food IS a theme park
Disney fans, get ready for a comedic and shocking documentary on the history of mischievous activity inside Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
That’s right; we’re getting a Disney true-crime documentary. It will supposedly expose some of the thievery that had taken place at Disney World. Let’s take a look!

Oh, Disney World, you and your vast history never cease to amaze us.
Tomorrowland
Through its 50+ year history, many attractions around the park have come and gone. Some of them were sad goodbyes, while others were…not so missed. However, if you know where to look, there are tons of nods to old attractions that used to be, and some are more obvious than others. For example, we heard some chatter in the Magic Kingdom recently. It seems some people are confused about the large dark windows you can see in Tomorrowland, and we figured it was the perfect time to clear up the confusion!
We’ve been covering Disney World food for 15 years, and that means we have many memories of things that were…unfortunate in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Mickey Waffle (2009)
Yes, we’ve had our fair share of not-so-great Disney World snacks, but there were two things about Disney World that DID have to do with dining, but not in the way you’d expect, that was ROUGH. These two things went from being constantly complained about to now being non-issues, which shows just how far things have come in a decade and a half. Those two things? Coffee and water.
Disney World is a place that many of us visit to feel happy, nostalgic, and care-free for a few days. After all, it’s known as The Most Magical Place on Earth for a reason!
Isn’t she lovely?
However, as much as Disney does try to distract us from the stressors associated with the realities of everyday life, there are some things that even pixie dust can’t fix. Sometimes, bad things happen — even at Disney World. Sometimes, when you take a closer look at things, they don’t seem so magical after all. Disney has handled a global pandemic, countless hurricanes, and even hurricanes and fires. How does Disney prepare for these things, and how do they recover? Let’s talk about it!
Many Disney characters have made their marks, and continue to make an impact, on Disney’s parks.
Look, it’s Stitch!
Many Disney rides have closed over the years and been replaced by others — some rides you may have even completely forgotten about! The fan-favorite Disney alien, Stitch, used to have more than just cool (but sometimes creepy) merchandise in the parks (we’re looking at you Stitch Crashes Disney Collection). In fact, the history of Stitch in Disney World is pretty wild, and we’re here to give you all the details!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration kicks off this week!
Earidescence is everywhere!
While the official start of the festivities isn’t until October 1st, we’ve already seen special things around the parks, like banners, signs, and merchandise. Two of the 50th anniversary collections have been released in Disney World, and it looks like we’re about to get another one soon!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration is going to be MASSIVE!
We’re ready to celebrate!
We’re expecting new fireworks shows, new cavalcades, new daytime entertainment, and even a new ride. Plus, more restaurants with special offerings will be open by then, so you certainly won’t get bored during your visit. However, if you can’t make it on October 1st, don’t worry — Disney World is hosting a TV special for those at home!
We have seen several documentaries on the history of Disneyland and Disney World premiere on Disney+ recently.

From The Imagineering Story to the newly released, Behind the Attraction, we have gotten a peek behind the curtain that we did not have before! Today, Disney added to this collection with a new mini-series! [Read more…]
Disney World is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year beginning on October 1st and for the following 18 months!
Cinderella Castle
In addition to all the upcoming 50th anniversary merchandise, Disney is also releasing a book covering the past 50 years of Disney World, and it’s now available for pre-order!
Don’t get us wrong — we LOVE Disney World. We’re there every day, and we still get a little teary-eyed when we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and see Cinderella Castle. Disney World IS our happy place!
Welcome to our happy place!
But at the same time, there have been some things that Disney World has done that left us scratching our heads and asking, “What gives, Disney?” We’ve seen some pretty ridiculous things happen at the parks over the years, and some were so outrageous that we’ve totally forgotten about them!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
