food IS a theme park
Universal has a brand-new Easter-themed horror event, but it’s not where you’re expecting.
Universal Horror Unleashed
Universal Horror Unleashed debuted in Las Vegas back in 2025, and we loved checking it out when it first opened. This year-round horror experience offers haunted houses, including this brand-new holiday offering! The Feaster Grievings experience will be held at Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas from April 1st through May 2nd, 2026!
Our very own AJ Wolfe released her first book, Disney Adults: Exploring a Magical Subculture, back in August 2024, and we’ve heard from so many of you about how much you just love it (and we’re so happy Disney Adult culture is finally being REALLY seen).
Disney Adults Book!
If you’ve been wanting a chance to meet AJ yourself and even get your book signed, there’s an event coming up in Chicago that you won’t want to miss. Not only will you get a chance to meet AJ, though, you’ll also get a tour of the Walt Disney Birthplace. Now, how’s that for some Disney Adult fun?
We recently sailed on Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure!
The Disney Adventure
This stunning ship is unlike any other in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, and its home base is in Singapore, taking 3-night and 4-night sailings entirely at sea, with no port stops. We got to experience much of what the cruise has to offer, and we’ve have some serious tips for how to plan your sailing!
Okay, it’s time to talk about pizza in Disney World. Now, you know, we’re not always big fans of the pizza you can find in the parks…let’s just say it doesn’t really impress us. But there are still places to get great pizza…if you know where to look.
This is great pizza, y’all
Obviously, one of our favorite spots is Via Napoli in EPCOT, but what if you’re craving pizza in Disney’s Hollywood Studios? It’s not like you can go to PizzeRizzo anymore, right? Well, we found great pizza hiding in an unexpected spot: BaseLine Taphouse.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is known for many things, but two of the most prominently talked about are the vibes and overall theme of the resort, as well as the different dining options available.
It’s time to eat!
However, when people talk about this hotel and the dining spots you’ll find there, they often rave about ‘Ohana or Tambu Lounge, and while we’re not saying those places don’t deserve the praise, there’s also another spot that’s much easier to get reservations for, and it’s right near by — here’s why we don’t think you should forget about Kona Cafe, especially with these new menu items!
Would you spend less time in Disney World theme parks if you could pay less for theme park tickets?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
That’s the burning question of the moment, thanks to a new Disney World ticket offer for 2- or 3-day tickets that can only be used after 2 PM at the parks. Now, we’ve asked YOU, our readers, what you thought about this deal, and let’s just say your reactions were mixed. So we’re going to break it down and do the math to help you decide if this ticket deal is worth it.
Harry Potter: A Hogwarts Express Adventure is an hour-long live show touring nationwide soon. Theatergoers will literally board a slow-moving train to ride the Hogwarts Express for some magical hijinks!
Hogwarts Express
The show includes scripted scenes, puppetry, illusions, live singing, dancing, and a great deal of audience interaction. Plus, you’ll be able to participate in competitions with Hogwarts hosts to rack up points for your Hogwarts House. The opening date was just revealed, and it’s happening sooner than you might think!
Early Entry is one of Disney’s most POPULAR perks, and it’s about to expand!
Early entry sign!
A quick refresh on Early Entry before we begin: Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels (and select other hotels) can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into each of Walt Disney World’s theme parks every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days). Now that’s out of the way, let’s move on to what’s changing!
We know, we know, you’re probably tired of hearing the words “construction” or “refurbishment” with “Disney World” in the same sentence, but hey, it is what it is!
Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge
There are a lot of construction projects happening around Disney World right now, and while lots of it is in the theme parks, many of Disney World’s hotels are also undergoing construction or seeing refurbishments as well. In fact, one big refurbishment project begins just next month, and we want to make sure everyone’s prepared, since it may affect what you see and hear around your hotel.
It’s finally happened! Although Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin isn’t scheduled to reopen in Magic Kingdom until April 8th, the ride has soft opened, which means you may get to ride it earlier than that.
We love Buddy!
The ride closed in August 2025 to get a series of updates that change the ride experience, as well as make it even more interactive for those who ride it. Disney even added a brand new character to the ride, Buddy, who shows you how to use the new ride vehicles and blasters to get the highest score possible. Even reaching Galactic Hero has changed, and if that’s your goal, we’re going to tell you all about it.
