food IS a theme park
It’s time to put a STOP to waiting in massive lines, missing out on important reservations, and regretting the purchases you make in Magic Kingdom.

(So consider this video to be THE lifesaver you were looking for.)
One Disney collector’s item that we’ve seen grow increasingly popular is the refillable popcorn bucket!
They really do make GREAT accessories!
These themed buckets can be purchased in the parks at several popcorn stands. While many people use them for — you guessed it — popcorn, we’ve seen many others use them as decor, piggy banks, and even bags, since they usually come with long straps. We found a NEW Disney100 popcorn bucket that is fit for a princess!
Not all Disney World dining experiences are created equally.
Cinderella Castle
Sure, chances are you can find something for just about anyone, but if you’re looking for the ultimate Magic Kingdom dining experience fit for royalty, there’s really only one place that comes to mind. Complete with Disney Princesses and a meal inside Cinderella Castle, come with us to Cinderella’s Royal Table!
In case you missed it, Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid movie, starring Halle Bailey as Ariel, is coming out soon!

There’s a lot of HYPE surrounding the movie, too. We recently got our first sneak peek of Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. Disney is looking to hire lookalikes to portray the new version of Ariel in the parks. We even got to see Halle Bailey with a new piece of Little Mermaid merchandise — a brand-new Ariel doll! Well, get those wallets out because we’ve found the new doll ONLINE!
One of the most important parts about planning your Disney World trip is deciding how you’ll get there in the first place. Are you going to fly to the Orlando Airport and then use a shuttle service or rideshare to get to your hotel? Or will you opt for the freedom of driving yourself so that you can use your own car once you’re there?

We went to Disneyland’s FIRST-EVER Princess Nite, which is a separately ticketed after-hours event. And we’re taking you along with us to experience it!
Let’s go to Princess Nite!
There are unique treats, special meet-and-greets, and themed entertainment offerings at this special event, which is held on March 7th and 9th from 9PM to 1AM. Let’s head in to check it all out! [Read more…]
A NEW event has officially started in Disneyland and it comes with some unique treats!
Minnie and Daisy!
Disneyland hosts several After Hours events throughout the year, and this year they’ve started to offer a NEW event — Disneyland After Dark: Princess Nite. During the Princess After Hours event, you’ll find a number of party-EXCLUSIVE snacks, from a cotton candy cream cheese pretzel to an escargot flatbread(!). We checked out two of these and now we’re sharing our honest thoughts with you.
For as massive and impressive as it is, there are still a lot of things MISSING from Disney World.
Magic Kingdom Park
The four parks that make up one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations may be filled with magic, but when you compare them to other Disney parks around the world, sometimes they fall short. Sure, we’ve got unique things like Animal Kingdom, Pandora — The World of Avatar, the World Showcase, Figment, and Liberty Square…but there are some things that we really miss that you can’t find at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
The Brightline train is getting closer to connecting Orlando all the way to Miami!
