food IS a theme park
We’ve said it before, and we’ll continue shouting it from the rooftops: the shoes you choose to wear to Disney World are IMPORTANT!
One of our favorite shoes
We’ve tested a ton of different products around Disney World, and that includes shoes. Which ones are the best for wide feet? Which won’t rub you the wrong way? And which shoes are worth the money? We’ve got the answers — and that’s why HOKAs and Brooks shoes are the only ones you should wear to Disney World in 2026.
No one wants to be running late for their flight, but hey, it happens! As you’re sprinting to your gate, out of breath, panicked, and crossing your fingers that you’ll make it, American Airlines has started making things easier this year.
American Airlines
Lots of changes have hit flying this year, especially when it comes to making it through TSA security, but this change happened over the summer, and many people still don’t know about it. If you’re flying American Airlines and running late for your connecting flight, they’ll hold the plane for you for a few minutes…but also send you a countdown that might cause your stomach to drop.
It’s no secret that we love Disney food, but we especially love DISNEYLAND food. The churros, the churro toffee, the churros (oh, wait, we said that), the cheesy garlic pretzel bread…Disneyland has some of our favorite snacks on Earth.
Secret menu alert!
So when we learn about a new snack, especially one on a secret menu, we have to investigate, right? Well, we found such a snack at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, along with a new holiday drink. Yep, we tried both! And now we’re going to tell you what we thought.
If you’ve ever gotten sick immediately after a Disney vacation, you’re not alone.
A gloomy Magic Kingdom
The Disney Crud eventually comes for all of us at least once. This is the phenomenon many folks experience after a Disney vacation, where they just immediately feel sick. It may not even be a particular illness — you might just feel rundown, experience cold or flu-like symptoms. You’ll also be plagued with incredible amounts of fatigue. Ultimately, you feel sick — and you might actually have caught something, causing you to have some regrets about your trip. Fortunately, we’ve gone through this experience enough to be able to equip you with several tools to help you overcome the notorious Disney Crud!
Winter in Florida probably looks different than most places. We might not be making snow angels and snowmen or pulling on knitted caps and scarves, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to get into the festive mood.
Festive Cupcake
We headed to Capt. Cook’s at the Polynesian Village Resort at Disney World to try a dessert that’s perfect for a Florida Christmas!
When your stomach starts rumbling in Frontierland, there’s only one place that promises big portions, big flavor, and even bigger yee-haw energy.
Pecos Bill’s sign
We recently stopped by Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe at Magic Kingdom to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Happy Holidays from Disney World. We’re enjoying the holiday season, especially all the new food it brings to Disney World.
Queso Fries from Pecos Bill
This week alone, we got to drink a Churro Margarita, celebrated the return of one of our favorite new snacks, started to try to decide where to have Christmas dinner in Disney World, and more. Meanwhile, Disney World restaurants stayed busy as they updated menus, so we’re going to go through all those changes so you aren’t caught by surprise during your next visit. We’ll warn you now, if you’re visiting one of our favorite pizza spots in Disney Springs, aka Pizza Ponte, you’re going to be paying a little more.
‘Tis the season to watch all your favorite holiday movies on Disney+, but one movie might be the most ICONIC of them all: Home Alone.

As we all know, Home Alone is about a boy named Kevin who accidentally gets left behind when the rest of his family goes on a holiday trip. Kevin ends up causing trouble for some would-be burglars, and hijinks ensue. But who knew this movie could help you at the airport? Well, thanks to a new program, it can!
Universal Orlando has found a whole new way to keep us on our toes.
Islands of Adventure Main Entrance
You can plan for rope drop, chart out your most efficient walking route, and feel like you have cracked the vacation code, but the parks always have a surprise waiting for you. Some changes seem tiny at first and then end up shaking your entire morning strategy. For example, if there’s a certain Magical Motorbike ride you want to hit first, you might want to hear this before you set that alarm.
It’s the holidays in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying everything the holiday season brings to the parks. We’ve also enjoyed seeing the parks all decorated for the holiday season, the snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle, and eating our way through the Festival of Holidays.
Write a letter to Santa Car
But there’s one holiday activity you might not know about in Disney California Adventure that we wanted to make you aware of. Did you know you can send a letter to Santa in Cars Land? Well, you can!
