food IS a theme park
This Animal Kingdom eatery has had its hours slashed.
Let’s go to Kusafiri!
A somewhat out-of-the-way yet enjoyable lunch experience at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has seemingly shut down, at least for now. The Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery, tucked into a higher corner of the park’s Africa section, previously offered several unique lunch dishes. However, that wasn’t the case during our last trip to the park.

While the Atlantic Hurricane Season is technically almost over (technically ending November 30th), that doesn’t mean it’s too late for dangerous storms to develop in the region. In fact, as of November 5th, 2024, there’s a massive tropical storm currently churning in the Caribbean.

Are you making the most of Disney World’s hotels?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Ever since the Polynesian Village and Contemporary resorts opened along with Disney World in October of 1971, hotels have been an integral part of the resort experience. Over the last 50+ years, nearly 30 resorts have opened across the property, while several more have been left unbuilt. However, many guests aren’t taking advantage of everything Disney World has to offer.
Disney is setting records…though not in the way you might like.
Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane
Ever since Disney changed its skip-the-line system over to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, we’ve seen fluctuating prices for the passes at Disney World’s theme parks. Now, the first weekend of November is smashing through the previous highs.

With Halloween in the rearview mirror and the calendar flipped to November, we’re almost to the holiday season (no, we can’t believe it either). Besides the annual thawing of Mariah Carey, there’s no clearer cultural symbol of the oncoming season than the grand debut of the Starbucks Holiday Menu. Recently, the iconic chain confirmed when the 2024 version would be in stores.
It’s Holiday time!
Mickey Gingerbread

Deck the boulevard!
While there are still (*checks watch*) a few hours left of Halloween, the almost unbelievable truth is that spooky season 2024 is over, and the holidays are upon us! While we’re still just over a week away from the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season, certain areas of Disney World are already being decked out in their Christmas best, including one of the resort’s theme parks!
