food IS a theme park
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA. Hold ON. How are YOU planning on spending your money at Disney World? Or, better question — are the things you’re about to purchase actually gonna be WORTH it, or are they gonna feel like a waste once you buy them?
PUT THE CREDIT CARD DOWN!
Today, we’re showing you the things you should NEVER buy at Disney World. We’re here to SAVE YOUR MONEY, people!
Hot take ahead! Disney’s Hollywood Studios has some of the BEST rides in all of Disney World. Tower of Terror? 10/10. Toy Story Mania? A classic! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway? We know — a lot of you have some animosity toward this ride — but we still love this attraction. But the one ride that everyone seems to agree on? The BEST ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.
Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
What’s so great about this ride? Where to start?! First of all, it’s a trackless ride, so you never really know where you’re going next. Plus, it’s jam-packed with action from start to finish, and the level of detail is INSANE. Let’s just say that this ride is popular for a reason, okay? And after riding this attraction HUNDREDS of times, we’ve come up with some tips. Let’s talk about it!
Just a short walk or monorail stop from Magic Kingdom is Disney’s Contemporary Resort, which has amazing meal options like Steakhouse 71 (home to one of our favorite brunches) and California Grill (featuring a rooftop patio with fireworks views!). But we’re not here to talk about those popular restaurants today. Instead, we’re visiting a hidden gem at Bay Lake Tower — the Cove Bar at the pool!
Cove Bar
Cove Bar is located right by the pool at Bay Lake Tower and offers specialty cocktails, beer, wine, wraps, and salads. If you’re staying at the resort, we recommend grabbing a bite and enjoying the sunshine! Let’s take a peek at the menu, shall we?
There are many ways to get to Disney World after you’ve finished planning your vacation. Although many Disney World visitors fly into Orlando International Airport, others choose to drive to the resort from their home or rent a car from the airport to drive to the resort.
Driving to Disney World?
Now, we’ve already talked about renting a car to drive around Disney World, as well as keeping you updated on what it’s like driving around the resort, as well as the parking situation. But according to NPR, there’s a scam you might need to know about if you ARE driving to Disney World, and it’s called “smishing.”
As much as I want to be calm, cool, and collected…I’m not. One day, I’m bouncing around all day in Disney World, jumping from place to place to cram in as much as possible. The next, I’m taking it slow and spending the whole day getting snacks and riding the PeopleMover. I’m getting out of line at the bus stop when I get impatient. I’m searching around for dining reservations on the My Disney Experience app constantly. To sum it up? Things can get a little chaotic inside my mind. It keeps things interesting, right?
Magic Kingdom
I hope I’m not alone here, but I have a confession: my chaotic brain has approved some risky decisions in Disney World. I may not be breaking any rules, but I have done some chaotic things with MagicBands in Disney World, and it’s time to tell my story. For all you Disney fans out there who are constantly running late to your next reservation, can’t keep track of the park hours to save your life, and go HARD on vacation, this one’s for YOU.
When sweet treat o’clock hits, we’re running to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
The BoardWalk has some of our favorite restaurants, like Trattoria al Forno and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, but it’s also home to some of the best cake slices on Disney property. Just a short walk from EPCOT is The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, but instead of trying cake, we decided to switch it up and try some PIE!

OK, we’re gonna say it: Disneyland hotels are WAY too expensive. Those rooms are $400–$600 per night MINIMUM, so don’t expect to find a Value Resort Hotel on the West Coast unless you’re willing to stay off-property.
Disneyland Hotel
There has to be a solution! Is there a way to save a little money on a Disneyland Resort hotel room? We’re so glad you asked! Disney just announced a NEW hotel deal available NOW, and the savings can make a huge difference. Let’s take a look!
