EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

We Know Where Every EPCOT Fan Will Be on January 16th

By 1 Comment

We might be neck-deep in the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, but the holidays will be over before we know it, and we’ll be counting down the days to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts (which is my favorite EPCOT festival).

The 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts starts on January 16th and runs through February 23rd, and will bring all kinds of visual arts, performing arts, and yes, culinary arts around EPCOT with artist booths, the Disney on Broadway concert series, and outdoor food kitchens. However, an experience that’s returning this year will change a little bit…the Visual Art in Performance series will be moving to Communicore Hall.

We love checking out all the unique souvenirs and packaged snack options available throughout the World Showcase at EPCOT!

Japan Pavilion

Not only is it fun to see what other countries snack on, but it’s also a great way to immerse yourself in the culture! One of our favorite places to find exciting snacks and candy is at Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT — and a popular snack is officially BACK!

By Leave a Comment

Okay, so we all probably signed up for Disney+ because we want to have access to all our favorite Disney movies and TV shows, right? Plus all that great Star Wars and Marvel content, including shows you’ll only find on Disney+ (like the Emmy award-winning Andor).

2 New Things EPCOT World Showcase Desperately Needs

By 3 Comments

EPCOT’s World Showcase is arguably the most beloved area in Disney World, as millions of guests each year visit the recreations of countries from around the world, each of which offers authentic architecture, design, souvenirs, food, and drinks from the country represented. The only issue? It’s barely changed in the last 4 decades.

I’ve been visiting EPCOT for over 30 years, and the World Showcase hasn’t added a single new country during that time. In fact, a new country hasn’t been added to the World Showcase since Norway in 1988. While that hasn’t necessarily hurt World Showcase’s popularity, there’s no denying the area could use some newness.

CONFIRMED: A Popular Disneyland Ride Will Close in January

By 1 Comment

It’s not always fun to get to Disneyland only to discover your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment. However, the good news is that we usually have a little advance notice when that happens. It isn’t often enough of a notice to reschedule our trips, but at least it prepares us for the disappointment, right?

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland

The early months of the year are usually PRIME time for ride refurbishments in Disneyland. So if you’re visiting then, you’ll want to be aware of which rides are closed. If you’re planning on visiting the park during that time, particularly Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll want to know about this ride closure: Rise of the Resistance will be closed as of January 20th.

Our FAVORITE New Dessert Is Finally Coming BACK to Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Disney giveth, and Disney taketh away. And, sometimes, Disney giveth again — though in this case, it’s technically not Disney that’s bringing back our FAVORITE new dessert.

Deep Fried Hawaiian Rolls

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs at Disney’s BoardWalk is a haven for innovative eats, and their Deep Fried Hawaiian Rolls have quickly skyrocketed to the top of our list. After debuting this summer as a limited-time item, they were taken off the menu, much to our chagrin. But — that’s all changing because this delicious new dessert is returning to Blue Ribbon!

The Rules for Lightning Lanes Are Changing at Disney World in 2026

By 1 Comment

I’ve been going to Disney World for decades, and the one thing I can promise you is that things change every year, and we are always finding new ways to maximize our time in the parks!

Tower of Terror

Disney World’s Lightning Lane system is constantly evolving, and with major ride closures and refurbishments on the horizon, 2026 will require a fresh approach. Strategies that worked in 2024 or 2025 may no longer guarantee smooth sailing. Tier lists are shifting, wait times are fluctuating, and some parks might not even make Multi Passes essential. Whether this is your first visit or you’re a Lightning Lane pro, it’s time to rethink your game plan for Lightning Lanes.
