food IS a theme park
Lots of things have been changing at Disney World lately. Restaurants have reopened, hotels are undergoing refurbishment, restaurants are being reimagined, and more. But, some spots are still closed.
Grand Floridian
One restaurant that hasn’t reopened (yet) is Citricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. We shared last year that the restaurant would be undergoing a refurbishment and now we’ve got a BIG update on just how the restaurant has been reimagined and when it’ll be open again!
If you are thinking about visiting Disney World for the 50th anniversary, you’ve probably started making plans.

Plans for a 2021 Disney World visit typically include park passes, hotel reservations, and theme park tickets. But with the 50th Anniversary being a BIG event, you’ll want to get started on that trip planning very early. So, recently we took a look at Disney World resort hotel availabilities and pricing for the 50th anniversary, right around October 1st, 2021. What does hotel availability look like right now? What spots are already booked up and what’s still available (if anything)? We’re breaking it all down for you here!
Packing for a vacation at Walt Disney World can be a little bit intimidating!
Welcome to Disney World!
You need to remember rain gear for those infamous Florida thunderstorms, all of your comfiest shoes to keep you moving throughout the day, and things like portable chargers so you can keep up with the wait times on your phone! We have an excellent packing guide to help you get started, but even with all the lists in the world, we sometimes forget something we need. Thankfully, you don’t have to run out to CVS during your vacation, you should just be able to pick up what you need at your Disney resort’s gift shop!Â
We’re not going to lie — we are OBSESSED with Minnie Ears ’round these parts.
So many ears…
And Disney knows we’re not the only ones — because why else would they release SO MANY? And ears come in so many different varieties that it’s easy to find a pair to represent everything we love about Disney! But did you know you could also match your ears to your Disney World resort?
There are over 200 restaurants in Disney World, but only a select few tend to get all the glory like Be Our Guest Restaurant or Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Magic Kingdom
But, there are quite a few under-the-radar restaurants that aren’t talked about much but are still worth checking out! Some are our favorite spots in all of Disney World! Don’t be the Disney guest that just passes by these restaurants — here’s why we think you should make time for them!
No matter what kind of day we’re having, seeing Disney characters is always a surefire way to make us smile!
Character Cavalcade
Whether we’re spotting them in Disney World or simply watching a video, there’s nothing quite like a character sighting! After seeing some of our favorite recent character videos, we think you’ll agree!Â
We are eating at Disney World every day, and that includes eating that most American of snacks, the BURGER! And we’ve had some great ones (and some not-so-great ones).
Are you drooling yet?
Some of these burgers are just UNIQUE, and some are just made so well that we always go back for more. And considering there are literally hundreds of burgers in Disney World’s restaurants, we’re putting together a list of our stand-outs, the ones we consider must-eats. So let’s get started!
We can never get enough Magical Moments! These extra special experiences are Disney World’s bread and butter, and it’s always incredible to witness fairy tales come to life!
Cinderella’s Castle
It’s rare, though, that we get a glimpse behind the curtain, which is why we were practically giddy when we stumbled upon a Cinderella-worthy carriage outside of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort in Disney World!
Alright, friends, we’re here today with another visit from a SUPER underrated (IMO) restaurant in Disney World. So, hop on that monorail and cruise on over for lunch with us!
Grand Floridian Cafe
We’re headed to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to visit a table-service option with some serious charm — Grand Floridian Cafe! This relaxing spot may not be as flashy as some of the other restaurants at this hotel like 1900 Park Fare and Citricos, but it does have yummy and moderately-priced (!!!) eats!
Buckle up — we’re about to show ya something REALLY cool.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, you may spot some chocolate sculptures popping up every now and then. And guys — they’re seriously impressive. We’ve seen designs inspired by Mickey and Minnie, holidays, characters, and more. But now, the talented Cast Members at the Grand Floridian Bakery have done it again!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
