food IS a theme park
Disney World? FUN! Unexpected costs? Not so much.
Don’t be fooled by those hidden costs!
Today, we’re EXPOSING the hidden Disney World costs that YOU’RE overlooking (to make sure they’re NOT gonna go under your radar ANY longer).
According to multiple sources, including Deadline, Disneyland Resort has laid off about 100 Cast Members.

These Cast Members were from multiple departments and include “a limited number of salaried positions.”
Have you been wondering when Magic Kingdom’s new snack spot might open? We recently learned that Cool Ship has permanently closed in Tomorrowland, but it’s being replaced by a new snack stand called AstroFizz.

AstroFizz will be serving up popcorn, churros, and drinks, but Disney didn’t confirm an opening date for the new dining spot. HOWEVER, Disney did sort of already confirm when it would be open…and that is by November 7th. We’ll tell you why we think this.
Disney+ is growing once again. Disney’s Hulu + Live TV business will now include content from FuboTV Inc., thanks to a new deal. The partnership combines Fubo’s business with Disney’s Hulu + Live TV business.

FuboTV Inc. and The Walt Disney Company announced they have closed a transaction to combine Fubo and Hulu + Live TV. This deal creates the sixth-largest Pay TV company in the U.S, with nearly 6 million subscribers in North America. Fubo and Hulu + Live TV customers will now be able to watch over 55,000 live sporting events, along with “entertainment-focused programming offerings.”
I’m a sucker for seasonal decorations at theme parks. There’s just something so beautiful about seeing a park I know and love, with twinkling lights and garland, turned into a winter wonderland, despite being in Orlando, Florida.
Ready for the holidays!
This is our first winter season with Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest addition, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic just got a festive makeover with the flick of a wand.
Every snack at Magic Kingdom has its fans, but not every treat can be a Dole Whip or a Mickey Pretzel!

So we decided to take one for the team and try the three least-ordered snacks in Magic Kingdom. We gave each one a fair chance to prove whether they deserve more love or see if their low sales might be justified. Here’s what we found!
One of the best souvenirs Star Wars fans can get in Disney World is a lightsaber from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re getting it from Savi’s Workshop, it’s not just a purchase…it’s an EXPERIENCE.

Nothing beats walking out of the park as a brand-new Jedi, lightsaber in hand. While the experience of getting a new lightsaber is amazing, there are some issues that come up after you purchase it. You don’t know the struggle until you’ve had to carry an unwieldy lightsaber through the park for the rest of the day trying to figure out how to get it on rides. It can also be a hassle carrying it around in the airport (but, at least it qualifies as a carry-on item on the plane).
