food IS a theme park
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. This is especially true if you find yourself heading into Disney’s Animal Kingdom, because the choices there are some of the best around the whole resort.
Time to eat at Yak & Yeti!
We recently stopped by Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom to see if this spot is just as good as it has been in the past, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth making a table service dining reservation during your trip? Let’s find out!
It may feel like Halloween is worlds away, but in reality, it’ll be here before we know it, especially since Disney starts celebrating in August.
Pirates of the Caribbean during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will take place in Magic Kingdom on select nights from August 7th through October 31st, and while it’s a great time to experience some of your favorite attractions with little to no wait, you can also enjoy exclusive snacks, merchandise, and entertainment not available anywhere else. We’re still learning about what offerings will be available this year, and it looks like some of the pirate entertainment is looking a little different this time around!
When we’re at Disney Springs, we love taking the Disney buses to head to a resort for even more Disney magic. But our plans are changing soon, because Disney just enforced a new bus rule!
Disney Bus
Disney Springs is now limiting the Disney buses to Walt Disney World resort guests only! Here’s everything you need to know about this new rule.
Disney World has a way of catching you at your weakest. You’re packing the last pair of sweaty socks into your suitcase. And right when you’re about to accept that vacation is over, Disney slides in with a little whisper: “Wouldn’t you like to come back?”
That, friends, is the marketing trapdoor known as a Disney World bounceback offer. The current bounceback hotel discount has been extended into 2027. That means eligible Disney World hotel guests can book another Disney Resort stay and potentially save up to 35% on select rooms. Sounds great, right? It is. Mostly. But is it the best Disney World hotel discount out there? That depends on your dates, your resort, your willingness to stalk the offers page, or, and whether you have access to better discounts. Let’s get into it.
When visiting Disney theme parks, there are many rules – – both official and unofficial – – that guests have to follow.
Disney Springs transportation rules
That’s especially true this summer, as Disney is enforcing some new (and old) rules at both Disney World and Disneyland.
LEVEL99 opens in Disney Springs tomorrow, June 29th, and we couldn’t be more stoked that the general public will get to experience this high-energy, epic new attraction so soon!
LEVEL99 opens SOON!
We got a chance to explore the attraction a few days ago before its official opening and made it our mission to try out as many of the 63 games as we possibly could (and we got close!). Now that we feel we have a good understanding of the attraction and what it offers, we’ve put together a list of the five things we wish we had known before stepping inside for the first time, so you know them ahead of your trip!
Disney Adults are very good at Disney World. Maybe too good. We know where the good bathrooms are. We know when to mobile order. We know which benches have the best afternoon shade. We know that a Lightning Lane window can turn an otherwise normal person into a tactical commando with a phone battery problem. But Dollywood? Dollywood is a different creature.
Welcome to Dollywood!
It’s still a theme park, yes. There are coasters, shows, snacks, shops, crowds, strollers, and at least one food item you will think about during a random Tuesday staff meeting six months later. But this is not Disney World with more banjos. Dollywood has its own rhythm, its own rules, and its own little Smoky Mountain personality quirks. So, if you’re a Disney Adult heading to Pigeon Forge, here are the rules you’re probably going to break on your first visit.
Disney World is constantly changing and sometimes it can be hard to keep up!

We’re here to monitor those changes, so you’re not surprised on your next Disney World vacation! Here are seven changes coming to Disney World this July!
There are few more nightmarish scenarios for a Disney World vacation than getting sick.

However, if you find yourself in this spot, you have to take care of yourself, even if it means sacrificing some of your vacation time. Trust us, it’s not worth the risk.
We recently covered one of the most terrifying roller coasters yet, the Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas near Dallas, Texas. The roller coaster is going to set SIX world records for roller coasters, including a 309-foot maximum elevation and a descent that will send guests 87 mph. When it opens, it’ll be the world’s longest, tallest, and fastest coaster ever!

Tormenta Rampaging Run was set to open on Friday, June 26th, to commemorate Six Flags Over Texas’ 65th anniversary, but the opening has been postponed, with no new opening date in sight!
