By 1 Comment

One of Disney’s most popular products of the last several years is coming to EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts in 2026!

Festival of the Arts!

Introduced several years ago, Lorcana is a Collectible Card Game – or CCG – similar to games like the Pokémon Trading Card Game or Magic: The Gathering. While many engage in competitive play, there are many who just purchase cards for display and collectibility purposes, thanks to their unique artwork of Disney characters. Which brings us to FARTS…

Wait Times Were 70+ Minutes for TWO EPCOT Rides This Week

By 1 Comment

Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!

Spaceship Earth

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. This year, for example, wait times for late October were low, then JUMPED in early November. As we get closer and closer to Christmas, we expect those wait times to increase even more. Is this the calm before the storm?

Should We Be Worried About the New Pirates of the Caribbean Bar in Magic Kingdom? We Asked 2 Disney Experts

By 2 Comments

In the summer of 2025, Walt Disney World opened the Beak and Barrel lounge at the Magic Kingdom. The Pirates of the Caribbean-themed space has proven to be immensely popular, BUT there are definitely some issues that have Disney experts concerned.

Rummy!

Over my 7+ years writing about Disney theme parks — and 5x as long visiting them — I can’t remember too many restaurants that garnered quite as much anticipation as the Beak and Barrel. The highly themed establishment, which Disney describes as a spot where “bandits and buccaneers-to-be from every corner of the seven seas are welcome to join together and raise a toast to the pirate life!” The lounge is full of references and easter eggs for eagle-eyed guests to spot… if they have the time.

We’re Obsessed with These HIDDEN Details at Cafe Megara on the Disney Destiny

By Leave a Comment

The Disney Destiny, the latest ship from the ever-expanding Disney Cruise Line, is just about ready to for guests, and we got to see some of the ship’s NEW elements up close during a special preview cruise! The ship, which will have its maiden voyage on November 20th, is themed to Heroes and Villains, and be based on “on the legacies of beloved Disney stories, characters, and theme park attractions” according to the company.

Cafe Megara

For the Destiny, Disney’s Imagineers were “inspired by the dynamic duality of every great Disney story when developing this new ship, where opposing forces of light and dark drive characters to rise to their purpose.” That theming carries through to the ship’s dining areas, including Cafe Megara, based on Meg from Hercules.

Universal Confirms MAJOR Changes Coming to Epic Universe Park

By Leave a Comment

Universal Orlando has changed A LOT in the last year. I’ve been visiting for over 30 years now, and with the possible exception of 1999 (when Islands of Adventure, CityWalk, and the first Universal hotel opened), there has never been a more transformative year in the resort’s history, thanks to the opening of Epic Universe and its three hotels.

Wizarding Paris

This massive expansion is changing everything about Universal Orlando, from how many days it takes to see everything on property, to how the transportation system works, and even the Holidays. That’s right, Christmas at Universal is about to get… Epic.
