food IS a theme park
Wow! What a month, y’all!
Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi
SO much happened in May: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT. We had a ton of announcements come in from Star Wars Celebration. While all that was going on, we also kept an eye on every menu at Disney World restaurants so we could keep you updated on any changes.
What a week, right?
Which would you pick?
We’ve been gearing up for Star Wars Celebration, sharing all the big news and announcements, but don’t think we’ve forgotten about food because, well, FOOD IS our middle name (literally). So let’s grab a churro and take a look at Disney World restaurant menus and see what kind of updates we’ve seen this week.
When you think classic theme park food, we’re guessing burgers and fries come to mind, right?
We know a thing or two about burgers
While a lot of people would consider that the standard theme park fare, Disney has SO much more than that now. From the food booths at EPCOT festivals to steakhouses, there are a lot of options. However, this doesn’t mean we’re against burgers at Disney, because they definitely have their place, especially now that there are SO many more to choose from. So, let’s take a look at EVERY. SINGLE. BURGER. you can get in Disney World and Disneyland!
Disney World is way more than theme parks. It’s also Disney Springs PLUS all the wonderfully-themed Disney World hotels.
Caribbean Beach Resort
Whether you want to feel like you’re vacationing on the French Riviera or spending time at a beach in the Caribbean or reliving pop culture nostalgia, each Disney World hotel is unique and has its own kind of charm. We visit the hotels often to see what’s been going on at them, so let’s get to the latest round of hotel updates!
What’s the FIRST souvenir you think of when you think of Disney World? Is it ears? We bet it is!
Can you EVER have enough?
Even if it wasn’t, you have to admit that Minnie and Mickey ears are iconic and a total theme park staple. And, there are SO many to choose from! Seriously, Disney has released dozens of new pairs already this year — it’s hard to keep up. But, luckily for you, we made it easy and compiled ALL of them together in one place! So, let’s check out ALL of the Minnie and Mickey ears that have been released so far in 2022. We will continue to update this post as more ears are released throughout the year.
We love our tried and true Disney World food staples, like corn dog nuggets and plastic cheese, Dole Whip, and the famous Magic Kingdom spring rolls.
DOLE Whip with mango cream liqueur
But, it’s also very exciting to find new delicious seasonal treats (we just wish they would stick around!). So, let’s take a look at all of the NEW food at Disney World for the summertime!
Life moves pretty fast at Disney World, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you might miss something!
Polynesian Village Resort
Between new Mother’s Day treats, supply shortages, and big changes coming to EPCOT, there’s a lot to keep track of! And now it’s time to take a look at what’s new at the Disney World resorts this week. We have a lot to go over from baby birds to Crocs charms, so let’s get started!
It’s no secret that wherever you look in Disney World, things are constantly changing.
Spaceship Earth
We recently got to experience Connections Cafe and Eatery for the very first time, and we even got the chance to go on EPCOT’s newest thrill ride ahead of its official opening (SPOILER: it’s awesome!). But, that’s not all the change we’re currently seeing around the parks, so let’s take a look at the Disney World construction updates from this week!
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!
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster when it comes to MagicBands in Disney World lately!
MagicBands
We found out last year that a new generation of MagicBands would be released some time in 2022, but an official release date has not been released. However, the new MagicBand+ was recently put on sale accidentally for a very short amount of time before Disney pulled them from the shelves (we were able to snag one, though!). So, until they’re officially available, we’ll keep telling you about when new styles of the current MagicBands are released. And, there’s a new band that only a select group of people are able to grab!
