food IS a theme park
Things are about to get really busy in the Disney World park, because it’s officially the holidays, baby!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’ve seen seasonal merchandise out on the shelves, peppermint-flavored treats are soon to arrive, and holiday decorations are going up all over the place. But if you’re an Animal Kingdom fanatic, there’s one thing that the Christmas season brings that you won’t want to miss…the Tree of Life Awakenings!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of the company’s most unique theme parks, offering live animal experiences and exclusive attractions not available at any of the company’s other resorts around the world.
Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
In fact, there aren’t too many places we would rather be than Animal Kingdom during a trip to Disney World most of the time. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t cringey things that sometimes have us rethinking walking through the entrance.
Marvel’s new movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has officially arrived in theaters, but it’s also hit Disneyland!
Space Mountain
I’ve seen the movie, and I, personally, thought it was…well…fantastic, but it’s also pretty fantastic that Disney has brought The Fantastic Four to Disneyland in a variety of ways. Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, or The Thing are currently meeting people in Tomorrowland (which looks a lot LIKE the setting of the movie). You can also pick up some limited-time snacks and drinks celebrating the release of the movie. Well, another FANTASTIC thing is happening in Disneyland…and it’s happening at Space Mountain.
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is debuting on July 20th, and we’re here in the Magic Kingdom to watch.
Disney Starlight
Not only are we here to watch the new nighttime parade, but it feels like everyone else is here, too. Come with us to take a look at the crowds while we’re trying to find the best spot for viewing.
Nights are about to get BRIGHTER at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle at night
Earlier this year, Disney announced that a BRAND-NEW parade would be coming to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Following in the footsteps of iconic offerings like the Main Street Electrical Parade and SpectroMagic, this new nighttime spectacular was set to debut in 2025. Now, we know its full name!
Let’s be honest, Disney World can be straight-up creepy sometimes.
Haunted Mansion
From scary villains to haunted mansions, there are some things about the parks that are surprisingly spooky. (Have you ever BEEN on DINOSAUR in Animal Kingdom?!) But besides that, the parks at night are a completely different vibe than they are during the daytime. If you find yourself out and about at night, there are some places in Disney World that you may not want to walk alone!
The MagicBand+ just arrived in Disney World and we’ve been busy exploring all its new features!
MagicBand+ with Enchantment
If you’re looking for a way to enhance your Disney World experience, the MagicBand+ adds new features such as lights, haptics, gesture recognition, and more perks that interact with your environment throughout the parks. We stopped by one Disney Park to check out how our MagicBand+ interacts with its park icon and here’s what we found!
Tonight is the first night of Disney World’s After Hours BOO Bash and we are here to tell you every last detail!
Oogie Boogie
One of the best parts of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, prior to the pandemic, was the BOO to You Parade. The feeling of sheer terror when the Headless Horseman would trot through the crowds really set the bar for what is one of the most anticipated parades at Disney World. While we absolutely LOVED that parade, we could not WAIT to see what BOO Bash had in store for us. [Read more…]
