food IS a theme park
It is a sea of construction in Disney World these days, especially over in Hollywood Studios!
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Hollywood Studios currently has several projects going on, like the new Walt Disney Studios Land, Monstropolis, and the secretive Project Fedora. Disney’s newest permit now has us raising our eyebrows and begging for new details!
Disney World Annual Passholders get a TON of perks around the parks and beyond. In addition to getting year-round admission to the parks, Passholders also get exclusive ride previews, merchandise, and even food and drinks!
Annual Pass
We recently stopped by FIVE different Joffrey’s locations around Disney World to snag some exclusive Annual Passholder drinks, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Are they worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Taking a voyage on the Disney Cruise Line is one of the most fun experiences this Disney adult has ever had, but there are certain things I’d wish I’d known beforehand.
Disney Wish
One of the MAJOR ones had to do with the climate in my stateroom, and it’s SO EASY to make.
Choosing a date for your Disney World vacation can be challenging, but if you’re on a tight budget, we’re here to help!
All-Star Music
The fall is a time of year when it’s notoriously a little cheaper to visit Disney World or stay in a Disney Resort. We did the research, and we’re sharing the cheapest nights to stay at a Disney hotel this fall…let’s get to planning!
I hate to break it to you, but you need Mickey ears if you’re going to Disney World soon.
Mouse Hair Clips
Now, it doesn’t have to be the traditional ear headband to get in on the magic. Wait till you see these Disney claw clips that take Mickey ears to the next level. You’re totally going to need them for your upcoming trip (and p.s. they’re on sale!).
There’s just something about Pixar movies that hits differently, which is probably why many of them have been so successful. This year has been a great year for Pixar movies, too, with the release of Hoppers, as well as Toy Story 5, which even has a new original Taylor Swift song on its soundtrack.

So what’s Pixar’s next move? Well, the company previously mentioned a feature it’s been working on called Gatto, and now, the first teaser trailer for that movie has arrived — and let’s just say that Disney fans are STOKED.
When we’re in EPCOT craving a snack, the Japan Pavilion is our go-to spot. Where else in Disney World can you get sushi, sake, and kakigōri all in one place?
A5 Wagyu Nigiri Combo
We love the quick-service stand Kabuki Cafe for a quick, authentic meal, but recently, we saw a new menu item that shook us to our core – you can now get quick-service wagyu in Disney World!
We’re in the market of trying all the “viral” items we find online that people say you need for Disney World or Disneyland trips, solely because we need to see if that’s ACTUALLY the truth, or if you can actually save some money and forgo grabbing whatever it is.
Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers
We’ve tried some “essentials” that are far from it, and we actually recommend you stay far away from them, but we’ll also be honest and say there have also been many that we DO feel are necessary, even ones that we thought would be a total waste. In fact, one of the ones we were most skeptical about was those silicone shoe covers we saw go viral on TikTok. We thought they’d be totally useless, but alas, we were proven VERY wrong.
Some big changes have hit Animal Kingdom recently, largely thanks to Bluey!
The entrance to the Wildlife Express
Bluey’s Wild World opened up at Conservation Station near the end of May, and it has been popular ever since. When it first opened, the experience required a virtual queue, but now there’s a standby line to see the Bluey show. However, that’s not the only offering out there — Jumping Junction is where you can meet some creatures native to Australia and it’s testing a big upgrade.
