food IS a theme park
It’s a new month in Disney World which means we’re getting all sorts of fun new treats and snacks to celebrate the month of May! Not only that, but we’re also celebrating Star Wars Day, Mother’s Day, and Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Basically, there’s a TON of new stuff to try.
Disney Springs
Today, we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try a limited edition cocktail for the month of May.
Disney is celebrating Mother’s Day this week, and just like any other holiday, they’re going all out — especially when it comes to food! We love to try specialty food items, and have recently eaten a Millennium Falcon Sundae for Star Wars Day, a strawberry dressed up as a carrot for Easter, and even a St. Patrick’s Day whoopie pie!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Now, we’re heading over to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to try a limited time Mother’s Day treat!
Mother’s Day is almost here: have you figured out what gift to get for your mom yet? Disney celebrates BIG for many holidays, especially when it comes to food, and Mother’s Day is no exception. We’ve already got a full list of everything coming to Disney World AND Disneyland for Mother’s Day, and we can’t wait to try it all!
Let’s celebrate Mother’s Day
Today, we’re heading over to Disney’s All-Star Resorts to try a limited-time Mother’s Day treat.
The long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is only a few weeks away from finally opening in EPCOT! We’ve already seen what the Cast Member’s costumes look like, as well as the loading area, and the ride vehicles and we even got to RIDE IT for the first time today during a media preview event!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
So, aside from bringing you a look at the one-of-a-kind storyline and answering your questions about whether the omnicoaster will make you sick for the rest of the day, we’re sharing a look at what might be your favorite part of the entire ride!
One of the best ways to commemorate a trip to Disney World is by picking out a souvenir to take home with you — and there’s so much to choose from! You could go for the classic Minnie Ear headband, a spirit jersey, or even some awesome trinket dishes that take us back to the days of needing to buy ticket books to get on the rides. But, the one souvenir that can be the hardest to resist as you make your way down Main Street, U.S.A.? The balloons!
Balloons!
There’s the classic Mickey Balloons, of course, but there are also a ton of other designs like ones with Mickey and Minnie in front of the castle and even some for different seasons of the year! And, as we were making our way into Magic Kingdom, we spotted ANOTHER new balloon in the bunch!
It’s time to celebrate Star Wars Day in the Disney parks! There’s a ton of new food and fun experiences like new PhotoPass opportunities coming to Disney World in celebration of this galactic holiday, and we’ve been having a great time checking everything out (but of course, we’ve had the most fun trying the food!).
Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios
So, grab your lightsaber and let’s head to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try one of the extremely limited time offerings for this holiday!
MagicBands may not be required to navigate around Disney World anymore, but we’ve noticed that a lot of people still choose to wear them! It can be convenient to have everything you need to get into the parks or your room right there on your wrist, instead of having to pull out your phone or physical ticket.
Springtime MagicBand in Disney Springs!
If you’re someone who still doesn’t want to let go of that MagicBand lifestyle, then you’ll want to see these new MagicBands available to resort guests and annual passholders!
When you book your Disney World vacation, you have a LOT of options when it comes to hotels. You can stay in a Disney hotel, like Pop Century, Caribbean Beach Resort, or the Contemporary Resort. Or, you can stay in a non-Disney hotel close to the parks.
Pop Century Resort in Disney World
One of those non-Disney hotels that is close to the parks is the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, and they’ve just announced two new packages in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, but they’re going to cost you!
The Main Street Electrical Parade returned to Disneyland a little over two weeks ago, and we are so excited it’s back! In celebration of its return, Disney released a Main Street Electrical Parade merchandise collection, complete with a Minnie ear headband and Loungefly backpack!
Main Street Electrical Parade
In addition to a merchandise collection, there’s a Main Street Electrical Parade dining package at the Plaza Inn, plus an Elliott Dragon popcorn bucket, a Light-Up Turtle cup, and a Main Street Electrical Parade Lightbulb cup!
There’s constantly something to celebrate in Disney World, and luckily for us, these celebrations oftentimes come with special food items! Last week, we were celebrating Halfway to Halloween, tomorrow we’ll be celebrating Star Wars Day, and since October 1st, 2021, for 18 months we’ll be celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
Another Halfway to Halloween Treat — Hocus Pocus Cupcakes
If you didn’t know, May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, and Disney World will be celebrating with some special food offerings throughout the month with the theme “A World of Voices.”
