Be warned — your Disneyland plans could be impacted by something a little unexpected.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
While tropical storms and hurricanes are something that those traveling to Disney World in Florida know to be prepared for, it’s less of a concern (generally) for those on the west coast. But this week might be a little different.
SOUND THE ALARMS — a beloved EPCOT snack is BACK!
EPCOT
For those who might not remember the good old days, cronuts used to be a BIG thing in EPCOT. These special pastries are a mixture between croissants and donuts (often covered in cinnamon sugar) and they are a masterpiece in sweet goodness. They had disappeared from EPCOT, but now it looks like nature is HEALING.
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is set to open in Disney World this year and some big updates have been shared about the attraction recently.

McDonald’s
We’ve seen a number of new Happy Meal toys hit this popular fast food spot in the past few months — from ones themed to The Marvels to more exclusive options. But now we’ve got some exciting news.
Disney World has some pretty incredible hotel rooms, but there’s one that stands out above the rest.

Well, if you’ve always dreamed of staying inside this unique room, there’s a big update you need to know about!

Ready to take a look inside this new spot? Let’s GO!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is opening soon, but a special group will get to see it FIRST.

Churros — you’ll find them all over the Disney parks and sometimes with unique toppings or flavor combinations!
Big Top Treats
And while many will argue that the Disneyland churros are FAR superior to those at Disney World, the Most Magical Place on Earth does still sometimes get fun churros or churro-themed creations. That’s just what we experienced when we picked up 2 seasonal snacks in Disney World, but we’ve got one big issue we still need to talk about when it comes to churro treats in Disney World.
Okay, okay — we know there’s going to be a LOT of debate on this one but we’ve just got to talk about the Quick Service restaurants in EPCOT.
EPCOT
There are so many food options in this park and that can make it incredibly overwhelming to know which one is the “best” one to pick for you and your group.

What are some of the BEST or most ICONIC meals in the park that you’re missing out on? Don’t worry — we’ll tell you!
