food IS a theme park

Kumba, the 33-year-old roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, is set for its last day of operations on August 2nd. However, the park has confirmed that a sequel is coming!
If you’re heading to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure this year, we hope you’ve gotten your tickets, because they’re going fast!
Oogie Boogie at DCA!
We love getting to try all the special treats available during the party, as well as meet some of our favorite characters, see the exclusive entertainment, and, of course, go trick-or-treating. If you’re planning to see Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, but don’t want to stand in place for an hour to get the best spot, the Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party is perfect for you, and reservations are coming soon!
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters, Inc. Land, and more are underway right now, which can sometimes make it feel like Wall Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
The parks have been full of snacks, changes, and lots of high temperatures this week, but that’s not all. There were some BIG Disney World updates we would hate for you to miss out on. That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. Let’s dive into this week’s latest and greatest Disney news.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season.
Well, we got one slow week in Disney World, and apparently that was the last one we’ll have for (probably) a long while.
Saratoga Springs Resort
While there haven’t been too many changes to the Disney World hotels right now, Disney did give us a heads up that multiple projects are on their way that we need to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. If you’ve been thinking of booking a Disney World hotel reservation for the coming months, you may want to take a look at these new projects first to help aid in your decision.
One of our favorite weeks of the year is here again! We look forward to World Princess Week all year, and now it’s finally upon us again.

World Princess Week will take place this year from August 16th through 22nd, and Disney is celebrating with tons of delicious treats you can grab around the resort. They’ll only be available for a limited time, so you’ll want to make sure you add them high up on your list so you don’t miss out!
If there’s one thing we love, it’s spending time building and creating things. There’s so much beauty in creativity these days, especially as we’re trying our best to spend less time on social media.

There are tons of different ways to be creative! You can write, paint, read, and so much more to express your own creative side. One of our favorite ways to get creative is with these 2 LEGO x Disney building sets. We think you’re going to love them too!
One of our favorite spots to visit in Disney Springs is none other than Gideon’s Bakehouse.
Peanut Butter Cold Brew Cookie
Yes, it’s thanks to their delicious cookies, cake slices, and other fun treats that pop up every now and then, not to mention their cold brew, but what we love most about it is that it changes every month! The spot has year-round flavors that don’t go anywhere, but every month, others switch out to give new (or new-to-the-year) flavors time to shine. If you’re visiting in August, these are the flavors you can look forward to this month!
In case you didn’t know, sometimes Grandpa always knows best, and if you have a grandpa, you might occasionally wonder about his taste in fashion, but if he’s a Disney-loving grandpa, well, more power to him! Now grandpas often accompany their families on Disney World vacations, and if there’s one thing that grandpa gets right, it’s footwear.
Carl and Russell
That’s right, we’re looking at what grandpas are wearing for shoes in Disney World, because this is one of those instances where grandpa knows best.
We’ve got some incredibly sad news to share coming from the TV and film community.

If you’re someone who absolutely loved The Muppet Movie, someone very important on the creative team has passed on. It’s been reported that Richard L. O’Connor, producer of The Muppet Movie and many others, has now passed away at the age of 96.
