food IS a theme park
2023 is going by fast, and before you know it — Halloween will be here!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party feels like it’s right around the corner — but something is a little different this year. There’s a NEW ride in Magic Kingdom! TRON Lightcycle / Run opened in Tomorrowland on April 4th, 2023, and many have been wondering how (or if!) this new ride will be operating during the Halloween party this year.
Today’s the day!
Walt Disney World Annual Pass
It’s been a bumpy ride for Annual Passes in Disney World for the last few years. Following the COVID-19 pandemic closures, Annual Pass Sales were paused. In September 2021, pass sales resumed with huge changes. Unfortunately, Annual Pass sales paused again in November for all but one tier. But today, Annual Passes are BACK — with sales starting at 6AM Eastern.

Netflix has been making some changes lately to deal with its streaming struggles.

With services like Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max to compete with, Netflix has had to adjust to try to stay ahead of the game. Last year, the company laid off hundreds of employees, created ad-supported membership tiers, and put into motion a plan to start charging for password sharing. The company has already started to roll out the password-sharing crackdown in international markets, but it looks like US streamers might have a bit more time to take advantage of their friends’ accounts before Netflix takes this perk away.
Get your wallets ready!

Journey of Water is fast underway in EPCOT’s World Nature, the Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new DVC building, and there’s a new restaurant coming to Disney’s BoardWalk. Soon, an upscale hotel near Disney World will be getting a new reimagining as well.
Disney Springs has tons of restaurants, so choosing a spot to eat can feel daunting.
Disney Springs
From fresh, authentic Spanish cuisine to Irish eats with plenty of lively entertainment, Disney Springs has it all. But today, I’m headed to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill to see if it was good as I remembered. Care to join me?
Are you ready for The Little Mermaid?
Ariel in the Festival of Fantasy Parade
The new live-action remake of Disney’s Renaissance classic is already breaking records — the first trailer generated over 108 million views in its first 24 hours! With all of this buzz, you know there are some cute ways to show off your love of this iconic film. The shinest Mermaid Minnie Ears hit the parks earlier this year, and an impressive Halle Bailey Live-Action Little Mermaid Ariel Doll is currently available to preorder online. But now, Loungefly has released a new collection and we have to have it for the premiere.
There are some amazing table-service restaurants to try in Disney Springs.
Wine Bar George
From Chef Art Smith’s Homcomin’ to the Michelin-recognized Morimoto Asia, there are plenty of choices if you’re looking for a nice dinner. But some of the best places to eat in Disney Springs don’t require a reservation or a lengthy sit-down meal. Wine Bar George, which is a great table-service restaurant, has its own counter service window. You can find sandwiches, small plates, and more to-go options at The Basket — and now, there are new items on the menu!
It’s official.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World has moved on from the 50th anniversary and on to the next celebration. While some decor from the 50th anniversary is still lingering (we’re looking at you, pink castle), Cast Members are making way for the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. We’ve been seeing new merch all around the parks for a while now, but today a major decor addition came to Magic Kingdom!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
