food IS a theme park
We are at the first night of Jollywood Nights 2024!
Jollywood Nights
We are so excited to bring you along with us as we check out the holly dazzle of this fashionable holiday event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! There’s ice skating, dancing, singing, rides, drinks, food, and so much more. But one thing that’s got us extra excited is all the new characters you can meet at this specially ticketed event!
In a little over a month, Disney will switch gears from spooky season to the festive holidays!

That means we’ll go from pumpkins to Christmas trees all around the parks and hotels. Disney has two special holiday events — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Jollywood Nights was a new event in 2023, and it is returning this year with even more new entertainment and merchandise. We wish we didn’t have to wait until November to enjoy this holiday party. But luckily, we got an early sneak peek!
Do you like character meet-and-greets at Disney World?
Chip and Dale in Dinoland!
It’s always tons of fun when you get to meet your favorite characters and have a fun conversation with them! Disney brings them from the big screen to real life, and it’s always so exciting. Most recently, we’ve even gotten to meet some of our biggest heroes from Marvel comics and movies. Most of these Marvel characters are over in Disney California Adventure on the West Coast, but now a popular Guardian is dancing his way around EPCOT!
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because it has dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!

I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on a fan-favorite character coming to EPCOT, a Disney Springs store finally reopening after a month-long closure, and a popular special ticketed event getting completely sold out! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
If you have a Disney Visa card, you’re probably already aware of some of the perks card membership offers.

First, you can get discounts on shopping in both Disney World and Disneyland. You can get discounts on some food, too (that’s one of our favorite perks, obviously). You can even sometimes score a discount on Disney vacations if you use your card to book your trip! However, one perk you might not know about is the exclusive character meet and greet opportunities in Disney World and Disneyland, and now a NEW one is available for Disney Visa cardholders.
One of the most fun things you can do in Disneyland is meet characters!

Now, Disneyland characters are NEXT LEVEL in Disneyland, and you’ll often just see them roaming around. Some also have set meet-and-greet spots, but there are almost always surprise character appearances, too. Well, we recently learned about some brand NEW characters coming to Disneyland, and we had an opportunity to meet one of them recently: Isabela from Encanto!
One of the most fun things you can do in a Disney park is meet the characters! Whether that’s through a meet and greet or you see a character wandering around or you see characters during a character dining experience, it’s always a real TREAT when you come across them.

Now, when it comes to characters, we don’t think you can beat the interactions in Disneyland because the resort is adding new characters ALL the time. Well, now, two NEW characters are coming to Disneyland and we think you’ll want to book a flight to the West Coast to meet them.
There are so many things to do in Disney World besides just riding rides!
Spaceship Earth
From incredible shows and fireworks to interactive exhibits, Disney really has it all! And one of the most popular things to do in the parks is to meet your favorite Disney characters. Recently, Disney asked us a rather interesting question about character meet and greets.
Pretty sure y’all have been waiting for this one…because I definitely have!! You might discount Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but I am here to tell you that YOU SHOULD NOT. This park is magical, y’all, and I’m going to prove it to you today!
Animal Kingdom
I’ve always known that Disney’s Animal Kingdom is amazing, stupendous, incredible, insert-other-great-adjectives here. But now, I wanna make sure YOU know it, too! While many folks tend to write this park off as a half-day-er (which can be understandable, since it has fewer attractions than its three older sibling parks), you can EASILY fill a full day here, just by tracking down the AWESOME things we’re gonna talk about today!

One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is meeting characters!
Loveable Pooh
We always have so much fun interacting with the characters, whether that be during character dining experiences or at their official meet-and-greet spots in the parks. We’ve even collected character autographs on birthday cards and water bottles (which we think is genius, by the way). Now, though, we spotted a NEW character joining an existing meet and greet and WE ARE SO EXCITED. Could this be a permanent change, or was it a one-day surprise? We’re keeping our fingers crossed this new friend is here to stay!
