food IS a theme park
Disney World vacations can be complicated.
Welcome to Disney World!
When you’re planning a trip — especially your FIRST trip — you start to realize how BIG Disney World is — 40+ square miles, and how many choices there are for hotels.
Sometimes, breakups can be hard… and messy. Breaking up with your Disney World annual pass could be one of the most heartwrenching decisions to make.
Annual Pass
Even with hotel stay promotions, complimentary souvenir magnets, and merchandise discounts offered to Disney World annual passholders, sometimes those just aren’t benefits that are enough to keep renewing your annual pass year after year. And for several of our readers, it’s time to move on from the days of calling themselves annual passholders for many different reasons. [Read more…]
So you’ve made it to Disney World, and you just want to ride EVERYTHING.
Slinky Dog Dash
We get it. Maybe you’ve looked at our rankings of rides for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and you’ve used those lists to decide on your priority rides. Well, here’s the thing — WHEN you decide to ride attractions could make a HUGE difference, so we’re going to tell you when you want to jump in line for those rides in Disney World.
This is almost guaranteed to be the happiest and cutest thing you read on the internet today. It’s a post about cute baby animals!
Disney World animals have to eat, too!
Disney hosts animals in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Tri-Circle-D Ranch, and EPCOT (at The Seas Pavilion). They are bound to have a few baby animals for us to check out. This year was not a disappointment for the animal lovers at Disney!
So what’s going on with Disney World restaurants this week?
Oswald Triple Chocolate Cake
Well, Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom had a ROUGH day earlier this week thanks to some maintenance issues. We got the menus and prices for some new food booths coming to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Oh, and did we mention those booths are sticking around even AFTER the festival ends? We also had some big restaurant menu changes this week, so let’s chat about those!
Disney World is seemingly ever-changing, and with that comes saying goodbye to fan-favorite attractions and dining experiences.
Animal Kingdom
At the 2023 Destination D23 event, Disney shared a few new things that would be coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For new things to come to Animal Kingdom, it’s likely that we’ll have to say goodbye to some old favorites.
Let’s face it, chances are if you’re not coming to Disney World for the food, characters, or entertainment, you’re probably there for the rides.
Spaceship Earth
Disney World is jam-packed with rides and attractions that will keep you on your feet all day long sprinting from one to the next. But with so many rides that can break down at any moment, time could be of the essence when you’re trying to get so much done in such a small amount of time. [Read more…]
Let’s face it — staying at a Disney World hotel comes with a lot of great perks.
Tree of Life
First, you’ve got easy transportation options to and from your hotel to the parks and Disney Springs. Next, you’ve got that whole Disney atmosphere thing going on at your hotel. There’s also Early Theme Park Entry for all hotels and Extended Evening Hours for deluxe hotels. Well, Extended Evening Hours are about to get a LOT better.
If you’re going to Disney World in 2024, the time to start planning is NOW! Don’t worry — we’re here to help.
Disney World entrance
We’ve already talked about the hard-to-get hotel reservations and which restaurants you should prioritize when making your dining plans, but now we’ve got to bring up Disney World RIDES. Many guests choose to use Disney Genie+ in order to skip the standby lines on certain rides and avoid those long wait times. If you plan to use Genie+, you need to know which Lightning Lane reservations fill up the quickest so that you don’t miss out on your favorite rides! [Read more…]
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations ended in March 2023, but some things stuck around.
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
The 50th Anniversary merchandise hasn’t disappeared overnight from the parks, and there are still a few items scattered throughout the gift shops. Some of the more popular snacks from the celebration have remained on menus in the parks, just renamed. But there’s one very obvious anniversary offering that’s still available…and now we know why!
