food IS a theme park
According to multiple sources, including Deadline, Disneyland Resort has laid off about 100 Cast Members.

These Cast Members were from multiple departments and include “a limited number of salaried positions.”
I’m a sucker for seasonal decorations at theme parks. There’s just something so beautiful about seeing a park I know and love, with twinkling lights and garland, turned into a winter wonderland, despite being in Orlando, Florida.
Ready for the holidays!
This is our first winter season with Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest addition, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic just got a festive makeover with the flick of a wand.
It’s HERE! We look forward to this day every year because Disney has finally released a full look at all the food coming to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

This after-hours event is filled with Christmas parades, fireworks, characters, and an abundance of food. As soon as you see the list, you’re going to feel overwhelmed, but don’t worry — that’s why we’re here! We attend the party every year and discover the best snacks you should try, as well as the ones you should save your money for. Let’s take a look at everything coming to the party.
EPCOT is home to so many restaurants, and once you throw in festival booths, it’s easy to get overwhelmed on where to choose. That’s why we’re here — we’ve eaten at every single restaurant at Disney World (and every food booth at EPCOT festivals) and we have some opinions on where you should eat.
Lotus Blossom Cafe
We went to Lotus Blossom Cafe at the China Pavilion in EPCOT, and you’re coming with us! This quick-service restaurant is there all year round, ready to serve your favorite Chinese take-out staples, all while you travel the World Showcase.
If you saw my closet, you would be shocked by how many Disney World souvenirs I have hanging up. Next to my Taylor Swift cardigan collection (hey, I have priorities), I have buckets of Mickey ears, far too many Disney World sweatshirts for someone who lives in Florida, and baseball hats for every single park and niche occasion.

Disney just showed us a preview of a new outdoor themed collection, and I feel like I’m back in summer camp after seeing all the pieces!
Do you have that special little card inside your wallet? That Disney Visa Card can get you some major Disney perks both in and outside of the parks.
Disney Visa Card
You might know that you can get 10% off select merchandise locations with your Disney Visa Card, as well as select dining locations, but you might not know about some unique experiences you can get in the parks.
Universal just dropped some EPIC news (and no, that joke will never get old).
WELCOME to Epic Universe!
If going to Universal’s newest theme park has been on your list since it opened in May, we now have a look at 2026 tickets and prices, making it even easier to plan your 2026 vacation.
According to Entertainment Weekly, a man died after a medical episode at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

The man was described as in his 60s and was transported to a hospital early Tuesday morning, where he later died.
I’m holding onto fall as long as I can possibly can before the twinkling holiday lights start being strung across Disney World. For me, that means eating more seasonal treats!
Seasonal Macaron
We headed to L’Artisan des Glaces in the France Pavilion in EPCOT to try out a seasonal treat to see if you should stop here next time in the World Showcase.
Disney just announced even more holiday fun, and y’all, if you haven’t grabbed tickets to Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, you might want to check your calendar and buy a set of tickets.
@Disney
One of my favorite parts of Jollywood Nights last year was meeting all the different characters you can’t normally see around the park. Now, even more have been added, making it a total character palooza.
