After nearly two years of speculation, the company recently confirmed several MAJOR rumored details about the land, including that it will be officially dubbed Monstroplois, set in a world following the first film, host a show in the “Glob Theater”, and – – the part that has us most excited – – be home to Harryhausen’s restaurant!
Food & Wine fans listen up! The most anticipated EPCOT festival is right around the corner, and we just got some really exciting news!
The Beach Boys
This year, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival begins on August 27th and runs for several months through November 21st. While the food and drinks are always incredible, we know that so many of you look forward to the incredible Eat to the Beat Concert Series! And Disney just revealed when Dining Packages are opening up.
This video isn’t about which Disney World hotel you WANT to stay at… It’s about which Disney World hotel you NEED to stay at.

We’re looking at each Disney World resort tier TODAY to find out WHICH hotels will best suit your specific vacation needs.
Disney Springs has seen so many changes this year! First, it was Sprinkles Cupcakes, then Francesca’s, plus Shore and Johnston & Murphy all closed. Then, two new stores were announced with Cole Haan and Vuori, and the Ghirardelli location is moving. And somehow, that’s not even all of it – a brand-new restaurant is coming to Disney Springs!
Six Ravens
Six Ravens is a fast-casual restaurant by Gideon’s Bakehouse specializing in hand pies. It will open sometime in 2026, but we have a massive update: we’ll be getting these savory treats sooner rather than later!
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming in hot!
The festival runs from August 27th to November 21st, and beyond the great food, there’s also awesome entertainment. The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is back, and just wait till you see this new lineup!
If you asked most Disney World fans to name the hardest Lightning Lane to grab in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now, a lot of them would probably shout, “Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster!” before you even finished the sentence.
Let’s ride!
And honestly, that guess makes sense. It is newly Muppets-fied, it is fast, it is loud, it has the Electric Mayhem involved, and Animal on a thrill ride is exactly the kind of chaos Disney should have been feeding us for years. But the numbers are doing something a little sneakier.
We’re pretty massive Disney fans, but that doesn’t mean we don’t check out the other theme parks. One that we’ve been loving lately has been Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

We’ve been trying lots of food, and of course checking out the rides, and one of the newest rides, NightFlight Expedition, has been high on our list to check out. Unfortunately, it seems like we’re going to have to wait a little bit longer before we’re able to climb on and ride.
We love hunting for a good Disney deal, and boy, did we find them today!

This past spring, Disney Springs started a new rule where guests using the bus system had to have a dining or hotel reservation for the resort they were going to. It was in place during a holiday weekend, likely to control the crowds and limit how many guests were able to use the free transportation and visit the hotels.

While the rule stopped shortly after the holiday, we spoke to a Cast Member at Disney Springs who said it’s coming back and there’s no plan to end it.
With Disney World being located in Florida, the theme parks see a fair share of weather, including storms and hurricanes.
It’s hurricane season!
If you’re planning a Disney World trip between June and November, there’s a real chance you’ll have to deal with a tropical storm or even a full-on hurricane. And trust me, as someone who lives here and has done Disney during hurricane season more times than I can count, there are ways to plan smart and protect your vacation.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
