We are setting sail aboard the Disney Destiny ahead of its maiden voyage, and we couldn’t be more excited. The newest ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet is themed around heroes and villains, and we’re feeling pretty heroic after we just toured the ship’s Tower Suite.

After all, the Tower Suite is themed around Marvel’s Tony Stark, and we feel like we’re living it up Iron Man style, just by setting foot in it. So come with us to take a tour of this suite worthy of a superhero.
The holiday season has offically arrived in Disney World. The parks are decked out in festive decor. We’ve been to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights. But what about presents? Wouldn’t you like to receive a gift?
Well, if you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, you’ll have a special surprise waiting for you in your mailbox soon (and we’ve already received ours).
Hello from the Disney Destiny! We are officially cruising on Disney Cruise Line’s brand new ship, and we’re already living it up and enjoying its whole heroes and villains vibe.
Welcome to The Sanctum!
Now that heroic and villainous theme means we’re getting a LOT of Marvel representation on this ship, and that includes a very special Marvel-themed The Sanctum, themed around Doctor Strange. So let’s go inside and see what kind of strange magic Doctor Strange is brewing up.
Another week has passed in Disney World, and it’s been a fun one. The new Zootopia show opened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we got to meet Nick and Judy right after we caught the show for the first time.

The holiday season has also officially kicked off, and we’ve been to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season (and we ate a TON of exclusive party snacks). In the meantime, Disney World restaurants were busy changing their menus, so let’s take a look at the updates!
Okay, so there’s a bar in Disney World that’s pretty popular with a lot of celebrities. That bar is La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT. For example, Neil Patrick Harris frequents this bar so much that he has his own drink AND table.

We’ve also seen the stars of Breaking Bad at La Cava. Model Lily Aldridge designed her own drink for the bar. Well, now, La Cava del Tequila is teasing something with ANOTHER celebrity, and we have no idea what it means (but whatever it is, we’re buying).
Disneyland is full of holiday traditions, but one of those traditions is more popular than pretty much anything else. That tradition is the Disneyland candy canes, which are these MASSIVELY huge candy canes that are made ON SITE.
Disneyland Candy cane!
But getting your hands on a Disneyland candy cane isn’t a matter of just going into one of the candy shops and buying it. Nope, you need to know when, where, and HOW to get your hands on one of these babies. Well, we’ve got ALL the details about getting a candy cane this year, so keep reading for all the important details.
If you fired up Disney+ this weekend, maybe to watch your favorite Disney movie, Star Wars show, or perhaps to catch up on Only Murders In The Building on Hulu, you might have noticed that something BIG has changed.

The Disney+ app has changed! Ahead of Disney+ absorbing Hulu, we guess Disney decided some app updates were in order. So don’t be surprised if your Disney+ looks a little different. Let’s talk about these updates, though.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a brand new land, and as a result, we’ve seen the phased closure of DinoLand U.S.A., with the entire land set to close in February 2026. Looking forward, though, we can’t wait to see Pueblo Esperanza (that’s the new land), as well as ride its attractions.

Well, one of those attractions will be an Encanto-themed ride (and unlike Bruno, we are going to SO talk about it). Now, we’ve seen a model of the ride, as well as concept art, but now we have a full aerial view of the ride’s construction…and y’all, it is HUGE.
If you’ve subscribed to YouTube TV, you’ve probably noticed that you can no longer watch Disney content on the live TV service. That’s because there’s an ongoing dispute between Disney and Google over that content appearing on YouTube TV.

Disney removed its content from YouTube TV several weeks ago, after the two companies failed to reach a new carriage agreement on October 30th. That includes ESPN, ABC, Disney Channel, FX, National Geographic, and Freeform. As it stands, Disney content is still not available on YouTube TV. So the latest update is that there is no update, but something interesting is happening as a result of Disney withholding its content.
