food IS a theme park
There are so many perks when you stay at a Disney World resort, but some of them feel too good to be true!
Disney’s Riviera Resort
From Early Theme Park Entry to free transportation, Disney gives you a lot to love about staying at one of their hotels. The resorts are home to some Disney-themed rooms as well as some of our favorite restaurants and pools. I’ve been writing about Disney resorts for two years, and I’m still shocked that guests can do these things!
Béis luggage has been everywhere lately, from social media to airport terminals. However, if you are considering making the investment in these bags, you should be aware of a few key points.

With their sleek design, huge popularity, and savvy features, it’s easy to see why so many people decide to splurge on this luggage. After spending $270 on a Béis luggage, we have a few things to share with you before you “Add to Cart”. If you’re thinking of investing in this ultra-aesthetic travel gear, here are four things we wish someone had told us first.
Fall at Magic Kingdom means crisp air, pumpkin spice treats, and, of course, some seriously cute new merch to cozy up in while you explore the parks.
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
Believe it or not, it can get chilly in the early mornings during Early Entry or in the evenings just as Happily Ever After is about to begin. You’ll be thankful you packed that sweatshirt in your park bag! Luckily for you, we found a few that are stylish and ideal for the fall.
There’s just something about walking down Main Street, U.S.A., with the smell of popcorn in the air, Cinderella Castle in view, and that background loop music at Magic Kingdom.
Dole Whip
I’ve been going to Disney World for 2 years as my job and even longer personally, and these are the items I will never stop buying at Magic Kingdom. While every visit is a little different, there are a few tried-and-true items I always find myself buying. If you’re anything like me, these might be on your list, too.
Magic Kingdom is undergoing a few transformations right now, and the next time you head back into the park, things might be a little different.
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
Big Thunder Mountain is still closed for refurbishment until 2026. We also have large construction walls up around the Rivers of America to make way for the new Piston Peak Cars area coming in the future. Now, over in Tomorrowland, we just had another ride close for a lengthy refurbishment. We’re talking about Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, which is getting some big upgrades.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort isn’t just known for its laid-back tropical vibes, but it’s also a major transportation hub for the Disney Skyliner.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Skyliner
As the central station where multiple Skyliner lines connect, Caribbean Beach offers guests incredibly easy access to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and other nearby resorts. But a rare route change is now affecting that convenience, and if you’re staying at Caribbean Beach, you’ll want to know about this before your stay.
There’s something about the Haunted Mansion at Disney World that brings out people’s strangest behavior, and not in a good way.
Haunted Mansion
At Walt Disney World, the Haunted Mansion isn’t just a ride. This ride carries a big fan base. Hardcore Disney fans know every detail. However, the Haunted Mansion has seen guests act in ways that range from eye-roll-inducing to jaw-droppingly disrespectful. I’ve been going to Disney World for decades, and I have seen a few too many scary things that are, in fact, not a part of the ride. Let’s talk about some of the worst things you could do on this beloved ride.
I’ve been going to Disney World for 25 years, and this one thing will be a game-changer for your next day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Fantasmic! Billboard
I’ve rope-dropped Tower of Terror more times than I can count, eaten my weight in Carrot Cake Cookies from Trolley Car Café, and yes, I remember when The Great Movie Ride was the beating heart of the park. Hollywood Studios has always held a special kind of magic for me. It’s a park that blends thrills, nostalgia, and making magic come to life in a way that hits just right. And while there’s plenty to love, from Galaxy’s Edge to Slinky Dog Dash, there’s one decision I never second-guess: booking the Fantasmic! Dining Package.
One of the most powerful parts of a Disney vacation is the smell.
Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom
From sweet treats in the parks to the immersive scents pumped into rides and resorts, those magical aromas have a way of sticking with you long after you’ve left. If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up that feeling and bring it home, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up four of our favorite candles that smell just like iconic Disney experiences, so you can relive the magic anytime, right from your living room.
When it comes to dining at Disneyland, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
