Ranking the Top 10 Best Disney Villian Songs

Labour Day weekend is over, and spooky has officially begun. I've compiled some of the best Disney villain songs to help get you in the mood for Halloween.  10. Every Little Piece - Pete's Dragon An underrated villain duet about scheming to profit off of killing.  Best lyric: it's money, money, money by the pound 9. Oogie Boogie Song - The Nightmare Before Christmas A bop from the best Disney movie for the season.  Best lyric: It's much more fun, I must confess/  with life on the line/ not mine, of course 8. Poor Unfortunate Souls - The Little Mermaid This is a classic Disney villain song that belongs on every playlist. Best lyric: it's she who holds her tongue who gets her man 7. Savages - Pocahontas As the top comment under this Youtube video says " You know, this song's anti-war message would have been much more accepted if they hadn't made this song such an absolute banger of a war song" Best lyric: They're not like you and m...

Your Guide for Planning a Day at Disney's Animal Kingdom

  Disney’s Animal Kingdom is an underrated park at Walt Disney World. Many people are not aware of its existence, what it even is, or what there is to do at the park. Disney’s Animal Kingdom (DAK for short) is 50% zoological park, 50% theme park, and 100% adventure! There truly is something for everyone at DAK. I was a Cast Member at DAK during my Disney College Program. I worked at the front entrance of the park, and the number one question I always got asked by guests was “so…what’s there to do here?” I was asked this question so frequently that I developed a kind of spiel. I would ask some questions about the family - what sort of rides they liked, how old their kids were, what kind of food they liked, and about their favorite animals. From there, I would pull out a park map and outline a few suggestions for the family. This blog post is a form of that spiel, meant to help you plan your day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World.  Best Things To Do At Anima...

3 Reasons Why Disney Parks Should NOT Get Rid of Paper Maps

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. Dining reservations, Genie+, ticket purchasing, showtimes, and more are all done through th...

My Review of Disney's The Little Mermaid (Live Action Remake 2023)

  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. Some of them take the  Beauty and the Beast route and are very similar to the original, but with a few added details.  The Little Mermaid goes the  Beauty and the Beast route.  Basically, it's very similar to the original, but it is 10x more intense. The action scenes had me clenching and the emotional scenes had me crying.  First, the cast. Halle Bailey was phenomenal. Her voice is stunning. Her acting is great, too. 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 At Walt Disney World: Locations, Hours, Tips, and More!

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...

Top 5 Favorite Table Service Restaurants at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World has so many restaurants to chose from, it can be overwhelming trying to decide where to get lunch!  There are two different types of restaurants at Walt Disney World - quick service and table service. Quick service restaurants are similar to fast food and casual dining places. You order your food at the cash register, pick it up, and go. Table service restaurants, on the other hand, are a bit fancier. You'll have a waiter take you to your table and your order will be brought out to you.  Magic Kingdom has many great table service locations, so I decided to narrow them down to my top five favorites: 5. Tony’s Town Square Restaurant This may be a controversial take, but I love Tony’s! Previous reviews have said the food is overpriced and poorly cooked. Thankfully, the restaurant seems to have redeemed itself after a recent menu revamp.  You are paying for the experience, like a lot of other Disney restauran...
