food IS a theme park
These days, Disney World can feel more expensive than ever. While Disney has been consistently dropping discounts for hotels, dining, and more, price hikes are still coming to the parks.
EPCOT
Lately, EPCOT has been the victim of price increases. While we hate to be the bearer of bad news, we are here to tell you that more price hikes have come to the park. This time, prices have changed at a popular table service restaurant in the France Pavilion!
Our team spends a LOT of time in the Disney parks, so we’ve tested out a few bags to hold our park day essentials, and there’s one that we feel like everyone is wearing.
Loungefly organizer
When we’re in the parks, we see a lot of guests carrying Loungefly bags. They are cute and practical. They come in so many different options with different sizes, giving guests a wide range of variety to pick from.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Peter Pan and Wendy fly off to Neverland, it’s time you head over to the Magic Kingdom! Disney recently announced that Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, the park’s nighttime parade, has undergone a massive change. Luckily for us, this change is a pretty exciting one!
I’m about to bring down the hammer on a popular Disney World restaurant…
Cosmic Ray’s
If you are planning your next Disney World vacation, you could be thinking about which restaurants you want to dine at and which ones you should avoid. Over at Magic Kingdom, you can find plenty of dining options — from snacks to quick service and table service restaurants. There is one quick service restaurant in particular that we can usually find packed, but to be honest, it’s a BIG skip for me. I’m going to tell you why you should skip it and where you should eat instead.
Getting ready for your visit to EPCOT might involve some serious prep!

Just like any other Disney World park, you’ll need to make a packing list before your visit so you’ve got all the essentials. You’ve got to be prepared for a wide variety of circumstances!

We all know how expensive Disney World can be…but if you’re like me, you just HAVE to go as much as you can, right? But if you’re also like me and have a strict budget for your trip, you also need to know how to afford that trip to Disney World, am I right?

Well, there are actually a LOT of ways to save money in Disney World, and we’re not just talking about taking advantage of free water at counter service restaurants and bringing your own water bottle. There is one BIG hack that could save you hundreds of dollars PER DAY…and I’m going to tell you about that, along with some of my other favorite ways to save money on a trip.
Dealing with long lines is just kind of part of the whole Disney World experience, no matter when you’re visiting the parks.
This is a looooong line
Typically, the longest lines you’ll have to deal with are for the most popular rides — but that’s not always the case. Recently, a viral snack has taken Animal Kingdom by storm, and you won’t believe the lines this thing is drawing in! If you’re heading to Animal Kingdom soon and want to try this new treat, be prepared to wait in a long line!
Some Disney souvenirs don’t just sit on a shelf, they actually do something.
