food IS a theme park
Some essentials you can grab on Amazon can literally save a Disney World vacation.
LACOVIA Mini Fan
If you’ve ever lost your mind trying to deal with the heat during a Disney World day, you’re definitely not alone. Trust us — we’ve gone through it. However, our lives changed forever when we picked up a certain personal fan from Amazon — and now we absolutely swear by it. Take a look!
It’s time to get scary… and scared! Halloween Horror Nights has officially arrived at Universal Orlando, and we are THERE on the very first night. Of course, we’re checking out all the haunted houses, but more importantly, we’re checking out all the food.
Meat Grinder Red Velvet
Halloween Horror Nights runs on select nights in August, September, and October through November 1st at Universal Studios Florida, and the event features exclusive food and drinks you can’t get at the parks during the day. So let’s talk about everything we ate and drank at the party!
If you’re a Loungefly lover, chances are you probably have a pretty solid collection going.
Loungefly bags in EPCOT
But if you’re looking for a new Loungefly bag that you won’t see all around the parks, our favorite place to shop is on Amazon. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Loungefly bags on Amazon if you don’t want to wear the same park bag everyone else has in Disney World!
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando has a reputation for bringing the scares to those people brave enough to buy a ticket to the event. Thanks to its themed haunted houses, scare zones, and scare actors just waiting to make people scream, some folks might be a little too afraid to actually give the event a chance, which is understandable.
Deathly Afraid Lanyard
The thing is… there actually IS more to Halloween Horror Nights than being terrified, and for those who want to experience the event without the jump scares and scare actors in their face, there’s an option to avoid that: the Deathly Afraid lanyard. We tested out the Deathly Afraid Lanyard to see if it actually works.
Both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash have kicked off at Disney, so it’s officially spooky season! And what’s a better way to celebrate than some new Disney merch?

Disney just released a TON of new Disney merch online, and it’s taking us some SERIOUS self-control not to buy all of these new souvenirs. Our wallets are officially crying over this DisneyStore drop!
Well, we’ve certainly had our share of Disney World food this week, thanks to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which runs through November 21st. In case you missed our coverage of the festival, you can read our reviews of all the food booths here, and even see what our fave food and drinks were here!
Fright Flight from Splitsville
But don’t worry! We haven’t forgotten about the other food and drinks you can get at Disney World restaurants, and we’re constantly keeping an eye on restaurant menus. So let’s talk about how some of those menus changed this week.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. If it feels overwhelming, we totally get it, and that’s why we’re here to help.
Yachtsman Steakhouse Desserts
We recently stopped by Yachtsman Steakhouse as Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, which just recently reopened after a months-long closure, to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth after its recent refurbishment? Let’s find out!
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters, Inc. Land, and more.
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information and news! That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. Let’s dive into the latest and greatest Disney news from Sunday, August 23rd to Saturday, August 29th, 2026.
Halloween Horror Nights is OFFICIALLY underway at Universal Orlando, and this year’s collection of haunted houses is ready to deliver thrills, chills, and plenty of screams.
Halloween Horror Nights
From shorter waits on select attractions to exclusive menu items, 10 haunted houses, and five scare zones, this separately ticketed after-hours event is packed with thrills around every corner. You KNOW we had to experience EVERYTHING Halloween Horror Nights has to offer, especially the haunted houses! Come inside every house with us to see what you’ll be getting yourself into!
There are plenty of reasons to buy a ticket to EPCOT After Hours. Shorter waits for rides? Yes. Fewer people standing between us and another spin on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? Absolutely. Included Mickey Bars? We have never been known to turn down ice cream. But if you’re planning to attend EPCOT After Hours, there’s one reservation we’re making before we start strategizing our ride order.
France Pavilion
Dinner. At 7 PM. That might seem like a strange way to begin an event that’s largely about squeezing as much as possible into a few very expensive hours. But hear us out, because eating dinner right when you enter EPCOT might actually help you get MORE out of your After Hours ticket.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
