food IS a theme park
Some Disney World restaurants are more popular than others…

To many, dining is one of the most important parts of a Walt Disney World vacation, with everything from in-demand fine dining establishments to fan favorite quick service snacks scattered across the property. However there are definitely some eateries in Disney World that aren’t quite as popular as others, and food isn’t always the main reason why.
As much as we love staying on Disney property, the experience isn’t perfect!
Polynesian
Since Disney opened up their first true hotels with Walt Disney World’s Contemporary and Polynesian Village in 1971 — The Disneyland Hotel does technically predate them, but has a twisting backstory that involves not being owned by Disney until the mid-1980s — staying on Disney property has become an integral part of Disney vacation experience for millions at each of the company’s resorts around the world. However, just because these hotels allow guests to remain in the “Disney bubble” for the duration of their vacation, it doesn’t mean staying at them is all sunshine and rainbows. [Read more…]
Listen, you can never say that you don’t have options when it comes to dining at Disney World!
Sebastian’s Bistro
With over 200 restaurants to choose from, you can almost go to a different spot every day for most of the year without repeating, and some really great places are universally loved (we’re looking at you, Boma). That reminds us that some spots are incredible but for some unknown reason, they keep flying under the radar. Let’s discuss these underrated restaurants and give them the love they deserve!
It’s Spring Break in Disney World and we’re dealing with a lot of crowds right now.
Pizzafari
That hasn’t stopped us from trying out some new treats this week, though, like a Carrot Tart, a Tower of Terror-themed cookie, Easter Egg macarons, and more. However, Disney World restaurants have been switching up their menus this week, too, so we’ve also been tracking those. Let’s see what changed!
Can you believe it is already April?!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
That means that we’re inching closer and closer to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Jamboree re-opening! Disney hasn’t announced an opening date for either of these attractions, but we’ve been noticing some big changes over at the Frontierland ride! Let’s check them out and see what else will remain closed this week.
Choosing what Disney hotel to stay at is a heavy decision.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
But what if we told you that inside those hotels, not all rooms are made equally? It’s true — and we’re not just talking about rooms that are closer to the main hub at value hotels, or rooms that are closer to the main gates at park-walkable hotels. THESE are really the best of the best when it comes to Disney hotel rooms!
It has been a very long time since we could bound across the wobbly barrel bridge in Magic Kingdom.
The barrel bridge has been closed for a WHILE
You might be wondering why we care so much about a small bridge in Magic Kingdom. Well, frankly, we care about EVERYTHING in Disney World, even a small bridge on Tom Sawyer Island. And that is why we’re here to tell you some exciting news about the bridge, along with more Disney World closures. Come with us to see what will be closed in Disney World this coming week!
Disney World transportation can be scary and overwhelming to think about — but believe it or not, there was a time it was actually SCARIER!
Tower of Terror, Disney’s Hollywood Studio
Disney World offers a ton of different kinds of transportation like bus routes, water taxis, and a monorail system. Perhaps the most famous form of Disney World transportation, however, is the Disney Skyliner. While it’s an incredibly popular way to travel around Disney World these days, that wasn’t always the case.
We have BIG Disney water park news!
Typhoon Lagoon
One water park is reopening this week while another is closing. These two water parks frequently flip flop being open and closed for refurbishment. Is your favorite Disney World water opening or closing this week? Let’s find out!
What a week in Disney World!!!
Orange Bird Liege Waffle
We have made our way ALL over EPCOT to enjoy the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival (and all that glorious food!). We’re also gearing up to eat a TON of special Easter snacks in Disney World. However, we have been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus and have noticed some changes we want to tell you about.
