food IS a theme park
TSA PreCheck, the array of membership programs that allow travelers to mostly skip long security lines and fly with less stress, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with frequent fliers flocking to certified enrollment programs such as CLEAR, IDEMIA, or Telos.

However, if you’re planning on dipping your toe into the waters of PreCheck, there are some important rules you NEED to be aware of.
I have the BEST DISNEY WORLD NEWS EVER!!!
Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets
We are inching closer and closer to opening a new attraction, and while it feels like I’ve been counting down for MONTHS, we are about one week away from life-changing in Hollywood Studios. Grab your band members, your most psychedelic tie-dye, and your guitars because we are moving right along!
Unpacking at a Disney World hotel should feel like the start of something great, not an immediate scramble for counter space.
BAGSMART Travel Toiletry Bag
Between multiple family members, overflowing suitcases, and a bathroom the size of a broom closet, the average hotel room can go from organized to chaotic in about ten minutes flat. The good news is that a handful of smart, affordable Amazon finds can completely change that experience, and we’ve been putting them to the test.
Things are always changing in Disney World, from rides to lands to restaurants, CHANGE is pretty much the name of the game in the parks, at the hotels, and in Disney Springs.
Drinks in Pandora
That means you’ll also find changes happening with food and drinks in Disney World, too, because restaurants are always tweaking their menus to add and remove things or change things so that they focus on seasonal ingredients. Now, we’re going to talk about the Disney World restaurant menu changes we spotted this week.

Yes, I voluntarily wake up at 2:30 AM to race throughout Disney World, and yes, I know I’m a problem.
Springtime Surprise 2026
It may not be everyone’s dream to participate in runDisney, which lets you sign up and race in Disney World before the parks open and get medals and meet characters, and yes, the early alarm clock is the absolute worst part, but for me, it’s a chance to compete against other racers and win an award or two. While a majority of people are not actually competing and are just enjoying being in the parks before they open and checking out some rare character meet and greets (and have a blast doing it), others train to place in the top three, and during runDisney 2026 Springtime Surprise Weekend, I placed in all three races — let’s talk about it.

For starters, we’ll be getting you reviews for every single festival food booth, and outline all there is to see and do at the festival, too.

Target!

If you want to keep up with that retro vibe, we also found some fun Star Wars shirts that go all the way back to the 70s and 80s with the original trilogy. Oh, and if you love Pooh…keep reading!
Soarin’ Across America officially opens in EPCOT on May 26th, and on July 2nd over at Disneyland Resort, but thanks to Cast Member previews, we’ve already gotten a chance to ride and share our thoughts with you.
Soarin’ Across America
Disney World Annual Passholder previews will take place soon on May 19th and 20th, so soon more guests will be able to experience the ride, but after sharing our experience on social media, we’ve already heard some things from fellow fans that we can’t help but agree with after riding. In fact, we’d go as far as to say that after riding only a few times, there are three major problems that have been unveiled with this new version of the ride.
As Universal’s Epic Universe celebrates its first official anniversary, many guests are still experiencing the Orlando area’s newest theme park for the first time. There are the technologically advanced rides, the perfectly themed snack options, and the souvenirs.
