food IS a theme park
We are proud Disney Adults, and that means we might notice things that other people don’t notice. One of those things was new trash cans!
EPCOT
While it doesn’t seem very exciting to some, these small additions make us feel like the parks are getting a refresh. We saw them in EPCOT, but good news — you’re going to see more.
Thanks to the addition of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and a massive increase in the usage of EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance thanks to the Skyliner, the World Showcase’s France Pavilion — and its Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie — has gotten much busier in recent years, and it’s created an issue.
Quite the line!
Les Halles is a traditional French bakery which offers a full menu, ranging from soups and salads to fresh baguette sandwiches and pastries, as well as wine, champagne, beer, and gourmet coffees. However, one thing the eatery doesn’t offer? Mobile Order.
Happy Meals from McDonald’s are something we keep a pretty close eye on, for a number of different reasons.
McDonald’s Happy Meal
For one, there’s a McDonald’s on Disney World property, so when you’re on a trip and you want a taste of home or something that’s outside of the actual theme parks, it’s a common spot to end up. On the other hand, we’re genuinely just suckers for the Happy Meal toys that come out, because we ARE collectors and we’re not afraid to admit it! While the new Happy Meal toys aren’t Disney themed, they ARE Squishmallows, and you can bet that we’ll be collecting each and every one.
Poof! Something big has changed at Disney Springs, and it feels like a magic trick the way they just disappeared.
Disney Springs
There are SO many food options in Disney Springs that it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. Quick service? Full sit-down restaurant? Maybe just ice cream? It can be hard to choose, but now there are three fewer options.
Don’t overpay for this fun Disney World souvenir!
Moana signing autographs
It’s no surprise that you can find many souvenirs similar to the ones at the Disney Parks online for CHEAPER prices on Amazon!

Toy Story 5 is almost here! It officially debuts in the theaters on June 19th, and we’re excited to see our favorite toys back in action.
@Disney
While it hasn’t been released yet, there are already talks about box office movies, and it’s getting serious. They are shooting to infinity and beyond!
If you’re taking kids to Disney World, you’re probably thinking about which stroller to pick!
Stroller Parking
Do you go for a travel system with car seats included? Opt for a single stroller that’s lightweight and easy to fold? Or do you go full-scale double stroller to lug around all your belongings in the parks? Well, we’ve done the research and broken down some of the most popular stroller choices on Amazon. These are our findings for the BEST travel strollers for Disney World!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

If you just felt an earthquake in Central Florida, don’t worry, you weren’t hallucinating.

Packing for Disney World is its own kind of sport, and your bag is the MVP.

Between walking 10-plus miles a day, squeezing through theme park crowds, and still needing to look like a functional human being at the airport, the stakes are genuinely high. The wrong bag makes everything harder. The right one quietly handles everything you throw at it, from the security line to the boarding zone to the moment you finally collapse onto a bench in Fantasyland. Here’s the one that’s actually worth packing.
