By Leave a Comment

Believe it or not, it’s almost time to start planning for this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! While it may still feel like 2026 just started, the truth is we’re just months away from the kickoff of EPCOT’s premier annual event.

By 4 Comments

There are a lot of things people will tell you that you “absolutely need” for a Disney World trip. Portable charger. Comfy shoes. A backup poncho because Florida weather has the emotional stability of a soap opera villain. But if we’re talking true essentials, the My Disney Experience app is way up near the top of the list.

At this point, the app is basically your digital trip sidekick, control center, and occasional chaos manager. It’s where you keep track of your plans, check wait times, place Mobile Orders, join select restaurant waitlists, manage Lightning Lane plans, unlock Disney Resort hotel features, and keep an eye on what the heck is happening around you in real time.

4 HUGE Disney Announcements You Missed This Week

By Leave a Comment

We LOVE Disney news, probably more than anyone we know. We love new announcements for opening and closing dates, menu items being added to our favorite restaurants, and even hearing about new discounts and promotions that will make our next vacation even better. It was a pretty big week for Disney news, but probably not in the way you’re thinking.

Some big changes happened in Disney World this week!

No, new attractions weren’t announced, or hotels for that matter, but nevertheless, these announcements are still BIG deals. Some of them will help you save on your next vacation, some guests got to experience a refurbished ride before its official reopening, but while those things are great, there was also a new system put in place that really threw us all for a loop…and we’re hoping it doesn’t stick around.
