food IS a theme park
I’ve got a secret to tell you. Wait, hold on… Actually, I’ve got a LOT of secrets to tell you.
Disney Springs

Carol Stein, lovingly known as Carol the Piano Lady, has come out of retirement to join the lineup of Casey’s Corner pianists at Magic Kingdom!

If you’ve flown anywhere lately, you already know that airport security can be a little confusing.
MCO TSA PreCheck
Airport security has changed dramatically over the past few years, and it can be tough to keep up. Maybe you don’t know what you’re allowed to pack. Do you still need to take your shoes off? Does your laptop need to stay in your bag? What’s the deal with ID? The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been changing the airport experience at a pretty rapid pace, and some of the biggest changes aren’t necessarily the ones you’ll hear about when you book your flight.
I know, I know — October hasn’t even started, and yet we’re already here planning for the Christmas season at Disney World!
Spiced Pear Martini
Don’t blame us, though; we’re only following Disney’s lead. Tickets have been on sale for exclusive holiday events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights for a while now, and these parties both offer a TON of holiday cheer, including special treats, entertainment, plus a whole lot more. If you’re looking to make your time even more special at one of these parties, reservations are now open for an exclusive dinner at Jollywood Nights!
We’ve all been there: you’re standing in line for a Disney World attraction, ice-cold drink in hand, when a Cast Member points to the sign that says no food or drink allowed inside. Cue the frantic chugging, or worse, the walk of shame to the nearest trash can to toss a drink you just paid $6 for.
So refreshing!
But here’s some good news for your wallet — there are a few attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where you don’t have to make that choice. Grab your drink, find a seat, and enjoy the show. Here are 3 spots where you can bring your beverage right in with you, plus where to grab a good one nearby.
If your Loungefly collection has a little room left on the shelf, BoxLunch just gave you plenty of reasons to fill it.

But by far one of the most popular choices you’ll see all over the parks are Loungefly backpacks!

It has to be the stained glass series!
