After a long day in EPCOT, we were heading out towards the front of the park when we saw two very familiar princesses who made us stop and smile. No, it wasn’t an official meet-and-greet location, and you couldn’t find it listed on the app — it was a pure, magical stop that made our day so much better.
It’s hard to believe that summer is flying right by us in Disney World, and it will soon be August, and where did the time go? It seems like we were just enjoying the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival and spring, but soon, we’ll be ushering in fall, which means all things pumpkin spice and the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
Well, that’s not the only change happening in EPCOT in August 2026. So let’s take a look at next month in EPCOT!
As major Disney fans, we look forward to a lot of dates and events throughout the year. From the start of the holiday season on the first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to the opening of every EPCOT festival, there is a lot happening around Disney Parks that keeps us excited every day.

Another week in Disney World means another week of eating our way around Disney World. This week, we had a chance to check out a delicious cotton candy-inspired cake, eat some flavorful popcorn, and dine at a restaurant we’d leave Disney World to check out.

While we were doing all that, though, we were keeping our eyes on Disney World restaurant menus because they change…a lot. So let’s take a look at all the changes we spotted at Disney World restaurants this week. Word of warning: one popular Disney Springs restaurant just got some price hikes!
Moana is one of the most popular Disney movies of the past decade. The franchise has 1.5 billion hours streamed on Disney+, 22 million toys sold, and 26 billion music streams. The original film brought in a whopping $684 million at the worldwide box office, and its sequel crossed the $1 billion mark globally.

But despite the Wayfinder’s popularity, the new live-action Moana has only earned $43 million at the U.S. box office in its first weekend. For reference, the animated Moana earned $56 million in its opening weekend back in 2016, not adjusted for inflation. Since Moana is one of the most popular Disney characters of the past decade, why did the live-action remake flop?
On our recent visited Dollywood, we tested out their skip-the-line service, TimeSaver, and we learned there are some rules you need to know!
Welcome to Dollywood!
If you’re planning a trip to Dollywood, there’s a good chance you’ll spend more time enjoying rides than standing in line, especially if you visit on a less crowded weekday. During our recent Wednesday visit, the park was wonderfully quiet, and we barely had to wait for anything. But that’s not always the case. Weekends, holidays, and other peak travel periods can bring some seriously long queues, which is where Dollywood’s skip-the-line service, TimeSaver, can make a huge difference. Before you decide whether it’s worth the extra cost, though, there are a few unusual rules you’ll want to know.
