food IS a theme park
Planning a Disney World trip? We know — there’s a LOT that goes into it!
Magic Kingdom
You have to pick dates to take a trip, book a hotel, buy tickets and make park pass reservations, decide if you want to buy Genie+, and choose how you’re going to get to Disney World. It can be super overwhelming, but it can also be fun! So we’re here to show you 5 exciting things that are changing at Disney World during March!
One of our favorite Disney World parks in terms of food and atmosphere is Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The park might be underrated, as many favor the nostalgia of Magic Kingdom or the thrill rides of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but trust us when we say that you should NOT sleep on Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
You can find some amazing eats in this park, there are a few can’t-miss attractions, and it’s quite possibly the most relaxing of Disney World’s four theme parks. If you haven’t been in a while, you might need a quick update about what’s changed at Animal Kingdom, so come along with us to check out everything that’s NEW in this park. [Read more…]
If you’ve been a fan of Disney Food Blog for a while, then you know we’re all about the EATS.
Zuri’s Sweets Shop
We’ve been to every restaurant in Disney World, tried hundreds of snacks, and we’re constantly on the lookout for the latest food news from the parks. But one thing that we’re consistently passionate about? Disney cupcakes! And recently, we tried out a limited-time one in Animal Kingdom.
Although this is Disney World’s calm before the storm (the storm being spring break crowds), there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks right now!
Tree of Life
TRON Lightcycle / Run is now in previews with its first-of-a-kind Disney ride feature, adaptive seating, and on-ride photos. The Festival of the Arts is still happening in EPCOT (even though it’s almost over!). There are plenty of new delicious eats to try all over Disney World. Maybe that’s why we started to see the wait times go UP this week!
Disney World rides will sometimes close temporarily due to technical difficulties or bad weather. Other times, the rides close for scheduled maintenance.
Kali River Rapids
Disney usually announces those scheduled closures so that you can be prepared for your next vacation. To help you get ready, check out this list of everything that’ll be CLOSED in Disney World next week! [Read more…]
We’ve got an important heads-up for anyone heading to the Disney World parks this weekend!
Clouds over Cinderella Castle
As veteran Disney World travelers may know, there are tons of reasons why you may need to adjust your park day plans on the fly. Whether it’s an unexpected ride closure, a last-minute dining reservation, or a desperate need to return to the room for a nap, flexibility is key in making sure you and your family stay happy — and safe — during your vacation.
Will you be heading to Disney World next week?
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Do you have a packing list? Do you have all your advance dining reservations? Did you charge your MagicBand+? Do you know what park hours look like, as well as park pass availability? If not, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration is officially over soon, on March 31st.
But that 50th Cinderella Castle is SO PRETTY
After that, we’ll be saying goodbye to a lot of things, including the Harmonious nighttime show in EPCOT and the Disney Enchantment fireworks in Magic Kingdom. But what makes us really sad is the food we’ll have to say goodbye to — and WE ARE NOT READY. 😢
Okay, where are our Loungefly fans at? Those mini backpacks are incredibly popular because they can hold your essentials AND let you rep some of our favorite Disney characters, movies, and more.

Tree of Life

We learned that DAILY housekeeping is coming back to Disney World resorts, got a look at the newly remodeled rooms coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and watched as Encanto won three Grammys! But today, we’re headed to Animal Kingdom to show you everything new that happened this week. Let’s take a look.
