food IS a theme park

When I’m planning a Disney World vacation, my visits to Disney Springs are more of a luxury rather than something I focus a trip around. However, as Disney Springs keeps evolving and upgrading its offerings, it’s hard to ignore that the outlet has quickly become a destination location that deserves your attention — on top of a wild amount of strategy.
Disney Springs
If you haven’t been to Disney Springs in a minute, I need you to hear me out — things have changed. Which means that there are some NEW rules you need to know about — whether you’re checking out the new restaurant from Gideon’s or doing some vacation shopping. Trust me — nothing ruins a perfectly planned Disney day faster than parking in the wrong area, getting stopped at security, having trouble finding the right store, or realizing the vibe is very different from what you expected.
You’ll never totally avoid crowds at Disney World, but some kinds of crowding are just straight up RIDICULOUS.
A busy day in Hollywood Studios
Is common courtesy dying at the Disney Parks? Maybe, but that’s a conversation for another day. However, there’s one trend happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that’s so annoying, we have no choice but to call it out. We’re, of course, talking about the “aisle lice” problem. Crowding at Hollywood Studios is bound to happen, but there is an unnecessary form of crowding called “aisle lice” that serves absolutely no purpose.

Disney made plenty of waves in February, but one particular announcement was the size of a tsunami.

Despite being the year’s shortest month, February was not lacking in big Disney news. Whether it was theme park expansion progress or info regarding the returns of beloved offerings, Disney had us on the edge of our seats all month long. HOWEVER, one announcement was so big that even folks who don’t follow Disney closely took notice.
If you’ve ever stood in a 45-minute security line at the airport thinking, “There has to be a better way,” I am here to tell you: There absolutely is.
TSA PreCheck
If you travel to Disney World, Disneyland, or pretty much anywhere more than once a year, TSA PreCheck can be a TOTAL game-changer. This airport security service offers shorter lines and fewer things you need to remove from your bags and clothes when going through a checkpoint. It’s so much easier than the regular standby line — but it comes at a price. If you’re looking to save on a TSA PreCheck membership, there are some non-TSA programs that offer this service FREE OF CHARGE!
Sure, a Disney+ subscription lets you stream your favorite shows and movies whenever you want…but membership also comes with some pretty sweet real-world perks!

Disney+’s Perks program is stepping up BIG time in 2026, and you do NOT want to miss out on these benefits. From sweepstakes to major freebies and discounts, Disney+ recently revealed some major perks to being a Disney+ subscriber!
If there’s a new snack at Disneyland, you can best believe we’re running over to try it!
Mini Corn Dogs
Disneyland Park is home to MANY tasty treats, and we’re always excited when it adds to its pantheon of interesting theme park food. Frontierland’s Golden Horseshoe is an underappreciated quick-service restaurant that serves some of those classic eats with a menu that gets shaken up quite often. It’s latest iteration features a classic Disney treat with a twist, and it’s safe to say we have some thoughts…
There’s no doubt you’ll have some amazing amenities at your fingertips while sailing the high seas with the Disney Cruise Line…but there’s one notable room issue that kinda bums us out.
Disney Destiny Oceanview with Verandah Stateroom
Whether you’re staying in a Disney cruise’s stateroom or a luxurious suite at a Disney World hotel, it’s fair to expect some top-notch amenities. While the Disney Cruise Line certainly offers great perks like 24/7 room service, twice-daily housekeeping, and rooms with gorgeous ocean views, there are some notable shortcomings, like the lack of a certain room perk that could be super useful during a long voyage at sea.
