food IS a theme park
This time of year, gingerbread is a near-daily occurrence for us, and a CONSTANT craving!
BoardWalk Bakery
Fortunately, Disney World understands our spicy yearnings, and delivers with a veritable parade of endless gingerbread sweets. While we’ve certainly tried MANY gingerbread treats already, this latest arrival at BoardWalk Bakery earns bonus points by garnishing a cupcake with a cookie!
Disney World is no stranger to avante-garde cooking and culinary innovation. Just look at some of the crafty creations, from escargots puff pastries and BLUE barbecue sandwiches (?!) to Tomato Margaritas!

Just barely a month ago, one of our fav snack spots in Disney World was roaring back to life and filling our hearts with grilled chicken and Simba Cupcakes!

Well, things are about to change for Harambe Market, as the counter-service Animal Kingdom restaurant is going weekends-only right after the holidays!
As the days go by and restaurants throughout Disney World continue to reopen, we’re still hoping for a return from one of our favorite dining spots in EPCOT!
Japan Pavilion
Tokyo Dining has remained closed in World Showcase (aside from a limited few days in November), but with continued menu tweaks, we’re anxious that this MIGHT be a sign that a reopening is around the corner!
This time of year, it’s absolutely CRUCIAL to consume a steady stream of peppermint, in order to maintain proper holiday giddiness! Fortunately, whether it’s a GIGANTIC donut or a refreshing cocktail, Disney World has those peppermint cravings covered!
Animal Kingdom Holidays
Beyond the popular snack picks, we discovered ANOTHER way to add a little peppermint to your life with this ice cream hack at Animal Kingdom!
Nowadays, we’ve grown accustomed to things changing at Disney World. In addition to TONS of additions and new construction, this frequently means nostalgic items (and clown slides…) are removed!
Tron Lightcycle Run Construction
At Magic Kingdom, the epicenter of Disney World nostalgia, we noticed some longtime fixtures have been removed from Main Street, U.S.A.!
As with MANY parts of EPCOT, big changes are afoot in the World Showcase, and new updates are emerging seemingly on a daily basis!
World Showcase
This is especially true of the Morocco Pavilion! Although much of it is newly closed, the shops have JUST reopened!
With social distancing markers throughout Disney World these days, we’ve gotten used to waiting in weird lines that zig and zag ALL over the place…
