food IS a theme park
We’ve been to Disney World countless times, and we’ve seen many things. The one thing that we simply CAN’T let happen anymore is guests eating on the floor.
Animal Kingdom
We’re telling everyone to stop sitting and eating on the floor at Disney World, because YOU DON’T HAVE TO! So, why’s everyone doing it? Well, we think it’s because you’re not aware of this expert tip yet.
Disney World is constantly trying to find ways to entice us into planning a trip…
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
…and then trying to find ways to make us “plus up” that very trip. Think about it — they get you hook, line, and sinker with the cutesy commercials on TV and social media and soon you’re booking a stay at a Disney Resort. But then, you’re also spending extra on the Dining Plan, the Lightning Lanes, and all the experiences that you hope will make your trip “magical.” Well, in the past several months, they’ve been targeting folks who already have trips booked!
When it comes to spooky season in Disney World, we’ve done it ALL.
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
We’ve tried hundreds of seasonal treats over the years, we’ve checked out the merchandise, and we’ve taken more than our fair share of photos of the Mickey pumpkins. But for the past 17 years, we’ve also been to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) EVERY year that it was available. Today, we’re here to take you on a journey through the past, because the party that we all know and love has changed quite a bit in nearly 20 years. Let’s go back in time!
Getting ready for your visit to EPCOT might involve some serious prep!

Over decades of visits, we’ve honed our list of EPCOT must-haves, and now we’re sharing some of our faves with you.
Before you set foot in Universal Epic Universe, there are some RULES you need to know.
Gate at Epic Universe
Of course, when we mention “rules,” you often think about guest behavior in the park and avoiding getting kicked out. But what about when we say “locker rules?” Yep, you’ll spot lockers a few different places in Epic Universe, and you may be REQUIRED to use them.
Budgeting for your Disney World trip? Oh, do we have HACKS for you!
Getting to Disney World requires going through lots of tolls
Of course, the biggest tips are to check Disney World’s Special Offers page before you book and to make use of any discounts you have. However, some smaller, sneaky budget hacks help us nip and tuck our budget along the way. We’re here to share the list!
Going to Disney World during Spring Break? You might be in for a WILD experience.
Magic Kingdom crowds
It’s one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, as millions of Americans are out of school and ready to travel. Spring Break crowds can often spread throughout March and April, particularly concentrating in the middle of March and the weeks before and after Easter. So if you’re hoping to travel during that time, what should you know in order to conquer the parks?
It’s almost time for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which is, personally, my FAVORITE festival of the year.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

It’s no secret that planning a trip to Disney World can be…a LOT. There’s a lot to consider: travel dates, hotel reservations, ticket tiers and – of course – packing. Sometimes, it can feel like the planning never ends. That’s why we’re here to help.
