food IS a theme park
May is here and we think you could use a deal!
Disney Merch
Ready to add some magic to your shopping cart? We’ve discovered some Disney-themed items on Amazon that are sure to delight any fan!
How many of you are loving pet owners? (And that includes being both pet owners who love their pets…and people who love people who are pet owners…that’s OK too.)
Slinky Dog Dash
Either way, you should know that Disney and pets keep finding their way back to each other! There are ways you can bring your dog to Disney World with you (but it may cost you a pretty penny), and you probably know there’s TONS of Disney pet merchandise we see as well. But it also seems that many Florida residents name their beloved four-legged friends after Disney characters!
You may have hopped on the Disney World monorail, Spaceship Earth, or Peter Pan’s Flight dozens of times — but on how many of those occasions have you sat back and thought “Hmm. I wonder how and when this ride was last inspected?”
Disney World
Perhaps you’ve thought about it once or twice, or maybe it’s never even crossed your mind. You’re at Disney World, where the false sense of security is STRONG (until you hit a technical issue that requires an evacuation, maybe). Even if you’ve never considered just how the Mouse uses his mouseketools to ensure the attractions you love are in tip-top shape, it seems others have — namely, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature. Over the past few weeks, some major talk has come up about changing how Disney World’s rides are inspected and how the monorail is evaluated for its safety. Now, we’re taking a look at some of the unique things this discussion has revealed and just how things could be changing soon.
How are you celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary?!
Disney World
The festivities have made their way to Disneyland and Disney World — from treats to decor to, of course, merch, Disney is celebrating in true Disney fashion. And soon, we’ll have another reason to celebrate because the latest Disney 100 collection will be here soon!
Something NEW is starting to pop up in more and more Disney World hotels and you need to know about it.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
Disney World hotels have changed quite a bit over the past few months from the return of free overnight hotel parking for guests to hotel restaurant menu overhauls and other adjustments. But now we’ve started to see something else happening in the resorts.
Okay, admit it, do you start singing “Circle of Life” the minute you see the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? It’s totally okay, because SAME.
Animal Kingdom
There’s just something special about this park where we can explore the time of the dinosaurs, but also see real animals on a safari. We can even be entertained by the amazing Festival of the Lion King show and more! But what’s been going on with Animal Kingdom recently? Well, let’s find out?
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations are officially over, and we’re just a little bit nostalgic.
50th Anniversary Banner
After all, it was 18 months of special entertainment, EARidescent merchandise, and more blue food coloring in snacks than Disney World had probably ever seen. What a time to be alive! But now that the celebrations are over and Disney has moved on to the 100th Anniversary, one of our readers spotted something interesting.
You could outgrow the souvenir toys and the T-shirts, but you’ll never outgrow a photograph of yourself and your loved ones in front of fan-favorite Disney attractions and park icons.
Cinderella Castle
This makes Disney’s PhotoPass service a fan-favorite route to get tons of souvenirs that last a lifetime: photos! PhotoPass photographers are stationed at TONS of locations throughout the Disney parks, ready to scan your MagicBand or ticket and snap a photo of you and your crew — which will then link to your Disney account. These photos are taken with professional cameras and the PhotoPass Cast Members are trained to pose you and your group so that everyone is in the frame and looking great. Sometimes, you’ll even be able to use special props! Photo packages are available that allow you to purchase single photos, certain photos per day, and even Memory Maker, which allows you to download ALL of the photos that are taken throughout your vacation.

While we’re waiting to get confirmation on Disney World’s 4th of July fireworks plans and learn about all the 4th of July snacks we’ll get to eat, we’re also looking for other ways to celebrate Independence Day.
