food IS a theme park
Some of our favorite Disney shows are not at Disney Parks, but on ice!

We shared the inital return of Disney On Ice and if you’ve been waiting for a Disney On Ice performance to come near you, read on!
Who doesn’t LOVE getting things with the word ‘free‘ attached to them?! Well, we have an awesome opportunity to support Cast Members and also get some yummy treats in the process!

On June 19 and June 20, there is a ‘Running for ‘Ohana 5k and 1-mile Fun Run‘. This run is taking place to benefit one of our favorite charities, The Cast Member Pantry.
The global health crisis was particularly hard on the travel industry.
Orlando International Airport
And although domestic air travel is picking back up again, many international destinations — particularly those that normally have flights to Orlando — are still not allowing flights into and out of their countries.
Happy end of May!
Cinderella Castle
Last month was a BUSY one in Disney World: we saw big changes to mask policies, social distancing, park capacity, and so much more. But did you know that a weird weather situation was goin’ on, too?
As the country continues to reopen, travel is on the rise.
Flying to Orlando
Theme parks like Disney World are increasing capacity as demand soars to pre-pandemic levels. And as a result, we’re already expecting BIG summer crowds. But if you’re planning a trip in the next few months, you’ll want to be aware that you may find that travel is actually more expensive now than it was last year. Here’s why.
Looking for a hotel near Disney World?

While on-property hotels offer plenty of perks, there are lots of advantages to staying off-property, too! And if you opt for off-property, you may want to look into the Flamingo Crossings Town Center area, where plenty of new options are popping up. In fact, a brand-new hotel is opening there SOON!
We do our best to help you travel and budget for your Disney World trip, and one thing we love doing is giving you money-saving tips!
Cinderella Castle
Sometimes that means telling you about how to save money on souvenirs. Or maybe we’ll keep you updated on all the latest deals and discounts. And we love sharing all the freebies you can get at Disney World. Whatever it is, if it can save you money, we will share it with you!
We’ve seen a LOT of new things coming to Orlando recently, specifically in the realm of food.

We’re gearing up for the opening of the world’s largest White Castle, along with the appearance of Portillo’s near the parks. On top of that, Gordon Ramsey announced that he will soon be opening a restaurant in Icon Park. Then today, we learned that a new bowling and restaurant chain is coming to the area, all the way from Chicago!
Disney World has some amazing food, but there are great places to eat off-property, too!
Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese
One of the spots we’re most excited about is White Castle! This burger joint announced its Florida location (the first in 50 years!) in 2019, and we’ve been dreaming about its square burgers ever since. And now, we’ve got a SUPER exciting update!
Back in 2019, we learned that Chicago hot dog chain Portillo’s was going to open a new location near Disney World! And then we got an opening date for March of this year!
Portillo’s coming soon to Orlando! ©Portillo’s
That opening date, though, got delayed — and then got delayed again, and now we have no set date on when it might open to the public. But that hasn’t stopped the chain from considering how it might expand in the area!
