food IS a theme park
We spend an unreasonable amount of time in Disney World parking lots.
EPCOT Parking Plaza
We have a team of local Central Florida residents who visit the theme parks nearly every day, and that means we’re doing a LOT of driving and parking.

Whether you know and love Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) or just discovered that there is another airport near Disney World besides Orlando International Airport (MCO), we have some exciting news that could make flying to Disney World easier!

Disney World changes all the time, and even for people like us who are in the parks every single day, we still get confused sometimes about what the best way is to make sure your Disney World trip works for you.
Magic Kingdom
One of our favorite ways to make Disney work for us is to save money anywhere we can. Something you’ll often find costs the most when you’re in Disney World that it sometimes feel you can’t really get around is dining. However, there IS a way to successfully bring down the cost of dining on your vacation, and it may not be in the way you expect.

Going to a theme park ALONE can be daunting, but I do it ALL THE TIME anyway.
Disneyland
When we’re covering massive events like Disneyland Resort festivals, we usually use a team of multiple reporters.

I’m bringing you the realities of that experience and what you can expect.
