food IS a theme park
What’s that? You’re tired of hearing about Disney Genie+ and all the extra upgrades that are gonna cost you $7 here and $15 there?
Water for the win!
Don’t worry, because I’m about to share some Disney World upgrades and perks that won’t cost a single penny.
There are a lot of things to love about Disney World…and there are some things that are decidedly not my favorite. If you’re a Disney pro, or if you’re learning to become one, there are a few things that are just bad.
Toy Story Land Crowds
But, that doesn’t mean we’re stuck with an unhappy ending. We’re Disney pros for a reason, even if there’s something we hate…we know how to fix it.
2021 was a year of change in the Disney parks. On the one hand, a lot of things reopened that we had been missing since the 2020 closure.
Cinderella Castle
We also gained a lot of new experiences (especially around that historical 50th Anniversary celebration). But with these openings and reopenings also came closures and losses that will continue to impact Disney as it rolls its way into the new year.
There are a LOT of restaurants in Disney World. One is themed to kitchens of the past, another puts you at the center of a drive-in theater, and a separate one will throw you directly into the world of Star Wars.

Today it’s time for a game of tug-of-war – only this time, we’re playing with Disney World restaurants that are so odd, we can’t quite tell if they’re absolutely charming or something you’ll never want to experience again!
Nothing wrong with a healthy neighborly rivalry, right? Who’s got the best yard? Who passes out the best candy at Halloween? Who puts up the brightest Christmas lights around the house each year?
Wilderness Lodge
But there’s another competition afoot. If you’re both going to Disney World next year, WHO’S trip is going to be the one coming up on top? (Spoiler alert: it’s totally yours).
There are so many different ways to spend your time in Disney World depending on what your priorities are.
“it’s a small world”
Rides make up a huge part of the Disney experience, but how much time do you really want them to take up during your trip? Are the longest wait times really worth it?
Are you looking for a light meal in Disney World? Maybe one that doesn’t leave you feeling super full when all you want to do is drink around the world?
France Pavilion Expansion
Disney World has taken an iconic French treat to the next level with this new EPCOT restaurant, with a menu full of sweet AND savory items and a tasty meal that isn’t quite the usual theme park experience. But, is it worth YOUR time & money?
I’m here to tell you about the NEW secrets snacks at Disney World. Now, these are the snacks that have recently been released because of new shop openings, 50th-anniversary hoop-la, seasonal merriment, or grandiose returns that I want to celebrate.
The “Cheers to 50 Years” Sundae!
So think of these as snacks that got lost in a sea of exciting things happening in the park and deserve to be over the radar, not under it.
These are tricks the team and I have tried in the past that have helped save us money, save time, and — in some cases – save our sanity.

When it comes to Walt Disney World resort hotels, size and location do matter!
CBR Pool
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort offers convenient transportation to the parks, a very cool pool, but are tropical island vibes and a sprawling resort what you want on your Disney vacation?
