NEWS: Major Rain Will Hit Disney World This Weekend

By Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever been to Disney World in the summer, then you know the weather is only two things: hot and rainy. After the major heatwave last week, Mother Nature is yet again headed for the House of Mouse with a potential tropical storm or depression.

A new storm system started forming off the coast of central Florida on Wednesday. According to the National Hurricane Center tracking it, there’s a much higher chance that the storm could become the season’s next tropical storm or depression!

By Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is under construction to become a newly reimagined Tropical Americas land! This change will bring three brand-new rides, along with a new quick-service restaurant that will be the largest on Disney property.

@Disney

Disney has been hard at work building the new land, and if you look in the right places, you can see them building it yourself through the construction walls. We stopped by the construction site yesterday, and the Encanto ride just hit a massive milestone!

By Leave a Comment

If you’ve got a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios coming up, you’re going to see a lot of construction happening!

Hollywood Studios

Construction has been taking place at Hollywood Studios all year long, and it’s not slowing down any time soon. From projects and upgrades around the park to the massive expansion of Monsters, Inc. Land, a day at Hollywood Studios looks a lot different today than it did a year ago. We recently visited the park, and we have lots to show you!

REVIEW: There’s a Skillet Cookie at This Disney World Hotel Pool Bar That’s TOTALLY Worth The Trip

By Leave a Comment

When you think “pool bar,” even in Disney World, you’re probably thinking of food that tastes good when you’re starving after swimming for hours, but otherwise is a bit mediocre.

Full spread from Bar Riva

Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort is a pool bar that’s a bit more elevated than others, but does the menu match its decor? We decided it was time to find out, so we headed over there to grab some of the most popular eats on the menu. What we found wasn’t exactly what we expected, but there is ONE item available that we won’t be able to stop thinking about.

An EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Experience Just Got More Expensive

By Leave a Comment

We’ve just got a little more than a month before the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival begins, and we’re ready to eat all the eats, chase a rat around EPCOT, and enjoy some fun concerts at the American Adventure Pavilion.

Mimosa at Parisian Breakfast

The festival offers all kinds of great experiences, including one of our favorites, the Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France in the France Pavilion. Now it has been confirmed that the breakfast will return for this year’s festival, but we’ve got some bad news if you’re thinking about booking: the price for the breakfast has gone up.

Why We’re RUNNING To Disney’s Polynesian Resort In October

By 2 Comments

If you’re ever at the Polynesian Resort, then you’ll know the most popular spot to grab a drink is Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. This tiki-themed bar serves some over-the-top drinks, some that even light on fire, so the waitlist can get looong! 

We love Tiki Terrace!

But did you know they have a bar counter outside if you can’t snag a table? Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace is located outside of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, with an outdoor seating area and water views. It used to be one of our favorite spots to grab a drink, but then it unexpectedly closed in April. Disney must have heard our prayers for a quick-service Polynesian Pearl, because a reopening timeline was just announced!

You Could Win A Stay in Disney World’s Cinderella Castle Suite

By 7 Comments

Okay, let’s talk about the DREAM stay in Disney World, and no, it’s not staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or at the Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. No, we’re talking about the ULTIMATE dream stay INSIDE Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom.

You could stay inside Cinderella Castle!

Yes, Cinderella Castle has its very own suite, but getting a stay there isn’t as simple as booking it because you, well, can’t. Instead, getting a stay at Cinderella Castle is usually only available through giveaways, which often involve supporting a charity with donations. So these opportunities are few and far between. We’ve got good news, though: a NEW giveaway is now offering a stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite…and you could win it!

One of the most iconic snacks in Disney World and Disneyland is the DOLE Whip. DOLE Whip can come in something as simple as the pineapple version we all love, or it can also come in other flavors, as well as in sundaes, floats, and more. It’s so versatile!

Pineapple DOLE Whip

Well, believe it or not, this year, Disney is celebrating 50 years of DOLE Whip (Happy Birthday, DOLE Whip!) and will be dropping four NEW DOLE Whip snacks in Disney World and Disneyland soon to celebrate as part of DOLE Whip Day (and yes, it’s a real holiday).
