The Disney Dining Plan is coming back to the parks!

Disney Dining Plan Shirt

So far Disney has shared that the Dining Plan will be coming back at an undisclosed time in the future. Disney hasn’t really announced too many details about the return of these plans just yet, which leaves us with a LOT of questions. Most importantly — what will the Dining Plan options look like when they return? Since we can’t quite see into the future yet, we thought we’d take a little trip in our imaginary time machine to the past (*cue wind chime flashback music*). What changes has the Dining Plan seen since it was introduced? And could more changes be in store for our old friend the Disney Dining Plan? Here’s what we know. [Read more…]

Has This EPCOT Festival of the Arts Booth Finally Redeemed Itself?!

By Leave a Comment

We’re eating our way around one of EPCOT’s prettiest festivals at this year’s Festival of the Arts.

The 2021 Festival of the Arts

We’ve already tried some delicious (and BEAUTIFUL) eats, but we’re not about to stop! The next Food Studio that we’re hitting is in the Italy pavilion — it’s L’Arte di Mangiare, which features (what else?) Italian cuisine. This booth didn’t exactly wow us last year, so let’s see if they’ve raised their game for 2022. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a delicious snack or dessert but don’t have a Disney World park ticket, Disney Springs is the place for you.

Disney Springs

This shopping and dining center actually has some of the best food in all of Disney World, parks included. We love the fried chicken at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, the half-pound cookies at Gideon’s Bakehouse, and the melty cheese paired with wine at Wine Bar George. Today, we’re looking for a lighter treat in Disney Springs, and we think we found the perfect one. [Read more…]
