food IS a theme park
You won’t go hungry in Disney World…we PROMISE.
Disney Springs
Especially in the month of February, there are SO many limited-time treats that you couldn’t possibly try them all in a week-long vacation. With Black History Month and Valentine’s Day, we’ve been running around all over the parks to test out the latest creations. And for one offering, we headed over to Disney Springs!
Some Disney World hotel restaurants are pretty spectacular, and others…well, they leave a bit to be desired.
Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort
If you’re staying at one of Disney’s Value Resorts, your dining options will be limited to quick service cafeteria-style food. But if you shell out the extra dough to stay at a Deluxe Resort, we’ve often found that the quick service food quality improves. Riviera Resort’s quick service restaurant was one of our favorites when the hotel first opened in 2019, but how does it stack up now?
Bet you didn’t realize that February is the PRIME TIME for new Disney World snacks?!
Magic Kingdom
Between Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, Disney is really rolling out the red carpet for the new treats, and we’ve been running all around property to try them out. There are quite a few things on our buy list, but you’ll need to head to a Disney hotel for the most adorable of the bunch!
SNACKS! SNACKS! SNACKS! (Chant it with me!)
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Essentially, that’s us, making our way through Disney World on the regular. We’re always on the lookout for new treats to try, and with February kicking off both Valentine’s Day and Black History Month celebrations, we’ve got several snacks to try. But one of the treats is a returning favorite!
We’re seeing quite a few changes at Disney’s BoardWalk these days.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Big River Grille just closed permanently a few days ago, and The Cake Bake Shop is under construction with an opening planned for this year. We’re also keeping an eye on construction at the future home of Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. So with a few food options currently unavailable, the BoardWalk has a new solution!
Disney has made a LOT of television and film content over the years, and we mean a LOT.

And thanks to Disney+, many things have been able to stand the test of time! No need to put that DVD back in the player or wait for a show to pop up on the cable channel when you can just put things on repeat with a streaming service. And now that the 2023 Nielsen ratings are in, we know EXACTLY which Disney movies and shows were most watched last year!
Being a Disney+ subscriber can be pretty sweet!
Disney+ Day in Disney World
Getting to watch your favorite shows and movies over an over again is a perk all on its own, but outside of that, Disney+ will sometimes offer deals to its subscribers. For instance, right now there’s an offer for Disney World where Disney+ subscribers could get a free Dining Plan with their vacation package. But even though that particular deal is ongoing, some other Disney+ perks are ending TODAY!
Have you ever been to an After Hours event in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom After Hours
If you’re a big “run and ride” kind of Disney fan, these types of events are MADE for you. You purchase a ticket and come into the parks in the evening, then you get a few hours after it closes to enjoy several attractions with incredibly low wait times. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we have an important update!
We’ve seen some pretty darn cute things during our time as Disney fans.
Magic Kingdom
From little kids meeting their favorite characters in the parks to families watching the fireworks at Magic Kingdom for the first time, the life of a Disney fan pretty much includes “Aww!” and “How precious!” on a constant rotation in your vocabulary. And if you’re an animal lover, you’re about to smile so hard your cheeks hurt!
There’s a NEW freebie for Annual Passholders in Disney World!
Disney World Annual Pass
There are a few distinct perks to getting a Disney World annual pass — from merchandise and food discounts to savings on hotel rooms, shelling out for the year-round ticket definitely has its advantages. But one of the smaller perks that draws some BIG attention is the Annual Passholder magnets! And there’s a new one in EPCOT right now.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
