It’s officially EPCOT Festival of the Arts time in Disney World! We visited the festival on opening day to see, do, and eat everything available at the event. But, of course, it takes time and planning for a full day at the Festival of the Arts to go smoothly, and that starts with packing your park bag.

By Leave a Comment

Updates all around Disney World have begun. Disney is bringing us new lands, new attractions, new themes at existing attractions, and so much more. We’re so excited for what the upcoming years have in store for us at the Disney World parks! Over the past couple of years, Disney has made so many announcements regarding these changes, but there was one that we were particularly happy to hear.

Frozen Ever After

While the bulk of the changes are happening at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios, EPCOT cannot be left out. We haven’t forgotten about the exciting announcement regarding problem-solving changes headed to an EPCOT ride that is in dire need of them.

Why We’re NOT Worried About Villains Land Coming to Magic Kingdom

By 1 Comment

Disney is building a brand-new Villains Land at Magic Kingdom! We’re so excited for the Disney Villains to have their spotlight. So many people are fans of the glamorous and mischievous characters, and now we get an entire land dedicated to their shenanigans. However, there is some concern about Disney, a very optimistic, bright, and happy brand, doing a dark, moody, and possibly scary(ish) land.

Dark Universe recently opened at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s new theme park, so Villains Land may get compared to this new land, which could make people worry that Disney won’t be able to compete. But we’re not worried about it at all! We have faith and trust in Disney. Plus, we have evidence to back up our lack of concern.

4 Food Trends That Fans Are DREADING in Disney World This Year

By Leave a Comment

There have been some fun and interesting food trends on the internet recently. Many are great, while others could disappear, and we wouldn’t be mad about it. Disney World often catches on to these food trends and brings them to the parks; however, they don’t always make it in a timely fashion.

It’s time for some of these food trends to be out and new ones to be in. Fans are really hoping that Disney World doesn’t bring these four trends into 2026. They can stay in 2025 forever, and many would be happier for it.

REVIEW: Why You Should Skip Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Stay HERE Instead

By Leave a Comment

When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, there are TONS of options for where to stay during your visit. You can stay at a Disney-owned resort, a non-Disney resort located at Disney World, one of the many hotels and resorts off Disney World, or even an Airbnb. As for us, we prefer to stay at a Disney resort.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Disney resorts come with many perks, including transportation to the parks, Early Entry, Extended Evening Hours, and all the fun Disney atmosphere. Of course, there are different tiers of Disney resorts, and finding the one best for you can feel daunting. If you’ve been considering staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort but it’s outside your budget, we recommend another beach-themed resort instead!

The Best Restaurants at Disney Springs in 2026

We’re headed to Disney Springs in 2026! Of course, we LOVE the theme parks at Disney World, but do not sleep on the dining and shopping district of the resort. Disney Springs has so many underrated and overlooked gems. So whether you’re planning a non-park day or you’re an Annual Passholder filling a blackout day, you need to visit Disney Springs.

Truffle Mushroom Frites

While you’re at Disney Springs, you’ll see so many restaurants and snack spots. You likely can’t go wrong with any of them, but we definitely have our favorites. If you have picky eaters, are going out for a date, or need to stick to a budget, we’ve got you covered.

“It Would 100% Breathe New Life Into That Crusty Place” Disney Fans Are Begging for This Hollywood Studios Restaurant Change

By 4 Comments

We’re so glad to see Disney World making updates to areas that have needed a new sparkle. The Little Mermaid stage show at Hollywood Studios got a facelift, an entire new land dedicated to the Villains is being added to Magic Kingdom, and hotel food courts have gotten a bit of new magic. It’s great that many places around the resort are getting the attention they deserve.

Hollywood Studios is changing

Unfortunately, like us, you might have noticed that isn’t the case for every spot in Disney World that needs some love. While Hollywood Studios is getting some revamping (a new land and a ride re-theme), there’s one crusty restaurant that’s in dire need of some new life, and we know just what would help it.
