food IS a theme park
Epic Universe is shaping up to be a game-changer for theme park fans, but that doesn’t mean every “upgrade” fits every park-goer.

While plenty of guests love the idea of grabbing a refillable mug and getting unlimited soda, I passed. And I passed for a few really specific (and honestly practical) reasons that might help you figure out whether this add-on is right for you, too. Let’s break it down
EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival is amazing… until you realize you’ve spent 30 minutes in line for a tiny plate of festival goodness and nowhere to set it down.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
The truth is, this festival is one of the best events Disney puts on, but it can also be chaotic, crowded, and completely overwhelming if you’re not prepared. That’s why we’re sharing the actual tricks that make a huge difference — the ones seasoned festival-goers swear by but most people overlook. If you’re heading to EPCOT for the festival, there’s one move that will instantly level up your whole experience — and a couple of smart add-ons that make the day smoother, tastier, and way more fun.
We’ve all smelled it, and we all know it’s not pixie dust.
On Main Street, U.S.A.
Disney World days are long, sweaty, and exhausting — and that’s when everything’s going right. You can plan your heart out, show up bright and early, and still find yourself melting by noon. And while we can’t control the Florida heat, we can beg Disney to do one small thing that would make everyone’s day better: start selling deodorant or deodorizing wipes in more places. Like, every single store.
Airports are already weird enough—turns out, there are some TSA rules that make them even weirder.

If you think you know what’s allowed in your carry-on, you might want to think again. While we’re all out here double-checking if our full-size toothpaste is under 3.4 ounces, TSA’s quietly green-lit some pretty unexpected stuff. So next time you’re heading to the airport (maybe even for that magical Disney trip), you might just want to pack a little differently…because these TSA rules are wild.
So, here’s something we didn’t expect—Disney World fans are suddenly changing their minds about booking Disney Cruises.
Disney Wish
We know, right? For a long time, the vibe was that the parks were it — the ultimate Disney experience. But now? There’s a shift happening. New ships, bold themes, and even cruises sailing out of Singapore are making Disney adults stop and rethink everything they thought they knew about Disney vacations. Let’s talk about what’s changing minds — because there’s a lot to be excited about.
EPCOT’s newest lounge is a total vibe — and honestly, we’re obsessed.
GEO-82
GEO-82 Lounge has brought a whole new level of cool to World Celebration. It’s sleek, it’s calm, and the drinks are on a different level than most Disney World bars. But as much as we’re loving it, there are a few things that have us wishing it could just go that extra inch and be perfect. So let’s talk about the little issues that are kinda driving us nuts.
We need to talk about overpriced food in EPCOT.
UK Pavilion
We love a good snack run just as much as the next Disney fan, but lately we’ve seen a frustrating trend pop up—Disney adults shelling out way too much cash for food items that have cheaper (and sometimes better) alternatives just steps away. You don’t have to empty your wallet to get your fish and chips fix. Today we’re calling it out, especially in EPCOT’s UK Pavilion, where some folks are overpaying big time—and don’t even realize it. Here’s what you should be doing instead.
Disney has cooked up a LOT of wild ideas over the years, and not all of them made it to the plate.

Some were teased with concept art and then never heard from again. Others were actually announced and then slowly faded into the background, like they never existed. And then there are a few that still sting—because we really wanted them to happen. Let’s talk about five Disney World projects that were planned, hyped, and then totally canceled.
It turns out, you can book a vacation where everything is taken care of — even the snacks.

All-inclusive resorts aren’t just for tropical getaways in the Caribbean. The U.S. actually has some pretty epic all-inclusive destinations, too. And no, we’re not talking about boring buffets and scheduled entertainment every hour — we’re talking about luxury cabins, mineral-rich hot springs, next-level food, and wellness experiences that might just convince you to turn off your phone (maybe). Here are a few of the top all-inclusive travel spots in the U.S. that actually live up to the hype.
Big changes are happening over at Disney World’s hotels.
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
We just said goodbye to not one, but two iconic Disney World restaurant staples. Shula’s Steak House at the Swan and Dolphin Hotel and Jellyrolls on Disney’s BoardWalk have both officially closed their doors — and if you’ve ever spent time at either one, you know how big of a deal this is. Here’s what we know about these permanent closures, and what’s coming next.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
