food IS a theme park
Luminous at EPCOT
Today, we’re here to talk about regrets.
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
And no, we don’t mean the kind like how you gave up your lifelong dream of becoming a race car driver or how you dated that one guy in college. We’re talking about Disney World regrets. Here’s the thing: Disney World is WAAYYYYY too expensive to be regrettin’ anything. We’re here to help you make sure that when you buy your ticket or Annual Pass, you’re getting the best bang for your buck and living your Disney life to the fullest. NO RAGRETS. (If you get that joke, we can be best friends.) Anyway, we’re here to talk about Magic Kingdom regrets in particular. Let’s go!
Listen. Vacation should be a time to SPLURGE. If you want to indulge in sweet treats for breakfast for a week straight, there will be absolutely no judgment from us.
Welcome to Contempo Cafe!
We typically go into our Disney World vacations with that mindset. A few days into the trip, however, we realize that our stomachs aren’t made of steel. IYKYK. Sometimes you have to opt for the meal with nutritional value, ya know? There are all SORTS of nutritional meals at Disney World that are still super yummy. Whether you’re remedying your past mistakes of sugar splurges, have an allergy or dietary restriction, or simply showed up with a heck ton of self discipline to begin with, we think you’ll love the meal we’re headed to grab. It’s over at Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Let’s go!
Occasionally, Disney releases new merchandise and souvenir items that sell like HOTCAKES.
Lorcana
Out of all the merchandise Disney has released in 2023, the Lorcana Trading Cards have been among the most popular. A partnership with Ravensburger, these collectable cards allow Disney fans to participate in their very own tale throughout the card game. These were released in August 2023 and sold out FAST, restocked later in the year on shopDisney, and were even the first card games to EVER to be made available by virtual queue on Amazon. So… It’s safe to say these bad boys are pretty popular. If you’re hoping to get your hands on some, you’re in luck.
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. Our tour begins here in this gallery– where we found a Haunted Mansion-themed coffee!
Haunted Mansion
Sorry, we didn’t mean to frighten you and make you think we were possessed by the ghost host, but we couldn’t help ourselves. The Haunted Mansion-themed coffee we found just put us in a silly spooky mood… but now we need to tell you about it because the sound of it has us drooling. [Read more…]
Who doesn’t love a trip through the McDonald’s drive-thru?
McDonald’s
Come onnnn, be honest with yourself. Whether you’re grabbing a Happy Meal, a McFlurry, or even just a drink, there’s just something about it that hits the spot every time. ESPECIALLY the drinks. (If you’re a Diet Coke person, then you know the McDonald’s Diet Cokes are absolutely delicious.) If you’re a big fan of McDonald’s drinks, then we’ve got good news for you.
One of the BEST parts about visiting a Disney Park is the entertainment.
Disneyland
In particular, the nighttime spectaculars can be POPULAR among Disney fans. Yep, we’re pretty sure these shows have their own cult followings. (We may or may not be part of them.) Anyway, some of the BEST shows can be found over on the West Coast — at Disneyland! Some beloved nighttime shows are returning in 2024 for a very limited time, and you’re NOT gonna want to miss it.
Doesn’t it seem like something new is always popping up in Disney World?
Cinderella’s Castle
In order for all this change to happen, we sometimes have to say goodbye to some of our favorite attractions, shops, and even restaurants. Over the past couple of years in particular, though, there have been a few attractions that have had permanent closures. Let’s talk about it!
If you’re a regular at the Disney Parks, then there’s a 99.9% chance you’ve seen Loungefly bags all over.
Well, time to buy more Loungeflys.
Whether you’ve seen them in the gift shops, on the backs of other park goers, or in your own luggage, Loungefly backpacks are a popular souvenir for many. What makes them so popular is that they aren’t just a fun souvenir. They’re also an adorable accessory and a great TOOL. They’re the perfect size for a great park bag — as they’re large enough to hold all of your park necessities but small enough to stow away on rides. We recommend these bags to folks all. the. time. However, there’s one instance when we suggest leaving the Loungefly at home.
We can’t wait for the January in Disney World — wanna know why?
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
January 12th marks the first day of the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! It’s one of our favorite festivals and we look forward to it every year. In addition to delicious eats, exciting entertainment, and exclusive merchandise, you can expect to see some seriously incredible art. One artist we look forward to seeing is coming back in 2024, and they’re bringing some new prints!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
