food IS a theme park
December 20th is a national holiday that we will DEFINITELY be spending at Disney World.
Disney Springs
What holiday, you ask? NATIONAL. SANGRIA. DAY. One whole day to celebrate our love for sangria. As a matter of fact, one Disney World restaurant is also joining in on the celebration in a big way! Here’s what you should know if you’re trying to get your sangria on.
When it comes to pretty much any question we have for anything, including our vacation and Disney World plans, Google is our go-to.
Disney World
Yep, when traveling pretty much anywhere, we’re just like you all and consult Google for airfare, hotels, and even general knowledge about the area. We have a pretty good guess that you guys are the same! Not only do we like to search on Google, we also love to see what OTHERS are searching on Google. We got curious — what are the MOST Googled vacation destinations? And where does Orlando fall on that list?
One of the many amenities of staying at a Disney World hotel is having access to the phenomenal team of housekeepers!
Room at Disneys Grand Floridian
Whether you’re the type of person who doesn’t want to worry about keeping your room in a livable state while on vacation, and want to reap every benefit of housekeeping while at Disney World, OR you’re the type to want to keep people out of your hotel room at all costs, there are a few important things you need to know about housekeeping at Disney World hotels.
Yo ho, yo ho, it’s a BIG day for Pirates and Pirates fans everywhere!
Pirates of the Caribbean
Yep, Pirates of the Caribbean in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom is one of the attractions that is considered to be an OG — with this attraction popping up just two years after the official opening of the park in 1971, and six years after the attraction arrived to Disneyland. Well, on December 15th, Disney World’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction reached a HUGE milestone.
Disney World is a GREAT place to spend the holidays.
The holidays at Disney World are extra magical!
Whether you’re hoping to check out some elaborate holiday decor in the parks and hotels, try some festive treats, or simply spend some time with loved ones, Disney has you covered! The holiday season can be an especially fun time for little ones, as you can actually meet Santa throughout the parks! Yep, you can meet Santa at every Disney World park (and Disney Springs), except for one. Let’s talk about it!
We’re always down for a night spent cozied up on the couch and putting our Disney+ subscription (or TV in general) to good use.

If you’re in the mood to do the same, and to also watch something NEW, then you’re in luck! There’s a new Disney special that debuts TONIGHT, December 14th on ABC.
Who doesn’t love a trip to the movies?
Who doesn’t love a trip to the movie theater?
We find ourselves heading to the movie theater an awful lot in the winter, because it’s the perfect place to cozy up and enjoy some new films with friends and family. A new movie is debuting in theaters on December 15th, and we can’t WAIT to check it out — not only because we’re stoked to see the movie, but also because there’s a special POPCORN BUCKET!!!
When it comes to sweepstakes and giveaways, we always try to keep our lovely readers informed on when and how they can enter to win some pretty cool stuff.
Disney World
From stays in Cinderella’s Castle to Disney vacation giveaways, there are all sorts of sweepstakes that you can enter. However, there’s a new giveaway that we came across and we think that it’s way better than a Cinderella Castle Suite stay or a fully-paid Disney vacation. It’s a giant meatball. ❤️
When it comes to beloved Magic Kingdom rides, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is at the top of the list for many.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Located in Frontierland, the western ghost town-themed coaster is a great choice for those looking for a family-friendly ride. Plus, it’s one of our FAVORITE places to catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks each night. If you’ll be visiting Disney World in January, though, you might not be able to ride the attraction…
EPCOT has had a BIG week!
Dreamers Point
On December 5th, an all-new land opened in EPCOT, allowing visitors access to the World Celebration Gardens. Not only that, but a new Walt Disney statue debuted, Luminous: Symphony of Us lit up the skies for the first time, AND we got to check out the return of the glowing sidewalks! Only one thing was missing… the new festival area! CommuniCore Hall and Plaza were meant to debut in late 2023, but we found out in early December that the new festival areas would not be available until 2024. While we were disappointed, we were holding on to hope that it would be complete in EARLY 2024 — based on the visual state of the construction. Let’s check it out!
