food IS a theme park
As a full-time travel editor who basically lives out of a suitcase, I’ve learned one major lesson: The key to packing light is learning how to do laundry on the go.

That’s why the one product I’m most hoping to see marked down during Amazon Prime Day is the Scrubba Wash Bag. If it does? I’m finally hitting “buy.”
I travel almost full-time for my job, and I’m constantly looking for clothes to add to my packing rotation.
“Inflate the vest by pulling down on the red tabs.”
I opt for clothing in solid, neutral colors that can layer well depending on the weather. I also want my travel wardrobe to be easy to clean — no dry clean only or hang to dry pieces, please. I recently stumbled on a dress at Walmart that meets all my requirements, and yes — I went back and bought it in every color!
Nighttime at the Magic Kingdom is about to get even more magical!
Magic Kingdom
Currently at the Magic Kingdom, Happily Ever After lights up the skies around the park. When Disney changed the fireworks show to Enchantment for Disney World’s 50th birthday, many fans were upset and begged Disney to bring back Happily Ever After, and they listened and brought the show back in April of 2023! Fans have also been begging Disney to bring back a nighttime parade to Magic Kingdom. You asked, and they listened! Last year, it was announced that Magic Kingdom will get a brand new nighttime parade in the summer of 2025, and now we know when it will debut!
Do you want to go to Disney World in 2026? I know I do!

I need to make a confession that might get my Disney fan card revoked: Space Mountain, once my absolute favorite attraction in Disney World, now leaves me feeling like I’ve been tossed in a washing machine with a bunch of bricks.
Space Mountain
There’s something uniquely disorienting about holding onto childhood nostalgia while your adult body screams in protest. I still remember my first ride on Space Mountain — the anticipation building as I finally reached the height requirement, the wonder of blasting through simulated space, and the pride of conquering a “big kid” coaster.
Remember when Disney Springs was just a casual shopping area where we could wander aimlessly, maybe grab some food at Earl of Sandwich, and call it a day? Those simpler times are long gone. Today’s Disney Springs has evolved into a destination that might require almost as much strategic planning as a park day — and many people don’t realize this until they’re already caught in the chaos.
Disney Springs
I’ve watched countless families waste precious vacation hours because they didn’t understand how dramatically Disney Springs has changed. Heck, I’ve been insanely late for a dining reservation myself because I didn’t realize the sheer madness of the Disney Springs parking garages on the weekends!
