food IS a theme park
Disney World is expensive enough as is without wasting your money, and we’re about to save you SO MUCH CASH!
The Emporium
We’re here to warn you about the WORST things you’ll buy in Disney World so that you don’t fall into any traps!
There are a lot of things that are WEIRD about a Disney World trip. You’ll walk 10+ miles in the Orlando heat and call it a “vacation,” you might wait hours to hug a giant mouse, and (speaking of giant mice) you’ll see a lot of people wearing mouse ears on their heads.
Ears in EPCOT
If you’re someone who collects Minnie and Mickey ear headbands, you’ve probably already seen a lot of the new versions that have come out recently. There were new Ratatouille ears, some gorgeous Princess Tiana ears, and even retro ears that you can get in the parks or online. Now, there’s a NEW pair of Minnie ears that you have to see!

It’s time to put on your best vintage outfits and head to Disney World because it’s almost Dapper Day!
Dapper Day is almost here!
Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty epic Dapper Day outfits in the past and we’re looking forward to seeing what guests come up with this year! But, if you’re not sure what you’re going to wear (or if you’re just learning about the event and want to participate), there’s a returning small shop in EPCOT where you can stock up on the latest vintage Disney clothing and accessories!
Aching for a luxurious shopping trip during your Disney World vacation? Then there’s only one place for you — Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We’re visiting this shopping and dining destination to check out what’s new since our last trip. Want a sneak peek? We found a delicious burger, some insane LEGO art, and a TON of new mugs and candles. Let’s head in to see ALL the updates from our visit! [Read more…]
As we wind down from Valentine’s Day celebrations, it’s time that we start to think about…winter holidays?!
Valentine’s Treats at the Boardwalk Bakery
That’s what Disney seems to think, at least. We were taking a stroll through EPCOT when we spotted a popular ornament we hadn’t seen since before Christmas! You might remember that Disney came out with several ornaments that resembled various Disney hotels and other iconic buildings. If you missed your chance to get one, you’re in luck! The Via Napoli Ornament is available once again — let’s check it out!
Did anyone else pick up baking as a hobby in the last couple of years?
Baguette in EPCOT
The Disney princesses make it look so easy, but somehow our treats never come out looking as good as Tiana’s beignets, Rapunzel’s pies, or Julieta’s arepas. What’s up with that? Maybe we just need a little more Disney magic to help us out. Good thing we spotted a NEW line of home goods that will transform your kitchen into a Disney paradise! [Read more…]
Disney and Loungefly often team up to make some of the cutest little backpacks, and we see them all over the Disney World parks.
Disney x Loungefly Backpacks
There have been Marvel-themed bags, ones themed after Disney attractions, and backpacks made to match almost every Disney character you can think of. Now there’s a NEW collection of Loungefly items available online, and their only purpose in life is to bring absolute joy to all the Disney-loving bookworms out there.
Hello from Disney Springs!
Fall in Disney Springs!
We come to the Springs all the time to check out if anything new or exciting is going on. So, come with us as we see what’s new in Disney Springs!

Disney World sometimes has exclusive merchandise, which only certain guests can buy.
MagicBands
You’ll have to be an Annual Passholder to buy some things, a Disney Vacation Club Member for others, or maybe even a member of D23 (Disney’s official fan club) to get certain items. The new MagicBand we found in Disney World is one of these exclusive items — find out if you’ll be able to buy it!
Recently, we’ve been seeing a lot of price increases at gift shops and restaurants around Disney World.
Donald nuiMO with new price
Wishables and nuiMOs both jumped a few dollars in price, restaurants in EPCOT like Chefs de France and Teppan Edo had price increases on their menus, and souvenir experiences like building a lightsaber in Hollywood Studios saw jumps in cost as well. Now, we’re seeing another big Disney World item get a price hike in the parks!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
