food IS a theme park

What does your perfect Disney World vacation look like?
Polynesian Beach
For some, it might be a full week exploring the parks, while for others maybe it’s a quick weekend trip followed by a Disney cruise. But, if your perfect Disney World vacation also involves spending time at any of Florida’s gorgeous beaches, there’s some important info you should remember. Here are five laws you need to know before you travel to Florida beaches.
Disney has been through a lot of major changes recently, including replacing Bob Chapek with the new(ish) CEO Bob Iger. But there are lots of smaller changes happening every day in the Disney World theme parks!

There’s a very important date coming up that you need to remember if you’re a Disney World fan.
Mark your calendar!
Mark your calendar for December 8th. Why, you may ask? There are a few major changes that go into effect on that day that could have a BIG impact on your upcoming Disney vacation. If you’re planning to visit Disney World on or after December 8th, you need to know about these updates! [Read more…]
In case you missed it, Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek has stepped down from his position and has been replaced by former CEO Bob Iger.

The Disney Board of Directors announced this change late in the evening on November 20th, noting that Bob Iger would resume his role as CEO effective immediately, and Disney’s stock values proceeded to increase significantly the following Monday morning. Many people have been commenting on this change and what it could mean for the future of The Walt Disney Company, and we’ve compiled some of the reactions we’ve found across social media.
It’s almost Thanksgiving — Can you believe it?!
Happy Thanksgiving
The year is flying by, and even though there are holiday decorations up and a Christmas party is happening in Disney World, Turkey Day has still yet to come. Thanksgiving usually brings out a LOT of people to the theme parks for the holiday, and we’re already starting to see that happening, because the crowds in Disney World this week are BIG!
Bob Iger has taken over as CEO of The Walt Disney Company (again) after it was announced that Bob Chapek would no longer fill the role.

The news was about as stunning as Iger’s initial announcement that he would be stepping down in early 2020, just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic would force Disney to halt theme park operations. The company’s Board of Directors had voted earlier in 2022 to extend Chapek’s by three years — after the then-CEO had already faced criticism for price increases in the parks, Annual Pass program changes, and even his political decisions regarding Disney’s response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education (or “Don’t Say Gay” per critics) law. So, why was the decision to replace Chapek with Iger made now, and why so (seemingly) sudden?
Minnie and Mickey ears — we know ’em, we love ’em, we can’t get enough of ’em!
So. Many. Ears.
And it’s a good thing, because Disney keeps making more and more and MORE ears for us to check out. Seriously, they release new ears SO frequently, it’s hard to keep up! Orange Bird ears, limoncello ears, princess ears, Space Mountain ears, fuzzy ears, sparkly ears — we could go on and on. And, luckily, you don’t always have to go to the theme parks to grab the latest pair, because some get released online as well. 3 NEW pairs of ears just arrived in Disney World, but that’s not the only way you can get them!
Disney Festival of Holidays is happening at Disneyland Resort right now, but we’re already getting news about the next festivals!
