My Friend Wants to Buy Good Shoes on A Budget So I Sent Her These 5 Sneakers on Amazon

By Leave a Comment

Finding what shoes to wear for Disney World vacations is easier said than done.

HOKA Clifton 10

You may think that your sneakers you’ve had for years and use every now and then at home will work great, but here’s the thing — you’ll be doing LOTS more walking than you’re used to on your vacation, so it’s of utmost importance to have shoes that are really going to support you and keep blisters from forming as you go about your day. I recently had a friend of mine ask me what shoes she should look for to grab for her upcoming trip, and these were the ones the team and I recommended!

Could a Magic Kingdom Transportation Expansion Be Coming Soon?

By Leave a Comment

While we adore the Walt Disney World Monorail, don’t get us wrong, sometimes it’s not the fastest way to get to Magic Kingdom.

Look at that line!

The lines for the Express Monorail can easily get backed up during busy periods, and sometimes you don’t want to have to take the Resort Monorail to make stops before getting to your destination. If that’s the case, your next option is the Ferryboat, which we’re also a big fan of! While the Ferryboat currently holds TONS of people, we’ve still experienced some pretty intense backups when loading for the boat from Magic Kingdom to head back to the TTC (especially when the Monorail is down). Soon, that may no longer be as big of an issue thanks to this new expansion project!

3 Things Your Loungefly Quietly Wishes You’d Buy for Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Loungefly bags are adorable, go easily with Disney outfits, but we’ll be honest — they’re EXPENSIVE.

We love our Loungeflys!

With that being said, when you spend your money on one, you want to be sure you use it often and take very good care of it, so you don’t feel like you wasted money. If you’re stuck in that place between wanting to use your Loungefly but struggling to find a way to organize it, but also not wanting to use it too much and wear it out, boy, have we got the three essentials you need!

EPCOT’s 4 Most Unexpected Rules

By 2 Comments

When it comes to Walt Disney World, there are a lot of rules to follow. Some are officially mandated by Disney, while others are unwritten and unofficial “rules” that guests should be following at Disney’s theme parks, including EPCOT. 

Walt Disney World Monorail

For example — no running, no horseplay, no vulgar words or disrespect towards other guests or the workers at the park — these are all the rules you expect, but Disney World parks come with a few additional rules that may have you giving them a second glance. EPCOT, in particular, has a few rules you’ll definitely want to know about before you plan to spend a whole day there!

Disney Announces 2 More Attraction Closures at Animal Kingdom

By Leave a Comment

We’ve got some pretty rough news coming out of Disney’s Animal Kingdom right now, unfortunately, and a lot of people are NOT going to be happy about it.

Rafiki’s Planet Watch

Disney just closed the remainder of DinoLand U.S.A. on February 2nd to make way for the new Tropical Americas land, and while we’re looking forward to it, it means there’s a WHOLE park of the park that won’t be available for the foreseeable future. However, now things are about to get WORSE, because Disney has just announced two MORE temporary closures for the park that close ANOTHER section.

Cracker Barrel Announces Harsh New Rule for Employees…and It’s Going Viral

By 1 Comment

We’ve all had our fair share of strange requests at jobs we’ve had in the past. Sometimes your employer wants you to clean a specific way, greet customers with a specific saying, or maybe there are some practices that you feel would be more efficient if they were done differently.

We’ve had some of our coworkers here work at Disney World, and yes, they’ve got some stories to tell, but we just got word about a surprings new rule that a popular restaurant has implemented for their employees, and it’s gotten us thinking — yes, we’ve had some weird rules at our jobs in the past, but none of them have ever been quite like this!

8 Cringey Things We’re Begging You to Stop Doing at Disney World in 2026

By 5 Comments

It’s not often that we call something “cringey,” especially when it comes to people, or something they’re doing, but we’re in Disney World A LOT, and that means we’ve seen some…questionable things.

Magic Kingdom

Some of the things we’ve seen are a little silly, and many of them we’ve also done ourselves, like tripping over the trolley tracks, or forgetting to pack a sweater and having to buy one in the gift shop so we don’t freeze. While we usually live our lives in a way that makes us confident enough to not care what other people think of us (and encourage you to do the same, for the most part), when you’re in Disney World, we are BEGGING you to PLEASE not do these eight cringey things.

An Iconic Disneyland Ride IS FINALLY Reopening THIS WEEK

By Leave a Comment

Every year, Disneyland closes “it’s a small world” for a limited time to retheme it for the holidays, and then closes it again after the season to return it to its regular version.

“it’s a small world”

The attraction closed to remove its holiday overlay on January 26th, but it was up in the air on when the attraction would open again. Fortunately, now we have our answer, because hours are showing beginning February 6th on the Disneyland website and app!

See the CHANGES at DinoLand U.S.A. Following Permanent Closure

By 1 Comment

We’re drying our eyes still, but the time has finally come, whether we wanted it to or not.

No more DinoLand!

Yesterday was the FINAL day to experience DinoLand U.S.A. as a whole in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and now, the walls are officially up all around the land. There will be no more walking past some of the construction walls to make your way to Restaurantosaurus or DINOSAUR — it’s all closed off now to make way for the new Tropical Americas expansion. But what does that REALLY look like? We’re here on day one of the closure to check it out!
