food IS a theme park
The Disney Dining Plan returned to Disney World in 2024, and it came with a NEW set of rules!
Cinderella Castle
Disney changed its Dining Plan offerings, as well as increased the price, so our recommendations for how to fit the plans into your vacation are a bit different these days. That’s why we’ve rounded up the NEW rules you have to follow for the Disney Dining Plan.

Let’s be honest—staying hydrated during a long Disney day is non-negotiable. Whether you’re rope-dropping at Magic Kingdom or sprinting across EPCOT for a Guardians virtual queue, you need water. And not just any water bottle will cut it. That’s where Owala comes in.
Owala Water Bottle
We’ve spotted some major Amazon deals on Owala’s insanely popular tumblers, and we had to share. These bottles are stylish, durable, and—most importantly—actually keep your drinks cold for hours (yes, even under that Florida sun). Let’s check out every single Owala water bottle you can snag on sale right now.
Disney just announced that it will be building a landmark seventh theme park in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The new resort will be located on Yas Island, a spot known for entertainment and tourism, and Disney has announced it will partner with Miral Group to bring it to life. While Disney has kept most details about this new park to itself so far, we do have a rough idea of when it might open!
Do you love Disney princesses? Well, one of the first Disney Princesses was Princess Aurora, who appeared in Disney’s 1959 animated film, Sleeping Beauty.
Aurora
Now you may remember that in that film, the fairies argued over what color to make Aurora’s dress: should it be pink or blue? Well, now YOU get to decide with Disney’s latest souvenir, a pair of ears, that lets you wear the color of your choice, pink or blue.
Living right next to Disney World sounds like the ultimate Disney Adult dream. But one major factor is dashing that dream for many.
Magic Kingdom
Orlando is often called the Theme Park Capital of the World, and for good reason. Home to Universal Orlando, Disney World, SeaWorld, and several other major theme park resorts, you’d be hard-pressed to find a city that draws in theme park tourism quite like Orlando. As such, it makes sense that a lot of people would LOVE to move to this Central Florida area and have daily access to their favorite theme parks. Unfortunately, a new report suggests moving here is not as easy as it sounds.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is in for some big changes! Imagineers will add some new and exciting things to the park, but they will also remove some things, for good.
Hollywood Studios
The changes at Hollywood Studios are already in motion, as Disney starts to prepare to build the brand-new Monsters INC. Land. However, that means out with the old and in with the new — because Muppets Courtyard is closing a lot sooner than you realize!
We can’t pick just one thing we love about Disney World the most, but food would definitely be at the top of the list.
Yak & Yeti Restaurant full spread
We’re not going to lie, though, Disney food can be pricey, and those costs can seriously add up quickly. But, Disney has a way to make things just a BIT easier with the Disney Dining Plan! Recently, Disney offered a Dining Plan for FREE for certain vacation packages, but it looks like that may no longer be the case.
Let me save you from the same mistakes that ate up way too much of my park time.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World is magical, but that magic can wear off real quick when you’re standing in an hour-long line for a B-tier ride or wandering a resort at midnight trying to find your room. Trust me — I’ve done Disney more times than I can count, and I still find myself learning lessons the hard way. So here are four things I will absolutely never do again in Disney World, and I’m hoping they’ll help you skip a few regrets too.
If you love going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando, you have probably fallen in love with the sweetest of beverages, good old butterbeer.
However, you might also know that there is only one way in Orlando to get that butterbeer — and it’s by visiting one of the three Wizarding World of Harry Potter lands (including the one in Epic Universe). That means if you want to enjoy that sweet nectar preferred by witches and wizards, you need a Universal Orlando park ticket. Well, we’ve got BIG news — NOT ANYMORE. You can now get butterbeer outside Universal’s parks; no park ticket required.
