Four scenes from two days in the parks.

Road trip recap, day 1. These photos require no watermark.

Hello from Tallahassee

H.U.M.A.N. Day is coming to Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios. I’ll write about it tonight from Mississippi. If I’m not too wiped out.

Today starts a 2-day drive across the deep south back to Texas. I'm helping a friend move back to the metroplex. Wish I had a L.I.M.O.

Find someone who looks at you like Bluey looks at this Cast Member.

The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend registration opens on Monday, June 8 at 10 AM ET.

No matter what us theme park experts think, Bluey’s Wild World is a MASSIVE hit with the target demographic.

Universal United Kingdom Resort. UUKR is not to be confused with UKR. The latter is way hotter.

Choose your champion: Grogu, Pluto, Jessie & Woody, or Goofy.

I had plenty of time to enjoy this giant Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets guitar this evening. That queue was moving kinda slow. I blame Joe from Legal.

Update on the runDisney registration woes: “We want to reassure everyone that we will communicate the new date and time at least 24 hours before registration opens. We don't have those details to share just yet, and registration won't take place this week.” 1/2

Welcome back, water.

Happy pride from Hollywood Studios.

After some tech issues, Disney has pulled the plug on today’s runDisney Princess Half Marathon registration; “Unfortunately, registration will not take place today. We'll share an update on runDisney social accounts by 8:00 PM ET this evening. We appreciate your patience.”

It’s humid in Florida.

Soon, Beaker. Soon.

I bought beautiful pieces from @sonderquest.bsky.social, @jaimetinyart.bsky.social and more. Love getting mail in June!

So much greatness to be had. Get in there now!

Solo trip this week as I’m helping a friend move back to Texas. Spending two days in the parks before that grueling road trip. Come take some pics with me.

We created a Universal Kids Resort calendar that combines park hours, AP blockouts, park closures, and more. diservations.com/universal-ki...

We still don’t know what Universal Kids Resort will charge for parking in its main lot. But if you’re planning to visit the hotel without a room reservation, be prepared for sticker shock. Hotel parking will set you back $50 if you stay longer than three hours.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

Bluey’s Wild World is going standby at Animal Kingdom. The only thing I was dreading about my solo 2-day trip next week was that 7 AM Virtual Queue drop. But Disney came through for me (and all those parents). diservations.com/blueys-wild-...

Now that we have an opening date, it’s time to start sharing our Universal Kids Resort countdowns. I’m looking forward to updating these pics with shots taken from the other side of the fence. Make your own here: diservations.com/personal-cou...

Disney just previewed a major round of My Disney Experience improvements focused on simplifying vacation planning. If you've followed our site regularly, you know I love a good UX update. This is the stuff I geek out over. diservations.com/disney-wants...

Opening day tickets are once again available for Universal Kids Resort. July 1 had been unavailable for both 1- and 2-day tickets for several hours. It’s unclear if this was a technical issue or if Universal simply opened up more availability.

We were finally able to update our Universal Kids Resort countdown clock with ticking seconds. diservations.com/countdowns/u...

Universal Kids Resort’s Annual Passes are more expensive than other DFW theme park options, but the value is hard to ignore. We break down why these passes are a solid deal, and why we suspect Universal has additional AP tiers planned for the future. diservations.com/universal-ki...

Hey, if anybody needs help covering Universal Kids Resort when it opens, I am an available theme park journalist with two kids under 10.

After walking around Universal Kids Resort for 30 months, I’ll finally be heading inside on July 1. We’ll be staying in a park view room, too. Three adults enjoying a kids theme park. Say hi if you spot us!

You won't be able to visit Universal Kids Resort on Thanksgiving or Christmas. But the park will be available a lot more than we thought during the winter months. diservations.com/universal-ki...

Well, our original reporting was correct. Universal Kids Resort is indeed opening on July 1, 2026. Guests can purchase tickets and annual passes now. The hotel is also available to book. diservations.com/universal-ki...

Aerial photo of construction in progress for the 170-ft tall Spike element of Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Also seen is the track placed last week.

Thanks to a tip from @alicia.social, we’ve updated our story about the Trolls throwing out the first pitch at last night’s Texas Rangers game. The mystery Troll has a name: Delta Dawn. diservations.com/new-universa...

We toured The Brady Bunch House today!

A chopper for Dallas’ NBC affiliate spent a lot of time circling Universal Kids Resort this afternoon. Could we be getting an announcement soon?

Tormenta has reached its ride testing phase at Six Flags Over Texas. I love coasters, but holy crap.

Universal Kids Resort sent Queen Poppy and a very Texas-inspired Troll to Globe Life Field last night. Bouffant? Check. Giant belt buckle? Check. The Rangers then scored 8 runs in the first inning. The power of Texas hair is real. diservations.com/new-universa...

Icarus Exhibits is about to plus up Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Disney has filed a permit for new set elements as EPCOT’s dark ride continues its post-3D refresh. diservations.com/disney-files...

2 days, 18 hours, 55 minutes, and 47 seconds until Banana Ball arrives at Walt Disney World. diservations.com/banana-ball-...

Jumping Junction didn't open at Animal Kingdom this morning. The kangaroos are still acclimating to their new habitat. Caregivers also discovered more joeys than expected in one mama kangaroo’s pouch. diservations.com/jumping-junc...

Visiting SEA’s Harrison Hightower and his antiquities. What can go wrong? #TokyoDisneySea

The bell tower in Puss in Boots Del Mar at Universal Kids Resort now has a cat weather vane. The bell was added earlier this month.
