Luna Luna was the world's first art amusement park — and now, after a long and unexpected journey, this unbelievable, historic display is finally on display for the public once again.
Whether you've spotted it on TikTok, heard rumblings in the theme park community or have no idea what we're talking about (which is ok!!), we're walking you through this historic, mind-blowing exhibit of the coolest theme park you never knew existed, with everything you need to know about what's inside.
There are more ties to Disney than you'd expect — and a priceless art collection to boot — but is it actually worth taking the time and money to go? We get into ALL of that this week, including some helpful tips for if you do plan to see Luna Luna while it's in Los Angeles!

On this very special holiday week episode, we're discussing all of the theme park restaurants and dining i delved into while at Walt Disney World earlier this month. Is it brutally honest? kinda!! Some old favorites have fallen out of favor while some newer (and new-to-me!) table-service restaurants and quick-service spots wowed me. Come for my unabashed love of a reliable Magic Kingdom restaurant, and stay for me maybe never doing character dining again??
If you're wondering where to eat at Disney World, this one will have you covered and more!
