food IS a theme park
Ready or not, 2025 is practically HERE!

Which means YOU need to start getting ready for that BIG Disneyland trip that you’re gonna be taking next year — and STAT. (Hmm… I think I know JUST the video that can help you out with that… THIS ONE!)
We’ve dined in some strange and unique places in Disney World!
Hollywood Studios
We’ve eaten inside of cars, next to aquariums, and even in space. Disney knows how to do themed dining, and so when we got the chance to go to a restaurant that feels like dining in mom’s kitchen, we were like “Sign us UP!” The only catch? They might yell at us!
Who wouldn’t want to live in a fairytale castle? Especially a fairy tale castle that is less than an hour away from Disney World.

Well, if you happen to have $2.2 million to spare, you can make that dream a reality and you can live in a castle that is just 35 minutes away from Disney World!
Y’ALL. WE DID IT. 2025 is nearly here!
Magic Kingdom
It’s been quite the year for Disney, but they aren’t slowing down any time soon. Whether you’re a long-time fan or planning your first trip, there’s something new to look forward to across the parks. From ride closures to EPCOT festivals (hooray!) and beyond, here’s a look at what will be different at Disney World in the first month of 2025!
Uh oh! You’ve forgotten to make a reservation for a restaurant in EPCOT, and now you’re scrambling to find a decent place to enjoy a nice meal.
EPCOT
While it’s true that most restaurants around EPCOT can fill up quickly with reservations, especially during heavier seasons like when special dining packages might be offered, there are a few tried and true restaurants we like to turn to when we’re feeling a bit spontaneous. We recently set out for a meal at one of these options that has a bit of a divisive reputation for its quirky menu, and we’ve got to admit its newest offerings probably aren’t going to bring unity.
If there’s one thing we know about The Walt Disney Company, it’s that they like to keep us on our toes. You never know what Disney might announce! Who would have guessed that a Villains show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios?! From Magic Kingdom to EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, every single Disney park will change in 2025. What does that mean for you? Well, your trips will change, too!
Cinderella Castle
If you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, you’re going to want to listen carefully. Three of the four parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – are about to become complete construction zones. In a few years, these big changes will totally enhance Disney World. But for the next few months…it’s going to be, well, a mess. These are the biggest news drops that will change your trips to Disney World in 2025.
Who’s ready to build?

Heads up, LEGO fans, if you’re in the market for some new Disney builds, head over to Amazon ASAP. Currently, the E-tailer has several Disney sets on sale, some near 40% off! Are any of them for you?
I am an Orlando local who LOVES theme parks. In fact, it is one of the reasons that I moved to Orlando in the first place. While Disney World holds a super special place in my heart, there are way too many people who are sleeping on Universal Orlando.

I know, I know, this is the Disney Food Blog site, and Universal has nothing to do with Disney food. But hear me out, I really think you should add a day or two to check out Universal Orlando the next time you are visiting Disney World.
MagicBands can make your trip to Disney World a breeze!
MagicBand+
They act as your park ticket, hotel room key, and credit card. Plus, the latest version of MagicBands, MagicBand+, are interactive! They light up and vibrate during stage shows, nighttime entertainment, and when you pass by certain things in the parks and around the resort, like the character statues throughout all four parks.
The only downside of these new MagicBands is that they need to be charged, and if you have multiple MagicBands that need to be charged at once, it can be hard to remember to switch each one to be charged once you return to your hotel room after a long day in the park. Well, we found the perfect solution to the charging problem on Amazon, and the best part? It is on sale!
