food IS a theme park

Disney Imagineers have been hard at work for the last five years to reimagine the roller coaster. An Imagineer working on the project just shared new plot details, and we’re even more impatiently waiting to hop on the ride!
Ever since it was first announced, we’ve been waiting to get a first look inside Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge Resort, but now we don’t have to wait any longer!

Lakeshore Lodge is located in the former home of Disney’s River Country water park near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. We have been keeping a close eye on the construction progress, but Disney invited us to come check out the brand-new hotel, and now we’re bringing you an up-close look! Let’s goooooo!
When it comes to spooky season in Disney World, we’ve done it ALL.
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
We’ve tried hundreds of seasonal treats over the years, we’ve checked out the merchandise, and we’ve taken more than our fair share of photos of the Mickey pumpkins. But for the past 17 years, we’ve also been to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) EVERY year that it was available. Today, we’re here to take you on a journey through the past, because the party that we all know and love has changed quite a bit in nearly 20 years. Let’s go back in time!
There are certain rules you need to follow when you step onto an airplane to fly somewhere (like maybe that Disney World vacation). For example, the rules for carry-on luggage, as well as your personal item, are something that airlines typically enforce.
Do you know the new rules about flying with portable chargers?
You also need to follow rules when you’re actually on that airplane, but a certain restriction will be put into effect very soon with American Airlines. This involves the rules revolving around portable chargers.
Isn’t it wild to think that Universal’s Epic Universe is less than a month away from celebrating its first anniversary?! We’re anticipating the park will be busier this summer now that it’s been open for almost a year.
Epic Universe!
It looks like Universal wants to make sure everything is in tip-top shape for the summer, because a popular attraction is closing next week and targeting to reopen JUST in time for the one-year date! Sorry, How to Train Your Dragon fans, but becoming a Viking will have to be on hold during May.

Many people choose to head to Disney World, Disneyland, or Universal Orlando for their family vacations. Whether it’s due to nostalgia, the magic of Disney, or the thrills of Universal, these are the most popular theme parks in the country.
