food IS a theme park
Target Circle Week is officially upon us!

If you’re a Target Circle member (which is free to join), you can take advantage of awesome deals all week through July 13th. There’s deals on Disney souvenirs, trip essentials, and more! We also spotted a new deal for anyone looking to purchase tickets to Disneyland!
The 4th of July has officially come and gone, as have the 4th of July snacks.
Toffee and Coconut Blondie
While we’re getting ready for the start of Halloween season, we’ve found what might now be our new favorite mac and cheese snack. We also celebrated the return of hushpuppies to Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom (and we’re hoping Sleepy Hollow waffles will also return soon). We also checked out some new menu items at Morimoto Street Food in Disney Springs. As always, we’ve been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got some changes to share with you.
Classic rock indeed.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is OPEN!
An old favorite — Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith — returned to Disney World this week, and upended the wait times at Hollywood Studios, overtaking the second spot. It ended up being very close to being the most in-demand ride in the park. In addition, the Magic Kingdom had its final full normal week before losing one of its most in-demand attractions for over a month.
Things change so much at Disney World that it’s hard to keep up with everything.
Cinderella Castle
In Magic Kingdom, we just recently saw the opening of a brand new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’re also gearing up to see what Disney has planned for the big Magic Kingdom expansion. Sometimes, though, things close in Disney World, and we’ve got a big update about some entertainment at Magic Kingdom that will be temporarily suspended.
Before you embark on your Disney World vacation, you may get a LOT of comments and opinions from the people in your life.

Some of these may be great pieces of advice, ones that we would give you! Others may be terrible, but the most important thing to remember is that everyone’s advice is based on what they have personally experienced (or heard secondhand) and everyone’s different. This also means that everyone’s preferences for their vacations are different. Even though we knew that this decision we made in Disney World was the right one, it certainly didn’t feel like it!
Planning a trip to Disney World can be overwhelming. You need to figure out how you are going to get there, purchase park tickets, plan your dining reservations, and so much more.

And then you realize you also need to figure out what you need to bring with you while you are in the parks. You don’t want to miss anything, but you also don’t want to be weighed down with unnecessary items. [Read more…]
There are hundreds of places to grab a bite to eat in and around Disney World!
World Premiere Food Court
Each of Disney’s hotels offers at least one or more restaurants for you to stop by to enjoy during your stay. But every now and then, these restaurants will close for refurbishment. It’s important to stay up to date on which places will be available and which won’t be while you’re on vacation. Speaking of which, one Disney World food court has partially closed!
A lot of us on the team are huge fans of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT.

This is the park’s newest attraction and very well may be the most popular attraction in the entire resort (except for those who struggle with motion sickness — this is NOT the ride for you). And it looks like one of our favorite Xandarians FROM the ride just got to hop on for a spin for the first time!
Halloween may still be many months away, but the Disney parks have already started preparing!
Halloween in Disneyland!
We saw tons of new updates released for the Halloween festivities that we will be able to find in both Disneyland and Disney World this year, and tickets have been on sale for the events on each coast for a few weeks now. If you were hoping to head to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland this year, we hope you already got your tickets, because they’re SOLD OUT!
Yes, it’s true… the version of Disney Jollywood Nights that debuted at Disney World last holiday season is CHANGING, and one of these changes has us all buzzing.
Jollywood Nights
When Disney announced the divisive holiday party’s return, they made sure to also confirm several things that would be returning from last year’s event AND confirm a few new things as well. We think one of these new changes could be the highlight of the night and yet no one seems to be talking about it! [Read more…]
