News recently broke that Disneyland Paris has stopped giving paper maps to guests. Instead, guests are expected to use the Disneyland Paris app on their cell phones to navigate through the huge park.  Since Disneyland Paris is often a "testing ground" for new features, many Disney parks fans are speculating that soon Walt Disney World and Disneyland in California will make the same move.  Each Disney park has its own app, and they can be a great place to get information. I myself am a huge advocate for the Disney World app (formerly known as My Disney Experience). However, I can't help but feel that completely  banning  paper maps is a terrible choice for numerous reasons: 1. Banning paper maps will lower guest satisfaction A common criticism of Walt  Disney World's current state is that the park experience is designed to force guests to do everything on their phone.

  Ever since Mulan, I've been skeptical of Disney's live action remakes. But once I saw the trailer, I knew I had to go see The Little Mermaid.    Disney remakes tend to go in one of two directions. Some of them take The Jungle Book route and are drastically different from the original Disney movie.

She definitely pulled off Ariel's curious nature.  Jonah Hauer-King nailed Prince Eric. He is dreamy, brave, and romantic. I especially  enjoyed Wild Uncharted Waters, Eric's new song. With...

Starbucks is the most recognizable coffee chain in the world. Some people have a Starbucks every day, so why should vacation be any different? Luckily for the caffeine-cravers, there are Starbucks at Walt Disney World.  Where is Starbucks located at Walt Disney World? If you're looking for a caffeine fix, you won’t have to look far. There are 6 Starbucks locations in Walt Disney World. There is one in each of the four theme parks, and two in Disney Springs. The Starbucks in the four theme parks may be tricky to locate as they go by a different name in each park to fit the theming.  Magic Kingdom Starbucks The Starbucks at Magic Kingdom is named Main Street Bakery. It is located on Main Street, USA. When you first enter the park, stay to the right. The Main Street Bakery will be next to the Crystal Arts shop.  Just like the rest of Main Street, this Starbucks is themed after a turn-of-the-century bakery. There is no seating in this Starbucks, so you’ll get your order to go...
