food IS a theme park
Today, we’re taking a look at all the latest Disney and Universal news!
Magic Kingdom
We’re taking you through some big construction milestones in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, the latest on what’s coming to Universal’s EPIC Universe, and everything you need to know if you’re visiting Disney World this week!
Hi, friends! We’re back to bring you some very important Disney Loungefly news!
Loungefly backpacks
If you’re looking to add a new Loungefly to your collection or are in the market for a new park bag, you’re in luck because we have found some all-new Loungeflys online. We’re pretty sure that there’s no such thing as an ugly Loungefly, but these ones are particularly adorable. The brand of backpack is a fun way to show off your love of Disney while also being practical. So let’s take a look at these new Loungeflys that you can grab now just in time for Spring!
We enjoy trying all the new snacks in Disney World. There are so many to choose from, but our goal is to taste them all.
Hollywood Studios
New snacks don’t get into Disney World without us knowing about it. It’s our purpose in life — eat all the Disney food we can find. And yet, one mysterious snack in Hollywood Studios has been like a ghost and never been around when we went to check on it. (It’s either that good that they run out, or it has invisibility properties.) But finally, we stepped into the Twilight Zone and tried — the Terror Cookie.
The merger between Disney and Hulu has brought us access to more streaming content.

Streaming has been Disney CEO Bob Iger’s number one priority since his return to the company. Disney continues to improve subscriber-ship by bringing updates to the Disney+ platform. Since Disney has been in the process of gaining full ownership of Hulu, we’ve seen Hulu and Disney+ become more closely linked. This included the launch of the beta Disney+ app where subscribers have had limited access to Hulu content right on the Disney+ app. Now, things have become more permanent for bundle subscribers.
Will the Easter bunny be hopping over to your house this year?
Disney’s Riviera Resort
It would appear that the Easter Bunny has already made a stop a few days early at Disney’s Riviera Resort. We’re talking about an adorable new, seasonal snack that you won’t want to miss. What does the Easter bunny have in his basket? Eggs, of course! But these new “eggs” at Le Petit Cafe are a much sweeter treat.
Today, March 26th, is the first day that tickets for the 2024 D23 Expo, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, go on sale!
We can’t WAIT!
The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening from August 9th through the 11th in Anaheim, California. There will be panels, showcases, merchandise, announcements, and so much more. These huge events often sell out of tickets VERY quickly, but while we were in the virtual queue waiting to grab our own, we got a popup that we thought you should know about in case it happens to you.
It has been a very long time since we could bound across the wobbly barrel bridge in Magic Kingdom.
The barrel bridge has been closed for a WHILE
You might be wondering why we care so much about a small bridge in Magic Kingdom. Well, frankly, we care about EVERYTHING in Disney World, even a small bridge on Tom Sawyer Island. And that is why we’re here to tell you some exciting news about the bridge, along with more Disney World closures. Come with us to see what will be closed in Disney World this coming week!
We may be the Disney Food Blog, but Universal Orlando has grabbed our attention recently.

Have you heard about the all-new Universal theme park coming to Orlando in 2025? EPIC Universe has garnered the attention of theme park enthusiasts because, frankly, it looks like it’s going to be amazing (I thought about saying epic, but you know…). Universal has only made a few official details known up to this point, but it seems like that might be changing — SOON.
Disney’s biggest fan event of the year is coming up in August!

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening August 9th, 10th, and 11th in Anaheim, CA with a special D23 Day in Disneyland on August 8th! This event is going to be HUGE.

Tickets start going on sale for the event tomorrow, March 26th at 12 PM PT for D23 Gold Members with more tickets being available March 27th and 28th. However, these tickets are limited and only available while supplies last. So what is the best way to guarantee getting tickets? Find out below.
You may be familiar with the various festivals that EPCOT puts on throughout the year.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
These festivals include the Festival of the Holidays, Festival of the Arts, Food & Wine Festival, and the Flower & Garden Festival. So far this year, in 2024, we got to experience the Festival of the Arts from January 12th through February 19th, 2024, and shortly after the Flower & Garden festival began. The Flower & Garden Festival is currently underway and running until May 27th. However, the run time of this spring festival is considerably shorter than it was in 2023, and we have a sneaking suspicion that we might know why.
