food IS a theme park
Animal Kingdom is full of restaurant gems, but some of them are more tucked away than people think.
Dawa Bar
Dawa Bar is one of them — this bar, located right near Tusker House in Africa, is home to some great concoctions that are great when you just need a quick drink but don’t want to spend too much time at a table service restaurant/lounge. No reservations are needed here, and we stopped by recently to grab two of our favorite drinks from the menu!
We’re less than 2 weeks away from Halloween, and while we don’t want to rush the season, we’re also excited that it means the holiday season in Disney World is around the corner once again!
The Holidays at Disney World!
That means holiday decorations will be all over the resort soon, holiday treats will become available, and while we’ve already seen some merchandise become available, we’re expecting even more to be on the shelves. But there are also some special events that happen this time of year that you won’t want to miss out on, like this one in Disney Springs!

One Disney World hotel is home to a pretty popular activity that has been unavailable recently due to construction at the resort. But, may have spotted a sign that this activity might be back sooner than we originally thought!
We may be in the midst of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and still have the Festival of the Holidays to look forward to next month, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about ANOTHER EPCOT festival!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
That’s right, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is coming up in early 2025, we just didn’t know when — until now. Disney just announced the dates for this festival and we’re sharing all the details.

We all know that dining in Disney World is unlike anywhere else!
The eats!
I mean, you know how it goes. You’re strolling through the parks when suddenly you feel the hunger creeping in. And then (as if by magic) you find yourself already in line and paying for your Disney meal. It feels like nine times out of ten, the dining experience is fantastic, but we’re here to talk about that one time out of ten. You know, when you impulse eat at Disney World and know you’re probably going to regret it later. Well, we’ve been there and done that more times than we can count. So, let’s have a chat about a couple of those regrets and hopefully they’ll help you not go through the same experience!

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season has wreaked havoc, with Florida and many other areas still picking up the pieces from Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene.
Magic Kingdom entrance the day after Hurricane Milton
Disney World closed the theme parks, water parks, hotels, and more for the first time in years as Milton made its way over the Orlando area, but made it out with minimal damage. Now, another storm is barrelling through the Caribbean and we’re sharing the latest updates.
Since his surprise return in 2022, Disney CEO Bob Iger has faced several challenges from turning things around for the parks to finding a niche in the world of streaming and even going head-to-head with the Governor of Florida.

But, Iger has announced that he plans to step down in 2026, leaving us wondering just who will take his place. A succession search committee has been at work for a while now, and it sounds like we may be getting closer to having our answer.
