If you were just in Disney World a week ago, though, rest assured, things are already looking pretty different, so let’s get you up to speed.

By Leave a Comment

We’re officially in November at Disney World, which means we’re entering the holiday season. Get ready for delicious limited-time eats and treats, festive decorations, and of course, busy crowds! If you’re heading to the parks this month knowing that it’s going to get busier, you’ve probably been wondering how much Lightning Lane is going to cost you.

REVIEW: Would You Pay $15 For A Slice Of Pie In Disney World? We Did, And We Have Thoughts.

By 2 Comments

If you’re someone who doesn’t prefer to spend a fortune on sweet treats in Disney World, we’re warning you now — this post very well may change your mind.

Pecan Pie at The Cake Bake Shop

We talk about The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk quite often, and how much we love it, but to be honest, our wallets don’t feel the same.

A new pecan pie just landed on the menu here, but is it really worth a $15 price tag? We’re finding out!

I Just Realized I’ve Been Packing the Wrong Shoes for Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Confession time: for years, I packed for Disney World like I was headed to the beach. I’m a die-hard flip-flop wearer. I’m also a self-declared shoe hater. Sneakers have always felt heavy, hot, and bulky to me, so I’d toss a pair of old lightweight Nikes in my bag “just in case” and spend most of the trip in sandals.

The shoes you pack matter

And then I’d spend most of the trip complaining about my feet. Here’s the thing nobody tells you until you’ve learned it the hard way: a day at Disney World can easily rack up ten miles of walking, plus hours of standing in lines, on hot pavement, with zero breaks. The shoes that feel fine for a quick run to the grocery store are NOT the shoes that survive EPCOT’s World Showcase loop after a full day at Magic Kingdom.
