Hey, Disney…is everything ok?

If you’ve been trying to get onto the Disney World website today, you’ve probably run into this issue — for a LONG time! On the positive side, you’re not alone. However, today is a big day, and the site is stressing everyone out, including me.
Disney World might be the most magical place on Earth, but not every guest is on the same page about how to keep the magic alive.
We love Disney Adults — we ARE Disney Adults — but some behaviors we see in the parks make us cringe so hard we wish we could disappear into Cinderella Castle. These moments aren’t just awkward; they can really put a damper on the guest experience for everyone else around. If you’ve been guilty of any of these, consider this your friendly wake-up call to stop doing them.
One of our FAVORITE times of the year is coming up — and we’re not talking about spooky season (though we do love it just as much).
The 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will take place from August 28th to November 22nd. This highly anticipated festival will span over 80 days, offering global marketplaces filled with food, concerts, and other family-friendly activities. Disney recently dropped the full list of menus we can expect to enjoy at this event, but now we officially know PRICES as well!
Some Disneyland snacks are just ICONIC. Yep, we’re talking about Mickey-shaped beignets, churros, and corn dogs. However, the classic DOLE Whip could be the most popular snack in Disneyland, and for good reason — it’s been around in Disneyland since 1986.
Well, if you love DOLE Whip in all its incarnations and you find yourself in Disney California Adventure, you’ll now be able to order your favorite DOLE Whip treats via Mobile Order at Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats — that’s what we call a DOLE Whip WIN.
For all its fun and pixie dust, even Disney World has its not-so-magical moments. We asked, and Disney Adults aren’t holding back about the eyesores they wish would disappear.

In fact, when we asked Disney Adults to spill the tea on what they consider the most hideous things in the parks, past and present, they didn’t hold back. From resort architecture that feels more 1970s airport than fairy tale, to attractions that are underwhelming, these are the design missteps and visual nightmares that still make fans cringe.
Disney’s Beak and Barrel lounge is almost open!

The new pirate-themed lounge in Disney World is set to continue the story from the iconic attraction Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s going to feature Galley Grub, specialty cocktails, and more in Adventureland. If you’re looking to dine with the pirates, you can soon make reservations at Disney’s newest dining spot!
Disney collaborates with a lot of brands, which is why we have amazing jewelry from BaubleBar, fun bags Lug from Loungefly, Disney-themed shoes by Vans and Crocs, and so much more.
Well, there’s a new collaboration we need to tell you about. Disney is collaborating with La La Land Kind Cafe to bring the cafe’s first-ever kids’ menu themed to Mickey & Friends. Yep, Mickey and his buddies are coming to your local La La Land Kind Cafe.
Your Magic Kingdom day can be the most stressful on your Disney World trip. Magic Kingdom has the most rides, and it can be hard to try to fit them all into a single visit.
One way to get in some extra park time can be with Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours. While Extended Evening Hours is only for select Disney World Resorts, every guest staying at any Disney World Resort gets 30 minutes of extra time before the park opens. Once you scan in, where should you start?
Disney World is always changing, and in 2025, that is no different.

I’ve been writing about Disney World for 2 years, and the one thing that is always constant about Disney is that we will continue to see it change and evolve. If you have a trip planned for 2025 or even into 2026, there are some BIG updates coming for Disney hotels that might impact your trip.
