This iconic show has been updated in a big way with new character costumes, songs, and more. But just what songs are now featured in the show? Have any of your old favorites remained? We got a peek at the updated attraction ahead of its official opening and now we’ve got all the answers!
We just found a very good reason to stop by Starbucks tomorrow, July 10th!
Starbucks in Disney Springs

One of the most important things (if not THE most important thing) you’ll pack for your upcoming Disney World vacation is a pair of super comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking a LOT during your trip — Our reporters walk anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 steps PER DAY when they visit the parks! So having a great pair of shoes is absolutely essential.
Magic Kingdom
Target Circle Week is currently going on, and we spotted some great walking shoes on SALE up to 46% off! Check out these deals to see if your next pair of Disney World shoes is waiting for you at Target.
Another construction project is about to begin in Disney World!
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
Disney is currently working on several projects throughout the hotels and parks. Some are pretty big endeavors, like turning the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade in Magic Kingdom into a Disney Vacation Club lounge. Others are a bit smaller and out-of-the-way, as is the case with this new refurbishment project that was just announced for Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. [Read more…]
Another Magic Kingdom ride is temporarily CLOSING soon, and this one’s a biggie.
Cinderella Castle
Lots of changes have been happening at Disney World’s most popular park recently. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opened in Frontierland, and the nearby Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade closed down around the same time. That Arcade is being refurbished to become a Disney Vacation Club lounge. Also in Frontierland, the Country Bear Jamboree show has been closed as Disney re-works some of the songs. In Fantasyland, Peter Pan’s Flight has closed for a refurbishment as well.
If you hop over to the nearby Adventureland, you’ll find another attraction closure in just a few weeks!
Does anyone else hear that? 🤔 It appears to be the sound of my wallet crying out for help. That’s probably because it knows about the GORGEOUS new Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke collection that Disney just dropped online.

Haunted Mansion fans are going to LOVE these new bags! The design features fan-favorite characters from the classic ride, like Madame Leota, the Hitchhiking Ghosts, the singing busts, and more. Check out all of these new bags, which you can get online from the Disney Store NOW!
The Genie+ system in Disney World is changing in a BIG way soon!
New Lightning Lane changes are coming
Genie+ is the skip-the-line service in Disney World. Visitors pay for the service — which costs anywhere from $15 to $39 per day, depending on the season and demand — and can then use it to reserve Lightning Lanes throughout the day. When their reservation time arrives, they skip the standby line and use the Lightning Lane instead, which means a lower wait time.
Genie+ has been in place since 2021, and now (almost three years after its initial debut) a BUNCH of changes are coming. We’ve been learning about the new system, which will be called Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and we’ve discovered one huge PROBLEM. [Read more…]
There’s one thing you’ll find on Disney cruise ships that you WON’T find in Disney World: a TON of FREE food!

Disney cruises are all-inclusive, meaning the cost for your cruise vacation includes not only your stateroom but also your meals and most activities on board. But there are still some things that will cost EXTRA, so make sure you consider them when planning your budget! Here’s a list of six things that will cost extra on Disney’s NEW Treasure cruise ship.

We just stayed at the BIGGEST Marriott hotel in the WORLD. And there was a MERMAID PARTY. Also, a WATER PARK. If that doesn’t grab your attention, I’m really not sure what will.
Orlando World Center Marriott Hotel
Marriott recently invited us to stay at the Orlando World Center Marriott, which, as we mentioned, is the largest Marriott hotel in the world with over 2,000 guest rooms and suites. It boasts a water park (with seven water slides and a lazy river), another pool area, a spa, eight restaurants, an 18-hole golf course, and more. Come with us to check it all out!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is officially OPEN in Disney World! We’ve been enjoying the ride, all the themed treats, and of course all the merchandise that arrived for the occasion. Now, some of that merchandise is available ONLINE too!
Tiana’s merch
You can get some Princess Tiana-themed Minnie ears and the Dooney & Bourke collection online at the Disney Store right now. Let’s check out all the items so you can grab some to bring with you to Magic Kingdom when you go to ride the attraction!
