food IS a theme park
Universal Orlando had a MASSIVE 2025 thanks to the opening of Epic Universe and its three corresponding hotels.
Universal Orlando
However, we’re not sure if there’s enough to carry the resort’s momentum through 2026.
Spring is just around the corner, and we are on the hunt for some bright colors to usher in the new season.

We’re hoping to avoid florals for spring (ground breaking, we know), and luckily for us, Stoney Clover Lane is here to save the day. The popular brand has partnered with Disney again to drop a new colorful collection that we just know is going to brighten up your day!
If you’ve ever wondered where to get a good burger in Universal Orlando, you’re not alone! We love heading to CityWalk’s Burger King Whopper Bar for our custom, one-of-a-kind burger at an affordable price.

Sometimes, we just want the juicy, greasy burger of our dreams, no park ticket required! So we were thrilled to find out that Universal Orlando will get a new Five Guys location – but it comes at a cost: Burger King Whopper Bar will be closing soon!
If Starbucks exists on planets like Tatooine, Naboo, and Hoth, then this is definitely the tumbler that everyone is using out there!
Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Starbucks just dropped a brand-new tumbler that every Star Wars fan will want to get their hands on. Plus, there’s a whole Star Wars Endor collection available on the online Disney Store! We would say to trust the force in your decision to buy these items, but as soon as you lay your eyes on them, you’ll just know you won’t be able to resist the power of the spending money side.
Can you hear us hooting and hollaring? Because we are shouting from the rooftops about the fact that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is finally reopening!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
After over a YEAR of waiting, the popular coaster is finally reopening in Magic Kingdom! Big openings like this one bring about excitement, crowds, and (without a doubt) changes. We’re breaking down some of the new rules and procedures we might see once the ride finally reopens.
Hurricane season in Disney World can often cause more harm than good, especially considering storms can shut down outdoor Disney World rides, and hurricanes and tropical storms as a whole can shut down the parks if the threat is great enough (it’s rare, but it’s happened!).
Storm season!
It’s also important to remember that there’s hurricane season, AND a rainy season, and while they’re not the same thing, they often coincide with each other. Hurricane season officially runs from June 1st through November 30th, while the rainy season happens to be most of the summer. If you’re traveling to Disney World during this time, we 100% recommend bringing a poncho or umbrella with you to use every day, even if there isn’t rain in the forecast, because it can change on a dime! It looks like we’ve got some potentially good news, though, from Colorado State University’s Seasonal Hurricane Forecasting — it’s possible this season could be LESS activity than normal.
Progress is continuing with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster has a new look!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed earlier this year, on March 2nd, to make way for a new version of the ride featuring The Muppets. Immediately after the ride’s closure, Disney wasted no time making changes to the exterior, and that work has been progressing quickly!
Heads up, Amazon shoppers, each week, we scour Amazon to find the latest Disney merchandise and steepest Disney deals.

Champagne on Main Street, drone shows, and ROBO OLAF. Disneyland Paris Just expanded and opened a whole new land – and we were there!!
Frozen Ever After
We’re here to tell you everything we learned during our last visit, as well as, what we WISH we’d known before we got there!
These days, when people think about visiting Universal Orlando, their first thought is pretty much all about Epic Universe, which makes sense because it’s still a relatively new theme park.
Universal CityWalk
However, if you’re making a trip to Universal and skipping out on CityWalk, you might be doing yourself a disservice. CityWalk is Universal’s shopping and dining district, and the best part about it is that you don’t need a ticket to visit. And soon, you’ll have even more reasons to visit CityWalk because a lot of new stuff is coming to the area!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
