are real, and the chaos is real. But one Disney World feature is doing some seriously heavy lifting in the safety department, and a recent comment on one of our posts stopped us in our tracks.
Each year, the EPCOT Festivals feature ‘additional locations’ — year-round EPCOT restaurants or kiosks that join the festival to serve up one or two special items. Come along with us as we check out some of this year’s bonus spots!
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to some of this year’s additional locations to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!
You’ll never totally avoid crowds at Disney World, but some kinds of crowding are just straight up RIDICULOUS.
A busy day in Hollywood Studios
Is common courtesy dying at the Disney Parks? Maybe, but that’s a conversation for another day. However, there’s one trend happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that’s so annoying, we have no choice but to call it out. We’re, of course, talking about the “aisle lice” problem. Crowding at Hollywood Studios is bound to happen, but there is an unnecessary form of crowding called “aisle lice” that serves absolutely no purpose.
We just went to a VERY special event in Disneyland — it’s a NEW after-hours event that’s only happening TWICE this year!
We’re celebrating 70 years in Disneyland!
We checked out Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites, a special new after-hours event that we’ve been looking forward to for weeks. There’s SO much to experience at this event, like meet and greets with ultra rare characters, check out special merchandise, and, of course, snack on some exclusive offerings. Is the food really worth spending time on, though, when the event is already so rare? Don’t worry, we tried out a few of the options, so you know what to expect!
