Disney has released two new Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired merchandise options that AAAARRRRR perfect for your inner Pirate!
Last month, the spitting camel which stands in front of The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland had suddenly gone missing. We were pretty sure that it was just being taken back for a little renovation.

And that must’ve been the case, because POOF! The camel has returned to its original spot! But, oddly enough, it seems to be acting a little strange…
Loaded Fries in Magic Kingdom? Sure, we’ve had our share of those… But Loaded Onion Rings?
Loaded Onion Rings at Golden Oak Outpost
Well, this is a new one for us! And they’re now available at Golden Oak Outpost in Frontierland.
Currently, the menu simply reads “Loaded Onion Rings,” but you actually have two choices: Bacon and Cheese Onion Rings or Chili Cheese Onion Rings. [Read more…]
We know that many of you planned your Disney World vacation BEFORE the Galaxy’s Edge dates were released, so we want to do our best to help you navigate and alleviate the stress of some of those crowds! If you’re a morning person then you’re in for a treat with new EXTRA Extra Magic Hours! Not sure what that means? No problemo — we’re gonna tell you all about it!
Regular Extra Magic Hours allow Disney World hotel guests to access the parks with low crowds first thing in the morning to enjoy the cooler temps, shorter lines, cool photos with fewer guests, etc. Now…you HAVE to be staying at a Disney resort in order to have access to these Extra Magic Hours. This is one of the many perks that Disney puts in place to get you to stay at one of their hotels over off-property hotels.
Mine Train
So, what are Extra Extra Magic Hours and why were they created? Well, Disney often has Extra Magic Hours, but these are typically just an hour or two in the morning or evening at the parks. Extra Extra Magic Hours are additional park hours that have been added for resort guests DAILY.
Our guess is that Disney has done this to try to alleviate some of the Galaxy’s Edge crowds since an insane amount of guests will be heading to the parks for the opening of the new land this fall. Galaxy’s Edge is set to open on August 29th, which is why the Extra Extra Magic Hours will be offered every day starting September 1. They will continue until November 2, 2019, at the following theme parks and times.
If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that the combination of salty hot dog and savory corn meal batter is a winning one… most of the time. At Casey’s Corner in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, the Corn Dog Nugget has been a favorite snack (and more recently a favorite entree — see it here!) for years, but recently we learned that things inside the nugget just aren’t the same.

That’s right: something is amiss, and we made a special trip to Casey’s to investigate. [Read more…]

Beaches & Cream‘s Kitchen Sink is the ULTIMATE ultimate food to share with your Disney squad.
