Since the Magic Kingdom opened over 50 years ago, Disney World’s first theme park has become one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the world. However, along with that has always come crowds!
As anyone who has visited the “Most Magical Place on Earth” pretty much any time since 1971 can attest, the park is pretty much always crowded, which can sometimes make the park tough to navigate. That’s only been exacerbated by the two massive construction projects happening in the Frontierland area: the Cars-themed Piston Peak located on the former site of the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island, as well as prep-work for Villains Land in the area beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Disney World just dropped a ton of big holiday announcements. We got dates and more details about this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas in Magic Kingdom, as well as dates and details about Jollywood Nights in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We even got some specifics about this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
There were SO many announcements, but at the same time, one was missing, and has been missing for a while. So we’re going to have to talk about it: Is Cinderella Castle Dream Lights gone forever?
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
NEW Toy Story 5-inspired treats have landed at Disney World, so of course, we had to try them — and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Are they worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
We’ve all been there — you turn your bedroom into a Disney resort to cure the Disney blues after coming back from your most recent Disney World vacation.

But there’s one thing that’s missing…those most comfortable pillows that help you sleep like a rock after that long park day. Good news! We FOUND them online AND they’re on sale!
A MAJOR change is coming to an iconic Magic Kingdom attraction, and with it, the way many Magic Kingdom guests spend their afternoons.
In 2025, Disney announced that Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress — the legendary animatronic stage show that has been operating in one form or another since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair — would be getting a massive update. Initially, all that was confirmed was that the show would include a Walt Disney animatronic in the introduction, similar to the one seen on Disneyland’s Main Street. However, this spring Disney revealed that their plans were much grander than a simple pre-show.
After months of waiting, the time has almost arrived! LEVEL99 will officially open in Disney Springs on June 29th.
We are so excited to experience this all-new interactive game facility EARLY, and of course, we are bringing you all along as we explore everything LEVEL99 has to offer! [Read more…]
The Queen of Nashville is going to give a popular gas station a run for its money! Dolly Parton has just opened Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, and we think it’s going to give Bucc-ee’s some stiff competition.
For decades, the Tennessean Travel Stop has been a place where the road gets a little easier. A trusted stop for truckers logging long miles, families making memories, and neighbors looking for somewhere good to land, and now that Dolly has lent her heart and vision to the gas station, we have a feeling it’s going to be pretty popular!

Next year will feature even more change — which means our tried-and-true Disneyland traditions will have to change in 2027.
