food IS a theme park
We’ve got some exciting news from Disney Springs!

We’ve been checking out all the new Valentine’s Day treats arriving this month, and now there’s another special offering you can grab this weekend — a new corkcicle from Wine Bar George!
We hate to be the bearer of bad news… but today our reminder to you is not so magical.
Less than magical…
If you start your day off with the caffeinated magic sold on Main Street, U.S.A. (or any other Starbucks) you’ll want to pay attention! If you frequent Starbucks often, you probably use the Starbucks app which doubles as a rewards program. These rewards have been awesome in the past, allowing customers to collect stars and get food and drinks for free!
Although this is Disney World’s calm before the storm (the storm being spring break crowds), there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks right now!

TRON Lightcycle / Run is now in previews with its first-of-a-kind Disney ride feature, adaptive seating, and on-ride photos. The Festival of the Arts is still happening in EPCOT (even though it’s almost over!). There are plenty of new delicious eats to try all over Disney World. Maybe that’s why we started to see the wait times go UP this week!
Today was a BIG day for us — we got to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run for the first time!
TRON Loading Area
This ride officially opens to the public on April 4th, but Cast Member previews and media previews are currently happening, with Annual Passholder previews coming up. We got to take our first ride today, and now we have a WHOLE ride-through for you!
With so many new designs coming out each week, it’s hard to resist purchasing a new pair of Minnie Ears whenever you spot a design that calls to you.
100th Anniversary ears!
That is why when there’s a sale going on, we hop on the chance to check those items off of our wish list!
Okay, so who’s excited to ride the new TRON Lightcycle / Run in Disney World?

Magic Kingdom’s newest ride is one of its most thrilling, with a super fast launch, a race through the Grid, and fun TRON details that make you feel immersed in the world of the Tron movies! Well, we just got a chance to ride it and we’re going to tell you EVERYTHING about the ride and, hopefully, answer any questions you may have!
We’re always scoping out great viewing locations for fireworks at Walt Disney World. When your day ends in the Magic Kingdom, it’s a fan tradition to stay for the magical fireworks.
Playing until April 2, 2023, Disney Enchantment is a fireworks and projection show that debuted as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. While the show focuses on the park’s centerpiece — Cinderella Castle, the projections actually go ALL the way down Main Street, U.S.A.). We can’t wait for Happily Ever After to return to Magic Kingdom on April 3, 2023 with all-new projections!
It’s a great display!
We want to share some of our favorite fireworks spots at Magic Kingdom. After all, at the end of a Magic Kingdom day you just might be too tired to strategize, and that’s why we encourage you to plan ahead.
Can you believe it’s almost time for TRON to debut?!
TRON
TRON Lightcycle / Run officially opens in Magic Kingdom on April 4th, 2023, but Disney is hosting previews for select groups of people. We’ve seen teaser after teaser and we’ve been watching the construction for years, but it is TIME — we got to ride TRON!
If you’re a big Disney fan, you’ve probably noticed that the company is leaning pretty heavily into its intellectual property at the moment.
Cinderella Castle
They’re relying on big brands and franchises like Star Wars and Marvel to carry the Disney+ streaming service, and they’re bringing films like Moana, Frozen, and Guardians of the Galaxy prominently into the parks. And most of the time, we understand WHY they choose to feature the films that they do…but there’s one film that Disney CEO Bob Iger has mentioned frequently that we’re a little confused about.
Disney World is known as the most magical place on earth, so it’s no wonder even celebrities will face the crowds to experience it.
Cinderella Castle
Stars from Ariana Grande to Chris Evans and tons of stars in between have been known to head to Disney World from time to time — and today we saw a MAJOR celebrity walking around Magic Kingdom!
