The Disney Dining Plan isn’t a shortcut to cheaper meals. It won’t automatically lower your food costs or turn every purchase into a great deal.

What it does offer is a structured way to prepay for meals, with a fixed number of credits to use throughout your trip. If you use those credits strategically, you can come out ahead on value. If you don’t, it’s easy to spend them on lower-cost meals and miss the point of the plan entirely.

If you’re not on the internet in the theme parks space, you might not know that the Universal Kids Resort is about to open in Frisco, Texas.

However, also bear in mind that the system has a lot of rules, both official and unofficial, but we’d argue that some are meant to be broken.
Disney Springs is home to some fantastic restaurants, but when it comes to recommending them, one of our ultimate favorites is Raglan Road.

Right now, you can visit the restaurant and experience their Summer Lovin’ menu for lunch, and we just have to say it’s one you will NOT want to miss!
If you’ve never been on board a Disney Cruise Line ship, you might not be aware of the kind of fun vacation you’re missing out on. Maybe you’ve been to the parks, but a Disney Cruise is something MORE that lets you get even more time with characters, eat at great restaurants every day, and visit some locations you may never have been to before.
Disney Cruise Line
If you’ve been on the fence about taking a Disney Cruise, Disney wants you to know that Stitch just recently got loose and has dropped some HUGE discounts on select sailings from multiple ports. So that might be the universe telling you it’s time to book the cruise.
Disney World hotel rooms aren’t just where you collapse after 28,000 steps, a camera roll full of Instagrammable snacks, and ugly-cry during a fireworks show. They are also full of weird little surprises.

Some of them are practical. Some of them are adorable. Some of them are oddly specific in a way only Disney could pull off, because the Disney marketing team snuck a tiny hotel-room detail that makes you whisper, “Wait, did Mickey just emotionally manipulate me into booking another trip?” (Yes. Yes, he did.)
Pirates of the Caribbean. Is there any more beloved classic Disney ride? It’s become so popular that it even launched a series of highly successful movies, and we’re not going to get tired of it any time soon.
Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean
As most folks believe, the Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean is far superior because it’s longer and has more scenes, but the ride recently reopened in Disneyland with some changes that could prove…dare we say…controversial? So let’s talk about it.
