food IS a theme park
Ok, y’all, it’s October 1st, and that means it is OFFICIALLY, officially Halloween season.
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
We’ve been gearing up for spooky season all of September. We visited Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on opening night, ate TONS of Halloween treats, and did lots of Halloween shopping. But we have at least one more Halloween to-do on our list — get a BOO BUCKET from McDonald’s!
The game is ON at EPCOT.
EPCOT
Fall is one of our favorite times of the year at EPCOT, thanks to all the special events associated with the International Food & Wine Festival Festival. One of our favorites in 2024? Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit.
Do you like character meet-and-greets at Disney World?
Chip and Dale in Dinoland!
It’s always tons of fun when you get to meet your favorite characters and have a fun conversation with them! Disney brings them from the big screen to real life, and it’s always so exciting. Most recently, we’ve even gotten to meet some of our biggest heroes from Marvel comics and movies. Most of these Marvel characters are over in Disney California Adventure on the West Coast, but now a popular Guardian is dancing his way around EPCOT!
We are always on the lookout for ways to save our readers money, and there is a Southwest Airlines sale we want you to know about!

It’s not uncommon to see Disney rides close for a little while!
Disneyland
Rides often have to close temporarily to get refurbished, whether that means a complete overhaul or just some paint touch-ups and simple tech updates. Because of this, it’s important to check the refurbishment calendars before you head out on your Disney vacation, that way you’re not caught off guard!
Who’s ready to do some shopping?
Loungefly Wall at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom
If the answer was a loud NO, then this may not be the best post for you right now, but save it and come back to it later when your wallet won’t scream at you! Or, if it is screaming at you but you’re blocking it out, welcome! We’re doing the same thing over here. A whopping TWELVE new Loungefly bags just dropped online, and we gotta be honest — we’re trying not to buy them all.
When two of our favorite things collide, you know we’re going to be over the moon about it. So when we heard that Disney and Harry Styles were going to collab, we were HYPED!
Disney Springs
A Harry Styles pop-up featuring his brand Pleasing opened up at Disney Springs last Saturday, and the excitement was shared with many fans, including us! And if you’re curious as to what this pop-up shop looked like, we’ve got you covered with a look inside.
