food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a Disney World trip soon, one thing you’ll want to think about before you travel is where you want to eat!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Disney World is home to over 400 restaurants, and for many of them, advance dining reservations are highly recommended. You can make dining reservations 60 days before your trip through the Disney World app or website. And if you’re getting ready to make reservations soon, you should know about a big system update!
We’re Disney Adults. Of course, we have some weird habits and confessions!
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
We spend a lot of time in the Disney World parks (we’re there every day), and we watch a TON of Disney movies (Disney+ is our comfort zone), so we’re pretty deep into the Disney fandom bubble. And when you’re as much of a die-hard fan as we are, you end up with some confessions you need to get off your chest!
I’m a Disney World reporter, and I do some pretty weird things for my job!
The Flower & Garden Festival is HERE!
I take WAY more pictures of my food than any normal person, and it often means that strangers are staring at me in the parks. I’ve eaten at plenty of table service restaurants by myself, carried Tupperware in my park bag for snack leftovers, and memorized countless merchandise displays and Mobile Order menus. But on the first day of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, you could’ve found me in one really unexpected place!
When it comes to Disney World, there are a few things that fans argue about.
EPCOT
Which Magic Kingdom fireworks show is best? What’s the proper order to do the Disney World parks? Monorail or ferry boat? But by far the most popular debate we’ve heard over the years has to do with EPCOT. Should you start your World Showcase trip in Canada or Mexico?
Over the years of visiting Disney World daily, we’ve rounded up a pretty hefty list of our favorite snacks.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
From the delicious Dole Whip treats to the yummy Adventureland spring rolls to our beloved Cheeseburger Pods in Pandora, there are plenty of great things to eat on your Disney vacation! But recently, it looks like Disney quietly CHANGED one of our favorite snacks. And we’re not happy about it!
There’s something BIG coming soon to Magic Kingdom!
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening summer 2024, replacing the former Splash Mountain. With such a major new ride in the park, we’re left wondering what else might change over in Frontierland to adapt to Tiana’s arrival. One thing that has been speculated for months is that Disney will turn the nearby Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe into a Tiana’s Palace restaurant…but should they REALLY do that?Â
Listen, we’ve seen plenty of trends come and go in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
From the rose gold phase to the days when Starbucks tumblers were literally being FOUGHT over in The Emporium, Disney has often been keen to hop on the latest trends. They even change rides and attractions to update them with modern times! But there’s one trend happening in Disney World — and Magic Kingdom in particular — that we’ve got to point out.
There is SO MUCH new food in Disney World lately!
Magic Kingdom
In the month of February, we saw lots of seasonal snacks thanks to both Black History Month and Valentine’s Day. Then, on February 28th, EPCOT kicked off the Flower & Garden Festival with dozens of new dishes and returning favorites. Now, as we roll into March, we’ve got some new treats coming soon to Disney World AND Disneyland Resort for St. Patrick’s Day!
Heading to EPCOT soon? You can experience the International Flower & Garden Festival!
Flower & Garden Festival
This year’s festival runs from February 28th through May 27th, and we were there on the first day to try ALL the food booths and all the new eats (plus some returning favorites!). We battled our way through dozens of dishes with varying prices, and we’re here to tell you that if you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, this festival might be a great place to get some bang for your buck!
Are you a LEGO fan? Are you a Disney fan? If you’re both, we’ve got great news!
LEGO Store at DIsney Springs
Disney often collaborates with LEGO to create awesome sets featuring your favorite movies, characters, and park locations. We constantly have to avoid clicking the “add to cart” button for fear of our bank account’s safety! But if you’re a collector of Star Wars LEGO sets, then you’ll want to brace yourself — some brand-new ones are coming soon!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
