food IS a theme park
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to see our favorite characters dressed up in costumes and eat the most candy EVER!
2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map
During this event, there are tons of exclusive snacks to try, merchandise to check out, and, of course, trick-or-treating and riding some of your favorite rides with low waits. Heads up — one ride will NOT be available this year!
Hong Kong Disneyland is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in tons of exciting ways!
Disney Friends Live at the Castle at Hong Kong Disneyland
We recently traveled there to check out all the festivities, and while we were there, we couldn’t help but notice a few things we’d love to see over in Disney World and Disneyland. While there was lots of entertainment we’d love to see in the U.S. parks, there was something in front of nearly every restaurant that we think restaurants at all other Disney parks should have too!
It’s been almost two months since the official closure of Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This quirky, kitschy section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land (with Disney’s first suspended roller coaster!).
Muppets Courtyard behind walls
While the land is behind construction walls, you can see the demolition progress and construction depending on where you stand. During a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we noticed that one building is now COMPLETELY gone, so we’re officially saying goodbye now.
Starbucks fans, great news has arrived if you love summer flavors!
Connections Cafe in EPCOT
Scratch that — if you love fruit flavors, particularly raspberry, this new announcement is about to blow you away. There’s a new cold brew available now that’s perfect for the rest of the summer season!
Recently, we got a chance to travel to Hong Kong Disneyland to celebrate their 20th Anniversary, and we got the opportunity to try SO many fun snacks, drinks, and entertainment opportunities that we can’t get over in the United States.

Hong Kong Disneyland is similar to the United States parks in a way that you CAN find Starbucks in the park, which is fantastic if you want something a little more familiar. However, we tried two drinks that we need to see IMMEDIATELY in the States, and we think we’ll throw a fit soon if we don’t!
Alright, Millennials, we need you to stop everything you’re doing, because there’s a new LEGO set that just came out that you’re about to freak out over (we know because WE are indeed freaking out)!
LEGO Store at Disney Springs
If you grew up in the 1990s, you likely remember what it was like to play on a Game Boy or saw them advertised. Starting in October, there’s a NEW LEGO set coming out that will give you all the nostalgia vibes in the best way!
Listen, I’ve been to Magic Kingdom COUNTLESS times, but when I tell you I’ve never seen construction at this level before, I mean it. And guess what? It’s about to get MORE intense.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Magic Kingdom has THREE big construction projects happening right now — Piston Peak, Villains Land, and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment, but there’s another one that’s about to be added to the list. If you love this Tomorrowland attraction as much as we do, you’ve got to ride it in the next week before it changes forever!
There are lots of fun national holidays or celebration days that many people don’t know about, but when you keep up with the news like we do, there’s very little you miss!
Bangkok Chicken Wings from Nomad Lounge
Being Disney Food Blog, there’s lots of food we like — especially considering we have a whole team of reporters, writers, and editors who have all different tastebuds, but one thing we can almost all agree on is that when there’s a national chicken wing day coming up, we KNOW we’ve gotta take advantage of it. Here’s how you can, too!
There are LOADS of ways to celebrate Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary, but some of our favorites involve your MagicBand+!
Tapping our MagicBand+!
A MagicBand+ isn’t essential for your vacation, but it does make multiple things much easier. You can buy yourself a snack, get yourself into your hotel room for a nap, and interact with things around the park with just one tap! For the 70th Anniversary, there are loads of interactive points you can test out for a limited time, and one of them is FINALLY working!
If you’re planning to travel internationally, there’s even MORE planning that goes into those trips than when you travel domestically.
Let’s go somewhere!
You may have to deal with layovers at the airport, not speaking the language of the country you’re in, and making sure you can make phone calls and texts while traveling internationally. However, if you were thinking of heading to these two countries soon, you need to know that their travel advisories have just changed.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
