Halloween at Magic Kingdom
It’s Halloween time in Disney World — at least it is in the Magic Kingdom and parts of Disney Springs ;-D — and we are HERE for it!
Just yesterday we speculated that Bongos, the Cuban-inspired Disney Springs restaurant owned by iconic singer Gloria Estefan, would close next week, and today we have confirmation that, indeed, the restaurant will close on August 18th.

The grand opening of the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is quickly approaching!

And luckily, menus for the event have already been released, so we have already started to scope out a few of our must-try treats! And friends, we’re getting excited. Another location seems to be getting excited too, as they will be throwing a champagne party for anyone willing to pay the price.
Today is the official grand opening of the new NBA Experience at Disney Springs!

So, we thought we’d explore the new experience together so you could see if you think it’s a slam dunk or a total air ball…
Disney World is really ramping up for Halloween because we have MORE Halloween merchandise news to share!

We were blessed with the joys of Halloween when visiting World of Disney in Disney Springs today. Especially after we spotted not one, but two pairs of NEW Minnie Halloween Ears.
A few months ago, we told you that Bongos Cuban Cafe, located in the West Side of Disney Springs, would close its doors this August. Well, friends, it looks like the dining location may close in less than a week.
