food IS a theme park
We are at just a little over a week until Christmas. Can you believe it?
Time for holiday shopping!
This is a busy time of year for many people, so it’s totally normal if you haven’t gotten all of your gift shopping finished quiet yet.
Can you believe NEXT WEEK is Christmas?
Hollywood Studios Christmas Decorations
Even with just a week until Christmas Eve, Disney hasn’t slowed down with their special holiday deals for anyone who needs last-minute gift ideas. Time is also running out to grab special holiday treats and drinks around the property. The closer the holiday gets means the busier Disney World gets, which is why if you’re heading into Disney Springs this weekend — BEWARE!
Rated-R films, alcohol, and gambling aren’t normally the first things people think of when they hear the word “Disney.”
Magic Kingdom
The brand is more likely to conjure up images of Mickey Mouse, animated movies, “it’s a small world,” and churros. But the world we live in now is changing all the time, and much of Disney’s past success has come from the company’s ability to adapt and change with it. You don’t get a 100-year anniversary as a company if you’re not flexible and willing to take a few risks. Let’s dive into the details of how Disney is branching out and becoming so much more than a family brand. [Read more…]
Can you believe we’re over halfway through December?!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Halloween and watching holiday decorations go up in the parks. Now, we’ve already celebrated with huge gingerbread displays, tons of holiday treats, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. With the holidays comes big crowds — so what do the wait times look like during the week before Christmas?
This year has been one of BIG change for The Walt Disney Company. Not only did we see a ton of price increases across the board at the parks, but the company’s stock started to drop after the 4th quarter earnings report came out.

Shortly after, the company announced that CEO Bob Chapek would step down and that former CEO Bob Iger would be returning to that role within the company. But someone else almost became Disney’s new CEO.
Since 1989, one Magic Kingdom ride has thrilled guests with a GIANT splash that often leaves them SOAKED but also feeling Satisfactual.
Splash Mountain
Yep, we’re talking about Splash Mountain, which will soon close FOREVER, to become a new attraction dedicated to The Princess and the Frog. So many guests are now trying to ride Splash Mountain before it closes, meaning that lines for the attraction are getting longer than ever. But we have a tip on how to ride it without long lines!
Have you been hearing some discourse lately about a certain princess named Anastasia?

Many people strongly believe that Anastasia is NOT a Disney Princess. And while she wasn’t originally, now that Disney owns 20th Century Fox (which was who produced and distributed the film Anastasia), she is under the Disney umbrella. We recently spotted her on a new mug online, and now, you can grab that same mug in Disney World right now!
When it comes to food, we’ll be the first to say that Disney World constantly delivers.
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
Sure, there are snacks we’re sick of (all that blue frosting on the 50th anniversary, y’all), snacks that got a downgrade, and some that just really aren’t our jam. But sometimes there are things we get promised that don’t quite turn out the way they’re supposed to. Today is one of those times.
Headed to Disney World soon? Before you go, you’ll want to know what’s going to be CLOSED when you get there.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World will shut down rides and attractions periodically to update them, so you may see some closures during your upcoming vacation. We’ve got a full list of next week’s planned closures so that you’re prepared before your trip! [Read more…]
We’re in the thick of the holiday season in Disney World, and there are ways to celebrate almost wherever you go!
Toy Story Land
You can check out Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, or the awesome gingerbread displays in the resorts. It’s about to be the week before Christmas, which means the parks get BUSY. So, if you’re in Disney World next week, you need to know what the hours are for the parks AND park availability. So, let’s take a look!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
