food IS a theme park
EPCOT is one of Disney World’s HOTTEST parks right now!
Spaceship Earth
And by hot, we mean SCORCHING because of the weather, but it’s also become really popular, thanks to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, the opening of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction, and the opening of Connections Cafe and Eatery. EPCOT is the PLACE to be. So we were there recently to see what kind of updates we can get for you.
Who’s ready to save some money?!
Walt Disney World Dolphin
Everyone, right? We’re going to assume it’s everyone. That’s why we keep our eyes peeled for all of the best and biggest savings and discounts you can get at Disney World! From tickets to hotel rooms to food, we got your back when it comes to saving money. So, let’s talk about a NEW deal at some Disney hotels this summer!
It may not be what you want to hear, but it’s time to face the facts — FastPass+ is GONE and Disney Genie+ is now the service guests need to use to skip the standby lines in the parks.
Disney Genie
There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to Genie+ given its different format and specific rules. With that learning curve can come a LOT of mistakes. If you don’t come in fully prepared, you could make some of these big Genie+ mistakes while you’re in the park and they could cost you precious time or cause some big frustrations. Today we’re breaking down the Genie+ mistakes EVERYONE makes and how to avoid them so your next trip can be the best one yet!
If there’s one thing we know about Disney World, it’s that there’s almost always something new and exciting happening!
Magic Kingdom
We’re in the parks almost every day so we can keep you up to date on everything that’s happening in Disney World! Today, we’re heading to the Magic Kingdom so we can bring you what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise. Let’s get into it!
Let’s be very real here — Disney merchandise can be incredibly expensive.
Look at all those plushes!
We’ve seen $130 dolls, $1,000 ears, and shirts with giant price tags. But sometimes a wonderful sale comes along that lets you save some serious cash on Disney items and makes those purchases hurt your wallet a whole lot less. If you’re holding out for a sale to bring home that Disney merchandise you’ve had your eye on for a while, then we’ve got some important dates for you to mark down.
Who’s ready for Disney’s new film Lightyear? We know we are!

We’ve only got a few days left until we can see this new film in theaters, so be sure to grab your tickets now! Maybe you’ve been so excited you’ve already started to grab some merchandise from the film, or maybe you’re collecting those new Lightyear Happy Meal toys! Now here’s a question you may not be expecting; did you know Lightyear could take you to Utah to design your very own custom shoes?
This summer is bringing all kinds of new and returning offerings to Disney World! We’ve already seen the soft return of Minnie Vans in the park, and Disney recently announced a LOT of new snacks and treats. But there’s even more on the way!
EPCOT at night
Last month, we announced that the Fourth of July fireworks will be returning to Magic Kingdom on July 3rd and 4th. Apparently many guests are excited to see the fireworks return, because park passes have already sold out for Magic Kingdom on July 4th! So if you’re planning your Fourth of July trip now, are you just out of luck when it comes to watching a fireworks show on the holiday? Turns out, you’re not! ANOTHER Disney World park is bringing back their patriotic fireworks show as well! [Read more…]
In case you missed it, Oogie Boogie Bash is coming back to Disneyland Resort this fall!
Disney California Adventure Oogie Boogie Bash
Oogie Boogie Bash, an after hours Halloween party filled with spooky fun, is a separately ticketed event taking place on select nights in September and October. Guests can come in costumes, go trick-or-treating, meet Disney Villains, and lots more! Tickets are going on sale soon and if this year is anything like last year, they’re probably going to go FAST. That said, you might have access to one Oogie Boogie date available only to select people, so find out if you qualify here!
Disney has been releasing a LOT of new ears lately!
Lots of Minnie Ears
We’ve seen Lightyear ears, pretty blue ears, Thor ears (that are…interesting to say the least), and more. There are some pairs of ears that you can almost always count on to be in the parks, but then there are those that FLY off of the shelves! And guess what?! A VERY popular pair of ears has just been restocked in Disney World!
Disney experts know that Disneyland has some truly delicious eats.
Sleeping Beauty Castle is a beauty!
Not long ago we tried seven (!!) new foods in Disneyland Resort, and now Disney is gearing up for summer with more foods to try! Check out the new BBQ dishes, a huge family platter, a NEW late-night menu, and more!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
