food IS a theme park
A scary incident at a popular U.S. theme park fortunately resulted in a happy ending.

According to multiple reports, a young boy was in serious peril after walking along a monorail track at Pennsylvania’s Hersheypark on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. The incident was caught on video and went viral.
We’re LIVE at this year’s Destination D23 in Disney World, and a major Disney castle question was just answered! (FINALLY!)
Cinderella Castle
Destination D23 is the ultimate Disney fan weekend in 2025, and is being held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort from August 29th through the 31st. During the expo, we’ve gotten to learn about upcoming projects, hear from special guest speakers, and even get some insight into Disney history. In fact, a secret was revealed about a previous (and controversial) castle change!
If you’ve ever been to Disney World during a busy season, you know the feeling — shoulder-to-shoulder walkways, long lines for snacks, and unbearable waits for rides. Unfortunately, we could see a lot more of that next year.
Main Street, U.S.A.
It may not seem apparent, but if you’re planning a trip in 2026, brace yourself for a potentially rough reality. Crowds might be heavier than usual, and we’ve thought of three big reasons why.
A new snack is coming to Disneyland, and we CAN’T WAIT to try it! Brace yourselves — we have a fun announcement to share. Love savory snacks? Love any kind of food on a stick? Love Disney food? You’re in the right place. Glad to have you!
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs can be found at BOTH the Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, and we couldn’t be happier because these treats almost ALWAYS deliver. While the Disney World location is still fairly new, the spot in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort has been a staple for many years. Blue Ribbon offers many variations of the classic corn dog, including a special limited-time corn dog that you can grab VERY SOON!
You never know who you might bump into during a Disney vacation!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland
Celebrities love to visit the Disney Parks just like us, and with Disneyland being located not too far from Hollywood, spotting celebs at the California theme park resort is a common occurrence. In fact, one of the biggest movie stars today was recently spotted having a blast with a classic character at “The Happiest Place on Earth!”
We think shelling out some extra cash for Lightning Lanes is worth it, but it’s soooo much sweeter when you get to save a few extra bucks!
Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane
Lightning Lanes allow Disney World guests to skip the long standby lines, but, in most cases, you’ll only be able to access them via a paid ticket add-on. Right now, Disney World offers Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass for guests, and it looks like prices will be dropping for all three in September!
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one breaking this rule.

Sailing with the Disney Cruise Line and other cruise lines can be tons of fun, but these kinds of vacations don’t come without a specific set of rules. We get it, going on an ocean voyage doesn’t come without an inherent set of risks, creating the need for some very strict rules and regulations. You’re quite literally in a floating vessel in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by an environment we’re still very much learning about. However, there’s one cruise rule that we still struggle to wrap our brains around.
Magic Kingdom is making a historical change that could forever alter lounges at Disney World.
The Beak and Barrel
The Beak and Barrel is a NEW Pirates of the Caribbean-themed OPENING TODAY, August 29th, 2025, in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland. The lounge’s opening is not only significant thanks to its theming, but, more so, the ramifications of becoming the FIRST lounge that sells alcohol at Magic Kingdom. [Read more…]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a MAJOR makeover with Pueblo Esperanza — a Tropical Americas-themed land. However, before the new land fully takes shape, the park will need to say goodbye to DinoLand U.S.A.
Dinosaur
The removal of DinoLand sadly also means the end of the DINOSAUR attraction, which will ultimately give way to a brand-new Indiana Jones ride similar in ride mechanics to DINOSAUR and Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Adventure, but with an original story. DINOSAUR is set to close permanently sometime in 2026, and when it does, its absence will create an unavoidable problem.
It’s about to be the BEST — and WORST — time to visit Disney World.
EPCOT
Does Disney World actually ever take a break? Apparently not! Fresh off the return of the super-popular Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, August in Disney World isn’t getting any quieter, as THREE huge events are still scheduled to take place, and will no doubt keep the parks PACKED.
