food IS a theme park
On the hunt for a new snack to try in Disney World? So are WE!
Main Street Confectionery
We’re constantly looking out for new treats to review. And with Disney releasing new treats seasonally for all kinds of celebrations (like Valentine’s Day or Black History Month), it’s usually not very hard to find something unique. But on a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, something really caught my eye in Main Street Confectionery!
As a Theme Park Reporter, it’s my job to go to Disney World…ALL. THE. TIME.

And when you go to Disney World multiple times a week, there are some things you learn rather quickly. I can direct you toward any souvenir you’re looking for, give a recommendation for the best value lunch spot, and of course, I know which bathrooms in Disney World are absolutely ELITE. But before I learned all those things? I learned how to pack for the theme parks. My bag typically has everything I need for a successful park day…but what would happen if I tried to go bagless?
We’re constantly on the lookout for new additions that could change your Disney World vacation!
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
This means we keep an eye on the construction projects going on within the property lines, but it also means we keep up-to-date with Orlando area news! And recently, it was announced that a NEW development is being built near Disney Springs.
For a long, long time now, there has been one snack we’ve been hoping would come to Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
At Disneyland Park, they have New Orleans Square instead of Liberty Square. And in New Orleans Square, you can order some delicious, fluffy, sweet beignets. If you want that yummy treat in Disney World, you have to head all the way over to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter…but not for much longer!
We’re seeing quite a bit of construction in Disney World these days.
So much construction!
From massive makeover projects at the resorts to new restaurants to the addition of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, there’s quite a bit to look forward to in 2024. But sometimes, construction projects can negatively impact your vacation. And that might be the case with one refurbishment in Magic Kingdom!
Are you ready for 2024? We know we are…because NEW things are coming to the Disney World hotels!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new Disney Vacation Club tower, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is getting some serious updates, and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting The Cake Bake Shop restaurant. But that’s not all that’s coming to the BoardWalk — and we’re here to report on another change!
Disney’s BoardWalk is getting some BIG changes these days!

The rooms are getting complete makeovers, but there are also some new dining locations under construction with The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs coming soon. However, even though several new things are coming soon…this week we had to say goodbye to one restaurant!
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is in full swing, and we were there on the first day to check out ALL the offerings!
Festival of the Arts
We stopped by every food booth, checked out the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, scoured the art on display, and enjoyed the various performers and artists out and about. But there’s one big problem with this year’s festival…and nobody seems to be talking about it!
The Dining Plan is back in Disney World, and there’s a lot to talk about!
Mickey Bar!
The Disney Dining Plan is a way to pre-pay for your meals during your vacation, allotting each traveler a certain number of meal credits and snack credits per day of their trip. We’ve seen some big changes with the plans available since they came back at the beginning of 2024, but perhaps one of the most important things to talk about is Disney World’s FREE dining deal — what does it look like this year and will we get more deals?
Things are changing a lot in Disney World these days!
@Disney
The EPCOT transformation is nearly complete, several hotels are getting big makeovers, and the old Splash Mountain is getting converted into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. Outside of the ride being closed, that last one hasn’t affected park traffic too much…until now!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
