food IS a theme park
Disney World is currently in the process of changing a LOT of things, big and small, around their parks. Some changes have been explicitly announced, some are more under-the-radar.
Grand Floridian Monorail station construction
But today we’re gonna talk about how ALL of these changes are gonna shake up the way we do the parks from here on out.
If you’re planning a Disney World trip, you’re probably thinking a LOT about your hotel, from the room size and transportation to dining and pools. If you only choose your resort for the pool, then Disney’s newest hotel will be your new favorite place to stay.

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge boasts so many pools themed after some iconic Disney movies. While the resort won’t open until July 1st, 2027, we just got a close-up look at the pools under construction!
If you spend enough time reading comments from Disney World hotel guests, you start to notice a theme. The beds? Debatable. The latest room design? Everyone has an opinion. But one complaint follows Disney Resort guests around with remarkable consistency: the noise.
This room is missing something
People hear kids running down hallways. Doors slamming. Toilets flushing. Conversations next door. Families coming back from Magic Kingdom at midnight. Families leaving for Early Entry when you would prefer that 6:15 AM not exist on vacation. And every time Disney refurbishes another hotel, it feels reasonable to ask the same question: Can they PLEASE fix the soundproofing while they’re in there? Unfortunately, that is much harder than changing the carpet.
Have you recovered yet from all the big news Disney dropped in August? We’re still wrapping our minds around the chaos — I mean Disco Yeti is coming back from the dead?!?
Candlelight Processional
While September was notably lighter regarding news (there was no way it wasn’t going to be), we still did get some major announcements! Around this time of the year, our attention primarily turns to the Halloween season and all the fun that ensues at the Disney Parks and hotel resorts. However, that doesn’t mean we aren’t peeking ahead to the holiday season. It’s hard not to — especially when Disney makes a major announcement about a celebrity event at the annual EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!
If you’re at Disney World craving coffee, you’ll probably head to one of the Starbucks locations in the parks. But dozens of Disney World coffees might even be better than Starbucks, and they’re hiding at the resorts!
Biscoff Latte
Several Disney World hotels have their own specialty coffees if you know where to look, and we headed over to Coronado Springs to check out a latte that has a LOT of people talking — the Biscoff Latte!

We should be enjoying the spooky season, but it’s hard when Disney keeps getting us excited for the holidays! We can just imagine strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with a festive treat in hand, taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells that the holidays at Disney Parks have to offer.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
We love visiting the Disney Parks during the holiday season because of all the Christmas cookies, the holiday music, and special meets with Santa Claus. We’ve been putting together our Christmas plans lately, and now it’s time to get those calendars out once again, because meal dates at the Disneyland Resort and info have officially dropped.
It always happens around this time of the year. Disney starts raising prices on just about everything, including Disney World and Disneyland park tickets, Disney World Annual Passes, Disneyland Magic Key Passes, food, drinks, and more. We usually know to expect price increases with the parks around the beginning of October.

Well, ahead of all those price increases this year, Disney is also raising prices for its streaming services, so if you’re subscribed to Disney+ or any of its bundles, it’s about to get pricier, according to Deadline.

We’ve seen a LOT of travel gadgets over the years, but nothing quite like this. Weird travel pillows, tools for the oddest routines, and miniature versions of everyday items have become commonplace, but it’s safe to say that this special pair of anti-motion sickness glasses on Amazon is a first. And although they look completely outlandish, we still want a pair for ourselves.
By the time you’re done hearing about this Disney World treat, you’re going to be out of your house, buckled up in your car, and on your way to EPCOT!
What is this glorious treat?!
We traveled all the way to France to try a brand-new treat…ok, the France Pavilion in EPCOT, but we might as well have been in actual France the way that this tasted. Secretly, we want to have all of these to ourselves, but we’re going to be strong and not gatekeep so you can try this!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
