food IS a theme park

It was just officially announced that Southwest and Chase are coming together to bring customers the first-ever airport lounge network. The lounges will show up at four airport locations to start, and construction is already underway.
Although we were very sad to say goodbye to Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios when we closed, we are legitimately excited about what’s taking its place: Monstropolis. For the first time ever, Disney is bringing Monsters, Inc. to life through a new land in a theme park, and we can’t wait to see what the new land has in store.

Of course, you know us — we’re even MORE excited about eating in the new land, and couldn’t be more thrilled that Disney decided to bring Harryhausen’s from the Monsters, Inc. movie to life, complete with the monster sushi chef from that film. Well, we just got a close look at the animatronic sushi chef you’ll see in the restaurant, and let’s just say our minds are BLOWN.
The perfect bag charm for a day at Disney World does exist, and it’s on Amazon!

It’s almost advent calendar time!

We love opening up those tiny little boxes that count us down to the holidays, and we love it even more when it’s LEGO. Personally, I had a LEGO advent calendar every year growing up, and I love that they’re still popular and part of many families’ traditions. We found three LEGO advent calendars that we think will be loved by everyone this holiday season that you have to check out.
New McDonald’s Happy Meal toys are on the way, and we’re lovin’ it!
McDonald’s at Disney World
We never thought we would see a SpongeBob Squarepants and One Piece collab, but here we are! Fans of the popular Nickelodeon show and fans of the iconic anime will be running to McDonald’s to collect new Happy Meal toys very soon.
Believe it or not, 2027 is almost upon us, and many guests are already planning their Universal Orlando trips for next year.

If that’s you, you should take a look at Universal’s refurbishment calendar before deciding on dates, as we already know of some 2027 ride closures across the resort’s theme parks.
Everyone who’s been to Epic Universe has an opinion on which ride is the BEST of them all, but we’re here to settle the score in today’s ULTIMATE Epic ride ranking video.

Disney’s BoardWalk is one of our favorite resorts to visit at Disney World. From the food to the shopping to the vibes, we find ourselves here time and time again, although things haven’t felt quite the same since Jellyrolls closed.
Hurly-Burly
It’s been over a year since the duelling piano bar closed at Boardwalk, and as much as we love the resort, we felt like it needed something for nightlife. Well, the Boardwalk is undergoing a massive change, adding new shopping, dining, and entertainment locations! One thing we’re specifically excited about is the new lounge, Hurly-Burly. However, did you notice the small detail Disney mentioned about it?
Another permanent closure is coming to Universal Orlando, and this time, we’re pretty disappointed.
Animal Actors Live On Stage!
Universal has announced quite a few closures recently, and while some are for renovations or reimagining, this one is a permanent closure, which means we’re saying goodbye to another attraction.
We love a lot of things at Disney World, but we REALLY love Disney World transportation. We know that, compared to Mickey pretzels and meeting our favorite princesses, transportation might not seem like our favorite thing, but we love how magical it feels!
Skyliner at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
What we don’t love are closures! But these closures help keep everything running smoothly for the future, so it’s a price we’re willing to pay. A closure has been announced for 2027 and 2028, which could affect which resort you want to stay at.
