food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We like to come by the park regularly to make sure we’re keeping up with everything going on so we can keep you updated! So, let’s take a look at what’s new at Magic Kingdom.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
The global pandemic continues as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading throughout the world.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign
Places like Florida have broken case records over the past month, there have been travel restrictions and advisories put into place, and thousands of flights have been canceled due to the spreading of Omicron. But, people in the United States can now order free at-home COVID-19 tests from the government, and we’re here to tell you how.

Popcorn buckets are a big deal in Disney World!
Popcorn Bucket in Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen such fun versions of them, too, like special ones for Halloween, buckets for Christmas, and those that look like your favorite characters. We love checking out all of the Premium Popcorn Buckets of special shapes and sizes, and all of the standard Refillable Popcorn Buckets around the parks. So, let’s take a look at ALL of the popcorn buckets you can get in Disney World right now!
UPDATE: As of January 17th in the afternoon there were no more Figment popcorn buckets available at Pop Eats! When we spoke with a Cast Member they indicated that they were not sure if or when they would obtain more Figment popcorn buckets. We’ll continue to look for updates.
Super popular items tend to sell out quickly in Disney World.
No Lightsabers
That’s why we were a bit shocked to see that the ridiculously popular Figment popcorn bucket didn’t sell out right away at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts! There were lines wrapped through the park, hours long waits for multiple days, and even people selling the bucket online to the highest bidder. But, we think Figment’s time may have finally come to an end.

There have been travel bans for certain countries and warnings not to travel to others, as well as thousands of flights being canceled due to the rise of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. But recently, France has relaxed its travel restrictions for one country it had previously banned all but essential travel from.
Disney World has SO many restaurants to choose from, it’s sometimes hard for us to pick our favorites!
Lunch at Steakhouse 71
And there is such a huge variety, too. You can spend $5 or $500 on food, grab a snack quickly or sit down for a whole meal experience, and try theme park classics or items from around the world. There is really something for almost everybody at Disney World, but what are people’s absolute FAVORITE places to eat?! Well, we asked our readers if they could only keep ONE Disney World restaurant, which one would they keep? And, the results are in!
Greetings from Walt Disney World!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
January might seem like the slow season in Disney World, but we’ve seen some pretty decent crowds lately with the end of the holiday season and the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. We like to keep up with how lines are looking in order to gauge how busy it is, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week!
It’s the first day of EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, and we’ve been eating SO MUCH food!
This festival is SO colorful
We’ve tried lobster jello (yeah, really!), a delicious margarita, and some awesome seafood! Now, we’re trying out a booth that got a little update this year! Come with us as we check out Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina!
Ah, Joffrey’s, how we love you so! The popular Disney World coffee spot has many locations throughout the parks and offers up great drinks and delicious giant donuts.
